Campgrounds near Palmyra, Pennsylvania
Palmyra sits in Lebanon County, minutes from Hershey and within easy reach of Lancaster County's Pennsylvania Dutch Country. The area is one of central Pennsylvania's busiest RV corridors, driven by Hersheypark, ZooAmerica, and the region's outlet shopping and Amish attractions. Most campgrounds within a short drive are privately owned resorts oriented toward families with children.
Hersheypark Camping Resort is located a few miles from Hersheypark amusement park and offers log and deluxe cabins, tent sites, and partial and full-hookup RV sites, along with swimming pools, an indoor game room, and playgrounds. Hershey RV and Camping Resort sits on 200 acres of rolling farmland with over 100 campsites ranging from rustic tent spots to large full-hookup RV sites, plus cabin rentals and a small fishing lake. Hershey Road Campground is a family and pet-oriented resort about 15 minutes from downtown Hershey.
Pinch Pond Family Campground sits in the foothills of northern Lancaster County near Manheim, halfway between Hershey and Pennsylvania Dutch Country, and has been family-owned for over 40 years. Jonestown / Hershey NE KOA Journey is open year-round with full-service RV accommodations, just off I-78 and I-81 about 25 minutes northeast of Hershey, and offers long, level pull-through full-hookup sites.
Things to do near Palmyra
Hersheypark anchors the area, with more than 65 rides including over a dozen roller coasters, water attractions, kiddie rides, live entertainment, and ZooAmerica. Chocolate World, Hershey Arena, Hershey Stadium, and the Giant Center sit in the same complex, and ZooAmerica is open daily with animals native to North America.
Outside Hershey, families head into Lancaster County for Amish farm country, the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire in Manheim, and Indian Echo Caverns, a limestone cave system with underground pools and passageways cut through ancient bedrock.
For outdoor time, Swatara Creek near the Jonestown KOA supports fishing, swimming, and paddling, and the adjacent Swatara State Park offers miles of hiking and biking trails. Cornwall Iron Furnace and Mount Gretna are also within a short drive.

Camping demand near Palmyra tracks the Hersheypark calendar. Peak season runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day, when the amusement park operates daily and family sites near Hershey fill weeks or months out. Summer weekends and holiday periods book the earliest, and campground pools generally open by late May and run through Labor Day, weather permitting.
Shoulder seasons bring cooler weather and fewer crowds. Spring and fall are strong choices for touring Amish country and the outlets, though on-site pools may be closed and some seasonal amenities scaled back. Hersheypark Christmas Candylane runs on select dates in late November through early January, drawing a smaller wave of holiday campers.
Winter brings reduced services rather than full closures across the private resorts. At several parks, RV site water is shut off during hard freezes and restored in spring, while heated bathhouses and select year-round cabins remain available. RV site water is generally reliable from mid-April through late October. The Jonestown KOA is the notable year-round option for full RV service in colder months.

How to book campgrounds near Palmyra
Private resorts in the Hershey area take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. Summer weekends, holiday weeks, and Hersheypark event dates should be booked well in advance, and many families reserve months ahead for peak July and August. Guests are encouraged to add Hersheypark tickets to their reservation in advance to receive the best price, and the Jonestown KOA offers shuttle service to Hersheypark with discounted admission available through the office.
For public land alternatives, Pennsylvania's state park system uses a single reservation platform. Most campsites in Pennsylvania state parks can be reserved 11 months in advance to noon of the day of arrival, either online or by calling 888-PA-PARKS. Campers may stay up to 14 consecutive nights from Memorial Day to Labor Day, up to 21 consecutive nights during the remainder of the year, and must vacate and remove all equipment for 48 hours between reservations.
What to expect on the ground
Expect resort-style campgrounds oriented toward families with kids, not remote wilderness. Pools, playgrounds, game rooms, camp stores, and organized weekend activities are standard. Sites typically include a picnic table and fire ring, and RV sites at most parks offer water, electric, and sewer hookups, with WiFi, restrooms and showers, self-service laundry, and a store selling firewood and basic supplies.
Road noise is a common trade-off for the area's convenient interstate access. Pinch Pond sits next to the PA Turnpike, and a sportsman's club on the other side of the campground can be heard during daytime hours. The Jonestown KOA sits between two major highways, and military helicopters from the nearby Fort Indiantown Gap training area fly overhead at times.
