hershey rv show

Finally tried to make reservations at Hershey Highmeadow for the RV show and they are booked. Anybody have reccomendations for another campground close to the show? Thanks.
  • Twin Grove

    Lickdale Campground

    We go to Twin Grove, it's a nice campground. I've never been to Lickdale but, I'm told it is nice. Lickdale is a little closer to Hershey. They're about 22 miles from the Hershey RV Show.
  • Twin Grove is a good place to stay,, but do not get a site off to the right when you first pull in. Get a spot straight in the very back. The sights off to the right has zero shade... we were there last year and cooked....
  • The Elizabethtown KOA is about 10 min out of Hershey, if proximity is your biggest concern. I drive by it frequently but have never stayed there so I can't speak to its condition. I agree with the others Twin Grove is quite nice but your looking at a 30-35 min drive from Hershey. Another option is the Thousand Trails Hershey which is pretty nice. Its about 15 min from Hershey.
  • Depending on how long and the reason you are there, you can stay right on the grounds - dry camping - it was $25/night a couple years back when we did it. Worked for us, since we just wanted to spend a day at the show. One note - if the wind is right, there is a very, shall we say, distinct smell, that I would guess originates from some type of wastewater treatment facility in the area! ST
  • We used the KOA a few years ago. No problems with the stay. We now make our Hershey reservations a year in advance to get a site at Highmeadow.
  • Forgot, dry camping was $25 last year also. Had some friends stay there.
  • We went to the show last year and stayed in the Thousan Trails Hershey park which is only about 10-15 minutes away from the park. It was a nice park and believe it or not, was not that busy during that timeframe. We plan to stay again this year.
