This was our second year for the Halloween time frame. We always have a great time and the cg really does a lot for the kids around this time of year. A lot of the sites are very tight, especially the full hookup woodland area. Meadow view is a little better for full hookup's however you back up to the train. It's kind of a tossup. The Hilltop you have more room but no sewer. All in all it's a nice CG and we'll be back again next year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

After reading other reviews with EVERYONE mentioning the EXTREMELY SMALL campsites, I can't imagine a rating higher than a 6. These were the narrowest and shortest campsites I have ever seen. It is very difficult to position your rig so you are not in your neighbor's window. Then, there is barely enough space for your picnic table (ours was right under our neighbor's slide-out) or find a suitable place for the fire ring. The Woodland section was wooded, but that's about all. You are right off the highway as well and hear the shuttle bus to Hershey and the freight train all day and half the night. The shuttle to the RV show was free and convenient, but there was no schedule. We can't understand how you need to wait 45 minutes for a 10 minute ride and all the driver does is make a loop. The shuttle to Hershey was much better and dropped you right at the entrance. We were only staying here for the RV show and Hershey park. I could not imagine actually "camping" here where you sit outside all day long and read a book or light a fire. If we return, we would stay in the section that does not have full hookup (Shady Rest) and enjoy having a little space between campers. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

If it weren't for the VERY narrow sites and the campfire rings close to your neighbors, I would rate this a 10. However, several times; we had smoke come in and it set off our C02 detector and things were just TOO cozy. Rate was very fair though and the CG clean and well taken care of. Showers and Toilets in nice condition. It's just those close sites and the fact that most of the "big rig" sites were a tad too short are keeping the CG from being a 10. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Full Service Loop Area, Some Positives: 1. The campground is extremely clean. 2. The Wi-Fi on the full service loop worked very well, and it was not necessary to be close to the store or camp host for good speeds. 3. Almost all sites are in the shade, and this worked really well during our summer stay. 4. Trash collection is at your site and is done many times during the day. 5. The store prices were reasonable, and we purchased all of our shirts and trinkets here at a greatly reduced rate. 6. Because you are staying on a Hershey property, you get a two hour trial visit for one night in the park with the purchase of your tickets. 7. The bus tram to and from the park is also included in your stay and runs regularly. 8. And, you get in early to the park because of staying on the company property. (Note: Make sure you get an extra slip for this from the store when you purchase your tickets. If you don't have this slip of paper, you will be turned away from early admission into the park.) A Few Negatives: 1. The sites are as tight as they come. 2. The fire rings are close to neighboring sites and the smoke as well as the conversations around the fire will creep into your camper. 3. Those trees that provide so much shade, covered everything with sap when we were there. If you just purchased your camper or are very picky about your paint job, this will be a real agitation. Most of this came off with a good shower on the way home though. This was the most expensive place that we stayed during a four week trip, but we have already planned on going back in the near future. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here for a week in the Woodland section, pull thru sites & full hookup. The sites are a little small, but clean. It is a busy campground and gets very crowded on the weekends, but the convenience of the trolley to Hershey park was well worth it. The pools are clean and located right next to the store. We could not hear the train in this section(in the distance), but walking through other sections, it was much louder, (but the sites are bigger). We would stay here again if we were traveling back to Hershey park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our third stay at this campground and as always it was a wonderful place to stay while visiting Hershey. We had stayed in the Hilltop area for our past two trips, but decided to try the Shady Rest area this time. These are the best sites in the campground! We had site 135 which was next to the creek and backed up to the river. It was shady and we were so far back from the road that it was private as well. There seemed to be a lot of room between our site and the one next to us. There was a newer restroom/shower house in our section and it was kept clean during our entire stay even after a day of pouring rain which created a lot of muddy feet. The discounted tickets to Hersheypark along with the regular shuttle bus service can't be beat. You can still hear the train from this area, but we felt it was less noticeable to us in the Shady Rest area. We will definitely camp here again and request this same site. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is our second visit to Highmeadow and it was definitely better than the first. We stayed in the Woodland section - all pull throughs. We'd consider other parts of the campground only for the extra space. We could hear the train passing by but it was not obnoxious where we were at. Sites were clean, mostly level and well maintained. Bathrooms and showers were clean and well-kept. Pool was also clean if a little over-chlorinated. The only time we found any displeasure with the campground was Friday and Saturday when the weekend crowd rolled in. It got pretty crowded. The major advantage to this place is in the free shuttle bus to Hersheypark. If you're going to Hershey this is a huge advantage just in saving the cost of parking. Staff was always helpful, pleasant and informative about local atractions. Prices in the campground store were comparable to surrounding stores. Overall, one of the best RV parks in which we've stayed. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We camped here over Father's Day weekend in 2009. We were in town for the Hershey Soccer Tournament and also went to Hershey Park. There were five of us camping (plus the dog) in a Flettwood Niagara. We used a pull thru site # 191. The campground was booked full that weekend, but we didn't feel as though we were crowded at all. The site was wooded and provided water, sewer, electric, and cable. Didn't use the cable, but all others worked well. Sites were clean and level and had pcinic table and fire ring. Reps at check-in and in the store were great. Very courteous and helpful. The campground is very nice, with creek/stream as well as a wide creek in the back for exploring. Was concerned about the working freight train, but either it didn't run too often or we were far enough away. It was not an issue at all. The restrooms/showers were very clean. Those by the pool were used very often during the day, so they may have been less clean than those located away from the pool (wet bathing suits running in and out will do that). Once the pool crowd left, those restrooms were brought up to those throughout the park. Kids voted it the best campground they have stayed at because of the exploring they could do and the stream. We had a great time and will definitely camp here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

