    Council Cup Campground - A 25-foot waterfall is definitely one of the must-sees when you visit the campground.

    Went on a climbing trip to a crag close to Nanticoke PA and luckily found this campground to stay…read moreat for one night during Memorial Weekend. For 2 of us, paid $30 total for one night for a tent site (tent sites are in the strip of land across the road from the main office). The tent site was much better than I thought. 1. only 3 parties there in a very large area reserved for tent only camping, we were very spread out and it was pretty peaceful 2. camp site right next to a beautiful creek! 3. had electric outlets and tap faucet right next to the tent site. We didn't bring anything that could be plugged into an outlet but thinking in the future I could be sitting in a hammock and watching a movie on my laptop while being charged 4. camp site didn't have a fire pit or an obvious hole in the ground where you make your fire safely but we were out climbing very late and too tired to make a fire anyways when we got back. Lots of fallen branches you can collect to make a fire. The other 2 parties had built fires, didn't see how they did it. 5. the shower house closest to the main offices had large showers which were in decent level of cleanliness, paper towels kept running out though so bring your own Overall, very happy with this campground and will definitely come back in the future! A couple of things I noticed (1) the area where RV's are parked looked pretty crowded and also loud (2) I don't think I saw anyone else wearing masks around the campground, even when a lot of people were going in and out of the office. The 2 of us may be the only ones wearing masks there, when going into the office and using the bathroom

    Our experience at this campground has been amazing!!! We moved in at the beginning of the season…read moreback in May. Since then there have been a lot of changes under the management of the new owners!!! The new owners have done a terrific job updating and cleaning up the property in just a short 6 months. They have remodeled cabins, painted the bath houses and pavilions, reinforced and painted the playground and fixed the roads that lead to each of the 3 levels of the grounds. That's just the beginning of what they have in store for upcoming seasons. It has been so much fun meeting new people who have been so kind and friendly!! We've had numerous gatherings at the main pavilion with live music, food, games and hay rides!!! 4th of July weekend they put on a fireworks display and at Halloween a Trunk or Treat for the kids!!! I love our new campground family!!!

    There's a million KoAs out there, but this is definitely one of the better ones! There's a pool and…read moresplash pad making this a family friendly spot. The bicycle course (sign your waiver please) is huge, and there's a fishing pond. This rural spot is a great layover or a great destination. The camp store has cold drinks, frozen treats, and some groceries, but no beer/wine, so bring your own. The landscaping is lovely with huge sunflowers around the pool. On the weekends it looks like this campground has a snack shack. The bathrooms and picnic tables aren't exactly new, but the bathrooms were clean, and the staff were friendly. Yes you hear the highway at night, but yes, that means close proximity to getting on your way. Also at night, in the summer, was a gorgeous concert of fireflies. All around, this campground was a great escape.

    This is a beautiful KOA located just off I-80. The staff is friendly and welcoming. We stayed in a…read moredeluxe cabin (which we have at other KOA's). It did not disappoint. We had a great fire pit area. The front porch had Adirondack chairs and a table. There was also a small grill on the porch. The cabin was clean and cozy. It had a bunk room and a queen size bed for sleeping. There was a small kitchen and a full bathroom. The fridge was bigger than a micro fridge and there was a microwave. There was plenty of restaurants to eat at in Bellefonte and the people in town were so nice as we spent the day exploring it. Bald Eagle State park is a few minutes away and definitely worth a visit. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone as the tent sites and Rv sites were amazing as well from what I saw.

    We've been camping here for years. New owners are fantastic. There's always something to do for all…read moreages almost every weekend. There's lot of things for the kids, Gaga ball, pickle ball, basketball, a pool, a game room, and 2 playgrounds. Always enjoy spending time here! Will always be our number one choice!!!

    The review AFTER the initial review!!…read more So I wrote a review and deleted it when the owner of the campground came to our campsite and kicked myself, my husband and my children off the site after writing the review! ! Apparently, you can be a business owner, have a PUBLIC website and give guests the option to review their stays BUT if it's not to their liking, they are allowed to use your power and authority, to do what they want. In this case, it was in the middle of me cooking my family dinner. He didn't even have the common courtesy to let us have dinner before telling us to pack it up. This all stemmed from my 13 year old son and his friend riding bikes too fast, throwing rocks at each others FEET, walking around with a flashlight and ALLEGEDLY jumping over the counter in the ice cream shop. First of all, they were riding BICYCLES!!! Peddle bikes, NOT ELECTRIC! So how fast can you actually go on a BIKE!! The rock "throwing".... They were waiting patiently OUTSIDE the gate to the pool for my husband to finish his conversation with the owner, who told him we were NOT ALLOWED to bring the boys back to his campground together again!!! Why would you tell someone that!!! They are BOYS... ages 12 and 13! They were NOT throwing rocks at people, there was no one in the vicinity of them... they threw a couple SMALL pebbles at each others feet!! As far as the flashlight episode goes, they were WALKING around the campground, in the dark, at night, with a flashlight that may have ACCIDENTALLY shined in a campsite or two while WALKING!!! They were not PURPOSELY doing it! Lastly, the jumping on the counter in the ice cream shop!!! GIVE ME A BREAK!!! You can CLEARLY and very EASILY walk around the counter if you want to! Jesus, the friend that came with my son had to be helped climbing in the back of my husbands truck!! There is NO WAY that him or my son climbed on a glass counter!! This campground is definitely geared more toward the elderly and the retired! Most sites there are permanent so the "weekenders" or the "vacationers" get the short end of the stick. They do not get the same treatment or respect as the "regulars" especially if they have kids! Boys are boys!!! I understand they need to be respectful and responsible, however, it's a campground, they are on peddle bikes, messing around with each other, minding their own business and hurting not ANYONE! My opinion would be do not go here if you have children, especially preteen to teenager boys. There is not much geared towards kids at this place. Almost all campgrounds have pools, ice cream and a playground. There are other options. If you have children, maybe pick a better place that is more for your children. Unfortunately, camping at a place that doesn't put children first, will no longer be my first choice. I also want to add that my husband and I don't smoke marijuana but it was definitely present at the campground... so my boys can't be "boys" but I have to smell that crap everyday I'm camping, because it's "legal" For years, I would have proudly and happily given Belden Hill a 10 star review but after this weekend and feeling like this place had it out for my boys from the second we showed up, it's a one because I can't give a zero. One of the BEST(and the worse) parts of this whole experience was, as he (the owner) was talking to my husband, he said REPEATEDLY, "boys will be boys" Pick a side Brian!!! Either the elderly or the vacationeers! I bet you didn't tell the people that complained about us "boys will be boys" I can only hope they see this review and realize you are playing both sides!! But then again, since you favor the elderly and the retired, they probably don't have much to do with google reviews! The whole experience is sickening!
