Huge pull-through sites, most with full hook-ups, lots of trees, just a mile off the freeway. The camp store has a snack bar with hot food, groceries, and RV supplies, an ice cream shop, and all the usual KOA amenities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratandfox.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/9EFFF224-4880-4A53-B462-CADFDD29A8BA_1_105_c.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ratandfox.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/9EFFF224-4880-4A53-B462-CADFDD29A8BA_1_105_c.jpeg\" alt=\"Creek seen through trees with a railroad brodge across it.\" class=\"wp-image-1126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ratandfox.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/9EFFF224-4880-4A53-B462-CADFDD29A8BA_1_105_c.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ratandfox.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/9EFFF224-4880-4A53-B462-CADFDD29A8BA_1_105_c-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.ratandfox.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/9EFFF224-4880-4A53-B462-CADFDD29A8BA_1_105_c-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Swatara Creek<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The campground was along Swatara Creek, and it was lovely to be able to walk right next to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I used my trailer&#8217;s hot water for the first time on the trip \u2014 the weather had been so hot up until then that I never needed hot water. But it was finally cool enough that I wanted hot water for washing up. Was pleased to see that the hot water worked. I never did use the furnace, so had no idea about it, but the air conditioner got a good workout!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next day I drove to my new home in New York! and my 17-day cross country move was over. It all went amazingly well, considering I&#8217;d never pulled a trailer before, and I was glad it had worked out so I could make my move on the road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jonestown\/Hershey NE KOA Journey11 Lickdale RdJonestown, PA 17038717-865-6411 August 15, 2021 Arrived at the KOA at around 4 PM, after a long-ish drive that included some rain and some heavy traffic but was mostly okay.
