Absolutely terrible experience at Codorus State Park Campground. There is no privacy at all—the campsites are crammed so close together it feels like you’re in a crowded parking lot. There’s also no proper flat or soft area to set up a tent, which makes camping very uncomfortable. To make things worse, a group of six young people showed up around 11 PM, making noise while setting up their tents until 1 AM. They were shouting, drinking, and blasting music until nearly 3 AM. It was impossible to sleep. I tried calling the park authorities multiple times, but no one ever picked up. For a place that charges camping fees, the lack of enforcement and basic management is unacceptable. The only positive was that the restrooms were clean and well-maintained. Unfortunately, that was the only good part of the stay. Overall, a pathetic experience—I would not recommend this campground to anyone looking for a peaceful outdoor stay.
There are about 190 campsites suitable for tents or recreational vehicles up to 50 feet in length. Many campsites have electric hookups. Fifteen sites are available for tents only. Seven campsites with electricity are ADA accessible. Pets are permitted on designated sites for a fee. In the campgrounds are warm showers, flush toilets, a boat launch, shoreline mooring and a sanitary dump station. There are also three cottages and two yurts. The campground opens the second Friday in April and closes November 1. The park pool is next to the campground.
Beautiful place to go camping, staff at office & contact station are always helpful & friendly. Be sure to check out the playground and attend worship services Sundays at 9:30 AM. The Mary Ann Furnace trail leads from that area as well and is not too long to take. There's dog friendly campsites & the Timber Doodle sites are closer to the water.
We camped for a weekend at spot A-15. The park was nice but we camped for other activities close by. The campsite was nice, but it did have a slight grade, and there is also a cut sign post partially sticking out of the ground here. It could be a tripping / cutting hazard for children or anyone not wearing shoes. The bathrooms were clean and relatively close by, with showers being offered as well. Overall, the stay was pleasant.
Love this campground, been tent camping here multiple times. Convenient on line reservation, very reasonable prices, park rangers perform patrols throughout the day and night, clean pads for tents or RVs, clean well maintained bathrooms, site electric has 20A & 30A outlets. primitive sites also available, easy access to strategically located dump/garbage bins. Oh, if you have t-mobile for your mobile phones, the signal is good. Quiet time i believe is 10pm, never had issues with noise from other campers
