This is a very family-friendly park. The only drawback is that most of the RV sites are taken by seasonal users. There are few "transient" sites. Be sure to call ahead if you want to stay here. This is our second summer here and we consider it our summer "home." The owners are very personable and hands-on. It is a second generation, family-owned campground, with the third generation learning the ropes. There are activities every weekend. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Beautiful scenery...the bathroom facilities were unacceptable. There were wild rabbits running all around this place...even through the big puddles that were created when it rained. The man staffing the office was really nice and helpful. There is also a newspaper article hanging in the office about how the campground needed to be evacuated a few years back due to both creeks cresting their banks...interesting story, but questionable marketing practice to have it hanging in the office.

We stayed here when we visited hershey Park. The sites are grassy and a little hilly. They are close together with no buffer. Some of the tent sites are very close to the highway so request one not near the mini golf. The kids loved the mini golf even though it was a little run down. They also loved walking to the camp store and buying .25 ice creams. The store is well stocked with anything you may have left at home. We did not use the showers but the bathrooms were okay. Nothing great. They are centrally located. There is no hot water in the bathrooms. Each site comes with a fire ring and a picnic table. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great place to relax and fish. Limited sites available on stream with full hook ups as most are seasonals. Owner should consider upgrading more of sites to full hook-up. Very narrow roads to campground, we have a 34' Class A and just make the bridge. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here with our Outdoor World membership through Thousand Trails. The stay was free with the membership. They have a gated security that is staffed most of the time. We were here during the Memorial Day weekend 2009 and the park was almost 100% full. The main roads are paved up to the area where the sites are. The roads to the sites are all gravel. The sites have a gravel drive. They are level and very spacious and most come with a fire ring and a barbeque. We were on a full service site with 50/30 Amp service, water and sewer. There are a lot of sites by the rive as well, but they do not have sewer. The park offers free honey due service at no charge. We have a satellite dish. If you do, you will need to watch for a site that is open to the southwest. We had no problem doing that. They do not allow golf carts here. I use ours due to my disabilities, but could not use it here. They do allow a scooter or power chair if you have one of those. There is a nice pool, free mini golf, basketball courts and playgrounds. There is a petting zoo for the kids. Great RV park for the kids. The office has camping supplies and a small food store with the basics. The staff runs a lot of activities on the weekend. The grounds are well kept. The park is located between Gettysburg and Lancaster. A lot of stuff to see and do in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be back.

We just bought a Thousand Trails membership, and Thousand Trails has just acquired Outdoor World. This was our first use of the TTN/Outdoor World system. We just love this place. Right from the start, we were greeted with neatly manicured and landscaped surroundings. The office staff was very friendly and helpful. We were told to pick out a site to our liking, and then return to the office to let them know where we'll be. The sites are long and level, and spaced nicely apart from neighboring sites. There is a nice variety of farm animals here....fun for adults and kids alike. Can't say enough about this place....we'll definitely return! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a wonderful campground. The campground is also a working hobby farm with many animals. We camped here during Easter break with another family and between us we had 8 boys. The kids loved it. It had a great playground area for the kids, flat roads for bike riding, free mini golf, the fun of the animals and beautiful gardens. They even did a pot luck for Easter dinner. We were here early in the season so most of the week we were there, the cg was almost empty. The sites are typical of an RV park. The showers/bathrooms were clean. It is conveniently located to Gettyburg and Lancaster County. We would definitely camp here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a great park and very well run. The "farm" is in the middle of the campground and gives the kids lots of opportunities to interact with different animals. (Many tame rabbits here and in the adjacent Conewago Isle CG) Friendly staff and guests. No "seasonal trash", wild golf carts, etc. The sites are first come first served. The entertainment and activities are great for all. There is ample room between sites to give you a private feel but yet not too secluded. We will DEFINITELY be back! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This highly unusual campground combines the beauty of camping with the features of a farm, and manages to execute the combination in a superb, family-friendly, and child-centered manner. We enjoyed a full schedule of weekend activities (including a movie, a craft program, a hay ride, and a petting zoo), luxuriated in the large and uncrowded pool, witnessed the birth of two goats, played several rounds of mini-golf, and were most impressed with the staff's attention to detail and desire to accommodate our needs. Our rental unit was capable of sleeping eight people, nicely furnished, immaculately clean, and a bargain for the nightly rate that we paid. I highly recommend this campground, which is available to both Outdoor World members and to non-members like us. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a working farm with a campground dispersed throughout. What a riot! It's on a nice river. The staff was great. Buttercup was the most personable cow I've ever seen. We've camped all over the country and this place was really neat. It's convenient to Hershey, Gettysburg, York, Hanover. Membership park, but nobody bothered us at all to join. Go here--it was more fun than the tourist activities all around it. Very quiet save for the rooster, but he was just being a rooster. Clean, polite families camping there. Even had a civil war encampment/reenactment going on.
Highly recommended! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