One practical rule to plan around: Pennsylvania restricts the movement of firewood to slow the spread of forest pests, including emerald ash borer and Asian longhorned beetle, so buy firewood locally at the campground store.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Palmyra, PA
How much does an RV rental in Palmyra, PA typically cost?
RV rental in Palmyra, PA is more affordable than you might expect, especially compared to traditional Hersheypark hotels. On RVezy, travel trailers start around $90 to $150 per night, Class C motorhomes range from $175 to $275 per night, and larger Class A motorhomes run $250 to $400 per night. Because Palmyra sits right next to Hershey and Lebanon, weekend rates spike during summer Hersheypark season and the Pennsylvania National Horse Show. For a cheap RV rental in Palmyra, aim for midweek pickups in late April, May, or October, when temperatures still hit the 60s and 70s. Pro tip: booking a 5+ night trip often unlocks a weekly discount set by the host.
visithersheyharrisburg.org/What license do I need to rent an RV in Palmyra, PA?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Palmyra, PA. Pennsylvania does not require a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or special RV endorsement for any motorhome or travel trailer available on RVezy, even Class A coaches up to 45 feet. You'll just need to be 25 or older, upload a clear photo of your license during booking, and complete RVezy's quick ID verification. Visiting from outside the U.S.? Bring your home license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your local auto club. That's the whole list, no PennDOT paperwork, no road test, no surprises at pickup.
dmv.pa.gov/Driver-Services/Driver-Licensing/Pages/default.aspxIs protection or insurance included with my Palmyra RV rental?
Yes, every RV rental in Palmyra, PA booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you are covered from the moment you pull out of the driveway. The protection plan helps cover physical damage to the RV, giving you real peace of mind on your trip through Lancaster County or up to the Poconos. During checkout you choose from tiered protection options based on the level of coverage and deductible you want, this is selected by you, not the host. Pro tip: if you are a first-time RV renter, the higher-tier plan is worth it for the lower deductible and added confidence.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionWhat is the cancellation policy if my Palmyra trip plans change?
Booking an RV in Palmyra is lower risk than you might think. RVezy, not the individual host, sets the cancellation policy for every reservation, and it includes a grace period after booking where you can cancel for a full refund. Refund amounts after that depend on how far out you are from your trip start date. You will see the exact terms at checkout before you confirm. Pro tip: book early to lock in the best Hersheypark-weekend RVs, knowing the grace period gives you breathing room to adjust your plans.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Palmyra RV rental?
Absolutely, a pet-friendly RV rental in Palmyra is easy to find on RVezy. Toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on the search page and you will see motorhomes and travel trailers whose owners welcome dogs. Many hosts charge a small pet cleaning fee, which is shown upfront on the listing. Once you are parked, your pup will love nearby spots like Memorial Lake State Park's leashed trails and the Lebanon Valley Rail Trail running right through Palmyra. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm pet details and mention your dog's size, it speeds approval and avoids any pickup-day surprises.
dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/FindAPark/MemorialLakeStatePark/Pages/default.aspxCan the RV be delivered to my campground or Hersheypark hotel area?
Yes, RV delivery in Palmyra is one of the most popular options on RVezy, and it's a game-changer if it's your first time renting an RV. Many local hosts will drive the motorhome to your campground, set up the slides, level it, connect water and electric, and walk you through every system before handing you the keys. Popular delivery destinations include Hersheypark Camping Resort just 10 minutes away, Lickdale Campground near I-81, and Jonestown KOA. Delivery fees are typically based on round-trip mileage from the host's location. Pro tip: filter by Delivery on the listing search, then message the host with your exact campground site number to get a quick quote.
visitpa.com/region/dutch-country-roadsHow far can I drive on a Palmyra RV trip, and is unlimited mileage available?
You've got plenty of range for a Palmyra RV trip. Hosts on RVezy set their own mileage policies, and many offer 100 to 150 free miles per night, with some listings offering RV rental with unlimited mileage, perfect for longer Pennsylvania loops. To put that in perspective from Palmyra: Gettysburg is about 55 miles, Lancaster Amish Country is 30 miles, the Pocono Mountains are 90 miles, Pittsburgh is 200 miles, and Niagara Falls is around 330 miles. Extra miles, if you exceed the cap, are typically $0.30 to $0.50 each. Pro tip: estimate your full round-trip route before booking and filter for unlimited-mileage listings if you're planning a big loop.
penndot.pa.gov/TravelInPA/Pages/default.aspxWhere are the best campgrounds near Palmyra, PA?
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to RV camping in Palmyra. Top picks within 20 minutes include Hersheypark Camping Resort (full hookups, shuttle to the park), Hersheywoods Campground in Elizabethtown (quiet, family-run, big-rig friendly), Lickdale Campground at I-81 Exit 90 (pool, easy interstate access), Jonestown / Hershey KOA (cabins, splash pad), and Memorial Lake State Park in Grantville for a more natural setting. Each offers 30/50-amp electric and dump stations on site. Pro tip: for Hersheypark weekends in June through August, reserve your campground site at least 2 to 3 months in advance, and ask your RVezy host to deliver right to your site so you skip the towing learning curve entirely.
dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/FindAPark/Pages/default.aspxWhen is the best time to take an RV trip from Palmyra?
Late April through mid-October is prime RV season in Palmyra, PA. Spring (April to May) brings highs in the 60s and 70s and blooming countryside, summer (June to August) peaks in the low 80s with humid afternoons (perfect for Hersheypark and lake days), and fall (mid-September through October) is the sleeper hit: crisp 60s, fewer crowds, and stunning foliage across the Pennsylvania ridge-and-valley landscape. Winters get cold, often dipping into the 20s with snow, but adventurous renters can still find four-season-ready rigs on RVezy. Pro tip: book the last two weeks of September or first two weeks of October for foliage season, mild driving weather, and noticeably lower nightly rates.
visitpa.com/seasonsI've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay driving one around Palmyra?
You'll be just fine, first time renting an RV in Palmyra is genuinely beginner-friendly. The roads around town (US-422, PA-117, and the Lebanon Valley) are flat, well-maintained, and far less stressful than navigating Philly or NYC. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on walkthrough at pickup covering driving tips, the propane system, slide-outs, leveling, and dumping. If you'd rather skip driving altogether, book a delivery listing and the RV will be set up and waiting at your campground. Pro tip: choose a Class C motorhome or a smaller travel trailer (20 to 25 feet) for your first trip, they handle like a big van and fit easily into any Hersheypark-area campsite.
penndot.pa.gov/TravelInPA/Safety/Pages/default.aspxWhat happens if I have a breakdown or issue during my Palmyra RV trip?
You are never on your own. Every RV rental in Palmyra, PA booked through RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, covering flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, towing, and mechanical issues. You also have direct messaging with your host (who knows their rig better than anyone) and access to RVezy customer support before, during, and after your trip. Pro tip: save the roadside number to your phone before you leave Palmyra, and snap photos of the propane tank, generator, and tire pressure stickers during your walkthrough so any call goes quickly.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat are the best RV road trips from Palmyra, PA?
Palmyra is a fantastic launchpad for an RV road trip. Top routes from Palmyra include Gettysburg National Military Park (55 miles, about 1 hour) for Civil War history, Lancaster Amish Country (30 miles, 40 minutes) for covered bridges and farm markets, the Pocono Mountains (90 miles, under 2 hours) for lakes and hiking, Washington D.C. (130 miles, 2.5 hours) for the National Mall, and Niagara Falls (330 miles, around 6 hours) for a bigger adventure. Most RVezy hosts allow interstate travel across all U.S. states. Pro tip: cross-border trips into Canada may be allowed with host approval and additional documentation, but Mexico travel is not covered, message your host early if Canada is on your wish list.
nps.gov/gett/index.htmHow much should I budget for fuel on a Palmyra RV trip?
Fuel is the biggest variable on any motorhome rental in Palmyra, so it helps to plan ahead. Class B campervans typically get 18 to 22 MPG, Class C motorhomes 8 to 12 MPG, Class A coaches 6 to 10 MPG, and tow vehicles pulling a travel trailer usually drop to 9 to 13 MPG. Pennsylvania gas prices tend to run slightly above the national average due to state fuel taxes, so on a 300-mile loop in a Class C you can expect roughly $90 to $130 in fuel. Pro tip: the Sheetz and Rutter's stations along US-422 in Palmyra and Lebanon have RV-friendly pull-through pumps and competitive prices, much easier than squeezing into a smaller city station.
revenue.pa.gov/TaxTypes/Fuel/Pages/default.aspxHow far in advance should I book campgrounds near Palmyra?
