Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Harrisburg, PA Area Suggestions

Looking for recommendations to stay for a while in June/July time frame in the Harrisburg, PA area.

In mid June we will be in the Harrisburg, PA area.  Long story, but short version is we will be doing the RV Driving School in Carlisle after picking up our new Arctic Fox in West Milton, PA.  For the first two weeks to make things simple for us we are going to be staying in "family oriented" & "more expensive" campgrounds.  However, shortly after the driving school it seems to make sense for us to setup for a long term stay (a month or more) in this general area.  There is a lot to do in this area that matches our interests, so now would be the time to stay here.  At this time, I am not including running down to the Shenandoah area. I am thinking a more "quiet" and "natural" setting would be a good fit for us and our budget.  Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Dave

I have used a somee of the websites you would normally use as reference, but really haven't found anything. If anybody has a specific park/campground that is more nature than family/party park I would really like to hear about it. Most likely this is going to be a commitment a bit longer than I would prefer, but non the less something that must be done this year.

We have stayed at AOK in Jonestown. The monthly rates are reasonable and open all year. However, not a fancy park by any means. And the sites you would be put during winter months are close together. Jonestown is about 25 miles east of Harrisburg. There is also a KOA in Lickdale not far the there. Have not stayed there but looks to be nice.

We have not stayed there personally, but some RV friends of ours did for several months while he was working in the area. Try Starlite Camping Resort http://starlitecampingresort.com/index.html. It is in Stevens, PA, only about 40 miles from Harrisburg.

Thanks for the additional suggestions. The AOK in Jonestown does appear to have a good monthly rate. Will be checking that one and the Starlite resort out. I really appreciate it!
