We gave this pleasant campground a 10 out of 10 due to its attractive setting with a pond, and its very friendly staff. We felt very welcome, and the staff organized several social events including a nice pancake breakfast. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
This is a very, very nice KOA. The staff are very friendly and very helpful. They assigned us to a site different than the one given when we reserved...they saw that I am handicapped and without asking gave us a site a little closer to the showers/restrooms. The 30 amp sites are nicely shaded as area many other sites in the campground. We had to be careful when siting the camper in order to get the awning to clear one tree, otherwise, the site was fantastic -- perfectly level and reasonably roomy. The KOA is an easy 8-10 mile drive from Erie, Presque Isle and other destinations in the area. Staff at the KOA were helpful in pointing out activities in the area while we were there. Free pancake breakfast on Sunday (meat and juice not included, but cheap enough), movies each night, nice pool (pool was still open after Labor Day) and a nice playground if you have children. This was our first trip to the Erie area. If we return, this KOA will definitely be our campground of choice! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This is a great place for families. Camped here with husband, two children, 12 years old, and 1 dog. What a blast had by all. The kids were busy all the time which made it nice for the adults! The only thing that I did miss was cable TV, that would have been nice. I will definitely go back to Erie KOA We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
I have been camping since 1976 and this is one of the nicest campgrounds I have ever stayed in. I have stayed there about five times in the last six years.The facilities are very good but the staff is what makes it great. They are under new management in the last few years and the change has turned a good campground into a great one. We arrived with two vehicles, Myself driving the truck towing our camper, and my wife with her SUV towing our boat. The staff helps you back in and get lined up in your site. While the owner was helping me back in, a couple of other staffers led my wife over to the over flow parking and coached her to back the boat into a parking space. My wife can handle a trailer well going forward but can not back a trailer, at all. I was impressed with their patience. This was a Friday night in high season, during the rush. A large number of campers arrived at the same time. But the staff still found time to deliver that kind of service to us! The park and facilities are spotless, the sites are smaller than some but the park is kept quiet and orderly so we never feel like we lack privacy. The pond actually has fish in it. The pedal cars are a hoot for the kids. There are some new premier sites with a patio, patio furniture, and a high end fire place. I wish there were more of these. If you are in a tent, this place has some beautiful rustic wooded sites. The park is close to so many things to do and see to list here. Many of the sites are being upgraded at this time, more gravel, sewage added and so on. The park improves every time I visit. The only even remotely negative comment I could make is that the pool is a bit small. But it is never that crowded anyway and that makes it a non issue. Great service, friendly people, spotless and quiet at night. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We've stayed here twice. This is the only campgrounds that I've rated a 10/10. The people are great. The place is immaculate. As mentioned before, how can you beat free pancakes and coffee on Sunday? We have 2 small children and they never want to leave the campgrounds! You are only minutes from Lake Erie, amusement and water parks, a great zoo. This is now an annual tradition for my family. It's also the most expensive campgrounds that we've stayed in but for 1 weekend a year, it's worth it! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This is what all Koa's should be measured by. A great little campground with lots to do. Campfire rings at each site, a petting zoo, lake with paddle boats, nice store on site with nice selection of things to buy, movies shown at night, pancake breakfasts. Nicest KOA we've been to and we will definitely go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were only here overnight, but this would be a really nice campground to stay awhile. There are so many amenities -- even a petting zoo. The pool is very clean and heated. Movies are shown in the evening. The sites are level and easily accessible. The trees are beautiful. The people in the office/store are very friendly and helpful. DH totally approved of the shower facilities. I was unable to stay connected to the Internet, but the lady in the office said Internet reception is excellent at The Pavilion. While the kiddos and I were watching the movie, another parent had her laptop there and was working. I am unsure if cable T.V. is available, but we did get a few T.V. channels. If we are ever through the area again, we will certainly stay at this KOA. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We were put into one of their premium sites which besides being full service pull-thru have concrete patios, deck chairs and table with umbrella, patio swing and propane grill. Over all the campground was pleasant. Average spacing and most sites have some good amount of shade. The pool could be larger to handle the weekend crowds and it could use more deck furniture. They had a free pancake breakfast on Sunday (you pay for the bacon or sausage as well as juice). The large pond adds nicely to the campground. It was an enjoyable stay but we are do not feel the premium sites are worth the extra costs, (we had not choice as all other sites were booked). We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was the second time we stayed at this campground. It is a very comfortable campground that seems to continuously be making improvements. Staff is very friendly. Our initial site was facing the front of another camper with a small, common open space between them. We asked for a different spot and the young man that was showing us to our site went to check for open sites. He returned shortly and gave us the list of the open sites. We selected a different site and a few minutes later the young man came back with updated paperwork. Nice campground plenty to do. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We really enjoyed this campground. The managers were really friendly, and helpful. They have a nice store, laundromat, and game room. There was lots to do for the kids. They have a really nice pool that was just the right temperature, and the pool was open most of the day. The fishing pond was great too, we caught about 30 catfish, no joke. There was a walmart nearby, which was also great . A great place ! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
New owners are making noticable difference. We stayed on a weekend and they had some great activities scheduled. You couldn't beat the free pancake breakfast on Sunday. Some sites still need work but as we understand it improvements are continuing. We were very pleased to see new full hookups that have just been added. We will be back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is one of our favorite campgrounds. It is clean and well maintained. Campground is within 8 miles of Lake Erie. There are plenty of recreational activities at the campground and in the area. They are now upgrading the sites with sewage. it is a very pretty campground with a beautiful lake. I have been going there for 20 years. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We really enjoyed this campground. The campground is very close to Erie activities. It was very clean and well run. I could not believe how quiet the campground was at night. My son caught 31 fish in 3 days at the small lake on the grounds. They also have paddle boats to rent. The only bad thing was that some of the sites were very close together. We are new at camping so this may be normal in most campgrounds. We would definately go back next year. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Just returned from this campground in June 2003. We met some family members who had never camped in a KOA. They loved it! Some members stayed in the log cabins. They were very neat and clean. The RV sites were nice and level. The park is very well maintained by the staff. Many of them ride through on golf carts and stopped and talked to people outside their RV. They were very friendly. The park was extremely neat and pretty. They have a nice lake with paddle boats, a nice pool and small petting zoo. Very impressed. One of the nicest KOA we have been to. About 2 hours from Niagera Falls. Very close to Erie and the lighthouses there. They only have electric and water hookups, but they have mobile sewer service and dumping stations. We chose the mobile sewer service. They emptied the tank for us while we were off sightseeing. Would definately return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We only stayed here for one night on Memorial Day weekend. Generally they require a 2-night minimum for that weekend, but they had a site available. It was a nice family atmosphere with lots of fun things for kids of all ages. Playground, heated outdoor pool, nice game room/laundry facility, go-cart rentals, petting zoo, etc. They showed a movie at the outdoor pavilion the night we were there. It was relaxed, clean, and comfortable. I'd go there again. We camped here in a Tent.
