I assumed that the place is the most visited in the vicinity during this season as line going up to…read morethe top was long. The conveyor belted ramp helps us save our energy as pulling the rubber tube up required one. It was not that high when i reached the top - was very deceiving looking from the bottom. The ramp has about 6 lanes so the line moves so fast. The staff was nice and giving each tuber a good push. There is an option to dive to your tube. The slope was slanted and curving up at the end so everyone automatically stopped. A waiver needs to be signed before paying the $15 admission fare. They gave a tag that is required to wear. It shows that you were given access climbing up to the top. I heard that each rider is allowed to come up and down as many times as he want within the two hour time frame. We get bored at round 4. Kids will definitely enjoy it. Doesn't need to be staying in one of the resort villas to be in. Free parking is available . There is a restaurant by the ticket window that anyone can hang out before it after the tube run. A good place to visit when in the area.

Absolutely sucked, DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!There were over 100 people waiting on the mountain - a…read morehuge pile up to the point where there wasn't even space left on the mountain, all for a 30 second thrill. We spent $200 to wait for 30 minutes to go down once. It's clear that they just wanted to pack as many people as they could onto the hill, regardless of how long the wait times would be. We paid for 2 hours of tubing, but we stayed for one ride, which was a 30 minute wait, so we would MAYBE get to go down the hill 4 times, if we were lucky. Couldn't even be bothered to wait to go down again, it was so not worth it. If they're actually following the 50% capacity requirement now I can't even imagine what the wait times would be like at full capacity. Total rip-off. Save your money and your time, and go somewhere else to snow tube.

If for just the well provisioned campfire and view of surrounding woods, Babbling Brook Cottages…read morewould rate five stars. There is so much more. Our stay was very comfortable in the Toasted Marshmallow. The cabin is very clean, modern and comes with a well stocked kitchen. The host family is on property but out of sight and sound. Terri and Lamar our hosts were a pleasure to work with answering our many questions pre-booking. During our stay they provided valuable information and suggestions about the best hikes, waterfalls, restaurants and surrounding area. We loved our stay at Babbling Brook Cottages; had a fabulous time in the area and will recommend it to all of our friends and family.

Pro: Easy check-in and online booking Con: Don't know what…read morespot you'll get until you get there Pro: Great location very close to downtown Jim Thorpe Con: Noisy campground at night until about midnight or so Pro: Seems like it'd be nice for families with all the family friendly things to do at the campground. I was just traveling alone and needed a place to stay the night on the cheaper side. Con: No privacy, campsites are essentially on top of each other. I've never camped so close to another campsite (the neighbors were only 10-20 feet away) Pro: A fire ring and picnic table at each campsite from what I could tell Con: Pretty expensive for what you get. I think I paid about $53 before tax. Still a lot cheaper than most motels, hotels, or airbnbs though

Camping here for years, great campground, great staff. Internet was an issue, but they just…read moreupgraded their internet. Clean bathrooms, reasonable prices for tent sites and cabins. Almost every weekend they do a movie in the pavilion. If I had one concern, I wish they did a little more events with the campers. Will always recommend this campground.

We stayed for our second time at Hemlock campground and are super happy we found our go to spot to…read morestay in the Poconos! The owners are very friendly and the campsites are excellent. We stayed in an RV spot (#51) which was perfect. Easy back in and plenty of room to hang out outside of the camper. The majority of the campground is heavily shaded by trees which is exactly what you need during summer months. Not to mention you get the full camping experience here vs other campgrounds that clear the trees to pack in as many spots as possible. Although we were only there for a few days the long term RV campers were very friendly to us which made us feel even more welcome. Also the wifi was perfect the entire time we stayed there. This isn't something to take for granted at a campground so it's worth noting and we are thankful for it! Although tent camping isn't our thing anymore we noticed how awesome the tent sites were. They looked spacious and comfortable so based on what we saw I'd recommend tent camping there as well!

