This campground is in a quiet rural area, and in close proximity to Strasburg Railroad. As previously mentioned there are alot of seasonal sites, but they are in their own section. We had a nice view, which we enjoyed. Their store is very nice. They had a bluegrass jam session on saturday that was entertaining. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Our site was extremely small, and not level by any stretch of the imagination. All of the wooded sites were the same: very small and uneven. There are a lot of seasonals, and they are not very well kept. The store has a nice variety of merchandise and the bath house is clean, although small and older. The playground is not much more than a backyard set up. This is not a destination campground. What makes this campground is that it is so close to all of the Lancaster County attractions. If you're looking for an inexpensive place to park your rig and tour around Lancaster County this is a good place. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Like the some of the others reported, this is an ok campground with a very nice staff. The campground lacks a pool, which is nice in the hot summer, but is located in a quiet country setting away from the main highways. However, this also means that getting there on some winding back roads is not as easy as just pulling into a campground along Route 30 etc. Some sites are not very level, but others are level enough. Very pleasant staff. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
Nice quiet campground close to all attractions in Lancaster and Strasburg. Enjoyed our stay. Campground does have a great deal of seasonal campers which some are in need of being cleaned up. Roads are narrow and a little difficult to maneuver around. Camp store has everything you might need plus a few items. We will visit again! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
White Oak Campground is an ok campground. Nothing inherently bad about it, but nothing particularly great either. It is secluded & quiet. Most sites have shade from trees. Not alot to do at the campground. There are 2 small basic playgrounds for kids and a small arcade. On Saturday nights, they do have an acoustic jam session in a room adjacent to the camp store. (Country/bluegrass/gospel) Campers are welcome to join in, so if you're a musician or like this type of music, could be fun. (I personally did not go) My biggest negative is that the bath house is not heated. We were there on an unseasonably cold weekend in mid-April, so it was not pleasant. Strasburg & neighboring towns do have lots to do, but don't expect to find much right at the campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Overall a nice campground. Friendly staff. Nice Country Store. The Amish even visited to sell goods. I did notice that many of the shaded sites were occupied by seasonal campers. There is also a large open field for sunny sites. It was very challenging to maneuver our fifth wheel through tight access roads and into a small site. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a nice campground set in the back country around Strasburg. The campground has paved roads. Sites can be grouped in a shady area and a sunny area. The shady sites are set with a gravel base with grass surrounding. The sunny sites are all grass, many in an open field. We had a site in the shady section with full hookups. The roads in the shady section are narrow and maneuvering is tight. Many sites were taken by seasonal campers and many of those campers are quite old. The campground itselfs was well maintained. Very few people were there during mid-week. The campground has an office with a rather well stocked store, a couple of playgrounds and a bathhouse. The bathhouse was clean and well kept. There is no swimming pool. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Overall a nice little campground. It is on a back road, which we thought would mean peace and quiet at night. However, in the middle of our first night, there were cars out on the road burning rubber and racing up and down. They had nothing to do with the campground, but our site was close to the road leading in. The 2nd night, my husband was woken up by motorcycles coming in. The staff was very nice and friendly. The sites are VERY close together (in OUR opinion). There are a lot of seasonal sites, maybe a little more than half. We were in between two seasonal sites. There are sites out in the open, and a lot under trees. It's close to Lancaster and charges a lot less than the places in Lancaster do. The shower stall was not clean enough for me, but then again, I am very picky about that. We would probably stay there again since the staff and the people camping (seasonal included) were all very nice. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Beautiful rural Amish Country setting, friendly staff and campers, easy access to all of the Pennsylvania Dutch attractions in the Lancaster area. We camped here in a camper.
