Located between Route 30 and Route 340 on North Ronks Road in the village of Ronks, PA, just 7 miles east of Lancaster.  Central to Lancaster County's Amish community, Hershey, Reading, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

I camped here about six years ago (after a League of American Bicyclists' rally in Millersville) with my tent.  I checked in this year with my mini motor home after my Bon Ton Roulet bicycle tour of the Finger Lakes, New York, and just prior to a League of American Bicyclists' rally in Altoona, PA. 

It's in the perfect spot - adjacent to a working Amish farm and off the heavily traveled routes.  You can sit outside your camper, hear the clip clop of the Amish horses and see the buggies going by. 

On-site store, fax service, message service and message board, laundry room, game room, playground for the kids, Luigi Lounge with a variety of scheduled events though the camping year.  Checkout time is a generous 2 p.m.

Campground and village are on the same grounds; if you are camping here, there is no charge to go through the village.  Herr's Grist Mill, constructed in the early 1800s, was the center around which the village was built.  1929 was the last year the mill operated.  Around this time, some of the village property was sold to the Amish and Mennonites for farming.  The 1816 Miller's house was furnished by the Amish as they would live today.  The one-room school has been furnished with desks, blackboards, wall charts and art work drawn by Amish students, all acquired from a local One Room   School in Lancaster County.  A 50 minute film runs continuously throughout the day, "A People of Preservation."  Craftspeople demonstrate broom making, candle making, quilting, etc.  Your buggy ride will take you through the longest covered bridge in Lancaster County (included in the admission fee).
