This was our second stay here and we weren't as impressed as the first time. The facilities are good and our site was easy enough to get into (D8), but it was Labor day weekend and this place was crowded/rowdy. This time we were among more seasonal trailers and they seemed a little less than friendly. The staff has all been very nice and helpful except for one grumpy lifeguard lady. Lots of activities for the kids and the adults. Clean pool though a little chilly for the end of summer. The fishing lake is little more than a mud hole, but there are fish to be caught in it. Too many golf carts roaming around for such a small place. Get out and walk a little people! We'll be back because it's close to home and convenient for the occasional weekend getaway.

I can only think of one word for this place - WOW! We had a waterfront site in z-lane and one of the best camping experiences we've ever had. This place has just about everything - family activities, kayak rentals, fishing, W/S/E/C hookups, friendly courteous staff, swimming pool, clean big and free shower/bath houses, free water park, etc, etc. In our six day stay we only left the campground to visit the OC beach and boardwalk one day and Assateague to look for wild ponies a half of another day. And while we took our car, both of those places could be visited by using the campground's complimentary shuttle bus. Sites seemed fairly wide and level, Roads were gravel or paved. I could complain about the amount of golf carts buzzing about, but we found that it was extremely convenient to rent one because of the size of the park. We used it to get to the water park, the miniature golf, and the western theme town, all of which were excellent. Yes, at $88 a night this place is a little pricey. But we felt that it was completely worth it for the site, the amenities and the location.

This campground has sold out to the nearby Driftwood Resort and is being converted to an "all-seasonal" resort. Pass on it.

This is our second visit to Highmeadow and it was definitely better than the first. We stayed in the Woodland section - all pull throughs. We'd consider other parts of the campground only for the extra space. We could hear the train passing by but it was not obnoxious where we were at. Sites were clean, mostly level and well maintained. Bathrooms and showers were clean and well-kept. Pool was also clean if a little over-chlorinated. The only time we found any displeasure with the campground was Friday and Saturday when the weekend crowd rolled in. It got pretty crowded. The major advantage to this place is in the free shuttle bus to Hersheypark. If you're going to Hershey this is a huge advantage just in saving the cost of parking. Staff was always helpful, pleasant and informative about local atractions. Prices in the campground store were comparable to surrounding stores. Overall, one of the best RV parks in which we've stayed.

This was, overall, a very nice campground. We wanted a full hookup site but none were available because it was a holiday weekend and we called within a month. We had a water/electric/cable site that was HUGE! We camped with a friend on the next site and we could have place another camper between us and still had plenty of space. Plenty of activities for the kids. Pool was a little crowded and rather cold, but not bad at all. Bathrooms were usually clean and showers were free. Sites were mostly level. The most impressive part of our stay was the staff. Staff at this campground was very attentive, friendly and helpful.

Overall this was a very good park. We camped here in the Woodland section which consists of all pull-through W/E/S/C sites. Many have written about the railroad that runs next to the campground, but it was never an issue for us. We barely heard it. Sites were gravel covered, plenty wide and mostly level. Pool looked clean and was not overcrowded. Restrooms and showers were clean and well-maintained. All staff that we encountered were friendly and helpful. Check-in/check-out process was quick and efficient. Good access to Hersheypark including a shuttle bus that runs every half hour or so. My only complaint with this campground is that the camp store/grocery was small and cramped at the expense of a gift shop with wide aisles and general "Hershey" themed gifts.

This was a very nice campground. About 50/50 seasonal and transient, but the seasonal sites were mostly near the back of the campground. Sites were plenty wide and long, and ours was plenty shady, too. Some sites had little to no shade. Backing in was easy even for this novice. Bath/shower houses seem to have been refurbished recently and were clean and well maintained. My complaints with this place are really minor. Water, electric and cable hookups are at the back of the site, so make sure that you have extra lengths of hose/coaxial cable/electric. Wi-Fi signal is strong, but it is not free. In fact, it is rather expensive at $4.50/day. I chose not to use it. There are an awful lot of golf carts running around the campground, but they were fairly consistent in obeying the 5MPH speed limit. There seemed to be plenty of family oriented activities on the weekend. I have no first hand experience of these as we used the time we were there to go to the Wildwood boardwalk and just relax in our camper. Actually, if they had a place to fish I'd call this campground perfect. We'd go back for sure.

To call this facility a "camping" resort is something of a misnomer. It really is more of a seasonal trailer park with some spots for campers. We camped here before the start of their season so we had our choice of sites. Even so, there were not many to choose from. The resort does seem to have some amenities that make it a favorable destination, 2 pools, game room, general store, easy access to Jersey shore and off site stores. It is obvious that the main focus of this place is seasonal trailers that are not "mobile." There was even a fifth-wheel trailer across from our site that had been made permanent. Nonetheless, the staff was friendly and very helpful, especially to our family who were first time trailer campers. We would consider coming back here again if a site were available. We understand that their transient sites are difficult to come by during peak season.
