First time visiting this park - we stayed in the Canadian section (Manitoba) which I would recommend as this area is a bit more spread out. Only hookup is electric, but there are water spouts available for filling up throughout the campground. Bathrooms in the campground were not very clean and we used our own toilet and shower. Quiet hours are 11pm-8am; however, they aren't enforced and the other campers were yelling, making noise, dogs barking until well after 12:30am. Short walk to the amusement park - the walk back is difficult (uphill) but there are shuttles available if you prefer. I've never seen so many dogs in a campground before and they are allowed in the amusement park as well. Amusement park didn't open until 11am and we are the type who like to get up and going early before the heat of the day. Park was crowded but lines were moving pretty fast. Food was good. More reasonably priced than most park foods and lots of variety. I recommend the Alamo for a nice sit-down full service meal (air conditioned)- we were $30 for a family of four. Bathrooms in the park were dirty and smelled. Would go again, but try the sister-campground of Lake Glory for it's full-hookup sites. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This is a bare bones basic campground. No sewer hook ups. Sites are large, but not very wooded. I wouldn't call the bathrooms dirty but they did smell. This park is really just a spot to stay while going to the amusement park. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.
What a fantastic place! I grew up going to the amusement park, but had never camped there. The campground is connected to the amusement park. I would recommend staying in the Canadian section as the sites are larger and not so close together. The sites in the America section are much tighter (like sardines actually) and I don't know if I would've been as happy up there. Canadian sites are at the back of the campground, but still an easy walk to the entrance to the park, but there is also a shuttle bus to take you to the entrance. Very pet friendly. Pets are even allowed in the amusement park! Bath houses and showers were clean considering the amount of people using them, I was pleasantly surprised. The only hook-up is electric. You need to fill your holding tank with water upon arrival. We had never had to do that before and needless to say, I didn't conserve enough and we ran out of water within 24 hours. The only option at that point was to hook up and go get more or fill one of those blue holding tanks on wheels for a refill, but we didn't have one. Very family friendly and safe. A great place. We will return to camp again next year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
There is a group of us who camp here every year in the beginning of May when the park opens for the season. At this time there are generally lots of open sites, but the water park is not yet operative. The amusement park is free to enter, tickets are required for the rides. Two big wooden roller coasters, that are just awesome, are the main attraction. The campsites are mostly close together, but there are some more spacious and secluded sites around the perimeter. Well stocked camp store and a few mini-marts close by for supplies. Of course, everyone comes here for the amusement park, not to just camp, so you don't spend much time at the site except at night. A wonderful place to spend a few days, very refreshing when compared to the big corporate amusement parks. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This RV park has one thing going for it; the closeness of the amusement park. It makes it easy to stop by the camper to get a snack or take a break. Otherwise there isn't much to see here. Weekends are very crowded and it can get noisy. I typically stay here mid week or before the summer season gets into full swing. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The great thing about this park is that it is rignt next to Knoebel's amusement park and you can walk from your site to the park. The campground itself is only average. You need to stop when you check in to fill your water tank as there are no water hookups. The bathrooms are not very nice. You need to keep pushing a button to get any water,which is only lukewarm. The showers are private but the top is open and on the other side are toilets. So you may be lucky as I was and have someone using the toilet on the other side who had too much to drink and eat the night before. You could hear and smell everything. There is a postage size swimming pool so if you really want to use a pool,you need to go to the amusement park and pay to use the large pool they have there. They do have a camp store which was well stocked. There are no other activities as they want you to spend all your time at the park. Our site was a decent size but there were other sites that were very tight. We had to leave early and they were nice enough to give us a refund for the additional two nights left. This is a good place to stay if you want to spend a lot of time at the amusement park but I wouldn't stay here for any other reason. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Campground next to their very nice, old time amusement park. When I arrived I followed signs to the campground which wanted me to go over a covered bridge that is 11'6 & I'm 12'2", no way to turn around, had to unhook towed. Sites are all shaded, none have sewer or water hookups or cable, they do have a dump station. There are no TV channels that come in and there are too many trees at most sites for satellite. The roads are dirt and there is a lot of mud when it rains. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Knoebels is a fantastic, family-friendly place -- I would highly recommend visiting and staying here. We stayed at the Lake Glory campground, which is a very big place. It is nestled in the hills and we arrived after dark -- I would recommend arriving during daylight. This area received flooding rains about a month before our arrival and the campground and amusement park recovered very well from the flooding. The only downside to the campground was the bathroom facilities. Otherwise, the amusement park and the campground are highly recommended. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The sites only have electric, but for 5 years in the same site, I do not mind, the park is worth it. This campground is nice if you stay on the Canadian Provinces where the sites are fairly level and big. Knoebels Park is the BEST amusement park for families. Disney has nothing on this place. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great place to camp with kids! They offer two campgrounds. Knoebel's Campground is next to Knoebel's Amusement Park. We camped next to a wooden rollercoaster, which the kids thought was really cool. It only took minutes to walk to the park from our site. Admission into the park was free and the rides and food were all very reasonably priced. Lake Glory is a newer campground which offers full hook-ups. A free shuttle takes you into the park. The staff were all very friendly and we found the park very charming. We will camp here every year! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I had a great time here. I stayed on Georgia lane. The bathrooms very dated in the one closest to site. The shower toilet facilities behind are a little newer. You have to push a button in to get 10 seconds of water or hold with one hand to shower. The toilets are behind the showers with an open ceiling. The sites are not that level. Everything else was great. This camp is in a beautiful area with a fun and friendly amusement park. The staff were friendly. If this place had better bathrooms and water at site it would rate a 10 plus. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was our third annual trip to Knoebels and we enjoy it even more each time. So much so we scheduled another trip in August. We prefer the "Canadian Provinces" section of the campground as those sites are generally larger but not as much tree canopy. The older sections seem a bit crowded but are nestled amongst the trees. With the amusement park and pay pool/slide area, this place is simply awesome. Not having water at each site is a nuisance - hence the "9" rating. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This campground has direct access to Knoebel's Amusement Park - some people actually
wanted to camp by the rollercoaster! Very Family oriented! We went with a church group - Everyone from toddlers to Adults can enjoy the rides, and Carousel
horse and coal mine museums as well. Also, the food available in the park is much better than most amusement parks, priced reasonably. The roads in the
campground can be either gravel or blacktop, and the sites are rather tight together. But if you have kids, this is a great spot for a weekend! This was our
second time, and we plan to go again in the future. We camped here in a Tent.

This campground is amazing! This was our first time of many years to come. You don't have to pay to get into the amusemment park like most parks. You can ride individual rides or buy a wristband, or just walk to enjoy the sceenery. You could see the teen-age kids felt totally comfortable here. Totally family oriented, very inexpensive inside the park (4 drinks and lrg pizza $20.00 cheap to eat, remember this is a campground connected to an amusement park). The kids could ride their bikes around the campground without worry on our part or theirs. All the roads inter-twine into each other, so there's is no getting lost for anyone. The only thing bad is the sites are close together and they fill fast. If you visit here once you'll rave about how much there is to do and NOT ENOUGH TIME!!!!!! We camped here in a Tent.
