A Little Q&A Before the 2025 Hershey RV Show
“How long should I plan to stay?”
If you are new to RV shows, plan to spend three days shopping at this show. The show uses both the inside and outside space of the Giant Center. As you can imagine, there is so much to explore. (You’ll definitely get your steps and heart points!) Also, no worries if you have difficulties walking or standing for long periods of time. The event has free golf cart escorts buzzing around all day long.
“Do I need a place to stay?”
No matter what brings you to Hershey, there are several places to stay overnight in your RV within five to 30 minutes of central Hershey. Options range from resort-style accommodations to basic off-grid camping to Harvest Hosts locations. If you are coming to purchase your first RV, the family-friendly Hershey Lodge and classy Hershey Hotel are both in the immediate area, as well as several other hotel chains.
“What do I need if I’m planning to buy my first RV?”
Frankly, with all the RVs, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the options. Unless you’ve traveled in an RV before, how do you know what you will need and use? Like any other major purchase research project, diving in can lead to a black hole of websites, YouTube videos, and blogs into which you disappear and lose yourself entirely. To make the most of the show, check out these expert tips!
“Is the event just for adults?”
Absolutely not. Bring the whole family! There’s so much fun for kids of all ages, both at the show and around town. You’ll find a world-renowned chocolate factory, a full-scale amusement and waterpark, an antique car museum, great restaurants, abundant outdoor activities, local limestone caverns, as well as fantastic vineyards and wineries in the surrounding area.
“What will the weather be like in September?”
We’ve been to this show for the past four years, and every year the weather has been a bit different. Likely, it will be in the 70s to 80s during the day, but it could range from cold and raining to very hot and humid during a couple of the days. Come prepared for a bit of everything!
