Ben Franklin RV Park

Not a real pretty park yet, but they are getting there. Family owned and they really worked with me on reservations during a very busy time. Really appreciated. All utilities worked great as well.

Very service oriented. Have roomy sites.

The showers are indoors, heated and ac. Reguraly maintained. The clubhouse is real nice with nice bathrooms, a kitchen, fireplace. Outside it a gas firepit, a waterfall, and a laundry facilities. This is a nice rv park with full hook ups too. Handicap equipped and best of all the price. Check this place out!

If you're looking for a high energy, attraction filled theme campground stocked with cartoon animals, swimming pools, mini-golf, shuffleboard and bounce pillows, keep driving. Ben Franklin may not be for you.

If, however, you want quiet neighbors, 50 amp electrical service. last minute (and by last minute, I called them the day before and requested two side by side sites which they accommodated), INEXPENSIVE camping whether on your way to somewhere else or stopping in the York, PA area for a few days, it's hard to beat this place!

The owners (Ben and his spouse) will work to meet your needs. The campground is in transition so you will find some older mobile homes mixed in among brand new TT's 5ers and 6 figure motor homes. You can tell that they are updating as fast as possible as there is work in progress in addition to what they have already done. There's only one bath house but it has two separate, self-contained restroom/shower units that rival almost anyplace you have been, previously along with a laundry room. We never had to wait to use any of them.

Easy access from US 30 (ignore your GPS and follow I 83 to US 30) and plenty of places to eat within 15 minutes if you choose not to cook.

Not every site had picnic tables but ours had one that we shared with our adult kids in the site next to us. Our sites were on the outermost loop which placed us next to the US 30 on/off ramps so the occasional Jake-braking truck and motorcycle racer boys would shatter the stillness but overall, the traffic noise was mostly not noticed by any of us.

Our stay was a 'shakedown cruise' for the kids' 32 ft. TT that they got back unexpectedly after long term warranty repairs at the dealership. We were glad to find Ben Franklin had available weekend space on a single day's notice!

The 5 stars are for great value, highly accommodating service and well maintained facilities.
