Beacon Hill Camping

This is my favorite camping spot. I’ve never stayed with an rv but I’ve rented both a cabin and the park. The cabins are bare bones. You have to bring your own sheets and blankets and they don’t have bathrooms but there’s a communal bathroom that you share with the campers. It’s a bed in a box. The park on the otherhand has a kitchen and a bathroom and lots of storage space. You’ll still need to bring your own bedding but it has most of what you’ll need like dishes and a coffee pot.

Campground was clean and inviting. However, the sites are tight and small. Our site was right next to the maintainance building so we looked at a cinder block wall. There was no fire ring at our site. Would not go back

Beacon Hill is primarily an RV park, but there are several camping cabins available. This review is of our stay in one of the cabins:
We had been tent camping on our way from New Orleans to New England, but when we encountered really frigid weather in Lancaster, we decided to treat ourselves by booking a cabin. After all, we already had all the gear we would need and booking a cabin would certainly be cheaper than a motel, right? Well… not so much. What we found when we got there was a ‘bed in a box’ — a small cabin with a bed, mini-​frig and nothing else. It is a camping cabin, so no linens, etc. All of this was as expected. And it was very clean and tidy — appeared quite new, in fact. But the cost of $ 50+ a night was, I thought, quite high when I found that there were literally dozens of motels in the immediate area that would have cost the same — or less — and we would have had all the extras. You know, extras like linens, TV, running water and, oh yeah, a bathroom that doesn’t require a trip across the parking lot! (Please know that we are familiar with camping cabins and didn’t expect anything more than clean, basic accomodations. But this cabin would cost half as much in any other commercial campground I’ve been in.)
My other issue is the setting of the RV park and cabins. The whole place is small (1 to 2 acres tops) and consists of a single, large gravel parking lot chocked full of RV’s parked as close as they can get ‘em. The cabins, there were 3, I think, are at the far end of the gravel lot. The setting is not what one would picture when one considers camping in Amish country! It was a bit like camping in a WalMart parking lot.
So… I guess in short, the cabins at Beacon Hill are basic, clean, serviceable. It was our fault that we chose the cabin without checking the price against local motels. (We were ‘en route’ and it was a last minute decission late at night… so, we were taking our chances.) But for the cost, next time I’ll take the time to find a motel.
