Park is very easily reached off I-81. Staff was very friendly and helpful; escorted to site. You can see the current investments being put into this park(Improvements are being made). Great park for the kids! The entry/exit roads need major improvements, fees are slightly high but you can see the profits are invested, recreational activities not very well marked on site map, laser tag and pedal cart track needs attention! Overall a great park in the works! You can see the investments and potential this park has. The owners seem to have a lot of projects going on at one time; which gives the impression of unprofessional project management. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Location is convenient to I-81. Good for an overnight in the off-season, probably very nice during the summer. Huge waterslide would provide lots of fun for the kids. The road in and out is rough but manageable. Advertised WiFi was NOT available. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Low rating due to their dog policy and high charges for everything. Any breed of dog is allowed per their desk person. I asked since we had a neighbor's 10 year old daughter walking a pit bull around camp. I was told no policy on type of dogs allowed. Now without arguing are they all dangerous or not; this dog is certainly more then a ten year old could handle if it happened to be upset at other small children or dogs. I asked why firearms weren't allowed if dogs that could be only stopped by one are? No response. I just don't think this was the type of place for such an animal especially being handled by a young child. About prices, they charge for everything, a bit overboard, .75 just for 6 ounce coffee as an example. Park is kept up and clean. Sites are mostly level, and they do have lots of activities that run well. May come back but I do second guess the dog policy. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was our fourth and final visit to this campground. The campground has been under construction for all four visits. The implication is that the owners are making an effort to improve the campground and provide the ultimate camping experience for the guests. However, in reality, all improvement efforts are to increase the owner’s bottom line. There has been an addition of two water-slides. This was followed by a substantial usage fee added to the campsite prices during the “in-season.” The addition of a “new” section about two years ago has increased the number of campsites by 50, plus five cabins. Little, if any, improvement has been made to the narrow roads leading to the newer section where the larger campers and rigs are assigned. This visit was a particular disappointment and the proverbial “straw” in a series of unfortunate events. Reservations were made in January for one of the Halloween weekends, which are considered holiday weekends and must be paid in full with a strict cancellation policy. A call the day before our visit to get our campsite was taken by an office employee whose interest in customer service was minimal. She was unable to find my reservation initially and wanted to exert as little effort in the process as possible. Upon arrival at our site, we were advised by the escort that management did not want campers to use any of the area covered by hay. It seems the “new” sites had recently been excavated, fertilized and seeded. It’s important to note that the sites themselves are very narrow (another effort to house as many campers as possible). The area covered with hay was about 75-80% of the site. What remained was a small gravel section of 24 feet by about 12 feet. We were directed to read the handout in the package we received upon arrival. We asked to speak with the operation director, who was dispatched to our site. A request to be moved to another site was denied because it is their policy. In all fairness they did offer a full refund if we left within the hour, but we opted to stay. Little effort was made to accommodate or console us. I believe there is an expectation in renting a campsite, that the campsite should be usable in its entirety. This was one of the Halloween weekends, and the number of people made it an unpleasant experience all around. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park has really went downhill.Took the kids here for a Halloween weekend as we have in the past,all it seems we did was wait in lines.The judging for the kids costumes took forever,the lines for the haunted trail was two hours wait.Used to assign you times but I guess they do not have the staff for this.Went to the kids dance, never have I seem so much alcohol in my life at a kids dance, no staff were ever present except rec. staff which are young kids.Used to give rain coupons, well it rained over one inch one nite and never got a coupon.All this park seems to worry about is the bottom line,not the campers experience.Stayed in the new section,was told do not get on the grass,we just hydro-seeded.Our rig we were told where it had to be setting, not one hook-up was close and the new sites are so close it looks like a refugee camp,this used to be a great place,but;the owners are not visible anymore and the staff is horrible.This is our last stay ever at this place. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground is a nice campground for familys. The road to the campground has gotten better but a large MH with toad would make the curves interesting. The site we had was in the back and took me forever to get level. The one thing this CG does need to do is widen or add another road after you pass the office. There are so many kids and cars on that narrow road you have to navigate very carefully to miss the kids and cars. