Don't bother! The site that was given to me was nothing more than a mud puddle. The traffic noise was intolerable. I will never pass this way again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I don't quite understand those who complain about turning off the water during cold weather. Most experienced RVer's carry water in their fresh tank for emergencies. Candy Hill has a Store with most of the items you would need for an RV. We needed to use our longer hose and it saved us a trip across the street or across town to Home Depot. They had everything we needed to insulate the hose. We stayed nearly a month. Great quiet park, close to new Wal-Mart and any other services we needed. Bathrooms were always warm and toasty. We found the owners and workers always professional and very helpful. We felt safe and enjoyed our stay. Will definitely return whenever we are in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Apparently water freezes at 38* in Winchester because at that temp it gets locked off - locked - as in padlocked. Very expensive ($43 was the Good Sam rate) for no cable and a $3 charge for 24 hours of wi-fi not to mention no water. Way too many mickey mouse rules here. Keeping a park under control is necessary, turning it into a boot camp is dumb. For being clean and neat it gets a 4 but I wouldn't stop here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice campground; level sites; they lead you to your site in a golf cart. Open year round but they tell you that during the winter, if the temps are going to dip to the 30's during the night, they turn the water off. Turn it back on in the a.m. I do wish they had cable. Pay for WiFi, as was mentioned. One of the most convenient things for us is that there is a pizza parlor somewhere nearby that delivers to the campground! Great for when you get in late at night and don't feel like cooking. I would stay here again and would recommend it to friends. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

After reading previous reviews, I was optimistic about staying here. I have to say, it was the nicest, friendliest park I have been to. It is immaculate, the sites are well taken care of, roads are exceptional. Each site # is lit. You can't ask for better. I would very highly recommend this campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

There is some traffic noise but it's not of the truck traffic-engine brake-offensive variety. On the other hand the convenience to Winchester and its historic attractions is great. The staff was professional, if not warm and fuzzy, and the guidance to our site and backing instructions was the best I've ever seen. The campground is very nicely landscaped and there is plenty of room to roam. Dog walking is especially spacious. Wireless I-net is pay for but reasonable and it works flawlessly. No cable but that's not a big thing with us. While I've seen reference to the live stock facility in the area, there's no evidence of it once your within the confines of the campground. One also feels secure. Overall a very pleasant two night experience and would definitely return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Pros: Easy access of interstate. Clean and attractive. WiFi available, but at a cost. Assisted into your site by staff. Cons: Small, close sites. Needs to include cable in price, as reception is very poor. Campground is right next to the interstate and depending upon your site, may be noisy. Overall it provides a quick one night stop, but would not stay longer than one night again. Very disappointed. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed one night. Prior phone reservation asked for pull thru and when arrived not available. Sites were close and on grass. We thought office folks had some "attitude". We would stay there again for an overnight stay only if we "had to". We camped here in a Motorhome.

There have been many reviews on this campground complaining about the owners. We did not have any problems with them at all. At times, though, it appeared they were not very enthusiastic about their jobs. The campground is clean and well kept. They had a security guy right beside the entrance to make sure you did not go over 5 mph. The laundry room was clean and all equipment was in good condition. We stayed here because it was close to relatives. Rate includes Good Sam discount. The owner did not seem happy to give it to me but did not say anything. We would return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is not good for children. It is not "kid friendly", so be sure you have plenty for them to do inside the camper, unless you venture outside the campground for activities. They have a pool, which if your children act like kids, they will be removed. This goes for the small game room, which has cameras up,(not sure if they are real or not). If you are just staying overnight it is not bad, get in and get out. The owner is former military and as a former Marine myself, I find his "boot-camp" attitude very amusing,(LOL), and it rubs off on the staff as well !! Beware of his short fuse..... We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

