Here’s what some of our happy customers have to say:
- "Stayed at the campground during Octoberfest 2024. It was perfect! The trail was on the edge of the campground, easily accessible and a nice bike ride into town - very easy on ebikes. The trail went for miles the opposite way too and was a great ride with nice scenery. The campground had lots of activities for families and a nice cookout. The campground employees were very friendly and helpful."
- "Our go-to campground. Cabins are affordable. Staff is super friendly. The store has everything you could need. The option to rent a heater is nice. Bathrooms are clean. Showers get nice and hot. My only recommendation would be to get a mattress topper pad for the bed they provide. The beds provided are just a thin mat on a wooden frame- very uncomfortable by itself, but comfy with a mattress pad."

Our go-to campground. Cabins are affordable. Staff is super friendly. The store has everything you could need. The option to rent a heater is nice. Bathrooms are clean. Showers get nice and hot. My only recommendation would be to get a mattress topper pad for the bed they provide.

A wide variety of lot sizes to set up tents, park campers or set up your RV. Cabins, showers, restrooms a pool, camp store and an abundance of playgrounds for the little ones. This resort does not disappoint. A polite staff who seem to perpetually clean the restrooms. The drive through Jim Thorpe with a camper takes a little patience. Lots of tourists lost in the sights the quaint town has to offer.

We stayed here 4 nights and did not have any issues. It was very peaceful and the other campers were very polite and friendly. Our camper is on the smaller side so tight sites didn't matter. The staff was very accommodating and kind. The owner stopped and spoke to us many times throughout our stay and was very pleasant. He seemed very hardworking and caring about the property. It would benefit him greatly to be able to hire someone (or more than one person) to help him with maintenance. I didn't go in any of the bathrooms but the camp office/store did need a bit of updating. They seemed to stock everything you might need and even some stuff you might just want. ;) The playground was nicely kept and updated. The only trash overflowing I saw was at the dumpster as it was time for the truck to come empty it. The pool was very refreshing but could use more lounge chairs and maybe some umbrellas. This is a smaller, older campground with lots of trees. If you have a larger rig you might not be too happy here. We would return because we were treated kindly and you can't beat the location.