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Our site was in back, very hard to level. We had to move to other site after calling front office. This park is more interested in kids/families rather than RV'ers. Stayed one night, would stay again if nothing else available. Towing vehicle with 40 footer was very close in getting into main road to park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Our 13 and 8-year-olds really liked this park, mainly because it is very active. The water slides were a plus and fairly busy on Saturday during the day - but nothing more that what you'd find at a typical waterpark. It calmed down by Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning was great. We'd easily spend more than $7 a person for a couple hours at a water park elsewhere. Best sites for anything larger than 25' are #200 to #219, which are a bit more expensive, but worth the price. They're a bit close together, but they're level and you're away from the action. Our 31' got squeezed into a short site which had shade and was kind of level, but was a bit too close to our neighbors for comfort and right in front of the bike rentals. The campground was clean overall and its cable system features lots of channels. The staff members were friendly - a guide escorted us to our site when we got there and printed out maps of local sights when asked. The campground is close to Antietam National Battlefield and Harper's Ferry. We'd go back, but probably later in the year. They are a Good Sam park . We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The new water slide/pool is great but it needs to be about 3 times larger to accommodate the amount of people using it. By the end of the day the water was looking very nasty. The kids activities were plentiful but I was surprised to pay extra for the two main craft items after already paying the activity fee. Over all nice, well kept, friendly staff, but pricey for what you get. The big rig spaces were small and very close together. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The only reason this park didn't get a 10 was due to the rate. Its quite high due to the "per person" activity charge. For a family of 5, this substantially adds to the site rate! I realize they need to finance the new improvements, but this was quite a lot for a campground in a rural area. To be fair, the activities were endless. The new pool and water slide were fantastic - just as many adults used the slide as the kids! The kids loved the paint-your-own ceramics and "create-a-critter" and our teenager enjoyed hanging out at the dance with his new friends. Our site was not in the big rig section, and it was huge with lots of shade. The staff was very friendly and the bathrooms were very clean. This is a great place for families! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Yogi Bears campground at Williamsport is quiet and mostly unoccupied today. There are wooded tent and cabin sites, but the larger trailer parking is in a large open area with gravel roads. Sewer connection risers are real risers, sticking up 8 to 12 inches out of the ground, making the sewer almost having to run uphill. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The Yogi Bear Jellystone Park is not where it is supposed to be according to the Streets and Trips map program. And when you exit from Northbound I-81, the signs are confusing. There are signs for Yogi Bears at the exit, but at the first intersection, there is a blue tent camping sign that leads off to the wrong direction (go straight, don't turn!). We ended up on a small two lane road with no opportunity to turn around and ended up going past where we needed to be and circling around to get back to the campground. We finally found a trucking company and asked for directions and the driver said we weren't the first to get confused by the signs at the freeway exit. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Each of my family members rated this campground as his or her favorite so far! The amenities included made for a fun stay. Upon arrival we received a map and list of daily activities. Some of the scheduled events included wagon rides and candy bar Bingo--what fun for the children. The Jellystone workers were very nice and helpful. The man driving our hay ride was exceptionally kid-friendly and kind. My children loved seeing Yogi, Cindi, and Boo-Boo bear. Our site was near the pool and outdoor theatre. If you don't want the noise form these ,select another spot. For us, we loved the action and didn't mind any noise. We liked being so close to everything. We also didn't mind the extra $7 fee for activities. It's less than a movie ticket and includes everything there except golf carts! My husband and I played mini golf, went on the hay ride, and watched the movies right along with the kids. Everything was a blast and well done. There was no construction noise during our stay; maybe they're about finished. Loved it! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This is a fabulous family campground. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The grounds are well kept and nice. The facilities are great. The activity list is extensive. The price is high due to the $7/person/night in addition to the cost of the site/night, but I was happy that all the amenenties were included in that price. Our biggest complaints are: (1) our site and those around us (127-131) are extremely un-level. We had to get help from the CG staff because although we had some wood and 20 lynx levelers, we couldn't get level. The bed in the front of the camper felt like a penthouse suite because it was so high. (2) They rent far to many golf carts and they are the gas variety. This causes too much traffic and too much noise! Electric carts are must more conducive to the campground environment. That being said, no place is 100% perfect and we will certainly camp here again (but in a different site)! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was our third stay at this campground, but our first since the new water slide has opened. As a result there is a new pricing policy and we were charged $7/person/night for access to the amenities. So, we paid an additional $42 (3 people x $7 x 2 nights). I highly disagree with this policy because the two adults NEVER utilized any of the amenities or participated in any of the activities. My daughter used the slides and the pool, but we never made it to the min-golf or go-karts. Our total cost for the two nights was $144, which is excessive given that we were in Williamsport, MD and not a beach front property. The previous policy was to pay for the wrist bands for those who would be using the facilities. This is a more effective approach. The campground needs to find a new way to cover the cost of their expansion and development or they are going to price themselves right out of business. We noticed that the campground was not full for the weekend, even though many children are already out of school. The pool area is still under construction and a very large commercial back-hoe was parked in front to the pool during our entire stay. It was an eye-sore and a better choice would have been to park it in the back behind the campsites for the weekend. Recent expansion of the campground has brought additional campers, but the facilities (except for the new pool) have not been expanded. The pavilion is entirely too small for the activities held there. We attended the dance Saturday night, which was great for the kids, but there was little room to dance and virtually no where for the parents to sit. (and the campground was not full.) They were selling glow sticks and jewelry, but the cash register was not functional for the entire evening and so some children were able to buy the items and others were not. The snack shop is apparently also under construction and had a limited selection of the regular snack items. While my daughter ate an ice cream, I watched the employee behind the counter turn away four people because she did not have items they requested. At one point the person behind the counter stated there was no running water in the building. (I'm certain that is a health code violation when serving food.) The attitude of the staffers seemed uptight and anxious. While most of the maintenance type employees were friendly, we found the pool staff to be rigid and unfriendly. This campground gets an A for effort and an F for execution. We loved our campsite, it was big-rig friendly and conveniently located, albeit not level. There are a ton of activities, literally something every hour. The new pool is absolutely wonderful, but short on tables and chairs. It's important to note that my seven-year old daughter thinks it's the best campground ever. We have reservations for one of the Halloween weekends and we will probably return to this campground again next year. I just hope the construction will finally be complete and the equipment will be put away. Nonetheless, I just can't justify the exorbitant cost. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great campground with lots of scheduled activities. We stayed during an amenity free weekend (could get expensive once other fee/charges are added at other times). All restrooms were clean and the campground was well patrolled. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This is a great place with tons of activities - new water park. Sites are very nice. Staff was great. We met the owners and they were awesome. It was expensive, but wonderful. The park was in a nice location. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was my family's first RV camping trip. We have two kids, 3 years. and 19 months. This was an excellent campground, hookups were great, terrific cable reception. There were two playgrounds near our site, that the kids loved. Staff was very courteous, escorted us to site and help guide me in. I don't have a lot to compare this to, but the site seemed small, however there were only two sites left when I made the last minute camping plans, so I'm sure these are the smallest. Overall it was a great place to camp with the kids and for our first trip it was a terrific experience. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Easter weekend, cold. Always a great park and continually improving. Unfortunately I noticed a change in attitude. Hopefully it was due to cold weather but most employees in passing carts neither waved, nodded or showed happy your here attitude (Overt friendliness has been the norm from the crew on carts). The counter help as usual expresses no interest in moving the line quicker. I understand were all here to relax but when units are backed up and blocking the road this is not the time to have personal conversation with the other cashier and stop ringing customers to adjust the bills in the till. The Rec staff seams to be different from last year and unfortunately are not as enthusiastic. There was little communication to the kids during the games and almost and aggravated to be here attitude. This is a great campground and i'm sure they will get back into the typical spirit once the season begins (don't have much hope for the counter staff after 5 years) We camped here in a Motorhome.