BEWARE GOOD SAM MEMBERS. We pulled in on the last night of a 6 wk trip x-country and were met with shockingly rude, abrupt, questionable practices. Our GS membership had been honored at 95% of the parks cross country, never once were we asked to show the card or even present the number. Firstly, the park is clean, nice grounds and thats where it ended for us. When the gentleman behind the counter asked about my being a GS member I said yes, but didn't have my card, just the number. Another fella was suddenly on the phone while asking me what name it was under(we use both mine and my husbands name) first I gave one name, then went to write down my name and address for him when (I'd already said it) he said most smartly "I don't need that, think I can remember it". They told me I was expired. I knew I was not and offered to go for the number.I was told "no, you are expired" they could not tell me as of when. The next question was "would you like to renew it for $12.00?" Throughout this whole process I was made to feel as though I was quite a bother to them. I did not receive the discount, which isn't the problem...I called GS from my site and I WAS VALID THROUGH 06/09. The representative offered to talk with them, and when I asked the guy to take the phone he said "no, I have nothing to say to them" This entire process ended up with a conference call between myself, the supervisor at GS and the park manager lady. Her point was that I didn't have my card and the clubs rules say we must present the card to get the discount. During this call when it was said I have the road service program the manager quickly cut off the rep to ask "excuse me, did you say she had just the road service membership,and that entitles her to the GS membership services?" Surprise it does. Needless to say we received nothing from this campground but bad manners, policies, and zero good feelings. The owner wouldn't even come and speak to us when we asked to see him...no one came all night. So, if any of you need a campground overnight or for a few days and you have to choose this one be prepared. I have come to find out they are the number 1 GS membership card sellers in the country....umumum. If they treated people with more respect and decency well then by all means they would have gotten a thumbs up....never would I recommend this park or go back for that reason and for the mistreatment of the GOOD SAM PARK logo we come to trust. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very clean park. Friendly staff, very secure. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We took our new popup here for its first adventure. The distance from home was our main reason for deciding this location. To begin with, the grounds were very clean; the staff courteous at all times. The rules are always enforced, which is generally a good thing. We did not like the rule about only building fires between certain hours. The pool was not open and we did not try the pool room after reading online that my children wouldn't be allowed in due to age. It was very,very quiet during the day. We could hear highway noise while sleeping, but it wasn't too bothersome. We only saw one other popup and a lone tent. It seemed to be an older crowd, but it may have been the time of year. My family decided that we're going to try other places that cater to families with children and pets. However, we might try camping here again in the summer. Overall, it was okay for us. It's a perfect site for older folks passing through. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

