Five Best Campgrounds Near the Hershey RV Show

Written by Derek Cunningham | August 17, 2018

The Hershey RV Show (September 12-16, 2018) is one of the best places to find incredible deals on a new RV. It is the largest show in the country and every major manufacturer will be there.

RVers travel across the country to shop at this once-a-year camper bonanza and there are plenty of campgrounds near the park to stay. After the show, you can enjoy exploring the beautiful Pennsylvania Dutch Country, riding roller coasters at Hersheypark and learning about our country’s history at Gettysburg National Military Park.

As you make your show plans, check out these campgrounds within 20 miles of the show.
