Beautiful campsite in the mountains of Adams county. It was not busy the week we went. Lots to do around the area or just chill and grill at the site. We have been here many times. read more

Beautiful park, many flat trails and some pretty steep trails. They do have some loose gravel and it is indicated on signs sometimes hard to see trail markings but overall really great day. read more

Like I said before state parks are tough to rank given everything that these parks provide, I will say the facilities are excellent, I stayed at the campground within the park and the bathroom felt as if I was staying in a Hilton, brand new and super clean so kudos to that! The trails are all amazing as well, maybe not as scenic as you'd like compared to some other parks but that's not an issue, hike the Appalachian trail if you're up to it, check out the old hearths in the park or head on down to the Caledonia furnace, this park has a ton of hiking options and also offers some great picnic areas. My only gripe and it might be a weird one that I might have just had an issue with during this certain week, there were a lot of "odd" people around, first off I ran into a homeless man first thing sleeping nearly on a trailhead, had some people poking around my campsite site another day and as dumb as this sounds ran into someone on a trail that just gave off some bad/odd vibes. Don't wanna sound like a Karen here but I thought I'd just throw that out there. But overall I chalk it up to a coincidence and recommended this state park, I had a lot of fun here. read more

This is a great local park. Lots of BBQs for the summer. Families picnicking or taking walks all around on a beautiful day. Lots of wide streams and the greenery is beautiful. The trees are very tall. We saw two snakes by the stream. There's a pond. Not a lot of people on the trails but you'll occasionally pass people by. There is a campground, a pool that isn't open right now, and just a lot of wide, open spaces. If you like nature, find a trail and just go for a nice walk. The Appalachian trail runs through these hills. Starts off with a steep hike up (see my picture) but pretty cool that it's accessible through here. read more

Great state park for camping near Gettysburg and Chambersburg. The park itself is small and camping is divided into 2 areas; Chinquapin Hill and Hosack Run. Nice large picnic/day use area as well (with a pool when the season allows). Campsite was clean when we arrived. Restroom and shower were clean and modern. The one downside is that there aren't a lot of moderate/difficult hiking trails (minus the AT of course!), but other than that, a great place to stay! read more

No people camping sites are all up hill bathrooms have a Coat hanger in the middle of the door and slams close on you and cuts you and rip skin off no one's friendly just mean you get brushed on the door and bleed bad a very bad site read more

Lot was not level and they gave me a spot which did not fit my RV even though they knew it's size. This place is horrible. Hardly any level lots, spots are tiny and cramped and customer service sucks. Since we didn't fit in the spot they furnished, we had to return home. Even the camp host knew of these problems b cause he receives complaints all the time. AVOID AT ALL COST!!! read more

I've been coming here most of my life and love it. There's picnic tables and grills around a creek for kids as well as hiking trails. The only issue is the pool says open until 7 but has everyone get out at 6:45. Also watch for ticks. But overall a great place for the family. read more

Caledonia is as wild as nature gets. There is forest with water, people, trails, camping, and clean air that's hard to find in other places.

Very nice state park. Sites are decent, though several of the tent sites are packed in tight clusters. Very nice main office, with an incredibly helpful and friendly staff person. Insanely clean facilities. Nice bathhouses. Good access to potable water. Quiet at night. read more

Nice hiking trails for all types of hiking levels. One connects to the Appalachian Trail, which is fun. Big swimming pool if you like pools. Swam there once last year, seemed clean enough and the deep end wasn't as crowded, so you could actually swim! Concession stand is pretty standard. Lots of places to stroll if you're not able or into hiking. You can get a picnic table by the stream and have some food, play in the water, or just relax. Nice play set for kids, surrounded by picnic tables for the parents. Never camped here, so cannot comment on that. read more

A group of my friends and I stayed at Caledonia State Park in the CALEDONIA LODGE last fall (Sept 2016). We love finding a state park somewhere in the middle of the state to spend a weekend enjoying the great outdoors. We picked the Caledonia Lodge because it was big enough to host all of us, and on the map appeared to be right near tons of hiking options! We were SORELY disappointed when we arrived and saw the location of the lodge. It is literally at the intersection of the two most major roadways in the area. All day and all night we heard monster trucks and motorcycles speeding and screeching up and down the roads. Despite the beautiful park, great lodge, hiking trails, location of the park to other activities, etc.... listening to roaring traffic 24/7 soured the "nature" experience a bit. I would still recommend staying here, but keep this in mind...................... P.S. the rangers were great - very helpful! read more