STAY AWAY! Where to begin.....We are full-time campers, so we have been in a wide variety of campgrounds in all different seasons. This was our worst experience by far. We called enroute, as our plans where changed last minute due to an approaching snow storm. We were notified that space was available and that we would have to "night register" since we wouldn't be arriving until about 7:10p and they close at 7:00p. The fee for night registering is $40 and it wasn't until we arrived that we learned that this has to be paid in cash. We were told they had 50 amp pull-thru sites, but when we arrived it was dark and there were no maps available. After over 30 minutes of searching through the park we could not find a single 50amp site, and could only find 4 paved pull-thrus, 3 of which came to a peak in the middle of the site, making parking any type of long rv very tricky -- the rest required driving across a rutted grass field to "pull thru". So, we settled for the ONLY good 30 amp paved pull-thru site. I might also mention that part of our problem in navigating the park is that the signs made no sense and were not at all helpful. The next problem was water. We were told when we called that the water was going to be off because the temp was going to drop below freezing. I assumed the next day we could get water on for a few minutes to fill our tanks. Wrong. The owner refused to turn on the water for the 4 days we were there, because he was afraid his pipes would freeze. Technically though, his water was on the whole time -- just had padlocks on the spigots. His statement to me was that some overnight campers didn't turn the water off, and he had to do that. Didn't make sense because I was asking for it to be turned on for 5-10 minutes during the day with him standing there. No flexibily, and the only time I have ever had this happen. So, I got exercise all week carrying water back and forth in gallon jugs from the bathhouse to our RV, which I filled in their bathroom sink, in order to wash dishes, have drinking water, and "flush" the toilet at night (not walking the 1/4 mile to the bath house when it's 11 degrees!). Also, be sure to read the rules before visiting -- they strictly enforce every one. Typically I appreciate this, but they have some really absurd rules and have no flexibility when common sense should prevail. The next day we had to re-register for the rest of our stay and were given a 20% seasonal discount, which was greater than the 10% Good Sam dicount -- funny thing is they wouldn't even need the Good Sam card because it is given to every camper -- even states on the night registration form that your Good Sam discount is included. Some discount. Our view from our site was great. On one side was the interstate and on the other was the local cattle exchange. Both were quite noisy, and I was informed by local people that the smell from the cattle exchange during the summer is very pleasant. I can imagine. As we looked around the camp we found more good news. First, the bath houses which we were forced to use were supposed to be "squeaky clean". In fact, they are closed every day from 10:00a - 11:00a for cleaning....or so the sign says. I can almost guarantee they were never cleaned during our stay. They were not clean. In fact, I accidentally left some scrap plastic on the sink one day and it was still there the next day after the scheduled cleaning. The laundry room is in very good condition -- as it should be for the prices they charge. The game room is the same. Very good condition and very expensive. And, if you have children, don't expect them to be welcome. My 12-year old son could not play pool with me because of the 14-year old age limit. Don't know how good the wi-fi is, because I was unwilling to pay their prices for it. Too final notes. First, I noticed a sign in the office that said any RV over 10-years old must have management approval. Second, as I mentioned, it snowed during our stay. They scraped the roads the next day but did not scrape in front of any parked units. In fact, when they scraped the roads they left it piled up directly in front of parked units. So, it was up to us to dig ourselves out. I had to help an eldery couple get their motorhome out and they said they would never come back -- I echo their sentiments. This place was miserable enough because of the attitude of the owners and restrictions on reasonable use, without even considering the high prices. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very clean, but cramped. We were fortunate to be in the tent sites at the bottom of the hill next to the rail road tracks. No hookups so we just ran off of batteries and carried our gray water out. Right next to a state highway, when the wind blew right the first night we couldn't hear the cars as we were down in a valley. Up on the hill with the big rigs you would always here the trucks rolling by. They do have rules, Two things come to mind. 1) We checked in and brought the camper to our site and then set up. I then drove up to the store to check on our friends coming in and was followed by a golf cart riding employee because I had not yet hung my vehicle tag "just checking to see if you were lost" 2) An actual security guard doing rounds at night told our neighbors to put out the camp fire because the fire marshall could come at any time and write a fine...????? Anyhow, clean place, very much law and order, judging by the reviews probably one of the nicer places in the upper valley. We go up for the Cedar Creek re-enactment so we'll be back. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is a very clean and attractive campground. This is a family enterprise, and the son and his wife were in charge while we were here. They were very helpful and advised us on places to shop and eat. The woman who checked us in was also very nice and helpful. We did not think the rules were any stricter than any other well-run campground. WiFi is provided by an outside service and cost us $5.95 for three days. The showers were clean, but I did not like the fact that there was no outer dressing area for privacy. Four shower stalls shared the same curtained area. Also, the shower heads are out of reach. Also, there is a lot of road noise from nearby Highway 37 bypass. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Two words: clean and insane If you have no plans to bring children and need someplace to stay overnight, it works. On the other hand, if you have children, stay away. Imagine if Gunnery Sergeant Hartman ran a KOA on Parris Island, but I've digressed.... I give them a TEN for cleanliness and a MINUS EIGHT on everything else. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I agree with the other comments that this campground is very clean and well kept. If you have children there isn't a lot for them to do except the small pool and riding bikes. They also rent small three wheel bikes. It's a nice place if you have a small rig. If you have any kind of rig over 36' space is very limited. Most sites are back to back or back in. They do have a few pull thoughs, but they are for overnighters only, no exceptions. I know all campgrounds have rules, which is ok. These owners are a bit anal about their rules. The office staff is very nice, but the campground owners are rude, unfriendly and inflexible. They both lack any type of people skills. When we checked in, the nice lady helping me at the desk made an error when running my credit card through. The owner was watching her every move and when she proceeded to fix the error, the owner was very rude to her right in front of me. This made her so uncomfortable and flustered that she almost made an additional error when trying to remedy the first one. Everything worked itself out, but, I have to say, if that would of been me, that would of been my that last day of work there. I felt so bad for the nice lady and I was extremely disturbed at his nasty attitude towards her. This is a good campground for an overnight, but that's about it. I have to rate it only a five out of ten. I give it a five for having clean and well maintained facilities and for being a good overnight but that's about it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice park. Very clean. Very quiet. Everyone was very friendly and courteous to us. They offer “Good Sam” discounts and I had forgotten my card. They immediately called the Good Sam 800 number and got my membership information and gave me the Good Sam Discount. Yes they have a lot of “Rules,” but many people do dumb things if they aren’t reminded not to do it from time to time. Our site (A-7) was particularly nice as the door side of our trailer faced an open entrance lawn and not the side of another RV. We enjoyed watching all the big rigs come in. They are pet friendly (the owners have a dog) but you are expected to clean up after your dog, which is common courtesy. Since many of the sites were very crowded and not shaded we only rate this park a 8 over-all. (We give a lot of points for cleanliness and quiet.) We stayed 3 nights; it was a shake-down cruise for our brand new 25’ Bigfoot. It was less than 50 miles from our home if we had any serious issues. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The staff were so rude and unfriendly! We just bought our new TT so it is like new and well kept but that did not stop their rude comments! When we asked a question we got barked at. We left. I would just stay away from this campground. There are so many other places to stay where people are warm and friendly. It is sad when mean hatefull people think they own the world. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