I wish I would read reviews before I book stay here. All…read morebad reviews that owner Barbara rude and "karen" is true. I booked 1 bdr cottage for 2 night stay with my family(two kids). Room was smelling of smoke and dog pee. I asked the owner to change the room but she refused to do it with the reason no available cottage right now. Despite all cottacges around were empty. Then we told her that we have no choice but stay(because didn't want to ruin vacation on first day) but also my wife told her that she will write review about smell. Then she turned to angry bird and switched to mood "karen" mode. She and her husband tried to find justification to kick us out from the campground. And they found it. My 13 years old daughter was in a swimming pool and suddenly she approches to us with aggression like: "your daughters lied to me with saying she is almost 14 when she is actually 13. So she can't be in the swimming pool by herself and for that reason we have to leave. After back on forth police came and told us that the business owner doesn't want you guys on their property so leave. So again, first day and they asked us to leave in middle of the night with two kids(5 and 13). She said going to refund all amount and I didn't argue at the beginning tried to be nice and deescalate the situation but barbara openly said that she doesn't like my wife and will not let her stay here. Wow... she really was a mean to us promised to refund but after packed up she hide behind a closed doors and didn't even want to take the key )) Long story short every bad review about rudeness of these people are true. This business with this behavior's should go out of the business very soon.

This KOA was very clean, maintained with updating going on thru out Park. Even though this park is Big Rig friendly, the road in is very precarious; lots of low hanging tree limbs and narrow roads to the park. We were in a 45' Class A towing a jeep.

Not all RV parks that are open during the off-season charge cheap rates. This KOA should reduce the cost or waive the EV fee during the off-season. I spent $98 total for 1 night: $80 for the campsite + $18/day EV surcharge--a ripoff for few open amenities during winter months and a level-2 charge that only got me to 50% before I departed. I have stayed at other RV parks that were as little as $25/night for the same sleep-in-your-car experience. I was grateful that this KOA was open during the off-season and that the owner answered the phone after hours to confirm they were still open during the winter and had electrical hook ups that we could use. But the same money was better spent on my return trip on a nice room at a Radisson hotel with a ChargePoint charger.

Paid extra for the dome tent with a hot tub. Having to buy their wood and heat it for hours was…read moreboth annoying and kind of ridiculous. Considering how expensive it was, did nickel and dime $10 for wood that cost them nothing is kinda sad! They should absolutely include a bundle of wood for that. They also told us that you cannot bring your own wood or you could receive a fine, their wood is overpriced at 10$/bundle. The tent itself was very nice. You could open it up to a view of the woods, although through the plastic it wasn't exactly like a glass window. It came with air-conditioning and a little firewood heater for inside. They also had a sauna on property which was nice to have. But again, you had to buy wood and get the fire going yourself, then let it heat up for a while in order to enjoy it. They had some other small things on the property, small game room that we didn't use, some kids activities and what not. Not even a three minute drive away was a very cool lake that we were able to rent a small motorboat and also went swimming later on by a beach area. One thing that absolutely freaked us out is the first night we had both a mother and cub Bear come to our campsite. We absolutely freaked out with this, but according to one of the employees, those bears are there a lot looking for food and they've never hurt anybody. Still kind of freaky to see a full-size bear on your picnic table! We also saw a rattlesnake the next morning at a tent near our but from a distance so no big deal. Finally, we had received an email when we initially booked. The checkout was at 11 then they sent us a text the morning of saying it was at 10 and they actually locked us out Literally a few minutes after 10. So we had to call up and explain what happened and they gave us till 11 AM. Overall, we enjoyed camping there, but they definitely ruined the experience with all the nickel and diming nonsense and forcing you to buy their wood for an extra money grab! Lots of other campsites so I don't know if we would return.

We stayed at the double bed hot tub dome tent, which is one of the more expensive tents. With the…read moreamount of money paid we were really disappointed to not have a view of the woods, but instead of what looks like a storage yard and a maintenance shed which workers used so would walk through our campsite. The site was also flooded around the fire ring the whole stay. We were also surprised and disappointed to have to pay even more to heat up the hot tub, even though there is already a big initial charge to book a tent with a hot tub. So we paid a lot extra for a tent with that amenity, only to arrive and not be able to use it unless we pay even more. The fire wood was also sold at 10$ a bundle, which is a lot more than i have paid in other camp/glamps in the region. Overall it has a trendy vibe with some cool amenities , but we had a realllllly bad view which diminished the experience (especially for the amount of $$$), a flooded camp, and we felt nickel & dimed with the hot tub. Because of this, this was actually my least favorite stay so far in PA.