As others have stated, the spaces are a little close together. Our neighbors were hanging out at the campfire fairly late. They weren't being loud, but because they were so close, we could easily hear them. We have a 40' motorhome, and with 4 slideouts and the awning, we just got in between the trees. Maneuvering in the Woodland area is best done with the toad removed at the check-in area. In the first row of the Woodland area, many tow vehicles and toads were out in the road making it tough for a big rig to get through. The place was clean and the free shuttle to Hershey Park saves you $10/day. You get a $1 discount buying Hershey Park tickets at the campground. The pool and playground area are nice. It's a nice campground for going to Hershey Park, but not as much for spending the day at the campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The only thing we were not happy about here was the space between our camper and the one next to us. If we were to have a campfire it would have been very close to the neighbor's camper. Other than that this was a great campground. Very clean, quick check in and check out. Very close to everything and they have a shuttle bus to take you to Hershey park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The only reason I come back to this campground is for Hershey Park. I will only stay in the 200 sites (E,W,S backs up to field for kids to play) Our group had 5 sites and 1 cabin and there were over 35 of us.The family and friends is what made it a great time. However with this stay I was upset with the campers across from us. Stayed up till 3AM yelling screaming etc. We asked them to keep it down they were louder the next night. At check out we spoke to the manager and she said next time call on the phone and we will get someone to you. Another words sorry for your luck, so if any one has any problems remember the security phone is by front door of lodge. They do not have full time security, sad to say. Will I go back? Yes, as long as I am in 200 section and I know were the security phone is. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The sites at this campground are small and pretty tight together. However, they are level and clean. No matter were you are in this CG, you will hear the freight train or highway noise. This was the bad point for us. We asked for a site not close to the train, but we hear that thing roaring through at all sorts of hours in the morning. Again, the sites were very very close together, but were level and clean. I did not care for the fire pit as it was U shaped pit with low sides. The bathrooms were clean, but very cold in the morning (I guess they are not heated). There were no activities for the kids, although it was early spring and not "prime time". The CG is right down the road from all the Hershey attractions, so this is a selling point. I would probably try and locate another CG close by if I went again. If not, then I would stay here. It was not a bad place, just packed on top of each other like sardines. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is always our last trip of the season. We come here every Thanksgiving weekend for Christmas at Hershey. Hershey Park is open and family has a great time! Facilities are extremely clean and staff helpful. Shuttle bus takes you from C/G directly to Hershey Park for $0! No water at this time of the year but we manage. It has now become a family tradition! We already booked for 2009! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here again while going to Hershey Park's Christmas celebration over the Thanksgiving weekend. Due to the cold temperature, water was already cut off to the sites, but there was a fill station available in the campground. The sites in the Woodlands area of the Campground are pull-thru sites of varying lengths, but are narrow. Wi-Fi has great reception in the Woodlands area of the campground, though you do have to pay for it. I believe our rate was $8 for three days. The Camp Store has a great selection, and reasonable prices. The shuttle buses to Hershey Park ran every 15-30 minutes starting an hour before the Park opened for the day. I would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The campground was nice. Store was nice with lots of choices on numerous items. It was great being close to Hersheypark and the shuttle was free and ran every 15-20 minutes. Service was great, campground employees picked up trash at your site, 2-3 times a day. A few downfalls, the area we were in the camp sites were not level at all. Fire pits were way to close to the campers. We used the pit behind our motorhome. Thankfully no one was behind us. The train tracks are close, but to us it wasn't a real issue.

