Nice basic campground five minutes from Knoebel's Amusement Park. We stayed in Section E, in a site that was well manicured and surrounded by nice shade trees. Park had a nice "country" feel and was quiet. The bath house facilities were dated, but mostly clean and acceptable. Staff was courteous, attentive, and helpful. We would definitely recommend this campground and would stay here in the future. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We heard about Knobels amusement park from the PA visitors center, and decided to visit Knoble's. We had planned to go to the Knobel's campground but saw this one along the way and it looked like our kind of place from the road. It has mostly sites with mature shade trees. It has a nice playground and a nice fishing pond. They have a new row of sites that have new trees and good 50 amp service. Our satellite TV and satellite internet worked great from one these sites. The whole campground is pretty much level with great paved roads for bike riding. (The new section's road isn't paved yet, but I bet it will be soon.) Their information said they didn't have any pull-throughs, but it looked like 4 of the sites in the new area were pull-through sites. All the rest are definately back-ins. There was a huge seasonal area, but all the campsites were tidy. Not a scary seasonal area like you see in some campgrounds. Actually most of seasonal sites had RV's but no people, so I'm guessing people from the area rent a seasonal site for the summer, put their RV out there and go for the weekends. We'll definately go back there some day when we are in the northeast again. We arrived late on Tuesday, took the kids to Knobel's that night then decided to stay an extra night so the kids could go back to Knobel's the next day. Knobel's is about a mile from the campground and our kids loved it all! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is very close to Knoebels, which is the best thing about it. We were not advised that you are not allowed to set up tents until after we had paid for the five days we stayed. The campground literature even shows a picture of a tent. The pool was nice, but there is NO shade available, except for the lifeguard. There are two bathroom facilities. One is a lot nicer than the other one. There are also scheduled activities for the family and the children. We liked the campground, but felt that there were too many "rules" and that families were not as welcome in general. The majority of the guests were elderly. Also, we found that a few of the seasonal guests were a little rude. They allowed their pets to roam freely in our campsite and we had one guy visit us late at night a couple times, without being invited. We won't stay here again because we think there are better campgrounds in the immediate area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great overall campground. Very clean and friendly staff. Close proximity to Knoebel's Amusement Park. Very family friendly campground, nice pool. Would definitely stay there again! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is easy to get in and out of. The campground is clean with blacktop, gravel, and grass. It is located just a mile from the greatest amusement park in the world, Knoebels. We go here at least once a year and sometimes more. Definitely a keeper. We camped here in a Motorhome.
