Could be a great place. Looks like they are trying to make improvements, the 10+ pull-though sites were fine with new concrete patios. But the rest is essentially a junk yard. Very old full-time residents that have junk everywhere and most site are a muddy mess. Electric and sewer hookup are at the back so most don’t reach. Low hanging trees coming and going. Too bad, could be nice next to the river. Staff was helpful.

Great place to camp with lots of activities. There is a big playground for the children. The children all interact and are playing until the sun goes down! The owners are very friendly! This has been our first year camping and had visited twice. We will definitely be going back! Another perk is it is close to Knoebels!

Stayed here a couple of days at the conclusion of a bicycle tour. Improvements have been made since I was last there in 2017 thanks to new owners. It’s handy to have a pavilion with tables and a water tap when you don’t have an RV/trailer. You can snake through the back streets to get to the grocery stores on the east end of town. Easy walk to the river. Grounds were well tended. Even though things were ramping up for the fair, people were still well behaved. Really nice owners clearly care about the place.

Went there for a night, but wishing we did more. My girlfriend and I went here to camp for a night fir the Bloomsburg fair, very nice staff and a very clean campground. It was nice and peaceful and could not complain about the pricing for staying. We agree we will come back to this campground in the future with hopefully more nights planned to stay.

Our first time here was good. The site we had was very spacious-plenty of activities-friendly staff-well maintained grounds-the only thing I can see is that the sites need to be labeled better but other than that it’s a great place. The Fourth of July fire works were nice. The only complaint there is that my daughter lit off a ground fountain and they said that u weren’t allowed to do so, but it didn’t specify any where that u couldn’t that I could see.

won't be back....very muddy.grass not mowed..and large holes in the roads through out the campground....price is too high with nothing to do...no pool..or activities..we camped there many times but this was and is last time in 12 years....needs a good management team it's a gold mine..but not anymore...

We've stayed here for the Bloomsburg Fair for nearly 40 years and enjoyed the place. It was sold a few years ago and has gone down hill since. The woman who manages it is an ignorant b!+(h ! We pulled over at the office to check in as we always do and she pulled up in her pickup and started yelling like a wild woman that we're blocking the road but she had plenty of room to pass us with her truck.. We will never come back again! We have stop in the same spot to sign in.every year..

Very relaxing no frills type campground with a big middle field. My kids loved running around the field. No one bothers you great place to stay for Bloomsburg fair, pull through full hookup sites have enough space. Only downside was it was A little muddy, some permanent trailers are pretty run down and the office store really has nothing for sale. Right on the Susquehanna river I'm sure makes for good fishing.
