Served its purpose of being near the Allentown area. If full, the sites are very tight but fortunately, we were the only RV there. Nice swimming pool. Miniature golf course available. Grounds of the mobile home park are very nice. Campsite is just a gravel driveway. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was the worst campground we ever stayed at. The campground was very run down. The majority of the sites were seasonal and most of the units were dirty and falling apart. It appeared as though most of the seasonal sites were actually where people lived. There was garbage and junk piled all over the seasonal sites. It looked more like a run-down trailer park than a campground. All of the activities were cancelled: my kids had absolutely nothing to do. The playground looked too dangerous to let them go near it. The miniature golf course was also falling apart. The store was very small and had a horrible smell and was very dirty. No one enforced the rules: it was very noisy and the cars were flying past our site, I was afraid to let my kids play or ride their bikes. We had a full hookup site but the septic systems must have been clogged, when we tried to empty our tanks it went all over the ground. We notified the office and they sent someone to fix it, he tried to snake it and flush it which caused the sewer to run all over our site. We arrived around 6:30pm on a Friday night and packed up and left by 12 on Saturday. We will never go back! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice Sites. Staff is friendly and helpful. Organized activities on the weekend. Convenient for us on Holiday weekends. Close proximity to attractions. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This could be a nice campground, but it really shows it's age and lack of maintenance. Worst part was the noise level until 3 am every night. No one policed the quiet hours at all. Will not return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
OK, I get what everyone is saying but this is a decent park. The potential here is huge! It needs work and not the cleanest place but it is in a great location and near a lot of things to do. We went in a group of motorhomes and while the roads were not the easiest to navigate they were doable. The owners were very nice to our children when they were at the store. Pool and restrooms were dirty but I have a bath in motorhome so it did not affect us so much. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Electrical boxes were overloaded - some made of wood! Spider webs all over boxes. Water had multiple connections on each spigot. Wires all over the trees and may pose a problem for higher motorhomes. This park needs to be fixed - maybe reported to the township for violations. Most of the campers are old, dirty and falling apart. Access to the CG is via very, VERY narrow roads and bridges. We will NEVER return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Every rule written for this campground was broken. Kids running all over, shouting all hours of night, firecrackers, people talking till 2-3 am, loud music long after quiet time, dogs barking. This campground is perfect if you dont like to sleep. Will never return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground has a lot of potential but desperately needs maintenance. We could not back into our site all the way because of low hanging electrical wires. One section of seasonal sites was well maintained, but many others were down right scary. The bathrooms need to be removed and replaced. We will not return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Pros: Shady sites. Friendly staff. Cons: Difficult to maneuver around and into site. Not big rig friendly. Dirty. About 90% of sites are permanent residence. Overall we were not happy with our stay. One night was more than enough. Price paid was 50% due to Camp Club USA. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Not sure why the other reviews were putting this place down. Some of the roads are kind of tight and some of the sites may be tough to get into, but if you take away the trees it would take away some of the beauty. Our site was almost level, very shaded, lots of activities, nice pond and pool. Everyone friendly, including the owners, who cares where they are from. The store is a bit small. Next time the bikes come along. We will be here again. Pleasant suprise after reading the other reviews. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Sort of OK. Nice place and beautiful. No cable, wi-fi or anything interesting and too far from Philly to commute on a daily basis. The management doesn't do much in the winter, seem to be gone to Florida or something, but on the other hand don't bother you either. