We camped here in a 38' motorhome towing a Jeep, and the last 4 miles were white knuckled ones for the navigator due to sharp turns, small bridges and some low hanging tree branches. The campground itself is very scenic and the owners were very friendly and helpful. We were in a pull through, but there were nicely shaded back in spots that would be great in summer. The pool has been redone and there is a new common building with lots of weekend events including a pancake breakfast. The campground is on a hillside and the Brandywine River runs below the powered campsites and there are tent camping sites along the river. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice quiet park. The sites are nicely spaced and the grass is green. The roads and parking pads are gravel. The county roads to the park are quite narrow in spots so be on the alert. The staff was very friendly. We would come back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice, green campground, the drive to the campground was beautiful. Fireflies are visible at night and the only sound you hear are the beetles and grasshoppers around your site. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice place. Well maintained, beautiful pool. Hilly, countryside setting but level sites. Narrow, winding road to get to this place, but we had no trouble in our 37'MH with toad. Liked this place so much we extended our stay a couple of days. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice campground. The staff is pleasant, the facilities are clean and the pool is large enough to accomodate everyone who showed up. The staff ran activities for the kids, gave great directions to all the local tourist sites and even helped us find our campsite and back in. The campground is bordered by a river and the campground offers canoes for rent for a very reasonable $7.00/hour! The only draw-backs to this campground are the road in--long and narrow--and the bathroom facilities which seemed small for the size of the campground and were up a steep hill. I'd recommend this campground to anyone who wants to camp in the Philadelphia area. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Helpful staff. Nice pool area. Close to the river, fishing, and other activities available. Some sites are hilly. Good cable and WiFi connections. Quite a distance from the highway. Some narrow roads. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The area does boast low bridges and tight one-lane bridges so watch road signs carefully. The campground itself is perched on a hill and the gravel road up to our site did make us nervous. The wi-fi was hit and miss. We had no water for a portion of the time, but it was corrected. The laundry and bathrooms were clean and well kept. The river was gorgeous and we had deer in the adjoining field in the morning. We camped here with small children. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Directions to the campground involved crossing a 'barely double' lane bridge. RV need to cross this bridge by straddling the centerline. As cars approached from the other direction they failed to stop, nor did they back up (yield signs were hidden from view). Attempting to navigate the sharp right turn resulted in side-swiping the bridge causing extensive damage to 2 compartments. At the site there were 2 other motorhomes who also hit the bridge. When I got to my site, it wasn't level and Wi-Fi connectivity worked with a good rating but could not download any HTML pages. The office couldn't fix the problem and suggested I walk down to the laundry room. This is not site-Wi-Fi. My guess is that the service is inadequate for the number of users. (We were camped next to the Wi-Fi antenna). The office also needs to be trained when dealing with issues. They can't seem to correct any problems themselves and don't know how to get help. The campground is too expensive for the services they offer. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Every June we come back here for a family reunion. All of us stay in the lower area near the creek. A lot of us come from out of state and probably should buy a fishing licence, but I'm not sure anyone has. The road to get to the campground does get my heart pumping when we get near because of a few narrow turns but haven't seen or heard about anyone have any misshaps. The only problem we have is the lower area has only 20 amp service, so our air conditioning won't work. but its well shaded haven't really needed it yet. I also did a nearby search on the internet and found a man that delivered to my site a quarter cord of wood at a reasonable price. Looking forward to camping here again next year. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Nicest, cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen. Great hosts. Nice pool, all facilities nice. Wifi worked, but very slow. Heavy rains flooded river sites, but we were up on the hill. Store well stocked. Out in country, away from town. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Just an update for May 2006. Agree with all positive comments previously posted and would add that the route in is quite easy for a class B. The WIFI is marginal because there’s a hill between the antenna and most sites, but that’s OK; we don’t have a dog and I don’t mind taking the laptop for a walk. Works fine in the parking lot. Staff was super helpful – gave us directions to the nearest (15 mins) train station for the 1-1/2 hr train trip into Philadelphia – and even had a train schedule! A real treat to sample the city without worrying about the traffic & parking. Very highly recommended to all and we’ll return next year. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice campground in which we really enjoyed our stay and plan to stay again. It was quiet, clean, and well-maintained. The bathrooms which are cleaned thoroughly daily were spotless. The campground is very out of the way, several miles from "civilization". Getting there is a nerve-wracking drive across winding, narrow, hilly country roads and single lane bridges. The entire campground is laid out on rolling hills. Don't even consider the lower area down by the river in a large vehicle. It's primarily a tent area, although we saw one pop up. Bring lots of bug spray - the mosquitos were bad. They had a lifeguarded pool and a nice little camp store. The people who worked there were extremely friendly and helpful. One night while we were there was pizza night and a live Bluegrass band which we really enjoyed. The sites are tight. We were in site 64 in the woods and it was so narrow that our slide out touched a tree and we couldn't put up the canopy due to trees in the way. The site was relatively level. Some leveling blocks did the trick. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A great campground with a very friendly staff. As one rater did say it's a bit hilly getting there (and some tight turns on a narrow road) but it was not too bad. We really enjoyed the campground. It too is hilly, but the sites for the most part are level. It is clean and well kept and was very quite when we were there even though most sites were occupied. We will return as there is a lot to do in the vacinity of this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This place is not at all near any major interstate. It is a nice place, very hilly getting to the CG and hilly inside CG. The road getting there is a white knuckle drive in class A 39ft. If in that area would stay again but not if traveling near there. I said yes to big rig but it is tight!!! We camped here in a Motorhome.
We had to travel to this area to meet with friends for a few days and selected this campground at random. We were very pleased. The facility is well maintained, quiet and kept clean. The sfaff very friendly and helpful. If on vacation this is a good central location to hit a lot of good places from Lancaster to Philadelphia. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We camp with a group at this KOA each year. It is a small, nice, clean campground. Very hilly. Previous reviews did not mention the lower section of the campround along the river. Riverfront sites best for tents. Must be able to get unit back up steep hill from river front sites. Our favorite part is the pool, and renting the canoes. This may be the closest campground to Philadelphia but it's still quite a drive. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Although some sites were nested on a hill, the individual sites were level. Staff was friendly and extremly helpful especially when our travel companions needed to find an RV repair facility. Very accommodating to us with several dogs as we were in PA for an agility trial. Bathrooms were very nice and clean. Laundry facilities, modem hookup in the laundry room. A lot of ammenities for kids. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
