Camping with us this fall? Check out our guide to a sweet fall stay at Hersheypark Camping Resort. 

Located here in Hershey, Pa., just down the road from Hersheypark, this year-round campground is home to more than 300 open and shaded sites across 55 acres of emerald hills. With 50 cabins as well as full hook-up sites with electric, water, sewer and cable; partial hook-up sites with electric, water, and cable; and no hook-up tent sites; the campground offers something for everyone.

While our cabins and RV sites make for cozy accommodations, there’s something special about pitching a tent along the creek and enjoying Pennsylvania nature. In honor of National Camping Month this June, we’ve put together some tent camping tips to help you plan for a sweet visit.

1. Choose a sweet site

For tent campers, Hersheypark Camping Resort offers both primitive camping sites with no hook-ups and partial hook-up sites that feature electric, water and cable. Both come equipped with a fire ring for s’mores and a picnic table for family dinners. But when choosing the perfect site for your group, please be aware that most of the partial hook-up sites are on gravel, so we recommend packing accordingly (see tip #2). Additional campground amenities include free WiFi, restroom and shower facilities, self-service laundry, and a store that sells firewood, s’mores supplies, coffee, sweet souvenirs and more.

View our campground map to help you choose the perfect site.

2. Bring a sleeping pad and tarp

A sleeping pad and tarp should be at the top of your packing list. When pitching your tent, be sure to place your tarp underneath to help protect your tent from gravel and keep the bottom of your tent dry from moisture. A sleeping pad will also help make for a more comfortable sleep.

3. Make campfire-friendly meals in advance

Before you arrive, make campfire-friendly meals in advance to help make both packing and meal time at camp a little bit easier. For example, shaking up eggs and putting them in a bottle is easier than bringing a carton of eggs that could easily break in transit.

4. Wash your dishes at the outdoor sinks

Hersheypark Camping Resort kindly asks that guests refrain from washing dishes at their site. Instead, campers are encouraged to use the outdoor sinks at the bath houses located in each campground section to wash their dishes and cooking supplies.

5. Be prepared for the weather and the outdoors

Check the weather forecast before your visit and make sure you’re prepared for time spent outdoors with bug spray, sunscreen and rain gear. Select items and camping supplies can be found at the Country Store, located in Historic Landis Barn.

6. Download CampersAPP

Campers are encouraged to download CampersAPP to stay up-to-date with campground information and alerts. The app also includes augmented reality games, a campground map and more. The login key is HPCRMoose. 

7. Check out the campground activities schedule 

To help plan a sweet day, we recommend checking out our activities schedule and saving some time to enjoy campground recreation. A number of recreational facilities are available for campers, including outdoor swimming pools (open through Labor Day), playgrounds, an indoor game room, community s’mores area, shuffleboard, and basketball and volleyball courts. Campers are asked to supply their own sports equipment. Additionally, on select dates, the campground offers family-friendly activities ranging from Critter Connections (an educational animal program) to comedy magic shows with Mr. Sneakers. View our upcoming activities schedule here.

8. Enjoy our FREE Resort Benefits 

If you're planning a visit to Hersheypark during your stay, be sure to take advantage of all of the perks that come with being a guest of Hersheypark Camping Resort! All campers receive the below FREE Resort Benefits:

9. Pack a camp chair to lounge in

Don’t forget to bring a camp chair! When you’re not busy riding the day away at Hersheypark, making splashes in the pool, playing on the playgrounds or enjoying other campground recreation and activities, make some time to relax in your camp chair and take in the beauty of the outdoors.

10. Share your photos!

While you’re camping with us, be sure to take plenty of photos of the sweet memories you create and share them with us on social using #HersheyPA on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!

Here are five must-do activities to make your Hersheypark Camping Resort stay even sweeter.

Summer crafts, activities and entertainment

From lawn games to face painting to take-home crafts, glitter tattoos, and more, the Hersheypark Camping Resort recreation team has a great lineup of activities to entertain guests this summer. Make sure to stop by the Recreation Center and make a craft that you can take home to remember your trip or play some games outside the Stone House. A complete schedule of activities can be found online, via CampersApp (use HPCRMoose to log in), or at Historic Landis Barn.

Outdoor Movie Nights

There's nothing better than a movie night under the stars! Grab a spot in the grass at the Hersheypark Camping Resort Starlight Theater at  Historic Landis Barn for outdoor movie nights at 8:30 p.m. every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday through Labor Day. In the event of rain, movies are moved to the Recreation Center.

Animal encounters from ZooAmerica

Guests love when the campground invites their friends from ZooAmerica North American Wildlife Park to visit. Stop by the patio outside the registration office on Sundays at 6 p.m. this summer for "Paws, Claws, Scales & Tails" and encounter North American wildlife up close!

Pool and playground fun

Make sure to pack a swimsuit to cool off in the campground's two swimming pools and kiddie pool! Pool hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. through early August and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. from early August through Labor Day. The campground also has several nearby playgrounds with swings, slides, climbing structures and more.

Games and recreation

The more you play, the more you will want to keep playing to improve your score and win bragging rights over your friends and family.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

ZooAmerica

Geminis are known for being incredibly curious and having a deep love of pets and animals, so it is clear that ZooAmerica, the 11-acre wildlife park created to showcase North American animals, is the one for you. With more than 200 species, it is the perfect attraction for Geminis who find themselves excited by a vast array of different things but tend to lose interest quickly. Which animal will be your favorite to learn about? Probably all of them.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

The Boardwalk At Hersheypark

As a prominent water-sign, what would a Cancer find more enticing than The Boardwalk At Hersheypark - a one-million-gallon water park? Since most Cancers are known for being home-bodies and overly cautious, it’s helpful to know that guests can completely customize their experience. The water park has a wide range of options, from relaxing in the Intercoastal Waterway (the Park’s 1,360-foot lazy river) to trying Breakers Edge Water Coaster for the more adventurous.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

Hershey Theatre

As the most theatrical, expressive, and vivacious sign in the astrological world, it is only fitting that Leos visit where all of the drama happens in The Sweetest Place On Earth.

It offers up to six touring Broadway shows per season, as well as a variety of classical music and dance attractions. Anything you choose to see will surely make your Leo-heart sing!

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

The Hershey Story Museum

Virgos are always on a quest for greater knowledge, and there is truly no better place to learn more about Milton Hershey’s legacy than The Hershey Story Museum. Your great listening skills and analytical mind will come in handy when exposed to the informative exhibits and interactive experiences that can be found right in downtown Hershey. Learning more about Hershey’s humble beginnings and seeing the town's growth will amaze you, making this a must-see attraction for any inquisitive Virgos out there.

Libra (September 23-October 22)

MeltSpa by Hershey

Libras, represented by the symbol of the scale, value having a strong balance in their lives. MeltSpa by Hershey has a vast array of exclusive Hershey’s Dark Chocolate treatments, salon offerings, and sweet ways to treat yourself. Whether you had a tough week at the office, are exhausted from having too much fun at Hersheypark or just want to de-stress, MeltSpa is the ideal place for you to recharge and re-find the inner peace that any Libra seeks.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

Falconry Experience at The Hotel Hershey

The Falconry Experience is like nothing else you have ever experienced.

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

Hershey Gardens