This is our second visit in as many years. The campground has all the aspects of a five star RV resort. The location is the perfect reason for staying. There are many close sight seeing places to visit. Hershey Park. Indian Echo Caverns. Down Hershey has many local restaurants with delicious menus. Bass Pro Shops has a retail store with 30 minutes. Cabelas retail store is 45 minutes from the grounds. The campground is very well maintained, and the staff is very friendly. Two things visitors must know. There is an active railroad track nearby. You will hear trains all hours of the day. The newest section of the grounds is close to the highway, but the noise level is not bad. Hershey High Meadow is a great campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

My family and I have spent a lot of time camping here. We tent camped for two years and then bought a travel trailer. My favorite spot is shady rest. Unfortunately our 36' camper won't fit in the area but if you have a tent or a pop up you should be fine. Restrooms in this area are new and lovely, you are right by the river and close to the pool yet far enough away from the train (that does run all hours of the day and night) that it didn't bother us. Pool is clean, playground is nice, well stocked camp store, game room. My kids love to bring their bikes and ride around.The free shuttle bus to the park is great. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great family park near Hershey attractions. A free shuttle runs every 20 minutes or so. Great kids activities (flashlight candy hunt, cool!), clean lifeguard supervised pools (kiddie pool too), great hot showers. I even did my laundry while here and it was conveniently located. The camp store has something for everyone. The only downers here for us were how close sites were (we were nervous about making a campfire) in the woodland area, and that 2 sites were having obvious black water issues (stunk!) and no one addressed it! There is also a freight train that runs alongside the campground 24 hours a day... Very new playgrounds. I would stay again if in the shady rest area. It has larger grass sites and a creek for kids to catch crayfish etc... We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Outstanding campground. Very friendly staff. All facilities were clean and orderly. Level sites. The shuttle to Hershey Park was outstanding. Always on time and the drivers were very friendly.The pools were clean and always had several life guards posted. I saw no golf carts in this quite campground to run you over. The freight train does pass by on the upper sites, but we stayed in the lower section and never really noticed it. Nice camp store and discount theme park tickets. I highly recommend this campground to any family wanting a nice place to stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We loved this campground! Staff was extremely helpful and informative. Our site was ready early and check in was a breeze. After reading the reviews we were prepared for the active train line and chose a site that was on the other side of the campground. You could hear the train but we all slept great. The pools were busy but clean with lots of lifeguards. We used the shuttle bus to the park which was the way to go. The bathrooms were updated with nice new sinks, counters and tiled showers. They were always clean when we used them. We would of given it a 10 except the site we had was not very level and needed some stone instead of camping on grass/dirt. Next time we would pick the woodland area. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Overall this was a very good park. We camped here in the Woodland section which consists of all pull-through W/E/S/C sites. Many have written about the railroad that runs next to the campground, but it was never an issue for us. We barely heard it. Sites were gravel covered, plenty wide and mostly level. Pool looked clean and was not overcrowded. Restrooms and showers were clean and well-maintained. All staff that we encountered were friendly and helpful. Check-in/check-out process was quick and efficient. Good access to Hersheypark including a shuttle bus that runs every half hour or so. My only complaint with this campground is that the camp store/grocery was small and cramped at the expense of a gift shop with wide aisles and general "Hershey" themed gifts.