Campers will be pleasantly surprised by the improvements made since the construction of the water park. The main road has been repaved, and it is newly paved all the way back to the water park. Trees along the main entrance road have been trimmed back and it looks like some have been cut down. While we were there, dump trucks were putting down new gravel on all of the camp roads. The game rooms were being renovated, so we were not able to see what improvements are going on there. Staff was awesome, as usual! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very family-friendly park, though expensive. Friendly people. Really fun place. We like to bring the grandkids there because of the kid-friendly things to do. They like go-carts. We like the ice cream parlor. Not very great for big-rigs, unless you want a wide open site for your satellite. If you have a big rig and want a shaded or central site, make your reservation early so that you can get the one shaded site that they have for big rigs. Kids' entertainment costs extra. Be prepared. It adds up quickly. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Our kids ranked it as the best campground we visited this year. From an adult point of view, I would agree that it was a nice campground. A little pricey, but it was worth it. Staff was excellent -- very nice, escort you to the site, able to answer questions. Temps were below freezing, so they came around to turn everyone's water off and let the water hoses drain out after 10 p.m. CG is very clean. The main road used to get to campsites needs some improvements...a big mud hole in the center of the main road. This was probably from construction. New water slide and pool look VERY nice. Bathrooms/showers near office very clean. Don't think we would want to stay in the new section. Looks like a grass parking lot -- no privacy. We would stay in the "yellow" section - heavily wooded, quiet and more privacy. Sights are level and pretty easy to get into...some are tight because of large boulders and trees. We will definitely go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a very kid friendly campground. It was completely packed the weekend we were there, but the facilities seemed to keep up just fine. We stayed in the older wooded area, which I prefer over the newer sites without any shade. The rain created some major mud and puddles along the main road, so it was a bit messy. The playground is older and needs to be updated, but I do believe they are doing that during the current construction project. Great overall facilities and friendly staff. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Excellent for kids/teens - numerous activities and facilities available. Typical Jellystone campground, some gravel pull through sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.
New pool and slide are great. Paradise for our young kids. New section wide open with no shade but level and easily navigated. We will return again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We have stayed at this campground before as an overnighter. It is a very nice, neat, clean campground. The road leading into the campground is a little narrow for a large rig, but is doable. We have always been put in an area with excellent pull thrus, easily 35x60, gravel with grass and nice landscape. Cable is extended cable. The staff is friendly. They have us in the computer and after they pull us up they always say, see you have been here before, welcome back. Always ask us where we are going on this trip - nice touch. This campground is definitely very well taken care of and the owners have a lot of pride. Staff is always riding around on golf carts checking things out, picking up trash, etc. Would highly recommend this place. Actually stayed at another Jellystone assuming all Jellystones were up to this standard and found out the hard way they are not. This one is a 10. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Construction nearly complete. The waterslide and new pool were open, the new sites in the back were filled, and the main entrance had been paved. Ernesto produced a lot of rain Friday evening and into Saturday morning and as a result we received a $10 coupon for our next visit. Small kids will love all the planned activities. We have been coming here for years and the owners are reinvesting into their campground to make it better. There is plenty to see and do in the area too. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Another great time at the local campground. I'm glad to see that a lot of the construction is finally done, however there are few things left to do. I did notice on the way out there are some trees marked to be cut out which will make it easier to get out. We stayed in the new area and right now all the grass is new and there was lots of wet spots but that should be fixed next year when all the grass grows. We'll be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
4th stay at the CG. Great time as always. Waterslide will be open after state inspection, the new pool is great for the kids. We stayed in the new section, very open. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a good campground for families traveling with children, which we were not. There are many recreational opportunities for kids, which, unfortunately, include pedal go carts that are very low to the ground. Kids zip around the park and pedal right in front of cars. We stayed in the motorhome section, which is very nice, but we had to inch our way through the campground in order to avoid running over children in the go carts, unsupervised kids darting in front of cars, etc. We love kids, but this was too much. We will stay elsewhere next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The only complaints I have about this campground is the dust that the is created here by the unpaved roads and the fact that the wireless internet is hard to connect to in the big rig section and that it cost $$$. These campgrounds need to negotiate with Linkspot for fees and add it their nightly rates. We had a great time here and most probably will come back again as it is a great location for family reason's. They were undergoing construction while here but I am really glad to see this happening. Access from I-81 is fantastic. Great overnight spot or good for several days. Not too bad a place. Great shopping in Hagerstown if needed. C&O Canal access is great for biking. We camped here in a Motorhome.
