Seasonal Camping Near Hanover PA
100% Seasonal RV Campground in Michaux State Forest
If you live in Hanover, you already know the charm of Adams County. The snack food heritage, the small-town feel, the rolling farmland. But when summer weekends arrive, you want something more - a place to escape, to breathe mountain air, to let the kids run free.
Pine Ridge Campground is just 30 minutes from your front door, tucked away at 2,050 feet elevation in Michaux State Forest. It's close enough to pop home when you need to, but far enough to feel like a genuine escape. Your RV stays set up all season, so Friday after work means driving straight to relaxation - no packing, no setup, just arrival.
Many of our seasonal campers come from Hanover and the surrounding Adams County towns. They've discovered what makes seasonal camping special: the community that forms when the same families return weekend after weekend, the friendships that develop around campfires, the traditions that build over years. This isn't a tourist campground. It's a seasonal home in the mountains.
