Campgrounds near Hanover, Pennsylvania
Hanover sits in southern York County, Pennsylvania, within easy reach of state park camping, private RV resorts, and the Gettysburg battlefield area. The closest public option is Codorus State Park, a 3,500-acre park in the rolling hills of southern York County anchored by the 1,275-acre Lake Marburg with 26 miles of shoreline. The park campground offers modern campsites with electric, full-hookup, non-electric, tent-only, and pet-friendly options, plus glamping sites, camping cottages, and a yurt.
Private RV parks fill in the rest of the map. Gettysburg Farm RV Campground lies a short drive west toward Dover, while Drummer Boy Camping Resort offers 95 acres of wooded campgrounds and cabins in Gettysburg with over 400 sites for seasonal and short-term rental, plus cabins, cottages, and lofts. Cedar Lake Resort and Campground Island round out the nearby choices for renters who want lake access or a quieter setting.
Most RV renters use Hanover as a base for battlefield touring, lake recreation on Lake Marburg, and day trips to Lancaster, Hershey, and Baltimore.
Things to do near Hanover
The dominant draw is Gettysburg National Military Park, minutes from town, with its museum, visitor center, auto tour, and ranger programs. Drummer Boy Camping Resort is just minutes from historic downtown Gettysburg, where guests can explore battlefield tours, ghost walks, local shops, museums, and dining.
Outdoor time centers on Lake Marburg at Codorus State Park. The 1,275-acre lake is popular with sail and motor boaters, and anglers work the lake for warmwater species and Codorus Creek for trout. Picnicking, swimming in the pool, disc golfing, and camping are also popular activities in the park.
Families staying at private resorts also get on-site amenities: kids enjoy playgrounds and arcades, everyone uses the seasonal pool with waterslide, and on-site restaurant and snack bar options handle mealtimes at Drummer Boy.

The Hanover camping season leans heavily on the warm months. Codorus State Park is open every day of the year, sunrise to sunset, but its pool, overnight areas, and boat rentals run only through the warm season. Peak demand runs Memorial Day through Labor Day, with battlefield-anniversary weekends in late June and early July filling private parks weeks in advance.
Private resorts operate on shorter calendars. Drummer Boy Camping Resort is closed between November 18 and March 31, with its seasonal pool opening in late May and closing in early September. Cedar Lake Resort, Campground Island, and Gettysburg Farm RV Campground generally follow a spring-through-fall pattern, so renters planning shoulder-season trips should confirm open dates before booking.
Fall brings cooler nights, foliage in the York County hills, and lower occupancy at state park sites. Winter camping is possible at Codorus in limited loops, but most private RV parks near Hanover are shuttered until spring.

Daniel was a fantastic host that came in the clutch for us when another host unexpectedly cancelled on us. The camper was exactly what was advertised, pricing was awesome, clean, and communication was on point! I would recommend Daniel and his camper to anyone looking to rent for their next adventure!
Daniel B. - Oct 2025
This RV was as advertised. It was setup at our campsite when we arrived at Camp Swatara. I would say Daniel is a great host.

How to book a site
State-park sites at Codorus use Pennsylvania's DCNR reservation system on ReserveAmerica. Reservations can be made online or by calling toll-free 888-PA-PARKS (888-727-2757), from 7:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., Monday to Saturday. Reservations must be made 3 days ahead of arrival and can be made up to 11 months in advance, so summer weekends should be locked in early.
Glamping at Codorus books separately. DCNR has partnered with Timberline Glamping to bring eight glamping sites to Codorus State Park in a mix of two layouts that accommodate 4 to 6 guests, booked through Timberline Glamping directly.
Private parks such as Gettysburg Farm RV Campground, Cedar Lake Resort, Campground Island, and Drummer Boy Camping Resort take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. Battlefield-anniversary weekends and July 4 sell out first.
What to expect on arrival
Codorus State Park's campground has a modest footprint but full services. Site types include electric, full-hookup, non-electric, tent-only, and pet-friendly loops, and the campground also has a sanitary dump station, camp store, and firewood and ice sales. Loops sit in mixed hardwoods a short drive from the lake and pool.