When I made our reservations, no one told me that construction on the waterpark was still ongoing. It was not until we were ready to leave and I checked their website did I find out that my family would be spending their vacation at a construction site. I was not too pleased at all. Nevertheless, the staff was exceptional, with one exception. The activities that they had for the kids were great and well enjoyed. One suggestion is that when a Bear appearance is scheduled for a half hour, please make it a half hour and not 10 minutes. The cabin was great, the bathhouses clean and the hot water was plentiful. The pools are great and once the water slide and other construction are complete, this will be one fantastic park! My suggestion would be to wait until the construction projects are complete or you may be having lunch with a jackhammer in your ear. We camped here in a .

Excellent park! Very good Cable TV with 65 Channels. Tons of activities. There are golf cart rentals, but you don't see too many. The sites are very big and reasonably spaced. There is a lot to do for children. The reason I didn't give this campground a 10 was because the price was a little high especially because the water slides hadn't been completed yet. This did give us a gift card with some money back though. I would definitely recommend this campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Ching Ching, get ready to pay an extra $10 per person to use their facilities regardless of how long you are staying; in addition to already high site fees. This place looks to be a great place to camp, other than the out of control costs, when construction is complete. I was given site right behind new water slide. Unfortunately for me I visited while water slide construction was going on and was waken up at 7:00 a.m. with LOUD HEAVY construction of water slide. Not a good thing to happen on vacation when you arrived late at night and desperately needed to sleep in. There is no reason under any circumstance that my site should have been rented out with out fair warning. It was about the rudest thing that has happened to me in my adult life. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed in the newly opened sites and believe that the expansion of the campground is going to have a very positive impact. A warning: There is a LOT of construction going on that might bother some folks. We think that it is a sign of progress. It is typical Yogi Bear but we think that is a plus. When we get too old to enjoy watching children have fun, we need to come off of the road. Campground is very easy to get to off of I-81. We enjoyed ourselves. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park, while nice; was in total disarray while we stayed there. Roads are a mess, campground was dirty. We did realize construction was still ongoing and is far behind schedule. Did not refund required amenity fee, but gave you a gift card good for in this park only. Workers were very rude and were more interested in the construction rather than the comfort of campers in the park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We enjoyed another great visit with the bears. All of the planned activities are great; the kids had a lot of fun. Thanks to the rain on Friday we received a $10 off coupon for our next visit. The water park does not look to be anywhere near completion (glad we visited on the amenity free weekend). The roads need improvement (because of all of the construction) but since we just have a tent they weren't a problem to us. Our rate includes the Club Yogi Discount. We camped here in a Tent.
