Quick Overview

The town's quiet streets wind past working farms and century-old stone houses, offering RV travelers a peaceful base for exploring one of America's most distinctive cultural landscapes. Just minutes from your campsite, you'll find authentic Amish markets, handcrafted furniture shops, and horse-drawn buggies sharing the road with modern traffic.

The Quarryville area currently hosts several RV campgrounds and parks, with all locations being privately operated facilities.

Most offer full hookups with 30/50-amp service, making them suitable for big rigs and extended stays.

From your campsite, you're perfectly positioned to experience authentic Amish culture without the crowds of Lancaster city. Drive ten minutes to visit working farms where families still plow with horses and sell fresh produce from roadside stands. The nearby Strasburg Rail Road offers scenic train rides through the countryside, while Kitchen Kettle Village provides shopping and dining in a quaint village setting. Robert Fulton Birthplace and the National Christmas Center add historical depth to your stay.

These campgrounds cater primarily to families and couples seeking a comfortable base for cultural exploration rather than wilderness camping. Most feature amenities like swimming pools, playgrounds, and camp stores, recognizing that guests spend their days touring rather than hanging around the campground. The focus here is convenience and comfort after full days of sightseeing.

Spring through fall offers the best weather and attraction access, though summer brings peak crowds to the region. Many Amish businesses close on Sundays, so plan your touring accordingly. Winter camping is possible but limits outdoor activities significantly.

Traveling to Quarryville by RV

Quarryville sits just off US Route 222, providing straightforward access from major highways without navigating narrow country roads with your RV. From the north, take I-76 (Pennsylvania Turnpike) to Exit 266 for Route 222 South, then follow signs toward Quarryville. The route features gentle hills and wide shoulders, making it comfortable for larger rigs.

US Route 30 (Lincoln Highway) runs east-west through the region, connecting Quarryville to Lancaster city and York. This historic road can get congested during peak tourist season, especially on weekends, so plan extra travel time. Route 372 provides a scenic alternative through genuine Amish farmland, though you'll need to watch for horse-drawn buggies and farm equipment.

Stock up on fuel and supplies in Lancaster before heading to Quarryville, as options become more limited in the rural areas. Weis Markets on Route 222 offers a full grocery selection and RV-accessible parking. Turkey Hill convenience stores throughout the region provide fuel and basic supplies.

Avoid narrow township roads marked with weight restrictions – stick to numbered state routes when moving your RV. Many Amish businesses don't have large parking areas, so consider unhooking your toad for daily touring. The winding country roads that make this area charming can be challenging in a 40-foot motorhome.
