We stayed at this KOA for our son’s wedding. We had about 35 people in our family stay between cabins, campers, a tent and the glamping tent. We loved this KOA! The staff is extremely helpful, friendly, accommodating, and polite. Debby and Julie at the front desk are so welcoming. The park is clean and lots for kids to do. It’s also great for sleeping. There are lights, but only where necessary so you sleep well. We had a rehearsal dinner here and rented the pavilion. The staff placed ever parking and directed people to parking spaces. The WiFi is not great, but we couldn’t get service until we were almost halfway to Honesdale, so wifi issues might not be the park’s issue. We will be back and look forward to that visit!

The staff is very helpful and friendly. The sites are somewhat level, but we had one that was pretty good. Shower design is unusual, but lights going off when in the shower is a bit unusual, however, the hot water running out was bad

We had a great time here. From the time we checked in, the staff took care of us. The owner made sure we had a spot big enough. Andy the camp host was the best I've ever experienced. From guiding us to and into our site when we arrived to helping us with some camper troubleshooting to filling propane tanks. He is definitely an asset to your team! Very dog friendly with a little dog park to let them stretch their legs after a long ride. A nice dip in the pool with some other friendly campers. Oh, and the bathrooms by our site were spotless!

Campground had a spot open on 4th of July. Pool, inflatable bounce thing for kids, food truck, camp store great campground and so grateful to them. I missed my original plan with a truck issue delaying me. They had a quick spot, guide to escort to spot, clean restrooms, showers and awesome coffee

Great spot for campers or tent camping. Super clean facilities, tons of activities for children, and interactive staff. My only complaint is the fire rings are far too small if you plan on cooking on fire. Besides that, this place is great!