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I have to agree with the above review. Very run down. Water hook-up leaking right onto an electrical box. My sewer hook up was a hole with no cap, almost couldn't find it. Stunk real bad too. Cable picture unwatchable with interference. Sights were confusing in most spots. Hard to tell exactly where you should set-up. Had 20+ college kids in tents across from us playing beer pong and blasting music until 1 AM. Camp store smelled horribly. Didn't bother looking in the bathrooms. Playground was in bad shape. Was nervous that the equipment would break. Pool was in OK shape. Be very careful with big rigs. Try not to arrive at night. HOWEVER, with all that said, we camped with 3 other couples and all of our sites backed up to each other so we all were close together and had a cozy central location for food, fire and sitting around. Spent most of the day in nearby Bethlehem. Great restaurants, nice shops, very walkable. Just an old steel town that preserved that old town feel. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We have traveled to many different campgrounds and this campground was one of the worst. We booked the reservation on the brochure that had shown us a very beautiful and active campground. The campground was nothing but a disaster. The swimming pool was turning green, the restrooms and bathhouses were disgusting & dirty (the walls had holes and the sinks were rusted and mildewed with huge dead insects laying around. The picnic tables that are at every site were rotted and broken. The recreation we were promised in our brochure was not fullfilled. The gameroom was only open for 1 hour out of the 1 week we were there. The bingo and las vegas night had been cancelled along with hay rides that were to be happening every morning. We had witnessed children playing on the swings with the swings actually falling apart on them. We also witnessed four campers who set up and then actually got to see what was happening at the grounds and the bathhouses and then packed up and move out. There had been dead branches breaking throughout the days of our stay. These branches were not small. The leaves have not been raked up since last fall. We would not recommend this campground to anyone. The campground is in need of severe repairs. Our family which includes 3 children and 2 adults had a very uncomfortable and unpleasant stay, if it were not for us having our own bathroom and running water we too would have left. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
It's an OK campground. I thought the other reviews were too harsh. Cons: The sites are not level. Took me about an hour to level my unit. Water had a lot of sand in it. It's not drinkable at all. Trees make parking hard sometimes. Very long communite to PHL. Think 1. 5 hours+. The office was hardly ever open during winter hours...low demand I suppose. Pros: Beautiful CG. Lots of trees. Very nice. Nice pond. Very relaxed country setting. Few residents there during winter. It closes for a few weeks in January. Bathrooms were nice and warm during winter. Don't know about cable/phone hookup All in all I give it a "B". We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
They just open so things weren't completely ready. The whole CG is in the shade with some
big trees. Sites are small and the trees make it hard for large rigs to move around. Be very careful. The CG is old. The buildings show it. The bathrooms are clean and some things are new in them but they need to be redone. The play ground needs to be sanded and repainted. They have a lot of seasonal's sites. The wife and I are willing to try them again later in the season. We used a 34' TT. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
When we camped here, it looked like they had made many improvements, including a newly renovated pool and restrooms. The restrooms were kept very clean and have free coinless showers. They also have free Wi-Fi at all sites and the staff was very friendly. Very great fishing! The scenic view of this campground is one of the best you will ever see. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

It is a long drive from the main road in to the campground. The road narrows & you see the covered bridge with the restricted height before you see the campground gate just before it bringing stress levels, if you have a tall rig, to the roof before they drop to safe levels again. Free WI-FI. Transients get nicest sites next to or near river. Midweek mid September the place was near empty. $18, PA rate We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
OK, the staff here are very, very friendly. But this is not a place to camp in a tent. They only have about 18 or so tent sites that are way too close to each other. They are dirt sites that do not drain well at all. We had to leave after we could not find a site that did not look like a swamp ! We camped here in a Tent.
