We were greeted at the gate and escorted to our site. The staff member also offered to help us back in. Our site was level and of moderate size. It was sparsely shaded, however other parts of the park are well shaded. We went to the PA Rennaisance Faire which is only a couple miles away, this was a great place to stay if you're going to the Faire. The bathrooms and showers were clean and new. The store was ok. All staff encountered were friendly and helpful. Our kids had a ball trick or treating and on the haunted hayride. We also attended the DJ'd dance. A magician entertained the kids at the dance. As stated before, a rod and gun club neighbors the park so you will hear some shooting. My only slight complaint, was the proximity to the PA turnpike. I could hear some traffic during the still of the night. Overall a nice place with a friendly feel to it. We would go again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We had a great time here on one of their Halloween Weekends. The haunted house and haunted hayride, both free, were great. They also has a halloween dance with a dj that we didn't go to. Our site was level and had some nice shade trees, but wasn't wooded. They have wooded sites also. I was worried after reading one of the previous posts, about the "seasonal slums" and hearing gunshots from that area of the campground. Turns out the campground's next door neighbor is a sportsmans club with a firing range. There are no firearms allowed at the campground. As for the seasonal area, who are we to pass judgement on someone else's trailer? We thought the grounds were very well kept, bathrooms were clean and staff were friendly. We will definitely be back!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
WE STAYED HERE WHILE WE WENT TO HERSHEY IT WAS A VERY PEACEFUL CAMPGROUND AFTER A LONG DAY AT THE PARK. THEY HAD A NICE POOL AND PLAYGROUND. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This place needs help. You would think that the way this industry is today, with so many campers, they would clear out the seasonal slum. My two sons were petrified because while riding their bikes they heard gun shots. My husband and I took a walk toward the seasonal slum sites and sure enough they were not kidding. Someone was firing off rounds. This was scary since we just witnessed all the students from Virginia Tech. traveling home. The office staff was pretty scary similar to the movie Motel Hell. We were so exhausted after driving 12 hours, that we ended up staying in, doors locked, exterior lights on. We took an am exit. We couldn't even complain to anyone about this because the office closed at six and was permanently closed all day Thursday. We left without getting our money refunded, but still didn't care. Avoid this place at all costs. You would be better off and safer at a truck stop. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Ok campground a little tight getting around campground. Could use some paving done some roads needed work. Stayed here for Hershey Show. Kind of far away, might stay here again. It was quiet even though it close to Interstate. Kind of hard to get to. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed here for 1 night, don't think I could tolerate any more. The back of the campground has seasonal sites that looks like a hobo camp. The front section is for transients with narrow roads and difficult sites, i.e. unlevel and trees very close. There are also seasonal's in this section that like to party. During the night, up until 1:00a.m. there was apparently a contest between 3 seasonal campers to see who could build the largest bonfire, drink the most, swear and shout the the most, and play the loudest music. No security, no one to answer the phone at night. The next day, when I was at the office asking why the water was off, I complained and they simply said "Oh that's Bobby again, I guess we will have to talk to him again". Later that same day, when the water was restored, there was so much air in the line that it put the regulator on my water line through a real stress test. Bottom line, in my opinion, unless you desire to experience the remake of Deliverance, stay somewhere else. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Visually, this campground wasn't that nice, but they were beginning to make some improvements when we were there. The pool is nice and the store seemed well stocked. They were building a new Rec. hall and it will probably be very nice when it's done. The were some "not so nice looking" seasonal trailer there, that made the place look shabby. I did see them working on the grounds, trying to make it nicer. The staff was very nice and we would go back again to see how it has improved. The place definately has potential. Overall we enjoyed our stay. It wasn't too far from Hershey Park either. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
