All to yourself

100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

Walking paths leading to the scenic Conowingo Creek make this private setting located in southern Lancaster County a perfect relaxing get away. A short walk will put you on the banks of ideal fishing or a refreshing dip in the beautiful waterway. Some experts claim that plopping a chair in the middle of the creek with a good book is the only way to go! Then, after an evening by the campfire and a cozy night of sleep, a short drive gives you access to the Susquehanna River where hiking and scenic overlooks abound. The area is surrounded by Amish farms and loads of country charm. Got an itch for a historic city experience? Lancaster city is a 30 minute drive north where the historic Lancaster Central Market is open Tuesday, Friday and Saturday and surrounded by lots of quaint shopping. Recently added to Camp Conowingo Extras is the "Henry Hilton" which sleeps two and is an add-on for larger groups or anyone who wants to take in the view, sleeping closer to the stars. See photos in the listing and talk to Gini for details. We look forward to having you visit us.Our aim is to provide all you'll need for a relaxing private getaway, you can just pack your food and clothing. The bed is always clean and prepared for your arrival with linens to suit the season. We also supply you with plenty of dry firewood, because what would camping be without a fire!

A Dream Getaway for Dogs & Humans!

Wow—this campsite exceeded all of my expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a beautifully maintained site. The surroundings were breathtaking—peaceful, private, and immersed in nature. One of the best parts? It was perfect for our dogs! We brought our three pups, and they were welcomed with open arms. The space was safe, with plenty of room for them to explore without worry. It’s not always easy to find truly dog-friendly spots, but this one went above and beyond. What also really set this place apart was the attention to detail and the thoughtful touches from the hosts. You can tell they truly care about creating an unforgettable experience for their guests. Whether you’re looking for a quiet getaway or a basecamp for adventure, this spot is perfect. We can’t wait to come back! If you’re considering booking, do it—you won’t be disappointed!

Glamp! Conowingo

Our weekend at Camp Conowingo far exceeded any Hipcamp experience we have had to date, and we’ve had many good ones. Granted, we are tent campers who are used to bringing our own gear from tent to mattress to sleeping bags and everything in between so we overpacked, to say the least. We were not prepared for how much gear was provided and how easy this experience would be. Camp Conowingo takes “glamping” to a whole other level. From the memory foam mattress to the extra blankets and pillows, the propane heater (well worth the small extra fee on cold nights), the huge stockpile of firewood, the pots and pans, Coleman stove, lanterns, paper products, cleaning supplies, and anything else you could imagine; everything was provided for except for food and beverage. And beyond the basics, the attention to detail, and the overall pride shown for this little piece of paradise was very evident. We were greeted with potted pansies, locally made whoopee pies, and a plentiful supply of drinking water deliciously curated by Kelly, the resident water management expert. Paths were lined with wine bottle torches and a hammock provided pleasant respite overlooking the river. It’s a beautiful site in the woods in the middle of Amish country. Listen for the pleasant clop clop of hooves as the neighbors pass by in their horse-drawn carriages. We’ll be back!

Highly recommend booking your stay at Conowingo Creek! The hosts are incredibly kind and thoughtful. The property has a beautifully kept trail and the camp site was quiet and private. This is a great option for a weekend getaway with everything you need already there, just pack some food and clothes. In the chilly weather the heater in the tent kept us warm all night. We will be back very soon!

With kids

We came here to celebrate my kids’s birthdays. The site was beautiful and peaceful. We were able to bring our dog and have her off leash which she loved. Our kids stayed in the treehouse. It was a really nice time to unplug and spend time together the site itself is perfect. Gini has supplied everything that you could possibly need.

With pets

The campsite was lovely, incredibly well-stocked and well-organized, and had everything we needed for cooking, which made our stay easy and comfortable. Gini was great to communicate with, always responsive and helpful. When we realized we’d forgotten an air mattress for the extra tent we arranged for our son, Gini and Kelly stepped in and helped us out, saving the day. It was a fantastic experience overall, and we’d love to come back!