For peak Hersheypark season (Memorial Day through Labor Day), book campgrounds 3 to 4 months ahead, especially Hersheypark Camping Resort, which fills up fast on weekends. Pennsylvania state parks like Memorial Lake and Gifford Pinchot use the ReserveAmerica system and open bookings up to 11 months in advance. Private parks like Lickdale Campground and Jonestown KOA take direct online reservations. Shoulder seasons (April, May, September, October) are much more relaxed, you can often book 2 to 3 weeks out. Pro tip: midweek arrivals (Sunday through Wednesday) at Hersheypark-area campgrounds are dramatically easier to score and often $15 to $25 per night cheaper than Friday or Saturday nights.
dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/Reservations/Pages/default.aspxWhat are driving conditions like around Palmyra, PA?
Driving an RV around Palmyra is refreshingly easy. The town sits in the gently rolling Lebanon Valley between Harrisburg and Reading, with wide rural highways like US-422, PA-934, and PA-117 that handle big rigs comfortably. I-81 and I-78 are nearby for longer hauls. Things to know: watch for low-clearance covered bridges in Lancaster County (always under 10 feet), Amish horse-and-buggy traffic on rural roads, and occasional summer thunderstorms that bring heavy rain in July and August. Winter snow and ice are common from December to February. Pro tip: stick to numbered state routes and interstates when towing a fifth wheel, your GPS may try to route you through narrow farm lanes that aren't RV-friendly.
511pa.com/What amenities do campgrounds near Palmyra typically offer?
Campgrounds near Palmyra are well-equipped for any size rig. Most full-service parks like Hersheypark Camping Resort, Lickdale Campground, and Jonestown KOA offer 30/50-amp electric, city water, sewer hookups, dump stations, free Wi-Fi (sometimes spotty), pools, laundry, and propane refill on-site. Pennsylvania state parks like Memorial Lake offer electric-only sites with shared dump stations and potable water fills near the entrance. If you're staying somewhere without sewer hookups, the nearest public dump stations are at Hersheypark Camping Resort and the Flying J in Carlisle. Pro tip: always confirm your site's amp service when booking, older Class A motorhomes need 50-amp and won't run both AC units on a 30-amp site during a hot July afternoon.
dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/WhatToDo/Camping/Pages/default.aspxWhat is included inside a typical RV rental in Palmyra?
Your Palmyra RV rental is essentially a home on wheels. Most motorhome and travel trailer listings on RVezy include a full kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave, sink), a bathroom with toilet and shower, sleeping for 4 to 8 people, climate control (AC and furnace), seatbelted seating for travel, and an outdoor awning. Many hosts also include linens, kitchenware, camp chairs, and a generator for off-grid power. Pro tip: each RVezy listing has a full amenities checklist, so if you want a dedicated bunkhouse for the kids or an outdoor kitchen for tailgating before a Hershey Bears game, just filter and you will find it.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Palmyra%2C%20PennsylvaniaWhat add-ons and pickup options are available for Palmyra RV rentals?
Hosts in Palmyra offer plenty of useful add-ons to customize your trip. Common extras include delivery and setup, generator use beyond included hours, bike racks, kayaks, propane refills, linen and kitchen kits, portable grills, and tow packages. Pickup is usually at the host's home in Palmyra, Lebanon, Hershey, or Hummelstown, with a 30 to 60 minute walkthrough included. Mileage policies typically range from 100 free miles per night to fully unlimited. Pro tip: bundle delivery, setup, and a linen kit for your first trip, you will show up to a fully stocked Hersheypark Camping Resort site with nothing to do but light the campfire.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Palmyra%2C%20PennsylvaniaHow does payment and the security deposit work for a Palmyra RV rental?
Payment is simple and fully handled through RVezy, no cash or e-transfers to the host. You pay your rental total (nightly rate, protection plan, taxes, fees, and any add-ons) securely at booking with a credit or debit card. A separate refundable security deposit is pre-authorized on your card before pickup and released after the host confirms the RV came back in good shape. Pro tip: at pickup in Palmyra, do a thorough walk-around with your host and take date-stamped photos and a short video of the exterior, interior, tires, and any existing scratches, it is the easiest way to ensure your full deposit comes right back.
