Pennsylvania - Intercourse - Beacon Hill / by Dave Hileman

We are into our second time at this spot in Lancaster County and the heart of Amish area. The campground is along a hill side about a 1/2 mile from the Kitchen Kettle in the village of Intercourse. There is a large, active Amish farm across the road from the CG and you get to see lots of farming operations from your campsite. They are mowing this morning as I type this. Each site here has water, electric and sewer connection. It is restricted to age 16 and over so you won’t find playgrounds and activities. What you do get is a well-run, clean and convenient place to set up camp for a base to explore the area. The people running Beason Hill are helpful and responsive. They also have a few cabins on site and a clean laundry and bathhouse. For our money a perfect spot in a perfect place for a week or more of fine Pennsylvania Dutch cooking, homemade ice cream and great bakeries. I know, it is about the food.