They are snobby to popups. The "rules" are that popups can only stay one week, but no such rule applies. I know, I asked. I chose to have a RV that doesn't cost what my house did. I am not a low-life because my camper is not high dollar. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We only camped here for one night. The pool was not open, but our kids had lots of fun playing at the playground. This campground is very clean. The cleanist I have ever seen. Yes it would appear that they have a lot of rules but when you think about it, the rules just make sence. This is also one of the few campgrounds that I have been to that actually post the rules around for you to remember. There have been some campgrounds that we have stayed at where some of the kids were running around unsupervised and just acting like bullies. We plan on visiting again this summer. We camped here in a Tent.

A spotlessly clean campground with a great pool, shopping nearby (Super Wal-Mart within a mile) and an easy commute into Winchester, VA. Entry road is paved, well marked. Main roads through the campground are paved and in good condition although a little tight for the bigger rigs. Most sites have a tree or two to give shade to the campsite at some point during the day. In prior trips we've been disappointed due to road noise from Route 37 and Rt. 50 traffic, but it did not seem so noticeable this trip. Day time temps were in the high 80's and low 90's, so we did utilize our AC. Being a holiday weekend, the Campground was pretty full and kids seemed to be having a blast renting those low rider bicycles and loving the pool. Showers/restrooms were spotlessly clean, store neat, clean and well stocked. Staff was helpful and friendly. We will return. They now have a new WIFI service which just requires you to have an 802.?? card in your laptop/computer and you can access the service anywhere in the campground or so their advertisement says. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

The owners, which I might add, are the staff, are quite rude. Many Many rules. Same as military style. If you wish for a babysitter for your child, just send them to the gameroom. They have cameras that monitor their behavior and if they do not behave according to owners specifications, they will be escorted to their site. We called them on a Friday evening to advise them we would not be arriving until Saturday morning. They called me back and wanted to know what time we would arrive because if they could rent my site out, it would be less expensive for me. When I arrived, a neighbor told me my site had been occupied Friday evening. When I inquired at the office with one of the owners, he told me at first it was not occupied, however when I cornered him, then he played "dumb" and told me I would have to check with his wife or daughter in law later. Needless to say, I did not persue the issue as I believed the battle would have been quickly lost. Do not believe that they even want people to use the restrooms either. I have been to many rv parks that were just as clean as this one keeps their grounds, but not nearly the amount of rules or rudeness. They need to keep in mind, it is us campers that keep them in business. Without us, no campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

