Area Attractions

The entire Hershey area is rich in history and tradition and packed with thrills for kids (and squirrels) of all ages. Me and my forest buddies love it here! Visit Hershey's Chocoloate World and learn how they make your favorite candy bar. Browse the huge Hershey's souvenir store, watch a 3-D movie or visit the interactive, hands-on Factory Works. Try the Trolley Tour, it's great! Concerts at the Giant Center and Star Pavilion provide top notch entertainment. Visit all of my North American friends at the Zoo America, right next door to HersheyPark! Don't forget the many special events around here like the Hershey RV Show and the AACA Car Meet. The Elizabethtown/Hershey KOA is your quiet, family campground for all your Hershey needs.

A quick drive puts you in the middle of the slow lane. In the Pennsylvania Dutch Country, horses and buggies are a way of life. Visit the many towns that dot the area and see the rich craftsmanship that abounds. Taste the famous PA Dutch cooking and have a big bite of Shoofly Pie. Visit the Pennsylvania Railroad Museum and climb thru, on and under history in beautiful Strasburg. Take the little ones to Dutch Wonderland and take a stroll thru one of the many farmers markets throughout the week. Catch a show at the Sight and Sound Millenium Theatre or check the time at the National Watch and Clock Museum. There's never a dull moment in Lancaster County!

Marvel at the making of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle or learn how they make your favorite potato chip or paper products in the Factory Tour Capital, York, PA! Head to Gettysburg and walk on hallowed ground. Envision the history of our country and live it at a re-enactment. Take a ghost tour or head off to something softer, like Boyd's Bear Country. Still want more information on the Civil War? Visit the National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg. While you're there, take a walk on City Island and take in a game or a boat ride down the Suquehanna. Want something a little more wild? Try the Lake Tobias Wildlife Park.

   
Just a little bit further away, but worth the effort!

Visit these areas and attractions while leaving your camper here. No hassles of packing up, towing and setting back up again. Think of all the gas you can save! Tour a real coal mine in the mountains of Pennsylvania. Philadelphia and Baltimore are just an hour and fifteen minutes away. Continue your historic tour of our beautiful country in Philadelphia at the National Constitution Center or visit beautiful Longwood Gardens. Baltimore's Inner Harbor and the National Aquarium are a fantastic day trip. Top it off with some fresh Chesapeake crabs (mmmmm, even us squirrels love seafood). Our Nation's Capitol is about 2 hours away Try a bus trip or take the train to New York City or Atlantic City. It really amazes me listening to all the stories I hear around the campfire about all the neat places you people have visited while camping at Elizabethtown/Hershey KOA.
