Honest Review of a Quiet Campground with Some Caveats…read more Overall, this is a nice, peaceful campground. The sites are clean, the grounds are well-maintained, and it's a relaxing place to unwind. If you're just looking for a quiet spot to camp and do your own thing, it can absolutely work. That said, there are a few things to keep in mind: Minimal Amenities: Don't expect organized activities or a bustling campground store. It's very much a "set up camp and entertain yourself" kind of place. The store is rarely open, so if you forget supplies, you'll likely need to make a trip into town. Mixed Interactions with Staff: The owner (wife) was unfortunately not very welcoming. She came off as rude and unapproachable, which definitely took away from the experience. At one point, she walked through our campsite, apparently checking for outside firewood--because clearly, smuggling in a few logs is high on every camper's to-do list. (For the record, we bought our wood just a mile down the road.) To put it gently, she gives off strong Karen energy--the kind that makes you half-expect her to demand to see your firewood receipt. Even a seasonal camper warned us, "Yeah... she's like that." Honestly, when she went on vacation during part of our stay, everything just ran smoother. The atmosphere relaxed, people seemed more at ease, and the whole campground had better vibes. Coincidence? You decide. Friendly Staff Balance: Thankfully, her husband was the complete opposite--laid-back, helpful, and a pleasure to talk to. The maintenance guy was also fantastic--friendly, hardworking, and clearly takes pride in keeping the place nice. So, would I come back? Maybe--with the right expectations. If you're self-sufficient and looking for a clean, quiet place to camp, this can absolutely work. Just don't expect warm hospitality... unless you catch them while the campground's Karen-in-chief is on vacation. And yes, I'm probably getting a snarky response for this--but hey, I'm just one camper trying to give others a heads-up.

All I can say is I've been camping my whole life (49yrs) and have never been to a campground this nice. Small stocked pond to fish, very clean and well kept place, clean good tasting water, showers are equally as nice as the MGM penthouse suite or the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas, they have a swimming pool, outdoor kitchen where on holidays and events they cook for the campers, laundry area, then there are the upgraded mini deck sites that come with Adirondack chairs, all sites come with water and electric (probably sewer hook up too but we didn't talk about that). If I didn't own land up here to boondock on, I'd stay here in a heartbeat. You should give it a try!

Edit: I've been made aware that the campground takes theft very seriously. You should make them aware when something goes missing from your campsite. They log missing items & take steps in trying to find the culprits. Thank you Driftstone for addressing my concerns. Outstanding!

The skies were blue, surrounded by green as far as the eye can see, birds were chirping and the warm sun beaming. The campground is beautifully maintained, everyone is very respectful of other campers. The sites are far enough away from one another that it really feels like a camping trip. It's also close enough that I can walk over to the next site to visit a friend. All the sites come with a small cabin. It's very basic but it's sufficient if you chose not to tent camp or if you bring kids or dogs and prefer to stay inside. I woke up to bunnies running all over the campsite. What a view and what an experience! A friend camping near the water spotted a baby brown bear! If you're looking for a fun camping experience with friends, family, your partner or just by yourself I would highly recommend this place! The views are amazing, the locations is clean and well kept, there's firewood that can be purchased on site, it's a quick 90 minute drive if you're coming over from Philadelphia.

We stayed at the Creekside campsite and definitely want to return. We had an absolutely fantastic and serene time on their property. I was very excited to get to see a Black Bear up somewhat close, which also can be scary if you aren't expecting it, but the owners let you know and it seems fairly common there. At dark, we also saw three chirping otters floating down the river together... very adorable. It is way more wild than other campsites, so of course leave your food and cooler in your car. Definitely BE CAREFUL when using the suspension bridge as it slants a bit and can get wet! Firewood will be under a tarp next to some crates along the beginning of the main camp road.
