Lovely campground with lots of mature trees. We just stayed one night on our way somewhere else but I would definitely stay here again. The man that booked us in said his mom had run the campground for 51 years. They had a pool and other amenities we didn't use.

Camp grounds are very maintained and very clean.. the owners are very nice and helpful. If you need anything all you need to do is ask. I will definitely bring my family back here soon or next year I would like to come back a few times. Thank you

Awesome owner, very nice guy. Campground was clean overall as far as the sites and facilities go, wasn't too much going on and was very quiet. The site we had was perfectly level almost and very roomy and large with plenty of room for a large RV. Full hookups all worked perfectly, and the whole campground is covered with trees, making it very easy to keep cool or stay out of the sun. They also have a pool which looked pretty nice, they were working on getting it open for memorial day. Nice and close to the turnpike, plenty of places and things to do nearby. Will be coming back again!

Not bad at all. No complaints although it rained every day I was there. But it's not the camps fault it's mother natures...also I was able to get a food delivery via instacart.

A truly nice campground. Literally tucked into the woods with easy access from the turnpike...a quarter of a mile. Every site was shady! Bathroom/showers were old but clean. I could see the Nice sized pool from my site and the rec center although I never made it inside. I am definitely planning another trip there!

Made a reservation 1 month in advance. I thought it was odd they didn't take my credit card or provide a confirmation number, its a privately owned place and i wasn't going to question their reservation process woman i spoke with said they wrote down our name, and we would settle up when we arrived. However when we arrived they were booked and didn't have our reservations. Thank goodness the owner sent us down the road to another campground which had room for us.

Dan was super nice, he showed us right to our spot and guided us in. All the tree cover was awesome, very nice & shady. The turnpike traffic sound was unobtrusive. We will be back!
George Spieth
A beautiful spot, easy to reach from the turnpike. Awesome pull through site with full hookups. Love the trees and quiet here. We will definitely camp here again.

We were seasonal campers here for 13 years. The campground is small but it is clean and well shaded. It is owned by Betty Yeckel. She's very nice. Her son Dan, owns and runs the body shop out next to the main road, Rte.31. He helps his mother tremendously with the campground. I see someone complained of a sewage smell. The campground uses a leach bed system that is in the woods below the place. When it is a major holiday weekend and the place is loaded up with campers, one should expect some discomforts. The bathrooms are dated but clean and work well. The pool is of nice size. It is filled from an underground spring so the water temp is quite cool most of the time. This place is as mentioned, close to the turnpike. It's also fairly close to Seven Springs. Ohio Pyle isn't all that far away either. This place is the cheapest in the area. If you want laid back camping, then go here. If your looking for a lot of hoopla, go elsewhere.
