This is a great campground, but if you want "spit and polish" it won't be for you. The campground is very old (formerly Tagg Run, so it's at least 30+ years), but the new owners renamed it and have been putting what they can into it. They have made many upgrades to the park, but some of the amenities are still rather rough, like the bathhouse that we were near. However, a newer, more modern bathhouse is only a row or two away and it was fine. The sites are well shaded and there are many permanent sites, but not all the overnight sites have sewer, so be sure to check when you call so there's no surprises. The most compelling factor that keeps bringing us back to this campground is the people. You can't find a better group of owners. They will do whatever it takes to make your stay as enjoyable as it can be including a concierge service! If you need it, just ask 'Pap' as he makes his rounds and he'll bring it for you even if he's got to run into town to get it! These people are the salt of the earth. The campground community reminds you of small town America, everyone is friendly, outgoing, and polite. Perfect strangers treat you like they've known you all their lives and welcome you to the mix with open arms. This is a great campground even though it's a little rough around the edges. Our trailer has all the amenities we need, so ‘roughin’ it’ doesn’t bother us, but it’s the owners and the community that keeps us coming back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
If you plan to visit this campground, I would not recommend staying in the sites they call the "tree sites." Those sites are on grass and quite narrow. On Father's Day weekend, it rained on Friday night and our site was literally under water when we got up on Saturday. It remained muddy and wet all weekend. Aside from the horrible site we were on, the campground was actually pretty fun. Very family oriented with lots to do for kids. They have a very nice pool, miniature golf and a decent game room. Probably won't stay here again; but that could have been different had we been on a different site. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a really nice state park. It's right on the Appalachian Trail, has a bicycle trail, and a lake. Sites a nice and big. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Of all the campgrounds I have been to, this is one of my favorites. The price is still affordable. They have a very nice pool and hottub, and lots of activities. The restrooms were in need of some repairs and updating, and some general cleaning. But the campground is well kept. Sites are large. the place is kind of buggy, but we will be prepared with more bug spray this time. All in all, great campground, nice office people. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice park with spacious sites that has good shade in a beautiful setting. There was no privacy between the electric sites except the one site we were camping on had 2 fir trees between us (101) and #102. 90% of the stream sites were taken by seasonals. There were two areas for tenters/non electric-an open field in the very back or very shaded area that turned to a muddy mess when raining. I was very happy with my site and even with a 3 day downpour was elevated enough not to be sitting in water. In general the campground is very flat and I can imagine that standing water could be a problem. The playground was well stocked with equipment for all ages and the pool that had a separate kiddie pool and adult-only whirlpool was very nice. The only thing I didn't like were the bath houses. There were too few, not convenient, and downright scary. Overall I would recommend this park and plan on returning myself (with my own shower). We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We had a very pleasant stay at this park. Heavy rain the night we arrived, some standing water, gone by morning. We were at "tree 01 spot D" which is the third right over bridge. This is a very children friendly park. Sewer system would be good but a pump unit comes around to drain tanks on regular schedule. Bath house could use some updating. Well stocked store. No problem setting up satalite dish for TV. Three dump stations makes departure faster. Close to state park and battelfields. We will return soon. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The best part about this campground is its setting. There is a stream with rapids that you can raft down, which was quite a bit of fun. Pool was nice and they are just building a minigolf course. Restrooms were clean, but rather outdated, showers were somewhat clean but smelled moldy. The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. There is no sewer or cable connections and we had to pay extra to use our a/c. Our site (OF9B) was extremely large and on a corner, all grass with one or two trees - virtually no privacy. Unfortunately, it had rained a lot before we arrived, and one night while we were there and we had pretty much an ankle deep pool of water all around the trailer, this was the biggest drawback. Although in a hilly area, we had no problems with our 27ft TT. We would probably return if in the area again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Brand new rest rooms and showers. They are really nice. They have widened a few of the tight turns to make access easier for big rigs. Most sites are situated so you are not looking directly at your neighbors. The nicest sight is number 69. Long pad and the best view of the woods. If you can't get that one, 68 and 70 would be our next choice. They have increased the number of pet sites this year, which gives the pet owner many more choices, but takes some great sites away from us non pet RVers, unless we want to spend the extra $4 for nothing. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Beautiful PA State Park, close to gettysburg, Hershey and Lancaster County. Tall Pines and
Oaks. Very clean. Huge sites. One of the very nicest parks we've been to. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
