Mostly a trailer park in the section open now, including decrepit former school busses and the like. The place is a dump really, with nasty facilities. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Electric service to site was not correct. Refrigerator would only run from LP. 30amp plug when removed from electric pedestal was extremely hot. Sewer hookup was partially clogged and had previous occupant spills around it. Also fresh water hookup was in same concrete well as the sewer hookup. Many permanentseasonal residents. Many of these resident's trailers and rigs where in great need of repair. Would not stay at this campground again. We camped here in a camper.
The seven level pull-throughs at the front of this campground are at a premium and they do not have sewer hookups. Only the back-in sites have sewer available and the other pull-throughs are not particularly level. In our opinion, the bathrooms are inadequate for the number of sites and are very dated and were not terribly clean when we were here. The owners are very friendly. However, not all of the check-in staff are particularly cordial or accommodating. We felt that this campground was over-priced for the quality of the accommodations. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park has so much for children to do. We stayed here for three days and had a lot of fun. The kids had their time, and we had ours. There is a lot to do nearby this location. We saw staff members regularly, and they always stopped to talk with us for a minute or two to see if we were enjoying our stay and to offer a few suggestions for activities. Great area and although very crowded, a good relaxing stay. We felt welcomed and appreciated. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We are here now for an event at Carlisle. This is a great park. I have never seen so much green space for walking your dog. We are in the back of the park and it has been very quiet. Everyone is very friendly. Will definitely come back here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice, clean, shady, well established park. Lots of daily activities when we were there on Father's Day weekend plus minature golf and a game room. Well stocked in-camp store as well as very close stores, restaurants etc. just outside of camp. The only issue we had was the size of the sites we were at. All of our group's sites were very narrow and most required additional water hoses to reach the spigots. One of our group had a slide-out on their travel trailer and the site was so narrow that when they put out the slide out there wasn't any room for their awning to be extended because the site was so narrow. At the site next to ours, the fire ring was three feet from our sewer hookup. Just be certain that the staff understands the specifications of your RV as there are other sites with enough room. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
If you want a roomy site, forget it. Our site was so tight that when we opened our awning, it was 2 inches from touching the camper beside us! When making the reservations, the staff asks for the size of your camper, therefore they know how big your camper is. However, they still stuck us in this tight spot and refused to let us move to another site. Once we got in our spot, we couldn't pull our camper out because it was so tight. This was a nice campground as far as activities, pool, etc. I would stay again if they had bigger sites. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a nice clean park with a friendly staff. There are a lot of trees which provide shade but they do make it a little tough for roof-top satellite reception. The WI-FI is available to only the sites near the office. They are pet friendly and even supply pick-up bags and dump boxes. The park is far enough away from Interstate 81 to be quiet but coming in off of exit 44 the road is a little rough. All of the facilities seem to be well kept. The sites are fairly level and the interior roads are gravel. The pull thru site that we stayed in had 30/50 amp service and water but did not have sewer. When in the area we would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Would I stay again? Maybe. All sites are gravel with grass strips between sites. Not very big sites and not all have sewer. I have a 45' class a and most sites would be impossible for me. Lots of trees = poor sat reception, but who comes here to watch tv. No one, since cable is not available either. We camped here in a Motorhome.