Private resorts skew toward family amenities. Expect pull-through and back-in RV sites, WiFi hotspots in common areas, laundry, and organized weekend activities in season. Drummer Boy provides four complimentary hotspots at Lincoln Hall, the arcade, activity pool, and pavilion, with WiFi available at the site for a fee.
Roads into all these parks handle Class A, Class C, and travel trailers without issue. Cell coverage is generally reliable across York and Adams counties, and Hanover itself has full grocery, fuel, and RV-supply options within a short drive of every campground on this list.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Hanover, PA
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Hanover, PA?
RV rental in Hanover, PA is reasonably priced compared to most East Coast hubs. Expect motorhomes to average roughly $175-$250 a night and towable travel trailers around $90-$140 a night, with many hosts offering weekly or monthly discounts. To find a cheap RV rental in Hanover, search midweek dates, target shoulder months like late April or October, and filter by travel trailers if you have a tow vehicle. Pro tip: booking three to four months ahead of summer weekends locks in the best rates before Gettysburg event pricing kicks in.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Hanover%2C%20PennsylvaniaWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Hanover, Pennsylvania?
Good news: for almost every RV rental in Hanover, PA, your regular driver's license is all you need. Pennsylvania only requires a non-commercial Class B license when a motorhome exceeds 26,001 pounds Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), and the vast majority of Class B campervans, Class C motorhomes, and travel trailers on RVezy fall well under that limit. To be an approved driver on RVezy you'll generally need to be at least 25 years old, and your ID is verified securely through the platform during checkout. Visiting from abroad? Pick up an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home auto association before you travel.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs my RV rental in Hanover covered if something goes wrong?
Yes, every booking on RVezy automatically includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can pull out of Hanover with real peace of mind. The protection plan covers most damages to the vehicle and gives renters significant financial protection. During checkout you choose between different protection tiers depending on how much coverage you want, the guest selects, not the host. Whether you're heading to Codorus State Park or rolling toward Gettysburg, you're backed up the whole way. Pro tip: snap photos at pickup as part of your walkthrough for a smooth return.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Hanover RV rental?
You can book your Hanover RV trip with confidence. RVezy sets the cancellation policy across the platform (not individual hosts), and there's a money-back grace period right after booking so you're not locked in the moment you reserve. Refund eligibility after the grace period depends on how far out from your trip start date you cancel. If a host cancels, RVezy refunds the guest or provides travel credits. Always review the cancellation details at checkout, and reach out to RVezy support if plans change, they're available before, during, and after your trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Hanover RV trip?
Absolutely, pet-friendly RV rental in Hanover is easy to find, just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy and you'll see listings where dogs (and sometimes cats) are welcome. Once you're on the road, Codorus State Park has a designated pet camping loop and a pet swimming area at Black Rock day-use, and the Heritage Rail Trail running from Hanover Junction toward York is leash-friendly with shaded miles for tail-wagging walks. Snyder-Lance and Utz factory grounds aren't pet-accessible, so plan crate or shaded-RV time during those tours. Message the host before booking to confirm size and breed details.
pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/where-to-go/state-parks/find-a-park/codorus-state-park/stayCan the RV be delivered right to my campsite in Hanover?
Yes, RV delivery in Hanover is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-timers. Many local hosts will tow or drive the RV directly to Codorus State Park, Gettysburg Battlefield Resort, Drummer Boy Camping Resort, or even a private driveway, then level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system. That means zero highway driving on your end, which is a huge win if you're nervous about handling a 30-foot rig through downtown Hanover or along the winding stretches of PA-116. Filter by Delivery on the search page and message hosts for exact delivery-fee quotes.
pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/where-to-go/state-parks/find-a-park/codorus-state-parkHow far can I travel on a Hanover RV trip with the included mileage?
Hanover sits in a sweet spot for RV road trips, you're 19 miles from Gettysburg, about 55 miles from Harrisburg, 60 miles from Baltimore, MD, and roughly 90 miles from Washington, DC, so even a modest mileage allowance covers a lot of ground. Most hosts include a set number of free miles per night (often 100-150) with reasonable per-mile fees beyond that, and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, perfect for longer hauls toward the Poconos (about 3 hours northeast) or Shenandoah National Park (about 2.5 hours south). Check the listing's mileage policy and ask the host about discounted bulk-mile add-ons.
pa.gov/agencies/penndot.htmlWhere are the best campgrounds near Hanover, PA?
