For KOA Journey Jonestown: Easy access to/from I81 near the I81/I78 interchange. Level camp spots only spent one night so no need to unhook. Good Restaurant on site with extensive menu. Bath house clean, but stuffy - could use more ventilation. Arrived after a rain storm and our spot was dry, but others had standing water - not bad but enough to be irritating. Should add stone to low spots. Our 3rd stay here while transiting, would stay again.

For KOA Journey Jonestown: We had a one night stay here. This camp is a very convenient distance off the interstate, and that’s probably the best thing going for it. No pool, and only one washroom for the entire camp. In the morning the water pressure was down to a few PSI. In an email sent days later they said that a camper had broke something, and the low water pressure wasn’t their fault. Nevertheless, the camp managers were nowhere to be found that particular morning to explain the situation to us, which I find inexcusable. There are 4 toilet stalls in the men’s bathroom, and 3 of them were inoperable. We packed up and left early. I would not stay here again.

For KOA Journey Jonestown: We stayed here in February on our return trip from Florida. The facilities were all very nice although the pad sites and access lanes could use some gravel. Lots of big potholes that collect rain and mud would definitely consider staying here sometime in the summer and visiting nearby Hershey.

For KOA Journey Jonestown:
A staff member greets you at the front gate, checks you in and leads you to your site. There are lots of trees and most are trimmed; however, we did snag a couple on turns when we left. The sites are gravel and dirt, and they could definitely use more gravel. We were in a “deluxe†site. A pull thru with a brick fire pit, a couple of adirondack chairs and a glass topped table with 4 chairs. All the chairs and table were dirty. This was not a $95 deluxe site IMO. The site was plenty long enough for a 45 MH and tow vehicle, and we did not need to unhook. Sites are nearby with some grass and trees between sites. There is no privacy. Some sites have more space between them than others. Some sites are on Swatara Creek. It’s a pretty wide for a creek and a big attraction for swimming and kayak/canoe. Sites on the creek are parallel parked (head to toe not side to side). Be prepared for lots of mosquitoes. This KOA attracts many weekend warriors and kids (there are many activities for them). There is lots of stirred up gravel dust when cars/RVs go by. We didn’t try the WiFi as it has very limited access. They also have cable but we didn’t try it. It is very noisy from I-81 and Lickdale Road with loads of souped up trucks. They have an on-site deli that serves wings, salads, sandwiches and burgers. They also have Turkey Hill ice cream in all sorts of flavors and sundaes. The store is fairly well stocked with RV items as well as grocery essentials. There are a couple of fast food restaurants within walking distance. There are also a couple of gas stations. Good Verizon coverage.

For KOA Journey Jonestown: Many problems mentioned in previous reviews have been resolved. Yes, there is road noise for the convenience of being close to i81. Staff very helpful and quick. Only park that answered phone at 4:15 on Sunday when we definitely needed an overnight stop. Lovely trees, new gravel, cute and well maintained common area. Spacious pull throughs for many huge rigs with ties that were here with us.

For KOA Journey Jonestown: Stayed for one night while traveling through to see friends in the area. Most amenities were closed (early January 2020), but the kids did enjoy the playground. The staff was friendly and helpful. My main complaint is the campground drainage. 24-hours after the last rainfall, and the campsites were still quite muddy (making unloading/loading the toad quite messy and uncomfortable).
The location is good, although the distance into Hershey is slightly less desirable (20-30 minutes). We did not use the bath/laundry facilities.
