A Volunteer Managed Camp
For almost 60 years, Camp Catherine has been a resource to Scout and Youth Organizations looking for a Camp Site near Hershey. We provide reasonably priced camping and event facilities for your youth organization’s day camp and overnight camp type activities.
Because we are open year round Camp Catherine is unique in its offerings which are, but not limited to: winter camping, open area tent camping, covered camping, lodge cooking and meeting facilities, pavilion cooking and picnicking, hiking trails, 7 campfire rings, wildlife viewing, archery classes, creek side trails, fishing, swimming and wading, nearby boating and canoeing, programs on local plant and wildlife recognition, and easy access to major entertainment venues. These are only some of the benefits of staying at Camp Catherine.
Camp Maps
Because Camp Catherine is a shared site, much like a KOA would be, with common area facilities, as well as specific areas that are reserved for fee, consult our Camp Maps to see the different bookable site areas along with common areas.
