Re all the complaints about noise. I found it restful! The noise was so loud and continus that it was like White Noise. It drowned out the people all around us and their noises. Sounds funny but true. NOT a wilderness experience at all... sites are VERY (we were tenting the RV's were even closer if you can believe it,... more

Well, if you've read the other reviews, you know all about the train. No need to emphasize that any more. We stayed far from the train, next to the river - and we got to listen to the noise of the quarry (across the river) all night long. Clanking, banging, various electric alarms that went off all night - drifting... more

Positives: Location is perfect, shuttle bus to park, warm heated pool, upper area is roomy, awesome store and customer service. Negative: lower area with WES is very tight and upper area is VERY close to train. We have stayed 3x now, 2x in upper and once in lower. Lower is perfect and you barely hear train especially with AC on.... more

As far as campground amenities go, Highmeadow is excellent. The restrooms were clean and not crowded, although I showered at off-peak hours. Some showers have just curtains, some have lockable doors. The pool seems clean and was not crowded, although I only spent 15 minutes of our entire trip, holding a baby next to it. I didn't visit the camp... more

Pros: the campground is clean, close to the park and shopping nearby. Staff is very friendly and the buses are great. cons: Should rename this the Hershey Railroad campground. We stayed in a bcabin across the bridge from the swimming pool which is about in the middle of the campground. There are sites right along railroad. I can't imagine how... more

Having just returned from a family vacation July 2-5 I felt compelled to write and give the good, the bad and the loud!! We were a family of four (2 kids--ages 5 & 10) traveling in an RV. The good: the staff were pleasant, the campground was clean, trash was picked up at your site morning and night and security... more

This campground is built within feet of a freight train that runs all day and night, back and forth, non-stop. You can't imagine how loud it really is until you experience it yourself. And it's a very long train, so it takes a long time to go by. There is no way to sleep through it, so we were up... more

Nothing to write home about. The bathrooms are full service with showers and are clean. No way of locking the showers for privacy though. It is not far from the Hershey Park or the Hershey Museum. Was hard to find management to pay and there was hardly any light in the camping area. I believe this is the only campground... more

This is by far the noisiest, LOUDEST campground I have ever been to in my life! My family tented in site 114, which I chose because it was far away from the train tracks....well, it was right on the road and I had loud, inconsiderate people walking within inches of my head all night long. The section is called Shady... more

We stayed in June for two nights. Our famiily rented 3 campsites in the Shady Rest part of the campground. It was anything but shady. The trees, which may have provided shade at one time, were cut back. In the morning the sun glared on us and heated us up pretty good by 8am. If we had realized that we... more