Overall this campground is a excellent choice for a weekend getaway. Access to the campground can be interesting a with a large rig as there are multiple trees to go around when entering the campground. The campground is in the process of installing new pool and water slide and new sites so construction is all around but this should clear up fairly quickly as the pool is about done. Since the site we had last did not have sewer we had drive around to get a dump station because the one by the pool was closed. On the weekends there is always activities for kids and this campground defiantly brings in the families. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a good location that gave us reasonable driving access to the Antietam Battlefield and the historic city of Harper's Ferry. Owners, management and staff were terrific.There was a lot of fringe season construction going when we were there. This place is very nice and will get even better with all the improvements, including what appears to be a huge water slide going in. I would stay here again. Families will love it. One constructive note. They do offer wifi but you have to pay an outside vendor to get online. They should consider making it free like so many other rv parks are doing. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We love this campground visit twice a year for the last 5 years. It was our 1st Easter weekend here and had a great time missed the adult hunt though. The park was a mess with construction and sadly for tent campers and hikers those large private wooded sites above the storage lot are all gone. Make way for the buses, hope the widen the road at the mini golf curve. The staff is like no other we have met. Though the office staff on every visit inappropriately loudly voiced dissatisfaction with an employee or customer (to another employee but none the less inappropriate). Much thought is put into the activities and i NEVER hear the kids say i'm bored or there's nothing to do. This is probably the most expensive campground we go to and it seams it will be even more so once the pool opens but on the other hand my wife and i spend all but meal time relaxing, "Yogi take me away". We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a beautiful park and well maintained. The sites are well spaced, some shaded. The staff could be a little more welcoming to arriving campers and provide park information without being asked. The only negative I would offer about the park is that they charge for WiFi. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was the first time I stayed at a Jelly Stone park and it was a great experience. The weather was not so good but the staff rearranged events in order to keep the kids happy. I even got a coupon for my next stay because of the weather. I will be back for sure. There is a lot of construction going on for the new water park. I am looking forward to that. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The entrance to this place leads you down a paved, but narrow, slightly windy road around some trees, and it can be a bit of a challenge, especially for longer RV's. Eventually, you end up in a moderately wooded area where the office and store are located. The staff are friendly, check in was easy, and we were escorted to our site along some other windy, gravel roads that led us through a variety of some very traditional, wooded sites that appear to have been there for a while. Toward the back of the campground, there is an area that is still under construction and, in the midst of that, there are what appear to be some new pull throughs. Our site was gravel, plenty long for our almost 60 feet, and we were able to get level with minimal effort. There were 2 sewer connections which could be convenient. Clearly, the place is geared for families, especially youngsters, which could be gathered from the name. We were there early in the season, so there were not too many guests of any age, but the pull-through section where we were located did fill up at night. At the moment, they are adding a water slide to the facility, and the construction equipment is very much in evidence. It should add to the overall family atmosphere once completed. I don't think we'd enjoy this place once all the children arrived but, for an overnight, it served it's purpose very well, and we'll probably stop again on our way back south in the fall. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We were given a free nights stay when we bought our new travel trailer from Four Seasons RV and we wanted to try out our local campground. We drove around till we found a site we liked. Decided on one of the big rig sites because the rest of the sites were a little unlevel. The roads were VERY rough and lots of pot holes. There was A BUNCH of construction going on because they are adding a new water park. There was TONS of noise all day into the evening. Plenty of dust and dirt also. The staff members were nice. The bathrooms could use a little cleaning, and the shower rooms needed to be cleaned. The camp store was very expensive. I doubt we would ever camp there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I liked this Campground very much. The staff was friendly, and the sites in the older part of the park were well shaded,large and level. Very quite and dark at night, everything a campsite should be. Lots of activities for kids. Nice pool and game room. Very close to Civil War Battlfields. I will stay here again when going to DC. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We have stopped at this campground many times and have had sites throughout the park. We have always found the staff helpful and courteous. The pool is great and the proximity to historic sites definitely is a plus. The addition of WIFI was a pleasant surprise on our most recent visit. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is awesome for kids! They have a lot of activities. I would like to see more organized activities, and friendly staff. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed for the 4th of July holiday weekend. Although the campground was fully booked we still had a great time and didn't feel cramped at all. Very friendly staff and very clean campground. There were tons of activities for kids and the $10 length of stay bracelet for mini-golf/peddle carts/moon bounce was a great value. We cant wait to visit again. We camped here in a Tent.