About all I can say about this campground is that it is clean and at least the girls in the office have been nice. The owner nor any other person having anything to do with campground has been nice. And I can deal with that except that is very expensive and I would at least expect the staff to be cordial. No one is friendly, no one waves, or even smiles! They have this speed limit of 5 mph too, that doesnt apply to their golf carts I am told because the golf carts are more visable(than a 40 foot motorhome?) The other complaint I have it that it is so noisy, all night and all day long! I didn't pay this rate for a spot on the beach! You folks go on down to Front Royal or Middletown! Is very nice and cheaper and the folks are very nice! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stopped here New Years Eve on our way back home. We had no problems with the owners. CG was very clean. Had fun in the game room, yes there were cameras watching you, but that is probably why the pool tables and games were in nice condition. The site we had A2 had well grown trees on both sides of the site that made it slightly difficult to back in without a couple people guiding you. With the bypass just behind the CG had traffic noise. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rather than impose upon our daughter and family who lives in Winchester, we decided to camp at Candy Hill and have her join us during her time off work. It worked out great. The campground is off Route 50 one block west of Route 37 (Winchester bypass), and there is alot of truck traffic in the area, accordingly, road noise. We had made reservations about a week prior, and were told that it was a busy weekend - the Apple Harvest Festival was being held that weekend, and many of the vendors would be camped in the park. Upon arrival, we were offered Good Sam membership and discount, our reservations were in order and we were escorted to a water/electric site for our Pop Up Camper. The escort helped us position the camper, as well as hooking us up, told us where everything was and was very accommodating - not at all like two of the prior reviews. As to the rules and regulations - none are unfounded. Speed limit must be enforced - paved roads are rather narrow with some sharp curves. In addition, bicycle riding (even those low bikes they rent) are only allowed on the blacktop - and with the low rider bikes, you in a vehicle only see a flag - so go slow!!! We ordered a fire ring, and paid for fire wood, and enjoyed our campfire with our daughter and granddaughter and had no problems with the fire being extinguished by 11pm. We were sited in the grass area, and our site was pretty level. We had shade trees, the park is immaculately maintained, as are the bathrooms/showers. The coin operated laundry was very nice and I have nothing to compare prices to - but it was worth it to use. We spent most of our time helping our daughter to move, so did not enjoy the trolley transportation to the festival as we were so very tired. We did enjoy our morning coffee looking upon the horses in a pasture next door, and our dogs, daughter and granddaughter enjoyed feeding the horses carrots and petting them too. We originally reserved for 3 nights and ended up staying 5....well worth it. Over the weekend, we did have helicopter traffic to the nearby hospital, and Monday morning, we awoke to 'jake brakes' of trucks coming eastbound on Rt.50 slowing for the light. The campground store has lots of gifts, souveniers and some groceries, as well as a good selection of RV supplies - all at very reasonable prices. The store had better prices than the 7-11 on the same street! We did not participate in the Sunday fellowship, and did not get to check out the game room. As it was past Labor Day, the pool was closed. But, the personnel were all friendly and helpful, and even inquired as to my health (when I made reservations, I had no voice - little more when we arrived). We had no problems with our daughter visiting, we'd gotten her a pass up front upon our arrival. One prior review mentions the 'crossing the double line' when re-entering the park and another vehicle being parked at the registration area - had the reviewer but looked, there were two roadways to the left upon entrance and all issues could have been avoided if only they'd taken one of those two roads and by-passed the registration area. I did it with no problem or issue. We will stay at this park again. The only reason I rated it a 9 vs. a 10, is the road noise, but I don't think they can do much to control that unless they plant a ton of trees around the parameter. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

