The entire place smelled like sour diarrhea the morning after we arrived and intermittently throughout our 5-day stay, it almost made me puke multiple times, it was unbearable. There were people ignoring quiet hours and children yelling throughout the night. The camp store and laundry were convenient, and the office delivers firewood and ice. The sites are very close together and there is quite a bit of light pollution, so don't expect a dark or quiet stay. You'll be better off in a hotel for all the trouble this place was. The ONE thing it has going for it is proximity to Dorney Park.

Arrived late and check-in was easy with our site clearly marked. Spot was close to bathrooms, quiet, and well lit. Woke up to a peaceful stream right behind us—perfect for morning coffee. Dog-friendly and easy to walk around. Great stay, we’ll definitely be back!

The campground is great. Lost of activities for children and things to do. Everything is very well cleaned and staff is nice. Owner is kinda weird. The wifi is horrible and there are lots of wood bees and nests everywhere. Some cabins don't have a refrigerator which we didn't know until be already checked in. We had to throw away lots of things that had to be refrigerated. The place overall is fine. Probably won't come back.

Overall this is a nice KOA, it’s just a bit small compared to others. My biggest complaint is that the map on the website and the photos of the campground are not accurate. This campground describes that they have 2 playgrounds (see screenshot from website, taken today) when in reality they only have one and it’s very small/not one of the ones pictured, which is a bit misleading. The map given at check in IS accurate, but it was still a bummer for my kiddos and us to realize when we arrived that aside from the one small playground and pool there wasn’t too much else to do. The rec center was closed and bolted locked for our whole stay, and the pool was closed one day for emergency cleaning. When we did use the pool it was clean, warm and comfortable. The staff were very friendly, and helpful, and the sites are a good size. Lots of space for all your stuff. It’s a nice central location to some really fun outdoor activities, and close to a grocery store/gas if it’s needed. Overall it wasn’t bad. I’d have given more stars if the photos on the website reflected the actual play area for the kids

Wonderful campground! Very accommodating owners! My family and I visited this campground for a long weekend to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. Our immediate family came from all over the country and the owners were more than gracious enough to accommodate us in cabins, tents and RV sites. Visitors were coming and going all the time and the owners welcomed each one with a smile, providing ample parking. All the bathrooms we visited were extremely clean. The playground was well maintained. We enjoyed some mini golf while we were there and even saw a snake. Would definitely visit again. Thank you!

Nice campground. The staff was helpful and courteous. The cabin site was very clean and there was a nice quiet evening. Cost of wood a bit high and the campsites are a bit small/close together. However, the site was perfect fir the hubby and I. It'd be a tight fit for a family. The showers/restrooms need a little updating. 1 shower didn't work and 1 toilet kept running so couldn't be used. But it was clean!! Close to Allentown, PA so there's a bunch if stuff to do.

Not to be biased but this is the hidden jewel of the Lehigh Valley. We have a great crew and we are constantly updating the campground. Looking forward to seeing everybody soon. We open the season on April 1st 2022... We are open.. The pool opens Memorial Day weekend..

We stayed the winter and the roads were constantly and consistently a sheet of ice, owner did plow, but put barely any salt or treatment down. Husband is pleasant, wife is moody and nice once in a full moon. I had my reservation through 04.11.22 and she made us leave by April 1st. In addition, she also threw out someone waiting on a liver transplant and also a woman very pregnant (who had a longer reservation like us). No one was behind on their rents! In addition, they also moved a couple w/camper pre 2000 perm and moved them on upper level because they were friends w one of the maint team. Wife is extremely unprofessional.

Cute Koa near several wineries. The only thing that needs to be improved is the bathroom situation.
