We spent 4 nights here because Knoebels was booked full and it was the company picnic weekend. The staff was friendly, and it was a nice quiet campground. Made it here after dark and pretty much at the time the staff was going home. Checked in and they offered to stick around and help get us backed in if I needed it, although that wasn't necessary. Nice little stream running very close that the kids and dog played around in on the last day. The sole purpose of the trip was to spend time at the amusement park, which was less than 5 minutes away. I wouldn't hesitate for a moment though to come back to this park just to relax. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was our fourth time here. They do have weekly or monthly rates which make it less expensive. While not a fancy park it is very well maintained and the owners and their family take pride in the place, are very friendly and helpful. Lots of shade but trees are very well trimmed for big rigs. Also plenty of open space and room for groups to have active games. Nice mini-golf, playground and pool - with a lifeguard! New free Wi-Fi this year and it works great! Small selection of food and RV parts in the office and a Creme-freeze across the street. We plan to return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had been trying to get to J & D for two years and finally found reservations for this past month. The park is VERY clean and quiet. Knoebels Amusement Park (wonderful by the way) is literally down the street from the campground, big plus if you have children. The pool was small but perfect for the children. Ice cream shop right across the street is nice. Our first impression was not that great because of the small office. Our site (16D) was also right across the dumpsters and hubby was not happy. A different site was offered a day later but by that time we had been set up and settled and we all know that that's not an easy thing to do. But with every disappointment, comes a bright side. We discovered a wonderful river right past the dumpsters and spent some time reading there. Overall, a nice park and would recommend it. Just don't expect it to look as nice as the website because it's not. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed here this past weekend and really enjoyed the surroundings. Grounds were spotless, and the sites were a decent size. We were along the stream, in a E/W/S site, and they were a little close, but very deep, so you still had room to spread out. There is a little bit for every kind of camping from tent to diesel pushers. Showers and bathrooms were very clean, and people were constantly cleaning. They do have a shuttle to the amusement park, but we decided to drive. Cellular use was fine. They also built a new office at the entrance and have a very well stocked store, and prices were reasonable; ice was $2.00 a bag. People were friendly and helpful, and security was present. Stream is stocked with trout. Only problem was that the playground needs to be upgraded. We will definitely be back here in the future. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We have stayed here numerous times to visit Knoebel's Amusement Park. We would not be coming here if it weren't for the theme park. It is a basic, fun place to hang when not at the park. They offer a free shuttle we have never used: just as easy to drive the 5 minutes and park for free. They are building an impressive new camp store. There is a stream that meanders through the campground. My kids love wading in and catching crayfish. A pool would make this place ideal. We would go to the park down the road, but they do not allow tents and a few of our friends that go with us tent camp. We stayed on Knoebel's Drive, site 80. Had a small stream and shade. We will be back for the park! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Just like most of the other comments - no real reason to stay here unless you are going to the park. The cc itself does not have much to offer. Been staying here for 5 years now. Highly recommend not staying near the pavilion. Whenever there is a function here the place gets lit up like a Walmart parking lot at night. At the time of our latest stay there was a 50th wedding anniversary going on that lasted well in to the night. A lot of rowdies from the party stayed up partying until 3am. There was no security around to subdue the behavior. Also, the lady working the desk could have been more pleasant. When checking in we found her to be pretty rude. So much so that even my 7 year old said something about her. She could use some lessons on customer service. Will think twice about staying here next year. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed at this campground and had a wonderful experience. The NEW owners were wonderful and very helpful. They are VERY family friendly. We were very happy to see they enforce a speed limit to ensure children are safe always. They pride themselves on cleanliness and making sure there is something for everyone. They have an AWESOME staff and we can't wait to come back here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I think the only good thing about the park was the sites were level and most sites have a concrete pad with a table. First let's start with the restrooms/showers. They are dark, dirty, and just plain outdated. There is a sink mounted low on wall of the men's bathroom which is being used as a urinal. The playground is new and is nice however the campground's High Voltage shed is very close. The shed has very poor wiring noted to be coming out in all directions and the door is barely hanging on its hinges with a sign posted "High Voltage. Do Not Enter." Seemed like an easy place for poorly attended children to get hurt. The roads are full of potholes and are too narrow for anything much larger than my 27 ft travel trailer. The grass was not cut on our site as it was calf height on me and knee high on my six year old son. It appeared that it is up to the seasonals/fulltimers to cut the grass and that only gets done on Saturdays. We were awakened by some of the seasonals cutting grass at 6 A.M. on Saturday. The sewer pipes are above ground and run all over the park. They are only dug under the roadways. The hookups are sideways and leak no matter how tight you try to get your connection. The seasonals seemed to have combated this problem with the use of duct tape. The campground is full of seasonal/fulltimer sites that are long overdue for an eviction. Most of the seasonal campers are rude and do not appear to like weekend campers (outsiders) at all. There may have been a nice brook behind the campground at one time but not anymore. If you can find a spot to get to the brook between the seasonal sites you will only find a ditch at best that is lined with trash and some tires. We will definitely not be back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
