Absolutely beautiful dairy farm and we had the opportunity to take an impromptu hay ride with corn maze employees to check out the Christmas Village which amazing. “A little slice of Americana”. DJ and Loretta were super nice and let us explore the whole farm, talk to the all the cows. Even made a new friend Benny the cat who hung out with us at our campfire. 10/10 We will definitely be back!!!

The camping spot itself is so nice! The views are amazing! They even have the sweetest little sets of lights going from the driveway up to the camping spot. Unfortunately, I got stuck trying to pull my camper up their street. But the host David was amazing and he went and got my camper and brought it all the way up to the campsite for me! I couldn't have asked for any more hospitality.!!

A perfect stop. I stayed for one night during my travel south. It is a pull thru site coming into the property. I would recommend two water hoses and a back up electric extension as you may or may not need depending on your RV and where your hookups are located. Beautiful country. Good communication. Easy on and off the Interstate.

Weekend Trip to Hardscrabble Hill

This was an unbelievable spot. The scenery was gorgeous and the site was a dream- you’re at the top of a hill with stunning views but the clearing itself is flat and level with full hookup facilities, fire pit, picnic table and even trash & recycling bins onsite. We arrived after dark but David’s instructions were clear and the path is well defined with small solar lights that were bright enough to indicate the driveway but dim enough that we could still see all the stars at night. We loved visiting the dairy farm down the road and watching the birds in the trees surrounding the site. It felt like a private piece of paradise. Thank you for sharing your land with us!

What a lovely site! Super easy to pull in and pull back out. Easy to level. Felt incredibly private, despite being next to the owner's home. When we did see the owners, they were so friendly and kind. We were able to take our dogs for a nice mini-hike around their fields, pond and some mowed trails. We liked it so much, we stayed again on our way back home! (had been traveling from NE down to TN and back). We will definitely save this site and stay again if we go back down south in the future.

Love the place, sunrise and sunset were picturesque. Even tho its near a road, there were barely any one passing by, the whole night we stayed there only 2 vehicles passed by. Recommend to everyone passing by the area, or even just for a little R&R. Will definitely come back if we have the chance :)

Wonderful property and host! We had a fabulous stay for a long weekend and loved the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. David was very informative with his directions and was so welcoming. We loved having electric and water on site and the campsite was very clean and having trash bins was a nice touch. We enjoyed watching the hot air balloons and the location was convenient to visit local breweries and Valley Forge Historical Park. We will definitely be back!

This might be the most beautiful HipCamp spot I’ve stayed at so far! It’s secluded but also nicely centrally located! Having a full hookup was also so nice, the sewage connection was a tad higher than my RV connection so it took a little longer when we did dump but so convenient nonetheless! I’d 100% stay again!

We had such a wonderful stay at Hardscrabble Hill! The property is absolutely beautiful, the evenings were especially lovely and the night sky was filled with stars. It's a terrific place to make s'mores over a bonfire. The campsite is also in a great location, fairly close to both Philadelphia and Lancaster, which made it really convenient. David, the host, was fantastic! He was extremely helpful and answered all of our questions quickly and kindly. His hospitality made our stay even better. We truly enjoyed our time here and will definitely be back. Highly recommend Hardscrabble Hill to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful getaway!

The best big rig friendly camping near Lancaster guide

Where to go

Central Lancaster

PA Dutch Country may be known for its Amish farmlands, but before you explore Lancaster’s picturesque surroundings, spend some time in the city itself. Full of rich history and unique charm, Lancaster is the perfect place to spend a night. Whether you want a family resort with free wifi or an RV site near hiking trails, the Lancaster camping experience offers access to a range of restaurants, galleries, and architecture.

New Holland

Once you’ve had your fill of Lancaster, head east. You’ll quickly understand why Amish Country’s vast hills and frequent farms deserve so much attention. Campsites near New Holland embrace the best of rural Pennsylvania. As you drive to your RV campground with full hookups, keep your eyes peeled for a horse and buggy. Once you arrive, savor a slow evening from your camping resort’s picnic table.

Clarke Lake

The physical land of Lancaster is one of Dutch Country’s main claims to fame—but the region’s waterways equally warrant a visit. Explore the area west of Lancaster, where the Susquehanna River blends into Clarke Lake. Tent camping in the area is always a good idea, but for an even better camping trip? A campsite with easy access to the water, where you can swim, fish, and relax at your own pace.

When to go

East Coast camping thrives in the summertime, when Pennsylvania’s weather comes with maximum sunshine. Yet because Lancaster County is all about the landscape, plan your camping experience for the fall. Amish Country is always breathtaking, but it peaks around October. The colorful season also comes with an abundance of farmer’s markets, so campers can enjoy Pennsylvania’s local produce from a cabin or RV site with a grill.
