Ben Franklin RV Park

I have been here a few weeks out of a month booking. Yes the place is not one where you want to be for anything, but an overnight stay. There is no on site management, store or anything besides a laundry room and the campsites. That being said it was only $700 a month for a full hookup. The place is clean, the residents are quiet, and the traffic noise is bad during rush hour. The locstion, however, has been good for us. We went here after a week at the York Fairgrounds and planned to go to the Hershey show which is about an hour away. Overall we have really liked York and found this location pretty much close to everything we needed or wanted. I could have gotten a campground that had more amenities (that I probably would not use), but I also would have had to pay a lot more for it.

The only means of communicating with management is by text. I felt a bit unsafe after a few visits with neighbors. The park has many permanent tenants with outdated homes. The park generally looks tired. When I was there the water was off and I was notified by text. Location to attractions is excellent.

Strange mix of trailer homes, permanent residents and overnight visitors like us. No one is available at the entrance and check in is via QR code. Our site backed up to a hilly section of freeway where we were interrupted often by truck air brakes. The site was fairly level, but services are not well thought out. The picnic table is nowhere near the fire pit. Water and electricity are very far apart and the dump attachment was at an angle that wasn't going to work for us. An overhead parking lot style light blinked off and on randomly. We could smell dog poop. The back of the site was full of trash. Skip this one, especially for the price

My goal in leaving reviews was to limit myself to positive reviews and just not post anything for negative ones. This said, I think a traveler should not be fooled by their attractive website photos of the Ben Franklin RV park. I speculated that maybe this park is a side hustle for an owner who doesn’t want to put too much effort into their facility (other than a banquet room). There is nobody on site to help with any issues that should arise. You can text a number, but that is it. Our site was okay but make sure you have extensions on your hoses because the water, dump or power can be far away. There were people who requested (and confirmed) full hook ups that didn’t get it. One poor fellow with a 5th wheel couldn’t fit in his site but luckily he swapped with someone else. Another

Ben Franklin RV Park – One of Our Worst Stays Since Going Full-Time We’ve been full-time RVers since 2020, and sadly, this park ranks as the second worst we’ve ever stayed at. We booked last minute and regretted it almost immediately. 🚫 First Impressions: • Arrived to find the bathhouse bathroom clogged and the dump station broken. • Other campers said it had been that way for a while. • No staff on property—only a phone number to text. Hours later, we got a reply saying it was “being handled.” • Our campsite itself had several piles of uncleaned dog waste that we had to deal with. 💥 The Fireworks Fiasco: Late Friday, we received an email saying there would be fireworks for a private event on Saturday night. It claimed they’d last only 15 minutes at dusk. To protect our elderly dogs, we
