    GrI at family oriented campgrounds. Clean and peaceful. The resident bunnies are a hit. Highly recommended.

    What a beautiful and well-maintained campground! We decided to stay here on our trip south, and…read morewe're so glad we did. The staff was incredibly friendly, our RV site was spacious and well kept, and it easily accommodated our 44' rig with plenty of extra room. Our neighbors were welcoming as well, and we really enjoyed walking around the property and seeing the animals. The only thing we wished for was for the pool to be open, but we understand that can be hit or miss this time of year. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back!

    When I arrived I didn't understand my site. My rig is 22' but the site I have is huge. I don't know…read moreif I'm supposed to park horizontal or vertical or even which way I am supposed to face.Most sites have gravel. Mine is mostly mud and totally unlevel. The campground has many empty spots that would be more suitable. I called them to ask for help and Chris the manager came. He did not help me with the spot. Instead he told me my rig was against the law because it wasn't Rvia certified. He threatened to kick me out five times but wouldn't right now. He asked me how much I paid for my membership which is none of his business. I have a higher tier membership but regardless he informed me that thousand trails doesn't like to sell to people like me when we were discussing full time RVers. The final time he threatened me I said if you are going to kick me out then do it but you better kick everyone else out who isn't RVIA certified. Again he said he wouldn't right now and that he just wanted to educate me on the fact I was breaking the law. He noticed another van near me and told me to come with him while he checked her. I refused but later spoke with her and she was in tears when he got done with her. After he left I looked at my membership and not being certified isn't against the law. It is recommended but not required. Chris also informed me not to go to any other thousand trail park in PA because they wouldn't let me in. I don't know if that's true but something to keep in mind. I reached out to thousand trails about the situation and wanting to know if the managers were trained to treat "members like me" that are full time this way but it's been several days and they have not responded. In some of the other reviews I saw that 10 years ago the bathhouse was under construction in the no septic hook up area. It is still closed due to construction in 2026. Of all the TT I have been to this has been by far the worst experience. Chris even mentioned that his wife wouldn't even camp at a place like this because she prefers nicer ones. That spoke volumes about the property he manages.

    I live very near here and when I go on my walks I sometimes venture in here as the trail leads this…read moreway. I just happened to walk into the grounds a week or two ago and finally got a good look at them. I have been through here many times while on the Metro Bus and only get a glimpse. It is well used and not just in the warm months. There are always people here throughout the year. As expected, during the warmer months this place is packed. With the amount of things on property to do during those months, I can see why. There is minigolf, playgrounds, spray playground, and tons of walking trails. I also see the horse crossing signs along the road and trails through the area, so be aware of that. The only downside to this place, and it is of no fault to the owners, is the amount of traffic that passes by and may cause a bit of a hectic situation when it comes to entering and exiting. They have widened the road in front of the entrance to allow for a turning lane and an entrance lane to the road, but a lot of the people traveling the road seem to not understand that. I don't see the road widening any further until the brides that cross over I-495 are replaced and widened themselves.

    The park is clean and the staff is friendly…read more It has all the attractions, pools and pond. The park is really close to the freeway and very loud. It is really a park for tourists and families with kids. They have a rental ballroom which had non-campers racing through the park. The little train/tactor ride around the park stopped in front of our site beeping the train horn with people yelling as we were trying to cook. I don't need to be on someone elses vaction. They also allow golf carts with sound and light systems to race around the park blasting music and yelling. It was a different RV experience than we expected. Not a real RV or camping spot, but probably great for families on summer break.

    This was our second stay at the Gettysburg/Battlefield KOA. The staff is super friendly and helpful…read moreand the park is conveniently located near attractions and historic sites. Be sure to try the wonderful hiking trail on site. The campground is quiet and sites are shaded.

    My hubby and I wanted to do a shakedown with our camper as we have many trips on the calendar…read morescheduled for this season not to mention just get away for a few days. We've been to a number of KOA's and Yogi's over the years, so in 2020, I joined the KOA rewards as we will be hitting the road here in the next few years to enjoy our retirement. At the moment, we mostly camp in state parks, so we really don't need a whole lot. I took a chance and booked a premium patio site because the forecast was calling for rain and I didn't want to have to dry my stuff out as we live in a condo and keep our camper at an indoor storage facility. We were really excited to try this concept out since we were thinking if we met up with friends it would be neat to have seating and so forth. We were showed to our site by an employee as we couldn't park our camper at the entrance as there was a camper already checking in. We were told to park our camper and then when we were done, to check in at the store. So this patio site we are shown to which has been described as a table, chairs and a glider had three chairs on it only. No glider, no table. These sites come with a premium price which is a bit more than just a normal site. We definitely expected a table, which I was told would be provided on Saturday. The site next to us was never occupied and had a table and glider....we would have been so happy for the table at our site, but we didn't want to move furniture. So the night was fairly nice on Friday even though overcast....we ate in our trailer which was not the plan at all and not we signed up for. Even if this is a shakedown camp, we haven't really been able to enjoy the outdoors the whole winter! We did take our Solo Stove out and burn some wood after dinner along with make some S'mores. At least we had the chairs to sit in. I used the restroom twice there as we do have a camper with a bathroom. It was clean, however there was no soap in the compartment I was in. When I walked up there before leaving the campground, the compartment I went in that time had soap, but nothing to dry your hands. The staff was nice, but I didn't get the feeling that they thought that when you pay for the extras that there should be an expectation of it, especially when I brought up no table at check in, because I definitely mentioned that I had paid for the more expensive site. What I was told is they were extremely busy and while I do I understand busy because I work too, I have everything ready to go when it needs to be, especially if there are some elements that should be taken care of. I think there really should have been a priority on sites that were going to be used that weekend, especially when the one next to us was empty the whole time we were there and had a table which is really what we wanted.....we didn't care what kind, we just wanted to dine outside. Sites I feel are a bit tight, but I can't lie, I'm spoiled by the state parks. Lot of bang for your buck and the PA ones have amenities more so than where we come from in Maryland, to include ones with full hookups. There are a few farms close by which was nice and allowed us to get some fresh eggs to take home with us....very happy about that! There is also a winery that we have been to and that would be a nice outing if you are nearby. WiFi was amazing! We were able to stream a movie during a rainstorm Saturday evening. This was a plus. Our T-Mobile was not as strong to use our phone data. I really DO like supporting small family business and while this KOA is a franchise, they are also a family working a business. With that said though, when we pay for something, there is an expectation of getting it, especially when there is an additional cost. These are being billed on KOA's site as premium (and they are!), so for the money both of us felt rather slighted. A table at a commercial or state park site is a no brainer....we've had one at every park we have been to. I could have just booked a regular site and saved a bit of cash. We won't rule this one out again in the future, but for now the rest of our trips are mapped out. Maybe we will try again.
