This family-oriented destination offers a variety of camping options, ranging from rustic tent sites to full-hookup RV sites capable of accommodating larger rigs.

Nearby Attractions & Things to Do

We Love lake glory campground. We stayed in a cabin. It was so fun and the staff at the office were so kind and informative, especially about the park. Even the bus driver who takes you to Knoebles was so kind and came back for our family bc we weren’t ready at the exact time the bus was leaving. I also appreciate how clean the bathrooms are for a campground. I def recommend this camp ground for families.

We had a wonderful stay at Lake Glory Campground! It’s a beautiful and peaceful spot, my husband even fished right in the lake and caught some largemouth bass and a small catfish. The scenery was absolutely picturesque, especially in the fall with that gorgeous autumn haze that made everything look like something out of Pinterest. The campground itself was quiet, clean, and well maintained. Not every campsite was booked during our stay, which made it feel spacious and not overcrowded. The shuttle to Knoebels was super convenient and a great perk for campers. The only downside was that our tent site was near some campers who stayed up until about 1:15 a.m. our first night and were quite loud. Since we were in a tent, we could hear everything. We didn’t end up complaining, but it did take away from the peaceful atmosphere that night. Overall though, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again especially in the fall!

The cabins were disappointing. There are nothing but a box with no AC or heat. Bring your own air conditioner or heater. Bring your own mattress as theirs are not very good. The personnel there are fantastic and very very nice. The service there is excellent. Everything in the campsite is fantastic except for the cabins. I on have been going there for 30 years now in my own RV and I've always had a great time. But if you're renting a cabin be prepared for what you get.

Campground is beautiful. Tons of shaded spacious sites with picnic tables and fire rings. Very quiet and relaxing. Approximately 5 min drive to Knoebels and 1 hr scenic drive to lake tobias wildlife park. Staff was very friendly.

This was by far the worst campground experience I’ve ever had. The staff was incredibly rude and unhelpful from the moment we arrived. There was no warm welcome, no guidance—just attitude. It felt like they didn’t want us there at all. The sites were poorly maintained, bathrooms were dirty, and the campground rules were enforced in the most aggressive and inconsistent way possible. To top it all off, the security acted more like patrol officers than campground staff, constantly circling and harassing us for minor things. We came to relax, not to be policed. The service was absolutely unacceptable, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful camping trip. Save your money and go somewhere that actually respects its guests(Sandy Cove is a great resort)

Couldn't have asked for a better time. The staff and fellow campers were beyond a great time. The general store is packed with things you needed and thought you didn't need. The grounds are very well kept and the campsites are sizable. They definitely earned a return trip
