Clean, well-maintained park with lots of amenities. Pull-through sites are a little too close together for me however not horrible. FHU, mostly level gravel sites with tables and fire pits. Park WiFi was adequate for streaming YouTube TV. Friendly, professional accommodating staff. Heavily treed and was beautiful in late October. Convenient to grocery stores.

This is a very nice and quiet KOA. Even though they were fully booked it was very quiet. Pretty close to Philly and far enough away from the city to enjoy it. Very clean restrooms. Showers were hot and just the right amount of pressure. Friendly staff and our dog really enjoyed the dog park. Will stay here again when in the area!

Philadelphia South / Clarksboro KOA Holiday is my favorite place to glamp, and it's incredibly dog-friendly. We've been coming here for years and absolutely love it. It's a small campground with multiple tent sites (no electric) and cozy cabins. Tent site have a picnic table, fire pit and a fairly large area for your tent and car. Most cabins are fully furnished with queen beds, a full bathroom, a kitchen, a dining area, and a pull-out sofa. (No bugs inside the cabins.) Everything is always clean, and the staff is very helpful. The Wi-Fi has gotten much better over the years. They also have a swimming pool, a game room, and various camping games. It's very family-friendly, and all dogs must be leashed outside of the dog park. While we usually stay in a cabin so we can watch TV on Sundays (Go Birds!), we also love to tent camp every once in a while. This location is also just 20 minutes from South Philly and all stores that you could possibly need are within a 5-10 minute drive. This place is open all year round, and both my dog and I love it!

This is a great GEM right outside of Philly! My family and I hosted my son's 12th birthday here last summer...we stayed in two of the deluxe cabins right on the pond and had such a phenomenal experience that we returned again this year! This year we did both a cabin and a tent site; which were situated directly across the pond from each other. The cabins are clean and well-stocked with everything you need, including linens. Our tent site was nice and the bathhouse was very clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful...even was able to get a jump on our departure day...thanks sooooo much for that!!! Such a family-friendly place! Each year my boys have made friends with other campers....this is what camping is all about! Being able to watch them run between the cabin or tent site and the playground...and then to the "secret island" was just amazing. They had fishing competitions (they each caught over 1 fish, but mommy caught the large mouth bass) and tried to catch turtles. The pool was a great hit and they spent hours there, as well. I can't say enough about the positive experiences that my family has had here; we are definitely looking to return.

Our deluxe cabin was very clean and well stocked. Loved having the half bath. Appreciated the paved walking paths around cabins, made our walk to the pool much easier. Pool area was clean and kids enjoyed the jumping pillow too. We were there mostly during the week (Saturday - Wednesday) so, after Sunday morning it was pretty peaceful. We didn't have problems with Saturday night noise or crowds but it was a significant difference during the week. Nice quiet location to escape too after the busyness (and traffic) of Philly. Would stay again if we were in the area!
