Campgrounds near Shiremanstown
Shiremanstown sits in Cumberland County just west of Harrisburg, putting RV travelers within a short drive of both private RV parks and Pennsylvania state park campgrounds. The area serves as a practical base for visiting Hershey, Gettysburg, Lancaster County, and the Susquehanna River corridor, with interstates 81 and 83 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike all converging nearby.
Harrisburg East Campground is a close full-hookup private option on the east side of the capital. For state park camping, Gifford Pinchot State Park lies south in York County and provides one of the commonwealth's largest campgrounds with 289 sites spread along the southern shore of a scenic 340-acre lake. Additional private options include King's Campground and Walmar Manor Campground.
Farther north along the Susquehanna, Camp Hebron is a Christian camp and conference center located in Halifax, PA, nestled along the Appalachian Trail just north of Harrisburg on 340 acres of wooded sanctuary. Together these campgrounds cover the range from urban-convenient RV parks to quieter, tree-shaded sites within an hour of Shiremanstown.

Day-trip options are dense. Hersheypark, the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex, and downtown Harrisburg sit within a short drive, and the Gettysburg and Lancaster historic areas are roughly 45 minutes away.

Central Pennsylvania has a humid continental climate with a clear camping season. Gifford Pinchot State Park's campground is open for the season mid-April through late October, and Camp Hebron's campground is open from mid-April to mid-October. Sites fill quickly during summer weekends, particularly those with lake views, so booking well in advance is important.
Spring brings variable weather, damp ground, and steady rainfall, but also quieter campgrounds and cool nights well suited to shoulder-season trips. Summer is warm and humid, with afternoon thunderstorms common; families should plan around heat and mosquitoes near lakes and wetlands. Fall foliage across the York and Cumberland County ridges typically peaks in mid to late October, overlapping with the last weeks of the state park camping season.
Winter shifts most camping to the private RV parks that stay open year-round. Snow, ice, and freezing overnight temperatures are routine from December through February, so full winter rigs and proper hose insulation are needed.

Sandy5 trips - Joined Feb 2026 - Superhost
Sandy went above and beyond. Leading up to the rental dates she was in communication, making sure we were on the same page. I opted for delivery rather than pickup, and she made sure the rv was delivered early so we could fully enjoy the rental dates. We had a normal issue w the AC (the unit froze) but she was very communicative and helpful until the problem was solved (she suggested to turn it to fan in case the unit was frozen, and it quickly thawed). Always very sweet and courteous, always responsive. My four year old son loved the trailer, was very upset to understand that we had to give it back 😂. Thanks, Sandy!
