The site was very unlevel. I needed 5 inches of lynx levelers on one side to level the travel trailer. The campground needs a little TLC but in overall good condition. We lost power and water for about an hour during the weekend. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed at Triple Brook during this past Columbus Day weekend during a visit to relatives nearby. It was a reasonable CG. It certainly had many amenities (pool – but wrong time of year for us, mini golf, tennis court, pretty good store). The staff, while somewhat friendly, had a touch of attitude – “I just work behind the counter”. Perhaps this was due to the holiday weekend. There are many seasonals at this CG, but it’s also very large so not a problem. It looked as though many of the sites were grass. Not bad except for level. I noticed than many of us had about 4-5 inches of leveler on one side of the camper. Also, driving through the snaking road on the CG , there were several ruts and nearby tress on a steep upgrade, which if you combined a couple poor maneuvers and unfortunate orientation, would lean your camper right into an unforgiving tree. No reason for poor roads in a “resort” CG. This is a gated CG so it gives you a secure feeling. You need to stop for a token at the front desk to re-enter. Problem is, if you decide to leave for say ice cream after the front desk closes (like 6pm on Sunday), you can’t get back very easily (try to find a worker, explain, etc.) If you have children, be prepared for a $5/child/day charge. These folks have surpassed KOA’s pricing scheme, especially since we didn’t have time to use the goodies. Would we stay again? “Only if I stuffed the kids in the trunk” to get past the gate.

This was a great park to visit, especially if kids are included. They had a lot of events for kids and equipment for checkout for all types of sports. The park is clean, and taken care of. the folks are friendly, and helpful. They surprised me. We got back to the park late one evening and our son decided to stay over instead of driving home. He got up early the next morning and drove back to the city. I went to let the office know he stayed over and to pay for his night with us. I was told, most folks wouldn't have bothered, and not to worry about it as he arrived late and left early. The overnight charge for an adult guest is $15. For that alone they should get a 10, and would if there was 50 amp. 30 amps were sufficient, A/C was not needed. The only issue we had and it is not the campground, but turning on Nightingale watch out for the low hanging tree branch. It is not low enough to damage any roof equipment, but it did hit our Radio and CB Antenna. This was an easy drive to NYC and Bayonne, about an hour and ten minutes. We will definitely stay here in the future when visiting family. We camped here in a Motorhome.
My family and I camped at Triple Brook and were pleasantly surprised. It was a beautifully kept campground. The bathrooms were clean and showers were pretty clean. They have a farm, row boats w/lake, two pools, hot tub, and many activities for the kids. Our site was shaded and spacious. The employees were very pleasant and friendly. I would definitely recommend this campground to everyone. We will be going back again this month I am sure. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
20 years of camping I have always shied away from commercial campgrounds and opted for state parks due to cleanliness and seclusion. We just bought our 1st pop-up camper (we always tent camped) and decided to try it out for a quick one night test and randomly chose TripleBrook. There isn't enough I can say about this campground! CLEAN odor free restrooms meticulously maintained, clean campsites, excellent to pretty good seclusion depending on the particular site (the P sites where we stayed are the best), friendly staff, 2 pools, a jacuzzi, good prices in the convenience store, nice people camping there. 2 thumbs up! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