We were very pleased with our stay. The employees were very friendly and helpful. The pool was very nice.The bathrooms were updated and clean. The campground was located near many family friendly attractions. We were able to visit The Crayola Factory, Peddler's Village, and Rice's Market. We will be returning in the Fall for Halloween weekend. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I rated this campground a 1 because they did refund our money for our second night. We reserved a site for 2 days due to a family activity in the area. My husband and I took a walk early the first morning and encountered a rude, obnoxious man (employee or owner, not sure who he was). Another camper was attempting to return to his site after getting coffee and could not get the security gate to release. We were trying to help him as he had 3 children and a wife waiting. He rang the buzzer repeatedly for 5 minutes with no answer. Mr. Obnoxious came running out basically accusing us of trying to break in. He said we should use our gate cards. No such cards were offered to us at check-in or anytime else. When we explained that we were paid campers and had no such cards, he crossed his arms, sulked on the bench and said we had to wait until the store opened at 8:00. The young man explained that he meant no disrespect and only wanted to return to his site. Only then, after completely un-necessary cajoling by the young man, did he release the gate. We do not feel comfortable staying anywhere that we can't drive in and out of when we need to. And the rudeness of this little man topped it off. We hitched up, told the office of the encounter and moved on. Too many nice, friendly places to stay - why subject yourself to rude and obnoxious behavior! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
I love this park. It is not the biggest or the best but there is a quality of life here that makes me feel warm and fuzzy. We go here when we want to do nothing but sit back and relax. We love to get the sites by the stream and watch the kids fish and play. I will be back again and again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Tohickon was an average campground. They did have a craft activity and bingo for young children on Saturday AM. The game room was OK. Several games out of order, but not a big deal to us. The owners were very nice, helpful and friendly. We also met some very nice people. The store has minimal basic supplies and the restaurant, which wasn't open yet, looks like it would be a good alternative for breakfast. The wireless worked well at our site. We didn't need to use the showers so I don't know how they were. But, we did stop in to use the bathroom. They looked clean, but no soap or towels/blower to wash and dry your hands. Many of the seasonal sites looks very run down and need a good cleaning. The sites are relatively ungroomed - no concrete pad, lots of leaves from the fall. We did notice some garbage in the wooded areas/along the paths that could have been cleaned up in the fall/spring. The playground was fairly decent. But, next to it looked a little like a junk yard. We probably won't be back because there are just too many other nice campgrounds in the general area. But, it wasn't a disaster. I just think there are nicer campgrounds. We camped here with 2 adults and 2 small children (3 & 6). We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This would be a very nice place in the summer. We were able to get a satellite signal and the internet was reliable. The road to get here was narrow, windy and had lots of trees but since we've been in the part of the country it's something we've grown to expect. Special attention must be paid to the directions to get here if you are over 12 feet high as one way is through a covered bridge. The owners are very nice and helpful. There is a store and a restaurant on site. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park has the potential to be a real gem. Unfortunately, it falls way short. Granted, we were there at the end of a long cold winter, but the unpaved roads were so steep and riddled with HUGE potholes they were almost impassable in some areas. The sites are settled in between the many tall trees and the many boulders, leaving little room for slide outs or parking. Lots of permanent park residents in aging units of all kinds, many with built on "rooms". Booked this one off the internet...won't do that again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
An old fashioned, affordable, no activity, no guest fees, just make your own fun, type of campground. Nice pool, clean and affordable on-site resturant, nice game room, and new electic service are the upside. Off the main road, full hook up sites are kind of close together, and lots of older dated seasonal trailers are the downside. Updating the bathhouse should be the next order of business here. Overall, not a bad place to stay for a weekend, and definitely better than the local competition. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Well we just got back from Tohickon family Campground. We had a great time with a nice weekend. It's real hard for us to have a bad time even at bad campgrounds. Our over all rating for this CG is low. For us it started at the directions. We have a tall Rig so couldn't take the Covered Bridge route and had to use the alternative route. The directions are a little messed up that were supplied. Once at the CG the entrance needs to be cleaned up as the families house sits right there and is in need of work. The office is real nice and has a new restaurant in it. One good thing is they accepted Good Sam discounts but aren't a Good Sam CG. Pool and kiddy pool are still close but look fine. The new playground is also real nice. Now they put all weekenders down at the bottom of the CG by the river. Hope that it hasn't rained for a few days otherwise you will be in a mud hole. The sites are small. The sewer hook ups are hard to use and way out of the way and not worth it. Our site and some others had nice level gravel pads. The picnic tables are all in need of being repaired. We had a old fire ring that had broken bottles and cans in it. Our site wasn't cleaned up after some else had used it. Also had lots of old leaves that weren't raked up at the start of the season so it was hard to keep the TT clean. As to the rest of the CG they had a lot of older trailers most in good shape but needing a cleaning. We did find a lot of garbage (cans and such. one picnic table) off on the sides. They also had a sewage treatment off to the back corner you didn't want to be close to as the smell was strong. For the price it wasn't worth it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
