We paused at this location for a single evening, yet found ourselves desiring a more extended stay. The place was pleasant and the restrooms were neat, all nestled within a stunning park.

We paused at this location en route to Luray caverns and were delightfully astonished! The campground was gorgeous and well-kept, with lovely areas and welcoming individuals.

Kicking off the year with a journey, this location exceeded our expectations. It's conveniently near I-81 and the park has well-maintained roads. Our accommodation was at Hosack Run Campground where pets are welcome. Conversely, Chinquapin Hill Campground is a no-pet zone. The parking spot was a bit narrow, but we managed to park after a few attempts. The site was flat from left to right with a slight decline towards the back. No need for leveling blocks. Power, water, and sewage facilities were easily accessible. However, the water hydrant's anti-siphon valve had a major leakage. We reported it to the host and the campground crew fixed it within 45 minutes. Exceptional service! Every site comes with a picnic table and a fire pit. The table was a bit worn but still in good shape and the fire pit was situated at the back of the site. The restroom facility is fairly new and well-kept. The park and the adjacent state forest offer activities like fishing, boating, and hiking. The hiking paths link to the Appalachian trail and offer a range of difficulty levels. Mobile network coverage was inconsistent with only one bar (T-Mobile) and we didn't find any Wi-Fi.

We stayed just one night at this CG since we were traveling through the area. This was a beautiful PA state park! The park is large, clean and very well maintained. Rangers patrolled through the CG regularly. The sites were exactly the length quoted online (no more and no less) so plan carefully. We selected a full hook-up site but when we arrived, the utilities were extremely far forward on the street side of the camper and we couldn’t use them. Luckily, a fellow camper had an additional power cord and we were able to borrow that for the night. Also, bring leveling blocks because a number of the sites weren’t level, especially front to back, although they were beautifully paved and groomed. We stayed in this park during the week so it was quiet in the park. (Route 30 – the road leading to the campground is busy all the time and it is loud.) The bathhouse on our loop was brand new. It was perfectly clean and spacious, with plenty of shower and toilet stalls. Bring your bug spray! The mosquitos and gnats were awful!

This will summarize two stays - November 2021 and April 2022: Really nice campground overall. Stayed in Hosack run loop; There is a mixture of tent and hook up sites, and among the hook ups, most are electric only, but there are a few water plus electric mixed in. I really like the commingling of tents and some big rigs - you see every type of camper. Ours had electric only; used site 177 and it was good. We also camped in site 176, which is OK, but a little unlevel, and a manhole cover right under the picnic table. 177 was better. Most sites are reasonably separated, but kind of close by state park standards. Tent sites are nicely placed and pretty private. The wood is pay by honor system in a little hut so nice and dry, and a nice bonus - the host keeps old newspapers and a bin of bark and small thin wood splittings that make starting your fire really easy. As mentioned elsewhere, the bath house is new and nice. Bathhouse has a dish washing station which was closed due to low temperature in early April and early November. There are a couple of pump wells available to get some water in cold weather. There is a nice hiking trail that leaves right from the campground that goes by a stream and leads to other areas of the park. Gettysburg is about 25 minutes away.