You're spoiled for choice on RV camping near Hanover. Codorus State Park (about 8 miles east) is the local favorite, with around 198 campsites along 1,275-acre Lake Marburg, electric hookups, hot showers, and a dump station. Gettysburg Campground, Gettysburg / Battlefield KOA Holiday, and Drummer Boy Camping Resort (all about 20 minutes west in Gettysburg) bring resort-style pools and Civil War history to your doorstep. Artillery Ridge Campground offers horseback tours of the battlefield. Pro tip: book Codorus as early as possible for summer weekends, prime sites fill quickly.
pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/where-to-go/state-parks/find-a-park/codorus-state-park.htmlWhen is the best time of year to rent an RV in Hanover, PA?
Late April through October is the prime window for a Hanover RV trip, with the absolute sweet spots being May (highs around 71°F), June (78°F), September (75°F), and October (63°F with stunning fall foliage across the Pigeon Hills). July and August bring warm, humid days near 84°F, great for swimming at Codorus's pool but worth running the AC on shore power. Pennsylvania state park campgrounds at Codorus, Gifford Pinchot, and Caledonia typically open the second Friday in April and close November 1. Insider move: come the weekend before Halloween, when the Friends of Codorus decorate camping loops for trick-or-treating.
pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/where-to-go/state-parks/find-a-park/codorus-state-parkI've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay driving one around Hanover?
You've got this, first time renting an RV in Hanover is more approachable than you'd think. Every host gives a hands-on orientation at pickup covering driving, leveling, propane, water, and waste systems, and they stay reachable by phone throughout your trip. The roads around Hanover are mostly gentle rolling farmland on PA-94, PA-116, and US-30, with very few tight mountain switchbacks, an ideal place to build confidence. If you'd rather skip the driving entirely, book a host who offers delivery and setup. Pro tip: do a slow lap around an empty parking lot (the Hanover Mall area works great) before heading out on US-30.
pa.gov/agencies/penndot.htmlWhat if my RV breaks down during my trip near Hanover?
You're never on your own. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so a flat tire on US-30 outside Gettysburg or a battery issue at Codorus State Park is just a phone call away. The service covers things like tire changes, jump-starts, lockouts, and towing to the nearest qualified service center. Hanover is also conveniently surrounded by RV service shops in York (about 20 minutes) and Frederick, MD (about 40 minutes) if anything needs deeper repair. Pro tip: save the roadside assistance number to your phone before pickup and snap a photo of the RV's VIN sticker, you'll be back on the road faster.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionWhat are the best road trip routes from Hanover by RV?
An RV road trip from Hanover opens up some of the East Coast's most iconic miles. Head 19 miles west to Gettysburg National Military Park for an overnight loop, push 90 miles south to Washington, DC's RV-friendly Cherry Hill Park in College Park, MD, or drive 2.5 hours southwest to Shenandoah National Park's Skyline Drive. The Pennsylvania Dutch Country around Lancaster is just 45 miles east, and the Atlantic beaches at Rehoboth, DE sit about 3.5 hours away. Cross-border travel into Maryland and Virginia is fully covered, just confirm with your host. Travel to Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals.
nps.gov/gett/index.htmWhat kind of fuel mileage should I budget for my Hanover RV trip?
Budgeting fuel for your RV rental in Pennsylvania is straightforward once you know the rough numbers: Class B campervans typically get 18-22 MPG, Class C motorhomes average 8-12 MPG, and big Class A rigs come in around 6-10 MPG. Pennsylvania gas prices tend to run slightly above the national average due to state fuel taxes, so plan on roughly $3.30-$3.70 per gallon (check GasBuddy day-of). Truck stops on US-30 and I-83 around York are the easiest fill-ups for larger rigs with diesel pumps. Pro tip: top off in Maryland on cross-border runs to Baltimore, fuel is often $0.20-$0.40 cheaper per gallon.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Hanover?
For peak summer weekends, book your campground as soon as you lock in your RV, ideally 6 to 11 months out. Pennsylvania State Parks like Codorus and Gifford Pinchot open reservations up to 11 months in advance, and the most popular waterfront sites at Lake Marburg disappear within minutes for July 4 and Labor Day. Private parks like Gettysburg / Battlefield KOA and Drummer Boy fill 3-4 months ahead for summer. Off-season (April, May, October), you can often grab a site a week out. Pro tip: set a calendar reminder for exactly 11 months before your target date and book the moment the window opens.
pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/where-to-go/state-parks/reserve-a-campsite-or-facility.htmlWhat are the local driving conditions like around Hanover?