Our first trip here and we were very impressed. They have shuttle service that takes you from the campground to Hershey Park and we used this. It was nice because we were able to come back and eat our dinner and then return to the park for more fun. We stayed at site 181 which is the very first site as you enter the campground. I was a little leery about it because of it being right at the entrance and at the shuttle bus pick up. I have to say it wasn't so bad and noisy. I guess we were just so tired from our day at the park that we didn't pay much attention to the buses coming and going. The staff for the bus service were very friendly as was everyone at the campground. The lifeguards were very nice and chatty too. We will stay here again and I feel like we got our monies worth.

Been here 3 year in a row. Great park, very convenient. Park offers half hour shuttle buses to front gate of park. Park has three pools. One for small children. Park is clean. Buy your tickets for Hershey Park at the campground and get a 3 hour free use of park/rides the night before. We arrived, ate dinner and headed to the park for the evening. Then got up and spent the next day there. Cheap tickets for park. Discounted at campground. Love this park and what they offer. We'll keep going back. Sites are good sized. All pull through out front. Out back the sites sit near a freight train. Stay away from that. Noise!! C/G has Wi-Fi which they give you free. I was able to pick it up at and inside my camper. I recommend this C/G. Nice inexpensive way to see Hershey. Kids had a blast. We went to park in morning, took shuttle home in afternoon for quick swim and lunch, then back at night to finish up. You won't be disappointed. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed at site #212, which was a pull-through with full hook-ups. The site was level and in a nice location since it was a very short walk to both the camp store and shuttle stop. Also, we barely noticed the sound of the railroad since the site was a comfortable distance away from the track. The pull-through sites are very basic without a lot of room between campsites, but the campground’s location and shuttle service from and to Hershey Park far outweigh the limited size of the campsites. The staff was friendly and helpful, and we will definitely stay in this park for our next visit to Hershey. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an outstanding campground that is maintained to perfection. The lower full hook up sites are very close together and very tight. We stayed in the Hill Top area, site 78 and were very pleased. Large site with water, electric and cable. A bit uneven but with blocking we were able to get the motorhome level. Very spacious sites. There is a freight train that runs by quite frequently but we were far enough away that it didn't really bother us. I am sure that if you were right up against the fence the noise from the trains would be a problem. There are some very nice sites down by the river(again no sewer) that we will probably look into when we stay again and we will visit again. The free shuttle to Hershey Park runs frequently and is the way to go when visiting the park. All of the staff were very pleasant and helpful and we would highly recommend this campground if you are visiting the area. The pool was not open yet but there are two very large pools that looked well maintained. Overall this a 9+ and it will be one of our regular destinations. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had a log cabin and an extended log cabin. For the few extra dollars, the extended log cabin is a better deal. The extended is newer and seemed cleaner. It had a separate room with 2 double beds and a bunk over each one sleeping 6 people. It also had a bunk bed in the front room with a big picnic table, 2 plastic chairs a big counter top area with a refrigerator and microwave. Front porch also had a full-size picnic table. The log cabin had a smaller refrigerator, microwave, small counter area and one double bed in that area and then a separate small room(no door) with two twin beds. That cabin could've been cleaner. Cobwebs and pine needles on the one bed. Dusty corners. The bathrooms were clean first thing in the morning, but by evening, they needed refreshed for sure. Grounds were well-kept and staff friendly. Shuttle service to Hershey by bus. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.