At site #189 all hookups were to the far rear of the site so we had to join two hoses for sewer. The electric connection was OK. The water hookup was grouped with two other sites quite a way from my coach so we needed a twenty five and a fifteen foot hose to get hooked up. It is a nice clean campground. There are some seasonal sites but all were well kept. The restrooms were adequate but more shower and water closets would help. It is a very quiet site. We will camp there again for the Ford Nationals at Carlisle. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Adequate for an emergency stopover. Sewer connections at extreme rear of sites. Exit turn near impossible for large rigs. No wifi obtainable from/at our site. Designed for rigs less than 40' in our opinion. Has the image of an older trailer park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice, quiet location outside of town. Easy access to I-81. Most sites are close together. Some level sites on gravel. Men's restroom and showers are "locker room" style; kind of open, but functional. Nice shade and amenities. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Lovely pool, but the campsites were very close. Also, it was not possible to access our sewer hookup at our site. The campfire rings sit on a hill and are definitely not inviting. Overall disappointment with this campground as I was given the impression that I had been given a discount (not true) on the phone and that I could get wifi at the site. I was able to get wifi only by walking to a pavilion. Just felt that I hadn't been dealt with well. Many permanent residents there too. We would definitely not return here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Ok campground. We are glad we made reservations way back at the beginning of February for Memorial Weekend. Campground was very busy. Are only complaint was a group of about 15-20 people next to us did not understand quiet hour was at 11:00 pm. They will still going strong well after 1:00 am. Will probably stay here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We stayed here for an overnight. It was convienant to I-81 and the Penn Turnpike. Sites were level, electic and water worked well even in the freezing temperture, and the check in was smooth. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Just so-so. We stayed one night and the site was ok, around a big grassy center. Lots of seasonals with decks. The site was too short to stay hooked up and it was hard to park sideways in front of our rig. Clean and lots of trees. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was our third time at this campground. It is very conveniently located for traveling through PA. Amenities are certainly limited, but it is a good stopping place to rest, do laundry, or spend a few nights sightseeing, as there is much history in the surrounding areas. We have always found it clean and well-maintained. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice place very clean and the owners are helpful to accommodate and make your visit a 100% favorable memory of the good part of Pa. Wooded lots. Close to Carlisle Fair grounds and cars shows. I highly recommend. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We have stayed in this park, pull through three different times going and returning from wintering in Brownsville, Texas. We like the park, safe and quiet, showers great. Supplies available in store. Not many parks open in November and April between Ottawa, Ontario and Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Able to drive there in about 12 hrs. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Stopped for an overnight enroute from NE PA to NC. Easy off Route 81. We were there in the off, early season. Everything worked great. Nice sites. Staff were pleasant. Well manacured campground. Will go back when we have a free weekend. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice campground. Enjoyed our stay. Couldn't get reservations at any Gettysburg campgrounds so this was a nice second choice. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice campground for a reasonable price. They have a store that is well stocked. The bathrooms were clean but could use some updating. Our only problem with this campground was that its difficult to use their dump station. Its located on a very narrow lane and campers can't pass around you while your dumping. We had to wait for people to move their parked vehicles so that we could dump. Other than that we had an enjoyable stay here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Present owners have only owned the park since 2003. They are new to the campground industry but learned quickly to inter-act with traveling campers. It is a very pretty park and we were well taken care of. Their office personnel were very friendly and helpful. It is conveniently located to the interstate. We would recommend this park to our friends. We camped here in a Tent.
We only stopped here for an overnight. It worked out very well for that purpose. The
staffperson on duty was somewhat curt. There are a lot of seasonals. The pull-thrus for the overnighters are right near the gate, quite close together. It was easy to get our fifth-wheel in & out. The place was quiet (we were there off-season). We would stop over here again, although we might not choose it as a destination. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The restrooms and showers were filthy, especially the ladies, which also smelled bad. We were there two days, and the ladies side was never cleaned - did see a male employee enter the men's room to clean, but he didn't do much to improve the conditions. A woman who had been camping there about 6 days said the last time the ladies room had been cleaned was the previous Monday...we arrived on Friday. Staff was friendly enough, but not at all attentive to the condition of the facilities. Definitely will not stay here again. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Sites are fairly close, hookups very accessible. Gravel roads, grass sites with a 2'x 2' carpet or mat limit. Bath houses clean, with a laundry. Convenient to fairgrounds, close to interstate. Management refused to quiet drunken campers across from us even though complaints received from several sites. When we spoke to them about changing sites or enforcing their rules about quiet time, they made us feel at fault for complaining. Campground is excellent, management and staff is poor. Would not stay there again because of staff. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
