The people are nice here, I had a level spot and enjoyed my stay. Every Friday, the local Amish people come through the park and knock on your door. They sell wonderful treats like cookies, pies, fresh farm eggs and more. I would stay here again.

We just returned from 5 Days at Roamers Retreat and wish we had stayed longer. The campground is beautiful and the staff were all really nice. We stayed in a cabin which was nicer than we had expected. They were clean, new and had everything you needed for a great stay. The bed was even great! It also has A/C and heat. The front porch overlooks the field where Hot Air balloon rides may depart as well as the Amish farmland. Watching the Amish work their farms really adds to the experience. Around dinner time, Amish ladies stop by the cabins to see if anyone would like fresh picked vegetables or homemade pies. Nothing like a dozen fresh corn for $2 straight out of her wagon! The Cabin we stayed in slept 6, but there is a larger one there also. The kitchen had everything you would need and outside, each site has their own fire ring and charcoal grill as well as a picnic table. On the porch is a table and chairs. We spent most of the daytime driving the beautiful roads and shopping. If you like Antiquing, this is the place to be. You could literally stay for a week and not see it all. We stopped at all the small towns which were all very close by. Don't pack too much food to bring because the local markets are amazing. Amish made cheeses, fresh baked breads, and farmer's markets are everywhere. We tried to buy from the Amish Farms because they are all right there with signs outside their farms inviting you in to purchase whatever they had made that day. A sign for Ice cold homemade Root Beer is a treat, even if you don't like root beer. We bought Handmade birdhouses for $5 from a lovely Amish family and watched as they made them. Wilbur Chocolate Museum was fun as was the Sturgis Pretzel factory. The villages are all really cute to walk through. Try not to miss Shupp's Grove outdoor market on Sat. & Sundays if you like collectibles & antiques. It's really amazing. There are maps everywhere throughout Lancaster county- We did not visit Downtown Lancaster although we drove through. It was more of a city and we were in the country mode. After seeing where the other campgrounds were located and seeing their cabins, we were so happy with our choice of Roamers' Retreat. It was secluded and quiet and felt like camping without the tents. Highly recommended!

We arrived and were met by a very polite lady at the store. She told us that an accident knocked out power and the internet was done and that we could come back and pay our balance once it was restored. I received a map and location of our site and we were on our way. The site # was 95, a pull through. The site was not level, be prepared and bring your items to level your site. Was downhill and low on the passenger side of the camper. The grass is my biggest complaint. The grass was HIGH and needed cut. Lot's of mosquito's at night from rain and tall grass. Amish family came through the campground selling baked goods, neat experience. Aside from the grass problem, the campground was very clean, did not use the bathhouses. Cable, water, and electric all good

Our experience was not commensurate with that rating. The park is the worst we have ever seen, it is not maintained at all. Our site was pure dirt, no grass, no gravel, no pad. If it had rained during our stay it would have been a big mud pit!! It was full of debris, tress limbs and leaves that we could tell had been there a long while based in how covered in dirt they all were. The hook ups were falling apart, the electrical box was actually hazardous with no protection from the elements.
Our site was about 20 feet from a major highway; the road noise ruined the whole “getting back to nature” aspect of camping.
The permanent resident RVs were filthy and not maintained.
The store was useless, minimal stock and very few items on the shelf.
There is no view of the beautiful countryside of Lancaster County, only highway and an old run down machinery museum with rusty construction equipment in the parks back yard.
If you are going to Lancaster Co PA, I recommend finding another place to stay, this was unbelievably bad.

We have enjoyed staying at Roamers for several years. Last year 2015 was the first time I was dissatisfied. It took several attempts to get someone on the phone to book a site. After I finally got through and booked a site, the women explained that they were on lunch. Several hours later when I arrived before 5pm the store was closed. When the woman got there she explained to me that she was on lunch! The grass was not cut. There were flies everywhere. Only one bathroom was working and dirty. The one stall had no toilet paper so I asked the woman (she must of been done her lunch finally) for toilet paper. The response I got was well can't you use the toilet paper in the other stall? I asked is there were new owners because I never experienced Roamers as being unkempt, and the woman told me no. I just read somewhere on the reviews that new owners did take over. I think the woman lied to me. Another clue was that they are no longer a Good Sam Club member. Now I'm in a dilemma as I always enjoyed staying here, and now have to find another campsite that is next to farm lands. Ok well thanks

We were seasonal for about 5 yrs , until the new owners increased the seasonal rate $1500.00 a year.We asked when the new owners took over if they were increasing the seasonal rates because we had just built a beutiful deck on our camper, and we were told they wouldn't be raising the rate this year. Two weeks after we returned home we received the notice that they were raising the seasonal rate $1500.00 a year.Wow!!! We understand they want fair market value but before they increased the rate to what other camp grounds are getting they should at least offer what the other camp grounds have. We did our home work and found a really nice campground that offers a basketball court , horseshoe pit, two swimming pools, laundry room, miniature golf, volley ball, softball field, fully stocked camp store, for the same price Roamers is now getting ! We could understand raising the seasonal price maybe $500.00 for the season but all they did was bring the campground back to what it was like when we first started camping there 5 yrs ago. There's nothing new accept for the 50 amp service. .Most of the seasonal campers besides myself have left but we keep in touch.And that's my opinion, good luck Roamer's Retreat. .

This campground is very quiet and peaceful and perfect if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle. Campground borders an Amish farm and you will get to see the Amish going about their business. Can't say enough about the hosts. They are very accommodating and allowed us to move to another site when the site we had did not meet our needs We will definitely be coming back