After reading some of the previous reviews about rule enforcement and road noise I was a little nervous that I had picked the wrong campground, however my fears were completely unfounded. We enjoyed our stay very much. There was a little road noise but it was not too bad. We even slept with the windows open. I saw some enforcement of rules, but each time a rule was being broken like parking in a clearly marked no parking area. When we arrived for Labor Day weekend, there were 8 RV's in line waiting to check in. The staff was very efficient getting all checked in and escorted to their sites. I've waited longer at other campgrounds when I was the only one in line. We were in sites B2 and B3. Both had concrete pads and were perfectly level. The sites were a little narrow but comfortable and there was plenty of room behind us. They have a very nice store. The pool was clean. The entire campground is kept spotless. The only complaint we have is the TV reception in the area is terrible. We couldn't even get network TV to watch a race. We don't use the bath houses, however they are closed for cleaning between 10 and 11 A.M. We saw several people complain about that. We will definitely visit again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a pull thru side in the F section (F1) next to the Pavilion. Plenty of space to open the flour slides. There's a bit of road noise, but it was tolerable. If you get this site and are planning on leaving early Sunday morning beware that Church services are held at the Pavilion in the morning and they use the whole area to park the cars. Overall we had a great stay. We will go back at another time. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed there several nights about 3 weeks ago. Had a unpleasant experience with one employee at check-in. The road going in has a double yellow line down the middle. There is a line where they want check-ins to stop upon entering. When we got there, an SUV towing a pop-up was in line but there was a great deal of roadway between him and the stop line. An occupant in the SUV waved me around. Thinking that they were having mechanical problems, I pulled around, parked and walked into the office. A gentleman from the SUV was checking in ahead of me and upon completion of the paperwork, the lady behind the counter told a young man where to park him. Upon realizing that I was now ahead of the SUV, the young man said "For future reference, those yellow lines are just like a highway. No passing." I told him that I was waved around and that there probably would be no "future". It seems that an employee leads every registrant into his site. We got a fairly wide site and put out our rug and chairs and set up their picnic table. Because of windy conditions, we rolled our awning up before we left the next morning. When we got back, all our "stuff" had been moved so a motorhome could pull through to the site behind us. Nothing was put back in place. I guess if our awning had been out, they would have rolled it up before the MH drove through. I can only assume that an employee did this. Well kept and clean. Sites farther away from the office are the widest and highway sounds were not a bother there. Probably would stay there again but it would be more pleasant if some personnel had more interpersonal training. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I just spent two weeks on the road in the RV. Spent about 5 days at this place. It's one of the few places I can definitely say I won't visit again. The positives first: This place is immaculate. You could eat off the ground. They mow the grass constantly, you never see any trash, and the campground store actually has a little bit of everything. The store was big, as far as campground stores go. They had about any RV part you'd need---it was like a mini-Camping World. As far as a neat, clean campground, I've never seen anything better. The negatives: The staff was rude and pompous. When my wife was registering she had a long wait due to an older man in front of her that had a hard time hearing. My wife politely waited and was shocked when the lady behind the counter told her (right with this guy standing there): "I'll help you if this guy will ever decide to hear anything I'm telling him." Another customer asked about who lived in a nearby house, saying he lived in the area years ago and thought he knew them. When he mentioned the name and she said that wasn't who lived there, he asked if she was sure. She replied "Look, no one you know ever lived in that house." Strike one. This place is literally on the highway. The traffic rolls by steadily until the wee hours of the morning. Every night was a struggle trying to get the kids to sleep and my wife and I had fitful nights at best. I tried to trick myself by comparing the noise to ocean waves. This worked until you heard jake brakes or sirens, which was about every 10 minutes. Strike two. The sites were the smallest I'd ever seen. I couldn't even open my awning the whole week. Had I done so, it would have been touching the silde on the MH next to me. I went to the office on the second day and inquired about moving to a more spacious site. The guy became defensive and wanted to know what was wrong with the site I was in. When I said I just wanted some space to open the awning and have some space for the kids to play, he rolled his eyes and pulled out his reservation book like it was some effort to do so. He said I could move, but he'd have to move me again the next day since he was booked and people made their reservations a year out, etc. He spent the rest of that day scowling in my direction whenever I saw him. As some sort of consolation a few days later, he told me to feel free to hang out in the area behind the camper. The site I wanted remained unoccupied until the last day we were there. Surely they could have accommodated my request considering I was paying $33 a night for almost a week. Strike three. I'll never go back, just because of the attitude of the employees. I guess it's okay if you need to stop in a safe place overnight, but that's about it. Really not a lot for kids...a few playgrounds. I never saw anyone in the pool during the 5 days. I noticed they had more rules about that pool than you could shake a stick at, e.g. no kids allowed that weren't potti-trained, even if they had swimming diapers on. Hard to believe that certain campground directories gave this campground their highest marks. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was an excellent place for a two-night stop. Convenience to the highway meant there was some droning background noise from Rt. 37. The place was clean and well-maintained and the camp store well-stocked. The staff was friendly and assisted us in backing between two trees into our site. The "Stop Here to Register Line" is in front of spaces A1-A6; avoid them if you don't want a delay exiting your space when other rigs are arriving. