Cute camp. Very small though. Their have a trolley stop into town at the camp which is very convenient. We parked the RV at the city hall trolley stop (ample parking) because we arrived early in the AM before we could check into the site. We took the blue line into town and it all worked out. At the end of the day the trolley took us back to city hall stop and we were just a mile from the campsite. Pool was tiny and not even worth the swim. Otherwise very relaxing.

Nice grounds, very spacious. waterfall was beautiful. You can rent a tube (10 dollars per person per day) or bring your own. We did not do it cause we got in late, but it looked nice. Its a pretty short ride. Evening events were fun, they and music playing and sold all kids of fair type food (cotton candy, funnel cake etc). Kids loved the several playgrounds which were large. Overall it was a great experience. We did not stay for breakfast but they did sell food in the am as well. Only complaint is that they are really difficult to get ahold of. They direct you to their website where you are supposed to submit your reservation request. No one called to confirm. I called 4 more times (during regular business hours) to try to get a confirmation that they had my reservation. I finally got a call back and they said their website hasn't been working in months. I was nervous because of their lack of communication, but once we got there it was all fine.

Great stop on our trip. Nice and refreshing to go underground. Its an hour (just over a mile) guided tour through the caverns. The guide takes groups of about 40 people together and stops about 10 times or so to explain what you are looking at. Don't need the little phone info gadget as the tour guide tells you the exact same information. Certainly worth it. Not nearly as cold as everyone else said. we brought jackets thinking it was 50-60 degrees but it was fine, shorts ok.

Hersheypark campground was a great stop for anyone going to Hershey park/Chocolate world. The campground was clean and easy to access. Especially useful was the free shuttle to and from the parks (which are only a mile away from this campground). It was so easy to come back midday to eat/rest and then go back to park in the evening for more fun. Laundry facility clean and accessible. Pool large. Store great. Definitely great savings to purchase park tix at campground ($44 dollars instead of $62 for adult tix). Kids LOVED the parks, couldn't believe how much their is to do in these parks (our kids are 4,6,8 and this was perfect for them). As far as chocolate world, I would skip the 4D movie and chocolate tasting, but the make your own chocolate and trolley rides were a blast. Really great experience overall all. Only thing is that their is a train track right next to the site so if you are a light sleeper ask for a site as far from the tracks as possible cause train runs throughout the night and early morning.

So we didn't actually stay at this KOA, we ended up stopping in Gettysburg along the way on our trip. Its a MUST SEE. I had no idea this existed and the monuments and preservation of Gettysburg is amazing. We rented bikes at the visitors centers and rode through the battlefield. It was a great way to see the area. highly recommended.

Great location and probably one of our favorite stops on our vacation. Its a bit of a hike to get to the island itself. We came in from the south (because of the recommendation in the listing that the Tredegar st entrance had limited parking). We were able to find parking easily for our 31 ft RV with lots of street parking around 21 and 22 st. Great hike, interesting stops along the way, and great natural pools to cool off in after the hiking. Kids loved it. Pack a lunch!

This was our first time here. If you are looking for a quiet place to stay, this is not your site. Very crowded, lots of actions, tons of golf carts zipping by. Don't pay the extra for 'beachfront' site because none of them are actually on the beach (its just a short walk from any of the sites). Kids loved the huge pools and lazy river. They also had food trucks and lots of snacks for sale. If you want to go where the action is, you've found it. If you are looking for serenity and calm, not the place.

Nice campground. Lots of things for kids to do, with playground and games. Very friendly complementary breakfast in the morning with choice of pancakes or waffles, with complementary OJ/coffee. Overall great experience