My family went stayed here so we could go to the Hershey Park "Candylane" Christmas-time celebration. The section of the campground that we were in was pretty much full, and as has been mentioned in previous reviews, the sites are kind close in. Due to the night-time temperatures, water was turned off nightly, but the campground staff gave plenty of warning so everyone could top off their tanks. As for the activities at Hershey Park, it was awesome. Our kids are younger (4, 3, and 1), and most of the rides open during their Christmas-themed days are appropriate for that age group. We got reduced rate tickets from the campground office that saved us about 20%. The shuttle bus runs to Hershey Park about every half-hour, and was extremely reliable. The drivers were all courteous, and helped us stow our stroller. As others have mentioned, there is a train that runs nearby, but we could not hear it inside out motorhome. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

On the positive side: the park is close to all the action. On the negative side: the sites are small, even the pull-thrus were short. Could not fit a 36 foot MH with a toad, and not have the toad in the road. They claim to have WiFI access, there are three WiFi access points that showed up, when you try to access the internet. You are asked for a user name and password. But the office closed at 3:55PM and the HERSHEY RESORT I.T. guy did not know how to get access for me. They do have cable TV, which is good, since only one row in the pull thru area of the CG has a clear view of the SW sky. Very expensive for the services offered, We camped here in a Motorhome.

We liked the proximity of the park to all the attractions in the area. We thought the price was high for the tight spots, noise level, $5 daily WIFI fee, and since many amenities were closed for the season. The first night we got NO sleep with the loud freight trains ALL night long. An airport must be nearby because we also experienced some plane noise. We rushed through our tours so we could leave ASAP. The tight spots did pose a problem getting out. We had a heck of a time. We found it easier to back out of our pull-through. We did like the fact that the campground entitled us to play golf at the private Hershey Country Club. We would not stay here again because of the noise level. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground with clean facilities. A little pricey probably because of the attractions in the area. I think our rate was higher than usual because of a car show coming to the area this weekend. Lots to see and do in the area. The pull-through sites with 50 amp service are in an area with trees, so we were not able to receive a satellite signal. However, cable is provided and included in the rate. Friendly, helpful staff. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The sites in the pull thru area which I believe was called the Woodlands where so tight that most fire rings are under your awning or your mirror where over the next sites pit.(NOT SAFE). The smoke was out of control. If you like peace and quite this is not the place for you as weekends there even in the off season you are swamped with kids 4-5 per trailer.The good things are they are close to the park and they run a shuttle bus to the park,in off season it only runs when the park itself is open. The sites up on the hill are very nice but that train is right on top of them. WiFi would of been great but six bucks for the use, what next.HERSHEY SHOULD DO BETTER!!!!!Museum was great.

We have stayed here several years now and if you are going to Hershey Park multiple days you can't beat it. The frequent shuttle bus brings you to the park and back from opening till well past closing. We usually try to get a site in the Shady rest area as these are a little quieter and bigger. The campground overall is pretty well maintained although the sites are small and packed pretty close together. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Great value when visiting Hershey Park. Discount tickets, free park shuttle, and very close to park. Nice pool and camp store. Staff very friendly and accommodating. The pull thru sites are tight. Fire pits to close to rigs. This is my only complaint. Area has many things to do. Gettysburg is less than an hour, Amish Country, and Caverns just to name a few.