Driving an RV around Hanover is refreshingly low-stress, this is rolling farmland and small-town highways, not white-knuckle mountain passes. Expect tractor traffic on rural routes during spring planting and fall harvest, occasional one-lane covered bridges (avoid PA-216's Sauble's Bridge with anything over 9 feet tall), and rush-hour slowdowns on US-30 between Hanover and York. Winter brings ice and snow from December through early March, so cold-weather trips need careful weather monitoring. The infamous Pennsylvania potholes appear after freeze-thaw cycles in late winter. Pro tip: use Pennsylvania 511 for real-time road conditions and avoid downtown Hanover Square in larger rigs, take the bypass on PA-94.
511pa.com/What amenities should I expect at campgrounds near Hanover?
Most campgrounds near Hanover offer a comfortable mix of hookups and amenities. Codorus State Park has electric campsites, potable water, hot showers, flush toilets, a dump station, and a swimming pool nearby on Lake Marburg. Gettysburg-area private parks like KOA and Drummer Boy add WiFi, laundry, pools, and propane refills. For dumping between trips, Codorus's dump station is open to registered campers, and many private parks allow paid dumping for non-guests. Pro tip: bring a 25-foot drinking-water hose and a surge protector, older pedestals can have voltage swings.
pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/where-to-go/state-parks/find-a-park/codorus-state-park.htmlWhat's inside a typical RV rental in Hanover?
Your Hanover motorhome rental or travel trailer typically comes ready-to-camp with real beds (queen or king in most Class C and travel trailer floor plans), a full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and sink, a bathroom with toilet and shower, roof AC, furnace heat, and seatbelted seating for travel. Many listings include a generator for boondocking, a TV with antenna or streaming setup, and a few even offer onboard WiFi or hotspot add-ons. Campervan rental in Hanover (Class B) keeps it compact with a 2-burner stove, small fridge, and convertible bed. Check each listing's amenity list and message the host about specific gear like coffee makers or outdoor chairs.
pa.gov/agencies/penndot.htmlWhat add-ons and pickup options can I expect when I rent an RV in Hanover, PA?
Hanover hosts offer some genuinely useful add-ons to customize your trip: bike racks, kayak carriers, camp chairs and tables, generators, bedding and linen kits, kitchen packages, and propane fire pits typically run $10-$50 each. Pickup is usually at the host's home base in Hanover, York, or Gettysburg, with delivery available for an extra fee based on distance. Mileage policies vary, some hosts include 100-150 free miles per night, others offer unlimited mileage on specific rigs, so compare carefully. Pro tip: bundling a generator plus kayak rack is the magic combo for boondocking at Michaux State Forest or paddling Lake Marburg at sunrise.
pa.gov/agencies/dcnr/recreation/where-to-go/state-parks/find-a-park/codorus-state-parkHow does payment and the security deposit work when I rent an RV in Hanover?
Payment on RVezy is simple and secure. You pay through the platform with a credit card at booking (no cash handoffs with hosts), and your trip total is clearly itemized including nightly rate, cleaning, mileage allowance, and any add-ons. A refundable security deposit is held separately from your booking payment before your trip starts, and it's released back to your card after a smooth return with no damage or excess mileage. Pro tip: do a thorough joint walk-around with photos at pickup and drop-off, it's the best way to ensure your full deposit comes back quickly.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I take a winter RV trip from Hanover, PA?
Yes, winter RVing around Hanover is an underrated adventure, you'll have campgrounds nearly to yourself and the snowy ridgelines of Michaux State Forest look spectacular. Codorus State Park stays open year-round for day use and offers ice fishing, sledding, and cross-country skiing on Lake Marburg when it freezes. For overnight stays, look for RVezy listings with heated tanks, enclosed underbellies, and reliable furnaces, and book a campground with full hookups so you can run continuous shore power. Filter for four-season RVs and message the host about cold-weather prep. Pro tip: keep a small space heater as backup and pack RV antifreeze for the gray tank.
