Campground Review – Codorus State Park, Hanover Pennsylvania

The Codorus State Park in South Central Pennsylvania is a 3400 acre state park that surrounds Lake Marburg which covers 1275 acres and has 26 miles of shoreline.  The camping at Codorus consists of 190 sites with about an equal amount split between wooded and open field sites.  Like most state parks in PA, most of the sites have electric, but none have water.  There is water available throughout the campground for filling your RV tanks or other portable containers.

The sites are large and they are easy to back into with a travel trailer.  The lake offers great boating, kayaking, and fishing.  The park offers rentals.  The park also has a swimming pool which is open to the public and is often quite busy. There are numerous hiking trails and the park rangers offer great “teaching”, fun activities for the children.

Campground Review – Lickdale Campground, Jonestown Pennsylvania

The Lickdale Campground is just off of Interstate 81 on Route 72 just North of the Harrisburg/Hershey area.  This is a small but comfortable campground right along the Swatara Creek which offers great kayaking and tubing options.

Lickdale Campground has nice wooded sites, a great camp store, and nice facilities.  The camp store is also home to an ice cream shop, both of which are popular with the locals.

There is a good bit of traffic noise, especially at the sites along Route 72.  The campground is only a couple hundred yards off of the Interstate and is set at a traffic light, so traffic is heavy and, from personal experience, it seems that on Friday nights the local teenagers like to race away from the light.  I would ask for a site set further back into the campground and not near the front.

Just Camp On rating:  3 out of 5 Stars!