If you want to camp and go to Hershey-this is the place to stay. Hershey runs shuttles to the park. Campers (and hotel guests) are allowed into the park an hour earlier than the general public. This is a definite must due to the crowds. The campground itself has many shady sites (most sites have shade, except some of the tent sites). The full hook-up sites down by the main entrance are a bit close together, but the sites up on the hill are spacious. There is a nice pool and a well-stocked, but expensive camp store. The reason I gave this campground a 7-the bathrooms. They were average at best, and I would think that a huge corporation like Hershey would have nicer bathrooms (like Disney). The bathrooms could have been cleaned more often, been roomier, and more up-to-date. A side note-this was a noisy campground-people (at least when we were there) stayed up late and partied. Didn't see how people could go to the park, come back and swim, and still stay up all night drinking, but a lot of them did. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed three nights and if it wasn't for the site I was on I would of given it a 5 for an overall rating. We were in the pull thru sites last row by field (200 section) The sites are close together. I expected so much more from Hershey. The bathrooms were a mess and this was at 830am I must say I did not use them the rest of trip (mens room). The campground is not that pretty and the rivers are dried up no fishing (FYI) If you have a big rig good luck with the turns it is tight. To the good ....The staff was friendly and the noise was at a low. The campers all around were great and nice. The pool is nice as well. Had great time at the Park itself. We would go back if I could get same site or at least same row. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is beautiful they really take pride and making this campground look nice. The amenities are in the above average class the pools were nice and the locations is great. The only thing that is bad is the Train I cant tell you enough how loud this Train really is. They will warn you that they do not give refunds because of the train and you will find out your first night why they have to say that. We stayed about as far away from the train as you can get and with ear plugs you can still hear the sound like it is in the tent with you. I believe it runs every 1/2 hour and it will drive you nuts but if you can get past that they campground itself is one I would stay at again. We camped here in a Tent.

We found the sites were on top of each other and people around us were very loud. Quiet hours were not enforced, we dealt with loud unruly families until about 1:30am! The freight train was not loud at all, we really didn't hear it much. I think the only nice thing about the campground was the shuttle service but for $42 a night that wasn't much worth it either. This is one place that I will not return too. Very disappointing considering this is tied to Hershey. We camped here in a Tent.

I loved this place. We got there on Tuesday and I believe we were one of 9 campers, beautiful and quiet. Between Thursday and Friday I would say about 250 more groups showed up... they were ready and it seemed to go very smooth... great camp store, all the basics and then some, they have lots of Hershey gift items also. We had our 2 dogs with, and they had a blast, lots of area to go for walks and allow them to stretch their legs. Wish pool was open all the hotels had their pools open and it was in the 80's but they don't open it till Memorial Day. Need things to do they will help you find things to do and places to go. Would go back again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice campground. Sites are nice and everything was clean and well maintained. We were there in early May, so the pool was not open yet, but it looked nice too. The camp store has a good selection of the usual stuff, plus Hershey merchandise. There is a free shuttle bus which runs between the campground and Hershey Park every 1/2 hour which is very nice! Drops you off right at the park entrance. The only negative is that there is a train track adjacent to the campground, where freight trains run frequently. (even through the night!) It didn't bother us too much, but if you are sensitive to noise, could be a problem, especially sights near the tracks. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice campground. We have camped here for years. Be careful if you are a big rig because there is a limited amount of sites that can accomodate big rigs. Pull thru sites 211-237 are the only sites I would reccommend for big rigs; there are other sites that can accomodate big rigs without much problem. Those sites can be a bit tight if booked, but we managed fine with our 37' quad slide fifth wheel. The weather was very cold, so water had to be turned off at night. Comcast Cable worked pretty well with 68 Channels. It was nice to have The Weather Channel to keep us updated on the Winter Storm Watch. The pools look decent. There is a game room. There is plenty to do in the Hershey area no matter what season. The park has a free shuttle to Hershey park and Chocolate World that leaves frequently. This saves a lot of money on parking. We are returning next summer in August. The campground is pretty reasonable considering you're in a resort area. I would reccomend this campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park would be great if you have kids and just want a place to stay while you visit Hershey Park. The sites are small and almost all areas of this park are noisy. I have never seen so many dogs in a campground. We were in the pull through area which is right by a busy street, so we had road noise. The other end of the park has the train tracks. The only really attractive area where the sites are a little bigger, is the tenting area down by the stream. I felt like we were camping in a gravel parking lot. Luckily all our camping neighbors were friendly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We camped here in early April and it was cold! A cold snap had blown in earlier in the week and we had to rearrange our plans. We called this park to see if we could get a spot last minute and they were great! They got us checked in and filled with water (they had the water turned off due to freeze warnings, did I mention it was cold?) and on our site in great fashion. They have a wonderful little camp store where we were able to find everything we needed that we had forgotten to pack. We were surprised to find the park so full with the cold weather, but we were also surprised to find that even though they were pretty full-the showers were immaculate. Usually the more people are in a park the less clean the restrooms and showers end up. My wife used the laundry facility and found it be nice and well kept. I would highly recommend this park to anyone in the Hershey area. We will definitely stay here again when in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was our families first camping trip in our 2002 Fleetwood Bounder 36S which we just purchased several weeks ago. Not knowing what to expect at a campsite, we were pleasantly surprised by what this campground offered. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The grounds itself were well maintained and everything was clean. Security personnel were visible which was a plus. Many employees were out and about tending to the grounds. Location is perfect in regards to Hershey park. Shuttle buses were on time and drivers courteous. An overall A+ for our first outing. We plan on returning at least once a year. Great job!!