Beautiful state park that is maybe 10 to 15 minutes away from Chambersburg and Gettysburg. If you're looking for something else to do while here, check out the old jail in Chambersburg, that was pretty awesome. The park itself can be a little confusing to navigate. The first time we camped here we passed the main entrance at least 2 times. Signs are often small and wooden set on the side of the road amongst foliage. They can be easily missed if you're not paying close enough attention. Our tent site was situated on an extremely hilly area near the bathhouse. Pitching the tent on level ground was a tad difficult, but we eventually made it work. The bathroom facilities were clean with warm water and clean showers, which is always a plus. The park itself offers many things to do. There are a few historic buildings, a nicely paved walking trail, a pool, stream, and playground. The sheer size of the park is overwhelming, so we didn't venture too far off the beaten path. I'm sure you could easily spend weeks/months wandering around the forest if you really wanted. I can confirm that after getting lost on the backroads for almost an hour (see Ridge Rd/Locust Gap Rd). We pulled off the main road for a few minutes and the GPS went crazy and took us down many single lane, dirt roads devoid of all human life for miles. The type of place where you could break down or die and nobody would find you for months/years. I'll say this, it took us about an hour and 20 minutes to reach starbucks/panera bread in Chambersburg (son was cold and wanted something warm) and 15 minutes going back. Yeah, we were THAT lost! Again, limited signage on the roads (if you can even call them roads). One thing I will say, do not drive this area in the dark. Lights are minimal and you will very easily miss those tiny wooden signs I mentioned at the beginning. Our second stay here was at the youth group area and I had a hard time one night when the sun was still out but barely. When it is completely dark and with all the animals scurrying about, I would not want to be driving down some of these roads looking for my camp site. read more

One of my favorite parks it's has a pool on one side and the lake style beach on the other side the bad is if you want to throw a party to get a picnic table you must come early it's first come first serve basis read more

Was pleasantly surprised by this campground. We stayed in the upper section. The RV spots were all paved and not on top of each other. Bath houses very clean. Very hilly if you want to get out and walk or bike but I assume everything in this area is like this. Only negative is pool is closed. read more

Great park. Variety of trails for all hikers. Great water features and perfect spot for a fun time.

Caledonia is a 1125 acre state park on Route 30, near Chambersburg, Pa. The Appalachian Trail passes through the park on its way from Maine to Georgia. It has some great walking trails throughout, along with an amphitheater, restrooms, concession stand, playground and camping areas. A good stop if you're in the area and want to relax. read more

Amazing camping, beautiful amenities and great prices. I love Caledonia/Michaux and think that everyone does a great job. Close to Chambersburg and Gettysburg, beautiful camp sites and great people. read more

Average park because: 1. we stayed at Chinquapin Hill campsite that's too close to route 30. You can hear motor vehicles all night. 2. Bathroom is decent. 3. Tent site #80: the tent pad is on the hill, separate from the fire ring and picnic table. 4. There is no park store that sells fire wood so you have to buy it from individuals/houses along route 30. 5. They provide a sink to wash the dishes which is nice. 6. The grill is too low so it is too close to the fire. The grill's height is not adjustable. 7. Plenty of trees that provide shade over the tents which is nice,especially during hot days. 8. distance of each campsite is not too close and not too far to one another. read more

Caledonia is a favorite of our family. The park has something for everyone--hiking, swimming pool, picnic tables, and quiet stream-sides for respite on hot summer days. read more

Great state park. Beautiful creek that you can wade in. Big public swimming pool. Hiking and fishing (nice pond). Big dark woods. Even saw a bear cub about a year ago. Near Totem Pole Playhouse. read more

If you are looking to get back to nature and don't mind being close to Rt 30 this park is great. I am a hiker/backpacker and love the area between here and Pine Grove furnace. You should be able to see frogs, snakes, deer, various fish in the ponds, and possibly bear. The woods here are some of the best to hike in though south central Pa. I would recommend the campsite about a mile back off the road. It has just about everything you need to stay comfy. I first went here with a boy scout troop as a kid and I still love it 40 yrs later. read more

Nice area but has a lot of traffic noise from route 30. The campground is also in need of repairs. The lights didn't work in showers and very rundown. We wanted to park for Appalachian trail hike here and we had to register and park in designated trail parking. This was a terrible location 1/2 mile from trail. You have to walk down route 30. Very unsafe with trucks flying by 4' away. read more

Best Park Manager in the State. Phillip was knowledgeable and pleasant.

In from Michigan and stopped to let our Golden get some energy out while on way to Gettysburg. Loved this place. He loves the numerous streams to lay down in and we enjoy the walk. read more

My family took my son and nephew there to play in the creek and on the playground. We are locals and enjoy being there. The playground needs to be more toddler friendly. There are no baby swings. Other than that we will definitely keep going back. The only other complaint would be one day we were there a tree had been taken down previously and a guy was there in the middle of a busy day cleaning it up with a tractor, kids and people everywhere. I think it could have been done in the early morning before opening! All my son wanted to do was go near the tractor. read more

Make sure to check the location of your campsite. My husband and I made a 2 night reservation and arrived around an hour after check in (4pm), and found that the campsite are situated very tightly in the loops. A group of campers were not 10 feet from our fire ring. We left and found another campsite elsewhere. Very little privacy between the sites, therefore, this might be great for large groups. read more