This was a great park. The campground staff is awesome. They went out of their way to make our stay special. The bathrooms and showers were very clean. There were lots of activities and we found the campground to be very quiet. We will definitely return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a very fun filled campground with lots of kid friendly activities. All of the facilities were clean and well maintained. The activities provided by the camp staff were fun and well organized. I would recommend this campground to anyone. We stayed here over the long Memorial Day weekend and plan on going back over Labor Day weekend. This is a great campground and will get even better as they plan to add a water slide next year. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We stayed here in a 26' travel trailer with our 6-year old son and two dogs in May 2005. This campground was exceptional. Everything was very clean and well kept. They had what looked to be a very nice pool (although on the small side) which had not yet opened for the season. There was also a nice mini-golf course and playground. Kids seemed to love the pedal carts that are availble although we didn't have time to try them out. They also have a large inflatable slide and jumping tent that was in operation part of the time we were there. They also are in the process of putting in a new water slide. The restrooms were exceptionally clean and the office staff very helpful - you are escorted to your site by a member of the staff. We will definitely stay here again! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very kid oriented: Movies, sports, put-put, etc... good $10 kid's deal for bike, golf and activity. Escorted to site by golfcart. Very friendly. Dirt cheap prices in campstore. Some sites definately better than others (new pull-throughs in back-middle are open). Overall, a very nice family park with kids-camp atmosphere. Easy-in/Easy-out. Great for Antidem or Harper's Ferry. Great stage stop for D.C. Trip through Shepardstown very rough due to bridge construction. (2 Adult 2 kid 2 dog) We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very kid friendly Campground. The facilities were clean and fairly maintained. Our group camped here during their Halloween weekend. Only suggestion is DO NOT show up 15 minutes before check in time. They kept pushing a $5.00 per hour early check in Fee. When we refused and decided to wait outside with our Rigs. Boy did we get some FREE entertainment with the constant verbal assault. That had to be the longest 10 minutes! This had been a favorite with our group, but after hearing from the 6 families that had the FREE entertainment, it is now OFF the List. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Although this campground provides far from a wilderness-type experience and the hiking trails are limited, it is superb for those with small children. There are many, daily "Yogi-related" activities, nightly (outdoor) movies, a separate camping area for tents (one which is more isolated and quieter than the rather congested RV sites), extremely clean (and private!) rest rooms and showers, well-maintained grounds and recreational facilities, a diverse selection of cabins, a well-equipped camp store, and a staff which escorts arriving campers to their sites and cheerfully remedies any perceived problems. Highly recommended for families! We camped here in a Tent.
Each year we visit 2-3 campgrounds a month from Easter to the Punkin chunkin in November. This is the only campground I have given a 10! This is the most well run and improved campground we have stayed in. The Owners are passionate about their career choice and it shows. There is so much for the kids to do it is truly a vacation for the adults. Lots of fresh ideas, plans, activities, uniforms and faces always a smile! Have stayed here 8 times in the last 4 years and will continue to visit can't wait to see the plans for next year and the Water slide!! The only negative is the center section near the new bath house is a bit tight to your neighbor. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Visited this park in a 40' motorhome. We found this park big rig friendly. Trees were
trimmed, roads were wide and turns not too sharp. The motorhome sites were in an open area which allowed satelite access. The sites & roads were gravel. Sites were wide enough for any number of slides. Each site had a grassy area & picnic table. This park caters to children, but remains a great park for any one. There were hourly activities for the children including an evening movie for the family. The park is very clean and quiet at night. It has a great snack bar & pool. We will definitely use this park again in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A really nice campground. A litle tight getting in because of trees, curbs, etc.,but a great "big rig" area to the back, away from all the kiddie stuff. Large, level, pull through sites and they escort you to your site. Would highly recommend. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Outstanding, family oriented campground. A great place to vacation for a week - bike /
walk C&O Canal, visit Antietam, fish the Potomac, and shop at a nearby outlet mall, to name a few. They have a great activities program. It's a bit pricey, but your kids will love it and be entertained. Staff is very friendly and helpful. In winter, after a day on the slopes, return to one of their cabins and relax. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a well run operation; from the telephone reservation to being escorted and assisted at site, we received nothing but courtesy. Lots of things to do for kids. Restrooms were immaculate. Roads a little tight but patience is all that was required. Our weekend was soaking wet but who cares? Will go back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
