Re: Where's the best place to stay Hershey?
The best places are all booked up, long ago. All places are booked up, long ago.
You might find a place 40-50 miles away. Good Luck ! MIKE |

Re: Where's the best place to stay Hershey?
One year we pitch a tent and it snowed. We darn near froze to death. Then I borrowed a slide in truck camper full of bees. Then the next year I bought a well used Motor Home. Work on it all summer to get it ready and It done very good. About each year I got something different. This year I have a 2004 Four Winds MH 31 foot. It only has 15,000 miles on it. A Chevy 6.0 engine. You can rent a camper trailer to take there no rooms to be had. If you pitch a tent you will make it snow for sure. It worth going.My wife was about ready to shoot me when it snowed with the tent.

Re: Where's the best place to stay Hershey?
I find that there are hotels in carlise , pa almost always available now, ( cheap prices) hershey is not as big as it was (as most shows), there is a freeway from carlise that goes around harrisburg and hook into rt 322 into herhey takes me 30 min to get to the hotel ( not including hershey traffic)

Re: Where's the best place to stay Hershey?
If you find a room and I mean if, expect that they know there is a Show and have jacked the price way up.

Re: Where's the best place to stay Hershey?
Back in the day the "no rooms to be had" was the norm. We stay in Palmyra and always see vacancy signs on the way there. Only about 7 miles from the show.

Re: Where's the best place to stay Hershey?
This is my 40th. yr. going to Hershey. I tried last week( I know way too late but some stuff happens at the last minute) to get some spaces. They were sold out since May...9800 spaces. The best thing to do is try the different Hotels sometimes they have a room available for a night or two and you can move around from one Hotel to another for one night at a time.

Re: Where's the best place to stay Hershey?
We sleep in the old airport across from the roller coaster. You can just drive down and sleep in your pickup truck. There is a fee per night but i cant remember what it is because my buddy usually pays it.
