Jonestown / Hershey NE KOA Journey
Relax, unwind, recharge at Jonestown/Hershey KOA, a great stopover for the traveler but also convenient for your next family vacation in the Hershey area.
Looking for a quiet, convenient location to relax after a long day on the road? Or a base camp for sightseeing in the Hershey area? Jonestown/Hershey NE KOA fits the bill!
Jonestown/Hershey NE KOA is OPEN YEAR ROUND with full service accommodations for RVers and only a mile off I-78 or I-81. We're only 25 minutes northeast of all Hershey has to offer!
Our campground is truly big rig friendly with long, level pull-through full hook-up sites, some as long as 100', which can accommodate RVs of any size, as well as tents. Under a canopy of leaves, our sites are nestled along the Swatara Creek, where you may enjoy fishing, swimming or splashing in a canoe, kayak or tube rental from the campground. Nature's tranquil beauty abounds in the adjacent Swatara State Park where you can enjoy the many miles of hiking and biking or discover Fort Indiantown Gap which is the home of PA National Guard and the National Cemetery. You could also day trip to Lancaster's Amish Country, Gettysburg, Cabela's or Knoebel's Grove Amusement Park.
Our General Store offers a small menu of hot food, salads and sandwiches (which can be delivered to your campsite), groceries, live bait, RV supplies, adult beverages and delicious ice cream all year!
So pack your gear & camp with us. We look forward to your visit… anytime, any season, all year long!

Great spot right off RT 81 and our sites 52 and 23 for the return trip offered plenty of room. Friendly staff, great kitchen for your dining or snack meals as well. Don't forget the ice cream! Great looking playground for the kids too. Their Halloween spooky ride was outstanding. All those who work there went out of their way to make you feel comfortable and at home. Renovations are constantly being done too. If we head down that way again, we will be sure to stop here.

Excellent, pretty, CG by a nice small river fot tubing or kayaking or fishing. Excellent food available onsite with to your site delivery. Extremely friendly people. Easy access from I-81. Very fair pricing. Gravel sites with metal fire rings. We had 50 amp service. We will visit here again soon.

Ideal location for those RVers driving on I81 who need a place to honker down for the night since it's just a few minutes from the freeway Stayed here during the off season and its a nice place to get away for peace and quiet. The general store has most of your necessities, there are a few trails right behind the campground and the river along the back makes it very pleasant for strolls. The bathhouse can use renovation since there are a few holes in the plastic shower and they're the smallest upright shower stall I have ever seen. Toilet stalls are also extremely small; if you're a big guy you may not fit. The water pressure can be improved but the heat was more than perfect. The dog park is a great amenity but the staff has to do a better job of enforcing the pick up poop rules. I saw some of the actual poopers who don't pick up after their dogs are the actual long term seasonal staff. Shame.

This is a lovely, peaceful, and well cared for campground. The splash pad is a lot of fun, the camp store has a nice cafe and ice cream, and the bathrooms are clean. Location is excellent for a variety of activities - tubing on the creek (it was low but still usable when we visited in August), Hershey is 20 minutes away, and you can connect to the Appalachian trail via a nice rail trail that runs through the campground. We had a beautiful view from our creekside site. The only downside is that there is some road noise, but it didn't bother us in our camper - if you're using a tent, I would stay toward the back of the campground, away from the road.

Stayed one night to and from Orlando. Excellent access from highway. Both nights were quiet and relaxing. Great check-in staff. The "premium" patio site needs some work as this is not close to other KOA's "premium" sites. Nice large mature trees. Kids loved the splash pad and park. The park does require some maintenance as it was clearly lacking. Overall we were happy here but price was high based on site conditions.
