Booked for 4th of July because no one else had availability. We should've stayed 4 nights but left after two. We had site 109 for our 33ft camper was so tight and zero privacy with your neighbors sewer hookup at your door and cabins staring at your picnic table at the rear. We apologized to our neighbors when we were leaving while they set up their breakfast and we dumped our tanks. If they widened sites it could be a decent place to stay because it seemed updated. We went to mountain creek 16 minutes down the road and enjoyed a W/E site with room to move. read more

We go to this campground every year usually after Labor Day. We enjoy going there relaxing and enjoying the outdoors. They have new owners and they are making lots of updates/upgrades. read more

Stayed here a few times on weekends. There is lots for my grandkids to do. The pool is always nice and the kids love the playground and put put golf . I never heard of frisby golf but people were playing it. It appears new owners have taken over so there have been a few upgrades . The arcade has new games . Every building has been throughly cleaned and landscaping has been updated. There is a nice general store with a wide array of various products. There is also an ice cream parlor which is nice when it's hot out. All and all this is a nice place to stay read more

We took a chance and decided to make plans to camp for two nights so we could get some hiking in nearby at the Pine Grove Furnace State Park. You're greeted by a sign on the front office door that says "Masks are optional," so that tells you all you need to know about camping here during the COVID-19 crisis. Check-in is easy enough and you are given a card to hang on your mirror that has a barcode to scan to get access to the campground. Then you drive to your site. The signs/directions posted are...not very helpful, and you can easily find yourself face-to-face with someone driving a golf cart from the opposite direction or kids running around through the road, so be very careful. We picked a tent site (218 or 219) as far away from everyone else as we could get. A bunch of the tent sites border the woods, and I definitely recommend snagging one of those if you're able. The tent and RV sites are absolutely crammed together. We started setting up our tent and were somewhat pleased with the amount of space we had from a big family in the next site because we could all enjoy our respective spaces without getting in each other's way. Then another car pulled up and signaled that there was ANOTHER site between us. There wasn't even 10ft between our tents; you could hear everything. The RV/camper sites looked even more snug, so I can't imagine trying to maneuver there. Our tent site was one of the flatter and less rocky ones that I could see. Each site is provided with a fire ring (more like a fire pit/contained cauldron) and picnic table, which was great. I will say that from what we saw, the grounds are kept very clean. The bath house near the tent site is cleaned daily, however not always at the posted hours so I would say to assume it is half an hour before the posted time. There are 2 showers and toilet stalls in each bathroom. Here is where we were the most unhappy about masks being optional: not a single other person that we saw over 3 days was wearing a mask while in the enclosed bathrooms. There are hand dryers, so particles are flying all over the place. There was a concert that ended while I was showering and it was a line of people to get in and the dryers were constantly blasting; I basically held our breath while I was in there. Speaking of the concert, in addition to almost nobody wearing masks whether they were indoors or in close quarters while outdoors, Deer Run hosts concerts and events on weekend nights at a stage. Once again zero masks and zero social distancing. We saw people from separate campsites standing close together and talking. With an uptick in COVID cases in the surrounding counties, this was especially unsettling. The campgrounds are clean and easy to find off of the main roads. However, if you're looking for a place to stay outside during the COVID-19 situation, look elsewhere. read more

Campground location was nice and secluded in the mountains. Sites are extremely close together, beware if you have slide outs. Also leads to cars being parked randomly in the way and in front of sites that they don't belong to. Plenty of activities and amenities for the children. Way too many adults arguing, not sure over what, quit day drinking and be civilized. Fairly close to Hershey, Carlisle, and Gettysburg so day trips were plentiful. read more

I give Deer Run Campground 5 stars! My family and I love coming here to camp! We've been to Deer Run meny times. We love coming here because its close to home. They have themed weekends with lots of fun activities for kids and adults. The campground is very clean and the staff are extremely nice. We went camping over Halloween weekend. The campground was decorated for Halloween and fall. They had a pumpkin carving contest, and trick or treating for the kids in the afternoon. They also had a haunted trail thst you could go through. It was excellent! They did a marvelous job with the haunted trail! Our kids came out screaming and scared! We made wonderful memories! read more

We had a spot near the game room which has no door and is SO loud until 11:00PM. The sites are SO small and close together you can barely find a spot for your fire pit. Overall wasn't impressed with the size of the sites and how it was run. Will not be back. read more

