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!

Stayed 6/17-6/19. In town just for the Manchester and Wydad game. Front desk ladies are not friendly nor helpful. Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced at any KOA. The manager especially acted as she didn’t care if we were pleased or not with our stay there. Upon arrival we checked in and were taken to our site, per usual. Once we pulled up to the site we knew it was not what we had reserved nor paid for. It was in the woods and we had reserved a spot near the pond with a fire pit and patio. So we went back and requested one of the sites that matched the description of what we paid for and there was two spots that no one was parked in and the manager refused to put us in either because other people were coming in the next day they had assigned them to. So apparently we did not deserve to get what we paid for but people who were coming in the following day did. Make it make sense. So we ended up getting a site near the playground with no fire pit nor patio. It was a downgrade and nothing like what we reserved. Even to transition to a pull through near the pond without a patio and fire pit, the lady at the front originally wanted to charge us more. All they kept saying was, we’ll need to talk with marketing about the description of sites. And mentioned that marketing was not even handled locally. Not sure how any of this was my problem or fault. So they pass off the blame of the issue to a department/person who was not even local nor able to fix it. So be warned that they are unaccommodating and you might not get what you actually reserve or pay for. The only good experience was the guide who took us to our spot, Martin. He said he understood our frustration and profusely apologized that they didn’t do more to accommodate us and give us a site we’d paid for. He did bring us some wood saying he hoped it help us have a better night than how the afternoon had started. So outside of Martin, nothing positive to say about our stay here.

Arrived at 7:30 PM and arrived at the accommodation, but had a bad experience, but was satisfied with the satisfactory handling and service through the staff Norm and Kelly. I liked the well-decorated landscaping and facilities of the koa. I would like to express my gratitude to Norm and Kelly.

Camped in a full hook up (W/E/S/cable) RVsite for a few days over the Memorial Day Weekend as our first (quick) trip of the Year (shakedown) to make sure everything was working to be ready for the camping season. A few weeks ago when I made the reservation, there were only 2 sites left, so we had a pull through site near the front gate (typically narrow, generally for quick overnights passing through). The rest of the sites and campground were very pretty, spacious, plenty of trees, paved roads perfect for walking. The small lake and dog park are very nice. Convenient to Philadelphia and South Jersey, in a quiet wooded neighborhood. Small camp store, but plenty of shopping and restaurants within a few minutes in any direction

Solid location. Right off the highway yet quiet. Getting into Philly was easy, 30 minute drive to the Patco train and then 20 minutes to downtown. We stayed at a backin site right by the jumping pillow. Site was easy to back into and the location was great for our younger kids. Would recomend.

We are regular KOA customers and have stayed at this campground several times before but our latest visit (yesterday) was a disappointment. We were traveling in our class A coach and our friends were in their camper trailer. When our friends arrived at their site, the people next to them had ~20 people partying with loud music and marijuana smoke. Our friends asked one of the workers driving around in a golf cart about the noised and he said "It is Easter weekend. It is going to be loud". They then called the office to inquire about moving to a different they were told that there was only one other site available (right across from the partiers) and it would cost them more money. We were fortunate enough to have a site that was not near the noise and as we looked around, we saw 3 sites (#11, #100, one other near #11) near us that were empty and could have solved the problem but the office staff lied that there were no other sites available. Most people go camping to relax not to be blasted with someone else's loud music and marijuana smoke. It would have been very easy to move our friends to one of the vacant sites in the front part of the campground and they would have had 4 appreciative customers. Instead they lied and did nothing to address the issue and now have 4 dis-satisfied customers were will not likely return to their campground.

I had to do some maintenance on the cabin when we arrived. Toilet seat was falling off and toilet paper roll holder was almost off the wall, so I repaired those. Found a pair of underware under mattress of bunk bed. Chris the younger man that works for KOA is rude and obnoxious. Other campers complained of this also. The store closes at 5. Other than that it was a nice cabin and we enjoyed our stay.

A wonderful park that was well kept, close to Philly and had a great play area for the kids. Staff was friendly and helpful. Easy to get to with a 36ft class A.
