Hersheypark

About Hersheypark

Hersheypark is Pennsylvania's premier amusement destination, combining world-class roller coasters, family rides, a sprawling water park, and the iconic sweetness of Hershey's chocolate heritage. Located about 45 minutes from Pine Ridge Campground, it makes an unforgettable day trip for campers of all ages.

The park features over 70 rides and attractions spread across themed areas. Thrill-seekers will love the 15 roller coasters, including the legendary Candymonium (Hershey's tallest, fastest, and longest coaster), Fahrenheit's beyond-vertical drop, and the classic wooden Great Bear. For families, dozens of rides cater to younger adventurers, from classic carousels to junior coasters.

The Boardwalk water park is included with admission, featuring slides, wave pools, lazy rivers, and splash areas. On hot summer days, it's the perfect way to cool off between coaster runs. The water park operates seasonally within the main park.

Beyond rides, Hersheypark offers live entertainment, character meet-and-greets with the famous Hershey's characters, and endless dining options. Don't miss Hershey's Chocolate World next door (free admission), where you can tour the chocolate-making process, create custom candy bars, and stock up on treats.

For Pine Ridge campers, Hersheypark represents the ultimate day trip. Leave camp in the morning, spend the day riding coasters and splashing in the water park, then return to the peaceful mountains for a campfire evening.
