Old Forge Camping Resort

Very basic amenities, and crowded in the summer season. Golf cart traffic was annoying and prevalent. Only two showers and toilets (co-ed) for our section of the park made for some uncomfortable waits. Our basic cabin had a torn screen which we repaired ourselves. The directional signs are reflective, but in anything but a pickup truck, you won't be able to read them. Frustrating if getting in after dark. Expensive for what we got. Had to pay a deposit for a second key. Nice little lake, and well equipped camp store.

Ended up booking a camper site here with full hookups. Loved every minute of it. Campground is full of activity and campers were all friendly. The walk to water safari is about 15 min and not bad at all. Checking in was super quick, you cannot check in even 1 min early. It's not the employees it's the computer system. It's set on a clock so don't arrive early. Place is super clean and the wildlife is abundant.

I originally booked 2 cabins with hopes of getting a cottage instead. I called on a regular basis. We ended up being able to get a cottage but would need to move sites on the Friday. And I was Fine with that as long as i was expecting it. Then I received a call on July 3 letting us know that a cottage was available for the entire stay and we wouldnt need to move after all. I was super excited ! When we got there I checked in confirmed that we would not need to move cottages and as promised I brought the staff cookies as a thank you. The next day I received a call letting us know we had to switch cottages. We were on or way to the water safari, had to come all the way back, pack all our stuff up and switch cottages. I also shared the message that I received from them with the manager letting them see with their own eyes that I was told that they had a cottage available for us for our entire stay so we would not have to move. They didn’t seam to care much. We still had to move. So we ended up moving sites. So We won’t be back. We were at cottage 2 for the second part of our stay. The view and site was nice. And the cottage was pretty much exactly the same as the cottage we had to move from. This was our 3rd year camping here. Also, the store and showers close super early. So if you need something go early. Also they used to have breakfast sandwiches in the am, that is no longer a thing there. And the small fridges are very small. Pack a cooler . And a fan. And the park smells like pot. I personally can’t stand it. I know a lot of people like it but while camping i prefer the smell of the great out doors. Not drugs. On a positive note, cottage # 2 is better than cottage #5 because you can park right there and bring your stuff right to the door from the stairs. Cottage 5 has a hill you need to walk down to get to the site.

This year was a first for me and my family. We absolutely loved it. It was such a peaceful stay. I think its great that all of the trees are put to great use with their man made cabins, and constant firewood to burn. It was a great place to stay. The other guest were friendly and respectful, everything seems to get quiet as soon as it gets dark, which is great on a family get away. They have a private beach, an arcade, and laundry on site. I was pretty unprepared for this trip and it still was a great time. The start of a family tradition.

I have camped here for over 20yrs. this year I arrived at 515pm to find office closed. they sent an email( my service was awful so I didn't get ) drove 2.5 hours. arrived and had no clue how to get to my cabin or get a key. I called the number on the board no one called me back. I had to find a spot with service finally was able to pull up email. this was all very frustrating after driving 2.5 hours with kids. then I was unable to purchase wood or anything at the camp store, we had to pack up the kids go into town and find some that was wet. I have never in the past years experienced this. its a holiday week and they close at 5pm!!!! furthermore I have not seen one security person, staff person at night. I always felt safe here and loved this place this was very disappointing. also have not seen 1 cleaning person , the bathroom was horrible , no toilet paper and of corse no staff to contact , what is going on, I heard there is new owners they need to get priorities set and hire staff instead of making money. because they will lose long term customers on a positive note the bedding is much better than it use to be