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Where do I start? I wish I would have read the reviews here before I stopped. Basically, the nice amenities of the campground are offset by the rude and overbearing nature of the main visible staff members. I found the senior staff members to be quite nice but they weren't the ones enforcing the rules in the concentration camp. You see, the campground manager has a calibrated eyeball for the 5mph "STRICTLY ENFORCED" speed limit. He will be sure to chase you down in his golf cart (exceeding 5mph, but I'm sure he's trained for high rates of speed in the golf cart) to inform you of your infraction and promptly warn you he will ban your vehicle from the campground. Most vehicle speedometers don't even go below 10 mph (mine doesn't). Not more than 5 minutes at the campground and the staff was already out reminding us of "the rules". While registering, my wife was slowly driving around the office building to keep our son asleep when she was stopped by the manager and asked to stop driving around the office. When she explained why, she was told to drive around outside the campground. It wasn't until later in the day that the manager explained the reason was to prevent the vehicle sensor from constantly going off in the office. That's fine, but he could have explained it at the time. That started our camping trip off on a sour note and really never got better than that. Do you have a guest visiting? Be sure they do not exceed the 5mph speed limit! Also be sure they don't come right to your door and they register first or they will have a visit from the golf cart to receive their first warning. How about taking a shower? They say they're cleaned daily (at least they're closed an hour daily for cleaning) but I've seen the same mud in the same sink for a week. And the laundry. Who closes the laundry for days over spring break when the park is at its peak? Made little sense to me. I've been threatened, insulted and made to feel very unwelcome. Where the staff gets their business sense is a mystery to me. If this weren't the only campground in the area, they wouldn't be in business very long. I understand the necessity for rules in any setting, however, how one delivers the rules makes a considerable difference. We all know police allow a certain amount of slack in speed. How many of us have been pulled over for 1mph over the speed limit? You will be here and you will be lectured as to the necessity of the speed limit. So if driving with your head in the car staring at the speedometer the entire time instead of looking outside for hidden dangers and exercising caution is your cup of tea, then this is the campground for you. If you enjoy a laundry list of rules at a cost greater than usual for a campground, then this is the campground for you. If you want your visitors to be greeted rudely, reminded of the rules and left asking themselves "who is that guy?", then this is the campground for you. If I had any other choice in campground, I would have left here the same day I pulled in, but due to circumstances had to stay here. Though services are adequate, the staff's lack of ability in dealing with people outweighs the benefits and renders an overall rating from me as poor. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Visited for a short weekend retreat. Kids had fun, we enjoyed the facilities, and had no issues with the rules. Can't comment on the cable TV service (we travel with DirectTV). Staff was just fine - never saw anything that might legitimize the early post about risking "life and limb". All in all, decent CG, good stopover spot, adequate for a weekend getaway trip. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Responding to the unhappy camper, previously. This is a very nice campground, a bit pricey but the cleanliness, convenience and facilities justify the cost. We stop here frequently on our way back and forth to upstate NY. We usually stay a few days to decompress, catch up on email, shop, great roadside markets, and see local attractions. There is an outstanding library in Winchester. The staff have never been anything but courteous to me. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We came here in our fifth wheel in the fall. The park was not crowded therefore the staff should not have been busy and stressed. As the other reviewers mentioned, they were rule crazy. I like rules, but they were drill sargents. I had 2 friends visit for 20 minutes, they charged them visitor rates. They didn't use any of the campground features and they barely let their car engine cool. However, the final straw happened when a tornado was coming through the area. I was driving in, and my pass to the campground was on my dashboard in plain sight. He stopped me because it wasn't on my mirror. There was a tornado less than a mile from the campground and I was trying to get to my family. They also did not seem to have a severe storm plan, other than the restrooms. They also were refusing to let the pets in the restrooms if needed for the storms. We left a few days later despite the fact we paid for 2 weeks. There are other campgrounds within 20 miles of that campground, so I won't choose this campground again even though I have friends in the area. They did have a nice campground in terms of landscaping and a nice field to walk your pets, had they been friendly we would have really enjoyed this spot. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stopped here as a halfway point when traveling from TN to PA several years ago, prior to 2004. We too were very surprised to see all the rules, as we had been to many other campgrounds and never saw so many rules. Yes rules are necessary but this place had so many it felt like an Army base or something similar. One of the things that really bothered us was that lights were turned off at night in the restrooms and on the road near where they put us. This was very disturbing to us since we had a tent camper and had to use the restrooms during the night. It was very dark. We understood the need to conserve electricity, but, this is a campground for goodness sakes. Again we had never seen this before anywhere. We felt like someone was going to slap our hands if we forgot to turn off the lights behind us because of all the signs posted everywhere to turn off lights. Also we found the office to be somewhat rude too. We decided that would be our first and last visit to Candy Hill. We are by no means party people and go to bed at an early hour and it was just my hubby and I but we did not care for this place at all, it was not a fun place to camp. Although it was convenient it was just way too restrictive about everything. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

