Comments:

This campground sits up on a hill and the view of the farm valley is beautiful. The stargazing at night is great.

We were there during the week and towards the end of the season so it was quiet. I can't write about planned activities, but I know they normally have them during the weekend. While the location of this campground was about 10 mins from anything (groceries, gas, etc), we'd go back in a heartbeat.

We actually stumbled upon this campground after a AWFUL experience at the Jonestown KOA and I couldn't believe that there were no reviews on this place. Of course this campground could be a different story during weekends or particularly busy times, but for a mid-week trip, relatively close to Hershey, it absolutely could not be beat
