Welcome to Tentrr Camping in Pennsylvania’s Dutch Country

Camping in Pennsylvania’s Dutch Country is like taking a step back in time with one foot, while keeping the other firmly in the present. There is everything that you imagine when you think of Amish neighborliness, but there are also shows to see, events to attend, and nature to be explored. There are 27 campgrounds in Lancaster County, with easy access to anywhere you’d like to go in Dutch Country.

The Amish, as well as the Mennonites, the Brethren, and the other “Plain People” of Dutch Country live in the farmlands and, although they are often seen as a unique tourist attraction, tend to go about their daily lives without much interruption. Yes, they sell their wares in town, including Amish furniture, Amish clothing, and Amish quilts. You can even pay for an actual Amish buggy ride. But these are humble people, and visiting campers should treat them with respect, not as a spectacle.

One Dutch Country tradition that sprung from the Amish but has been adopted by many local eateries is the smorgasbord buffet restaurants and family-style dining. Serving distinctive Dutch heritage dishes like beef and turkey, baked and and fish, chicken corn soup, baked cabbage and bakery-fresh desserts, it makes for a wonderful dinner before heading back to camp.

If you want to experience the great outdoors, you can go on mountain retreats where guides will teach you archery, rappelling, and climbing, or you can see the outdoors from up high in a hot air balloon. One thing that you’ll learn about camping in Dutch Country is that if you can think of something to do, it’s likely there waiting for you.

Camping in Dutch Country is like no camping trip you’ve taken before and you’ll absolutely love it and make it a return spot again and again.