This park was well maintained and I found the staff to be very helpful and friendly. There are 3 swimming pools including a kiddie pool and all were well maintained and clean with lifeguards on duty. Great location and close to all the activities in the area. Cable tv worked very well but the wireless internet was a 5 out of 10. I had to pay for the service and about half of the time it worked extremely slow or not at all. The other negative was the train track. If you are close you will wake up multiple times during the night as the track is heavily used. That said, the staff thoroughly explained the situation when I made the reservation.

This campground is not bad if you have kids. A lot for them to do. Hershey park is right down the road and a shuttle bus will take you right to the park gate. The Staff is very friendly and the grounds were very clean. They have a garbage pick up every morning at your site. We just had to bag it up and place it at the edge of the road in front of your site.

We checked in at the 3:00pm time, and found a long line with only 2 desk clerks. No quick way to register, even though we had paid in full prior to arrival. We camped in the Woodlands section, sites are small and cramped. Our modest size travel trailer with slide filled the site, we had to park the truck across the side of the site and had to tuck the mirrors in to prevent any possible problems. Our neighbor's slide felt like it was IN our site (about 4 feet from the end of our awning). There are leafy trees, but no shrubs to block next site. Campfire pit was close to next trailer and the parked trucks so there was no pleasant farm/meadow/wooded view in the woodlands section. Would NOT stay in this section again, if we chose to return.

Fast, drop you off at the front door of park and campground. Frequent buses. Free. Nightly preview as part of ticket is key. Don't forget to ask during booking. Gives you 3/4 hours the night before to check out park and ride as many rides as you can. Park is awesome. Cheap park, cleanest I've ever seen. Awesome trip. Going back again soon.

This was our second stay at this campground and we enjoyed this trip as much as our one last year. The bathrooms were much cleaner this time around and as that was our only complaint last year, we were happy to see the change. The train noise is still loud if you are right by the tracks. We did notice it more during the day, but at night it didn't bother us, perhaps because we were exhausted by our day in the park. The shuttle bus to the park is a great benefit as are the discounted admission tickets. It was really hot during our stay and we enjoyed using the pools to cool down.

We thought Hershey Highmeadow Campground was a great place to camp with kids! We had a site in the Hilltop area that was away from the train tracks and we weren't really bothered much by the train noise. The noise was more noticeable to us during the day, but at night we were so tired from going to park that we probably slept right through it. If you are a light sleeper, or want a quiet campsite, I would definitely request a site away from the train tracks because the noise is obviously much louder the closer you are to the tracks. The only complaint that we had was that the restrooms and showers in the Hilltop area could have been cleaned more often and more thoroughly. We used the showers that are next to the offices one day and they were much cleaner than the ones closest to our campsite, so we used those ones for the rest of our stay. Also, if you want to avoid a wait for the showers, you should either shower early in the morning or in the late afternoon. The worst times seemed to be right before the park opened and right after the park closed. At these times there was always a line of 5-10 people waiting, especially for the women's showers. We enjoyed everything else about the campground. The playground equipment near our site was great entertainment for our kids. We used the pools several times and found them to be clean and we never had problems getting chairs by the pool like we have at other campgrounds. The discounts on the park tickets are great and we figure that what we saved on admission almost paid for our campsite for those days. We have already planned another trip for June 2006 and requested our same campsite! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We had a great site at the end of a row, so that we could have space for our two dogs. We did not have time to use the pools, but they looked clean, but crowded. We did hear the train, but our site was farther away, so it was not so bad. If you do go to this campground, be sure to ask for a site away from the office.

