We were at the RV buddy site. The hookups were convenient, we bought shirts at the store and had a great time with our friends. The mini golf was very enjoyable and our location was perfect! We'll definitely be back next year!

First time to the campgrounds. Very clean, sites were all well kept, people all were very friendly. Great place to camp for a few days or for the hole season. Had a very nice time. Will definitely visit again. Had sites for any kind of camper. Can pull up in your RV or pitch a tent. Can even rent little cabins. Have a pool, arcade, playground a stocked pond for fishing. And have different events thru out the season.

Really nice campground in a beautiful setting. Helpful and friendly staff too. Enjoyed the camp store, their little library, and the surrounding area. The nearby Sand Spring Trail is an amazing hike. Met some really nice people in Rehrersburg, including a church elder organist at the local historic church who invited us in for a tour and played their 200 year old organ for us. What a treat! Thanks for a fantastic getaway! We highly recommend this campground.

Easy to get to right off the highway but it wasn't too noisy. Loved the campground. Frog pond was a big hit. Fishing available with bait vending machine in the campground. Nice sites with plenty of space. Icecream shop was a favorite. They also have an arcade.
