Ridge Rider Campground

28 RV Sites, 44 Tent Sites

Ridge Rider Campground in Little Orleans, Maryland, offers 27 RV sites and 44 tent sites across 222 acres in the Potomac's ridge-and-valley country, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet.

Twenty-seven sites span back-in full hookup, back-in water-and-electric, and pull-thru categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. Forty-four tent sites make this predominantly a tent property.

One policy to know: outside firewood is not permitted, but firewood is available at the camp store — a standard measure against invasive pests.

Cedar Lake Resort

On 76 acres of York County farmland north of the town of Dover in the Pennsylvania Dutch Country corridor, Cedar Lake Resort offers 195 campsites around a seven-acre fishing lake—a family-oriented campground that has built its reputation on the combination of lakeside setting, a family petting zoo, a swimming pool, planned weekly activities, and proximity to Gettysburg National Military Park and the Pennsylvania Dutch Country attractions that make York County one of central Pennsylvania's most rewarding camping destinations. The campground's full hookup sites, electric and water sites, tent camping, and cabin accommodations serve the full accommodation spectrum for families, couples, and history enthusiasts who make York County a camping destination rather than simply a corridor stop. One hundred ninety-five sites include full hookup options, electric and water sites, and tent-only sites spread across the 76-acre grounds, with each site featuring a picnic table and fire ring on level, stoned pads with easy access. A beautiful inground pool, a fully stocked 7-acre fishing lake, snack bar, game room, laundromat, LP gas, and a recreation hall serving as the hub for weekly planned activities provide the resort-level infrastructure for guests who want more from a campground than utilities and a level pad. The family petting zoo—a particular draw for younger campers—adds the agricultural touchstone that suits the Pennsylvania Dutch Country landscape surrounding the campground. The 7-acre lake at the campground's center provides a managed freshwater fishing environment stocked with species that make a fishing lake attractive across age ranges, giving young anglers the realistic expectation of success that builds lasting fishing enthusiasm. Swimming is available on the lake alongside the inground pool, giving the campground two distinct aquatic recreation options for warm summer days. The surrounding York County agricultural landscape provides the visual character of the Pennsylvania farm country that has been the backbone of central Pennsylvania's economic and cultural identity since the first German and Swiss settlers arrived in the late 17th century. Gettysburg National Military Park, about 35 miles west, preserves the three-day July 1863 battle that constitutes the largest land battle ever fought in North America—a 6,000-acre battlefield of ridges, fields, orchards, and monuments that requires multiple days to explore fully and rewards each visit with new tactical and human detail. The Pennsylvania Dutch Country's network of farmers markets, antique galleries, and farm-stand produce along the US Route 30 corridor between York and Lancaster provides the agricultural and culinary tourism that defines central Pennsylvania's leisure identity, and the York County Heritage Trust's network of museums in downtown York interprets the county's role in colonial and Revolutionary American history, including its brief service as the Continental Congress's meeting place in 1777-1778. York County's four-season climate makes Cedar Lake Resort functional from spring through fall with the typical Memorial Day through Labor Day peak season and shoulder season availability on both sides. Spring brings Pennsylvania countryside wildflowers and the green return to the campground's wooded areas, while fall's deciduous color peaks in October and provides the most spectacular visual backdrop for fishing on the seven-acre lake and evening campfires. The proximity to Gettysburg's reenactment season and the York Fair—one of the oldest agricultural fairs in the United States, held each September—gives autumn camping at Cedar Lake an appeal that extends well beyond the natural season.

Nature's Getaway RV Park

30 RV Sites, 3 Tent Sites

Thirty sites span back-in water-and-electric 30-amp, back-in water-and-electric 50-amp, and pull-thru water-and-electric 30-amp categories, carrying water and electric with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Plan around the hookups — sites carry water and electric but not sewer, so manage tank capacity and use the dump station. Three tent sites and cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a game room, arcade, ball field, billiards, shuffleboard, volleyball, horseshoes, a playground, and swimming filling the rest. A state park is nearby, and the dark rural sky makes for genuinely good stargazing. Pets are welcome. Bedford County sits where the Allegheny Mountain ridges meet Shawnee State Park's forested plateau, and the old Lincoln Highway corridor has carried travelers past this spot since the road was built. Historic Bedford's preserved downtown, the Flight 93 National Memorial, and Blue Knob's skiing are all within reach, with the Pennsylvania Turnpike close.

Summer and fall foliage drive demand in the Maryland highlands. Reserve ahead, and plan your water and tank capacity around the electric-only sites.
