Lancaster/New Holland KOA: First Trip With Our New Camper

Those of you who have been following our adventures from the start, know that we started out tent camping, moved on to a travel trailer, and then a 5th Wheel.  Even though we enjoyed all of our camping methods, once we adopted Margarita, we discovered that we needed to travel in a way where all of us could be a little bit more comfortable while on the road. We decided to trade our 5th Wheel in for a Class-A RV!

 Our campsite (Site X-16) … we LOVED our site!

We enjoyed this campground very much – one of the days was very rainy, which gave us some time to get acclimated to our new RV!

Once the weather broke, we were able to enjoy the outdoors at our great site!

Friends of ours live nearby the campground, and were nice enough to come by with some Lancaster favorites that we have never had before!

We had a fun (and most importantly – SAFE) first trip in our new camper – during one of the very, VERY few camping trips where dock diving was not involved!

This year’s Easter camping trip was at Old Mill Stream Campground in Lancaster, PA.  We had a great view, and a wonderful weekend with friends!

This campground is located at Dutch Wonderland and offers discounted tickets for the amusement park.  The amusement park was closed during our Easter visit.

Old Mill Stream is also very close to many area attractions and shopping in Lancaster, PA. For those who would rather stay-put in the campground, there are lots of amenities such as:

  • Two Laundromats
  • Country Store – selling a limited selection of groceries, sundries and camping supplies including ice, wood and propane.
  • Two dump stations
  • Free Wi-Fi
  • Game Room
  • Playground
  • Half-Court Basketball
  • Horseshoes
  • GaGa Ball Pit

Unfortunately, Rita had to stay with a friend for this trip since she had just gone into heat, and Hooch is still intact.  However, we still made sure the Easter Bunny took care of Rita in our absence!

The Easter Bunny always leaves great treats for the pups in the camper:

Every Easter camping trip, we let the pups have an Easter egg hunt in the camper:
