Only reason I didn't rate it a 10 was because most of the cg is new and there is Very little shade anywhere. The owners just bought the cg directly across the street, now they have river front sites and they doubled there sites. the new side is neat as a pin, staff is almost to friendly if that's possible. Their pool is beautiful, flowers everywhere. Very level We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The campground was scenic and immaculate, the staff was eager to please, and the owners continue to upgrade the facilities. The score selected is a round-up from 9.5. Absolute perfection would have some more shade available, but the young trees will require about 10 years to reach that stage. The rate quoted included the Good Sam discount.

This was a beautiful, recently expanded campground run by agreeable and helpful people. All park facilities were maintained at a high level. The recent expansion means that a minority of available sites have significant shade, as the new plantings will need 5 to 10 years to achieve significant size. We received our Escapees discount and paid $28 per day for full hookups, including all taxes. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Best campground we have ever stayed in. Surrounded by beautiful farm country and right across the street from the Juniata river. Well supplied camp store and crystal clean pool area. Owners/staff very helpful. Would surely camp here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Very nice campground. Owners and staff are very active in the care of the park. Park is in very good condition and is a work in progress. This is a family oriented park with lots of activities. We will return when we return to Central PA. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We spent the Memorial Day weekend here and had a great time. The staff was absolutely great!! We were in an over flow site, which put me a about 20 feet short for my electric/water hookup. Immediately the escort, "Bub", offered a water hose and 30 amp extension to reach the hook ups. My wife and I were very impressed with the welcome! Excellent facilities, clean pool and bathrooms, hayrides, DJ/music in the pavilion, public fishing a short distance across the road and much more. THANKS, we will return! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Just like the other reviews say, Everyone is super nice! We stayed in a pull_thru site with a 36' MH and toad. Plenty of room all around. My son and I felt welcome as if we've known them a long time. Thank you for a great time. The scenery on the way and at the CG is amazing. Will be back again and again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
First time at this campground. Being a Holiday weekend, the staff seemed prepared by having a check in station setup along the entrance. We were escorted to our site which was in the new section. The site was new, with newly planted trees and grass. The CG seemed pretty clean. The staff was exceptionally nice and helpful. We broke an awning strap and one of the workers wives sewed it for us. We also booked a kayak trip through the CG. Definitely fun, just don't forget suntan lotion and the 5 1/2 hour trip was too long for us. All in all this was a very nice campground. The only personal issue was there is no shade in most of the sites. But this is personal preference. There were some shade sites in what appeared to be the older section. The owner Denny was extremely nice and accommodating for all of our requests. The rest of the employees were fun to talk with and nice. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice park The owners could not have been more accommodating. The park is on the grounds of a historic farm complete with 1800 brick house and barn. the bath facilities and pool are new and very clean. the sites are easy to access and level. the surrounding are is beautiful with mountain views, amish farms, markets, and nurseries. Several excellent yet inexpensive restaurants are within 20 miles. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Buttonwood has to be one of the best kept campground secrets in Pennsylvania. It is a newly developed park on a former farm, nestled in the quiet and beautiful farming country of Juniata County PA. The campground is easy to access from US 322 and the grounds are very well maintained. The owners just can't do enough to make your stay enjoyable and work hard to continue to upgrade the park. We love the sounds of the AMTRACK trains echoing off of the nearby Tuscorara Mountain, the Juniata River flowing a couple of hundred yards from the camp, excellent bicycling opportunities, the sunsets are outstanding and there are several great country restaurants nearby. The campsites are some of the largest we've seen anywhere. If you enjoy country living at it's best, this is the place to be. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

My wife and I recently stayed at this campground and found it to be one of the best ever. The owners went way out of their way to give us a tour and show us all the improvements they have made and are still making to the campground. The landscaping was very impressive and the pool area was the most bueatiful we have ever seen at a campground. We happen to hit it on fifties night which included music, 15 cent hotdogs, 15 cent fries, and 25 cent rootbeer floats. If you are ever near Mexico, Pa. be sure to stop at this campground. You won't be disappointted. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

An out-of-the-way and relatively new campground with great potential. Very close to the Juniata River which is great for canoeing, fishing, and observing nature. The owners/hosts were superb! They went out of their way ensuring everyone's stay was as enjoyable as possible from check-in to check-out. We were extremely impressed with their service and willingness to assist at every occasion (and then some). Our kids also had a blast with the activities and facilities. Received "6" rating because new restroom facilities being built near the new section are close to completion but are functional; once off the pads, and especially during the wet seasons, the ground becomes bog-like--very wet and mucky. Otherwise, we enjoyed our experience here and will return. Perhaps then, the "bugs" will be worked out and a more favorable review will be given. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
