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".

Most of the other reviews are accurate, more or less. The cons: Roads, as well as sites, sorely need gravel. When it rains, you get mud. Hard to believe that as high as the monthly fees are, they don't take care of this. Also grass could be cut more often. The bathroom was not heated completely and in the winter months, it was a bit rough. That was a moot point since the main building was destroyed through vandalism. The electric boxes look like they are from the '70's, rusty, with the doors falling off. They charge a flat fee for electric, $70/month, regardless of what you use. In the "full-timing" section, it's an overwhelmingly 'blue-collar' community, with most ppl working in construction, plumbing, etc. There was also some 'riff-raff'. I saw cops visit it once or twice, and in one section allegedly there was a vehicle broken into. Don't know if true. (I personally had no problems with anything.) Some sites were small, others larger. The pros: Less expensive than the (only) other CG. Cable TV/Internet. Big plus. Once they installed it, in my opinion, they went from D to B-. Maintainance is good and they fix whatever is broken rather quickly. "Country" feel to it, which I liked. All in all, I give it a "YES". Just understand the limitations. Lothian is more or less a nice area. Commute to D.C. may take 40+ minutes depending where you are going. The only other CG in the area costs almost twice as much. Duncan's is expensive but the other one is downright exorbitant. There are basically no campgrounds in the area and the very few that do exist can afford to charge whatever they want. D.C. is a very expensive place.
