Overall, the facility very nice. When we arrived late on Saturday, they were having their annual Christmas Parade (in October). They had several "characters" and Santa for the kids. My daughter was overjoyed after spending 13 hours in the truck to see Santa. They had free Christmas cookies for all the families and a gift for every child. In the main hall, they have a very interesting antique pipe organ and were playing Christmas carols. The campground does have many permanent campers set up, but they were very well maintained. The landscaping was very nice and we were in a very private spot. Be aware though, there are some areas that are not shaded and the sites are fairly close together. The pool was closed for the season, but it appeared to be very nice. The bathhouses were very clean, probably not used very much. The downsides: there is a rock quarry close by. During the weekend it's not an issue, but 6:00 every morning, they started crushing rock and it was loud. I was awake every morning from all the racket, and one morning at about 6:30 they were blasting, which was very loud. They are also "in the boonies". We were prepared, but one evening we wanted to go to town to eat and it was a 30 minute drive. They are also about 30 minutes from the main "Amish" area. But, the campground is located in the more Mennitie area and the farms were still beautiful. Lastly, they have many, many rules. I understand why they have all the rules and it does make for a better overall campground, but it takes away some of the flexibilities of camping. For example, their are absolutely no refunds. We left 2 days earlier than our reservation because of a large approaching snow storm, plus we had already seen all there was to see. We lost $100, but it was better than getting stuck in the snow. I also heard from a fellow camper they check your meter before you leave to be sure you didn't use too much electricity. They have a rule of no electric heaters, fryers or water heaters. Not sure about the surcharge for using extra electricity since we were on all gas, but I would check with the office. If it wasn't for the rock quarry and the no refund policy, I would have given them a 9 to a 10. We will probably go back, but only reserve for a few nights instead of a week. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Terrific campground! The entire campground is immaculate. The bathrooms, showers, pool.... everything is sparkling clean! The kids had a blast participating in the campground activities, swimming and fishing. One reason I did not give it a 10 is that they do not have soap or hand sanitizer in the bathrooms. The other reason is that if you rent one of their golf carts they do not allow you to drive it at night and you must walk pretty far to get to the entertainment hall if your site is in the 100 to 400 area and want to participate in bingo, bonfires, Saturday night entertainment. They should equip the golf carts with lights if they want you to rent them. Otherwise, the place was great. We will definitely be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This Park has made many capital improvements since our last time here 2 years ago. Most Roads now blacktop, and our site (187) was newly refurbished with concrete pad and gravel surround. EWSC all were easily accessible. Nice wooded area around the site gave some seclusion. Landscaping of the grounds, with beds of flowers is beautiful, and a nice touch. On our walks around, yes there are lots of seasonals, but all nicely kept that we saw. Love the pool setup, well done mini golf, and the "Gnome Cafe" makes some good sandwiches. This would be a ten, but the quarry noise (a daytime "grinding" noise in the distance) from up the road takes just a bit away. We got to hear a dynamite blast around 1:30pm Tuesday as we left. That was a surprise! Still, we'll be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

After 3 years of camping at various campgrounds, we decided to try a seasonal site this year at this campground. It has been a wonderful experience and we plan to renew our contract for next year. The family that runs this campground makes you feel like family and the long term seasonal campers went out of their way to make you feel welcome. Planned activities are fun. This campground is close to all local attractions from Hershey to Lancaster to Adamstown. What a find in Pennsylvania! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed in the D Section on site D-26 and found our site to be very comfortable. If it wasn't for the steep hill, we would have given Oak Creek a 10 ! The staff was very friendly and professional. They have a nice well stocked store that is reasonably priced an offers most anything you could need. The restrooms were exceptionaly clean and well maintained. During our stay we had heavy rain that washed out the gravel on a few of the roads. The staff immediately responded with fresh gravel and a tractor to regrade the roads effected. We would definately stay with them again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here in mid-July of 2009 and enjoyed the wooded sites. Our site was too narrow for our liking. The campground consists of a lot of seasonal sites that appeared to be well kept. Our biggest issue with this campground was the fact that the pool, game room, and store were down the big hill and not real close to our site. It was quite a hike back and forth with the kids. Not sure we will return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Campground is on a hill but it is managable. There are a lot of permanent sites but the campers looked well taken care of and the people were friendly. The pool is very large and clean with picnic tables, umbrellas, and chairs around it. The playground was decent but setting in sand instead of wood chips so our children didnt really enjoy it. We camped up in the top area in a pull through. The site was nice and pretty level. We had shade trees even though the area is out of the woods. Overall its a great place to camp we just wish that they had more for our children to do. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice campground. Has a small pool and small store with a variety of items. Staff was friendly. Some sites are a bit tight, but the newer section had wider sites. Has a steep hill to pull the trailer up at the entrance that is a bit intimidating and not one much fun to walk up after a trip to the store and pool. Lots of activities for kids to do. Only downfall was we went with friends and thought we were side by side but ended up across from each other on an angle due to a mix up in reservations. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A very hilly campground with lots of permanent campers. Probably 30 sites are available on a temp basis. Called on a Thursday and got a site the next day, close to the entrance, but that wasn't a bad thing, considering the hill. This is not a campground to bike at, some of the hills rival a ski slope. The staff was friendly, the pool is big, the permanent campers were nice as well. The small pond has lots of 4" sunnies in it. They had an entertaining pig roast and a Hawaiian party on Saturday night. We'll be back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