We also had to request a site change, because the first site they gave us was a joke. It didn't even have a place to park. We finally got set up in a decent site, but we really had to fight to get it. We also found the bathrooms to be dirty and the staff to be unhelpful.

There is one reason to come to this campground- to go to the park. There is a pool and game
room but other then that there is nothing to do. The roads are so steep we don't even bother loading the bikes besides we are so wore out from walking the park I don't need anything to do. The shuttle is great! The train is the pits. The multiple warning the campground gives are no exageration these trains run every 15min 24/7! The train front sites in the rear of the campground are not that bad as the tracks are a train height below the RV. but the one's in the front of the campground the RV is at train wheel elevation. We had an engine break down 20' feet from our trailer at 3am the diesel engine ran ALL night and every time the air brakes released I jumped out of bed. Nontheless I'll be back as I love the Park. Had no real problem with the staff the "kids" were cordial but in no rush to complete the registration. Bathrooms were fairly clean especially since there seemed to be a revolving door. Biggest complaint that I feel the camground has control over is that the pad sites are very unlevel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground's biggest asset is location. It is very close to all the activities in the area and has shuttle service to Hershey Park. Reasonably clean and well run. I don't think it is as bad as some indiciate, but the sites are small and the place is expensive. It does get so crowded at times that the bath houses and pools get overwhelmed. If you are looking for a basecamp in the Hershey area, this is the place. If you are looking for back-to-nature camping, this is not the place. Ask for a site as far away from the train tracks as possible. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very busy park. Reservation was for a site by the office to avoid the trains. Site was on the side of a hill. No way could I level a 30' rig on that spot. Only site available was up on top of the hill (by the train tracks). Took it as I had no choice with three kids in tow. I didn't understand why they couldn't give me the level site right across from my original - it stood empty during our entire stay. Shuttle bus is convenient and the train didn't bother us all that much, but the staff here is a joke. Bunch of kids running the place that are not well trained in customer service.

Staff was young, not terribly friendly or well-informed. Pool area looked nice but crowded. Location and shuttle buses are about all it's got going for it. Buses were a big plus, but they don't run on any schedule. When I asked about departure times, I was told "they run about every 30-45 minutes or so." We were right across the road from the infamous train tracks, but it really didn't bother us. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice campground. It has small sights, but big enough to enjoy yourself. Friendly staff and well maintained sights and campground. It does have an active freight railroad line along one edge. I did not find this to be a problem, but it could be for some folks. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a convenient place to stay if you are going to Hershey Park. The rental fee includes a free shuttle ride to the park. It has many facilities, such as swimming pools and a playground. A traintrack runs behind the camp several times a day and it is very loud. But in the camp's defense, they warned me when I made my reservations. I found the campground to be way too crowded for my taste, but that is just a personal preference. I would much rather stay in a small, friendly, family-oriented site. 300 sites is just way too much for me. We camped here in a camper.

Although this campground has "location" going for it if you are planning to spend time at Hershey Park. Location is against you as well. There are campsites so close to the railroad tracks you may as well be on the train. It is fenced off but you are literally within 25 feet of the tracks. The train runs all day and particularly at night making your camper shake. The trains run every 20 to 30 minutes and the legnths of the trains last about 10 to 15 minutes long. A real ear opener. They should close off those sites , they are hardly restfull. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Nice clean park. Cabins were good but no A/C which was a necessity when hot. Good selection of sites. Shuttle takes you to Hershey park. Gameroom and general store small. Large pool. The only drawback were the trains going by at night (campground next to tracks) very annoying. Closest campground to Hershey Park and outlet stores. We camped here in a camper.