The owners seemed very nice and accommodating. The kids in the office however, need a little lesson on CS. Would have been nice to be given a schedule of weekend activities when we checked in. Seems lots of weekend activities - if that is what you like to do. Road to the campground was very narrow and windy. Very scary. Sites for transients were very hard to figure out. Pool is nice and big and clean. Had to pay for wifi and it NEVER worked. When told at the office they said it was because the park was full. (So why make us pay for something that isn't working?). Great proximity to the Battlefield. Seems like a good mix of visiting history and having activities in the park too. read more

Great place to camp! The prices are very good, lots to do. Swimming pool and a small pond to fish in. Fire wood is cheap and plentiful. The staff is very nice. Free showers and hot water. On site coin operated laundry and game room. read more

Large park nestled among the trees. Lots of activities. Nice playgrounds, a small fishing pond, game rooms. We were here over Memorial Day, so it was a busy weekend and the park was packed. It was pretty tight maneuvering in the park, but there was enough room and trees are strategically out of the way. Sites are very close to each other and generally unlevel. Noisy during the day but surprisingly quiet at night given the number of sites and closeness. Small camp store with basics and good ice cream. We visited Gettysburg from here. It may be "twenty minutes to the battlefield" as they advertise, but it took us 40 minutes to the visitor center and points south of town. We would probably opt for a different campground next time. read more

We stayed here with a group of 11 in multiple sites. The kids had a great time on the playground and learned a new game "Gagaball". The sites were very close together, which was fine during the week but as the holiday approached the place filled to the max. They also let people come into their sites at all hours so one person maneuvered a camper in at 2am and another the next night at 3am. We saw a large snake and put it back into the woods and were told by the grounds keeper that we should not have done this, the only kind of good snake is a dead one he just cuts their head off with a shovel. There was also not a place to fill water for people in tents in near the site they put us with electric only. read more

The best thing about this place is a host named Ray. I watched Ray help old people set up in the pouring rain. What a Guy! If you have the truckers GPS , follow it!!!! Your phone navigation will take you down the skinniest of country roads. Most of the sites are not level, tons of rock gravel make walking difficult for older folks and pets. 90% of the park are locals that leave their trailers over the summer. Difficult to navigate any class A or trailer over 35' . The pool wasn't open but imagine it's full of kids all summer. Thankfully it's a good ways away for the noise sake. Ok in a pinch and but if your older without children looking for a peaceful atmosphere probably not for you. I've noticed almost everyone struggle to navigate between trees and power post try to get to a spot where they can open both the slides and awning. Bring blocks even if you have auto levelers as your tires will be lifted off the ground without them. Lastly, some weekends have live music. I haven't experience that yet, it may be fun to sit in a chair and listen but I hope it's not too loud or thump thump thump stuff. 1) not easy to set up here, 2) skinny roads getting here 3) some sites you choose between awning or slides 4) if your large , look elsewhere read more

Great atmosphere until the owners let their 13 year old be the head of security.. We were considering a permenant site until this happened.

Tent sites are horrendous and at the bottom of a hill, so guess where all the RV run off goes during rain. All the sites are small and packed in, the whole complex is tiny compared to other places. Also, the whole place smells like sewage... gross. The two stars is due to the nice playground and clean facilities. read more

We spent several years seasonal at Deer Run Camping Resort. The sites are extremely small you are right on top of your neighbors you can smell sewage. the new owners know that 80% of the trees at the campground need taken down because of termites and other infestations however the owners refuse to do so. Our last year seasonal we had a tree fall down while we were out side on our truck. The owners of the campground didn't even check on us to see that we were ok. This happened on a Saturday at approx. 9pm Sunday at noon they still hadn't removed the tree so we could leave. When we asked if we could use the wood from the fallen tree we were told NO. We ended up paying the deductible for the repair ourselves. The water in the campground is no good. I wouldn't recommend hooking up to the camper it will clog your faucets in the camper. Owners have favorite's at the campground they do not treat your kids kind at all. They will however allow your 5 yr old to charge $80.00 in the camp store to your account. They allowed my daughter to get kites fake poop and candy totaling over $80.00 with out even calling. They will also allow you to put $ on your camp account and they miss posting it to your account and send nasty emails saying you owe money when you don't. Felt like I was seasonal at a Jerry Springer hosted trailer park. Spent $4000.00 a year to live like this. My electric bills where higher than my house electric bills and we only stayed at the campground on the weekends. Do your self a favor and spend your money else where. This place is a waste of time and $. If you do chose to go make sure you count your money every time you go to the camp store. read more