After reading the above review I just had to comment. This campground is favorite close by retreat for us. We have found the staff to be extremely helpful. Yes, the have rules like every other campground but I did not find them unreasonable. I noted that several children seem to be enjoying themselves with the camp activites. The camp store is one of the best we have seen. Great weekend activities appear to be planned for every weekend. I am not sure what happened to the previous camper but I find it difficult to understand if they were at the same campground I use several times a year. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Yes the restroom were clean because you are not actually allowed to use them. They don't provide any soap to wash your hands with because then that might tarnish their PRISTINE bathrooms. You see the staff at CANDY HILL really wish that you would just GO AWAY. If you go there and bother someone YOU RISK LOSING LIFE AND LIMB. Don't believe me? Try it for yourself. They will only too happy to remind you of their rules lest you forget one or if you can't read because of course THEY ARE POSTED EVERYWHERE. We were unfortunate enough to get on the ugly side of the CANDY HILL (lovingly referred to as NAZI HILL) staff. We were no match for them of course. There is no good side and if there is well it was not exposed to us on our "shortened" visit there. We left early. If visiting an Aunt's spotless house where you are not allowed to touch anything or enjoy yourself then this may be the place for you. Don't bother bringing your small children who are not potty-trained because as one of their LOVELY rules states (who could miss that HUGE sign by the pool) no children allowed in pool unless FULLY potty trained, no swimees, or diapers PERIOD! IF YOU LOVE TO PAY MONEY TO LIVE IN A RULE ORIENTED ATMOSPHERE WHERE THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS WRONG THEN THIS IS DEFINITELY THE PLACE FOR YOU. They won't mind at all taking your money. The attitude of the staff there was so poor that I couldn't get into the gift shop to see what was there. They were very cold and short-tempered. On our second day we felt so unwelcomed that promptly exited. MAY GOD HELP YOU IF YOU ARE THE UNFORTUNATE SOUL WHO PARKS IN THAT TEENSY SPACE WHERE THEY SWING BIG RIGS IN AND OUT!!! I was breathing had a pulse and Oh I was also a customer THEREFORE I WAS WRONG as you will be too if you ever cross them! We also complained with the Better Business Bureau. They lied and said that we verbally assaulted someone, we did no such thing. That's not who we are. We just want everyone to know what this place is all about. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Ok for a stopover, and very clean, sites on top of each other. Highway close by. Would not spend a vacation there We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Beautiful, well organized & laid out campground. Spacious sites, great playgrounds for the kids, looks like the golf course next door. The website is very accurate in how great the campground is. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Stayed there over Memorial Day. Weather was lousy and they didn't have much for kids to do - this was partly due to their office/gameroom building collasping over the winter from all the snow, so the office is out of a trailer and they have no game room. A lot of rules - so much so that the kids were making jokes regarding every little thing saying "check the rules". On the upside - very clean and well maintained. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Small Campground, too close to highway, sites are too small, and some are not level. My MH front tires were 6 inches off the ground before being level. Store a little short on supplies. CG & bathroom were clean, it was quiet, with the exception of the highway noise. We camped here in a camper.

Nice park to look at! Very clean and well keep up. Road noise from Hwy 37. People who run park have a lot of dumb rules and will give you hell if you are not careful. If we ever come back in future it would only be a stop over. All TV channels over the air were very poor at best and no cable TV at sites. A $5.00 charge per day for 50 amps power is too high. We see $2.00 per day on other campgrounds and that will more than cover the power cost. We camped here in a camper.

Our family has stayed there many times in the last 6 years. Very clean campground. A good stop if your going north or south . Located along Rt. 37 bypass that blends into RT.81. Do not reconmmend small children. They have no written policy on small children using the pool. One owner said we could use pool, another said NO!!, They would have to drain it the if there was a accident. Their rates have gone up faster then inflation in the last 5 years. Many sites are narrow. We camped here in a camper.

Very Clean and Grassy Campground, Loved the Meeting Place. Owners and Family very nice, and always willing to help. One of our Favorite Weekend Getaways. We camped here in a camper.

Very nice clean campground, Some sites are narrow. Most sites are on cement pads. Roads are paved and the sites are grass. Very nice staff. We camped here in a camper.
