Rating: 9 9 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Wi-fi internet is for all intentional purposes, useless. No sewer hookups. One dump station. Big sites, good spacing between sites. Good clean Christian run park. Rules enforced for noise. Great kids park. Nice heated pool, playground, dog friendly, game room. Plenty to do in the area. Close to Cabelas. Mostly permanents. Call ahead as weekends fill up quickly. - Salem Cruise Lite
This was our first CG during our first time long term full-time RVing and we were very pleased. We hope that this would be an example of what we will be encountering on our journey. The owners are very nice people that did everything they could to make our stay comfortable. We had the unfortunate timing of hurricane Irene and ended up without electricity for 3 days. But it was all good. Great experience and we learned how to boon dock. The CG has narrow roads made of crushed stone and the location for RVers, nicknamed the airport, is an open space that is newly converted for RVing, with modern electric and water. The spaces were tight, when the park was full. Not much for shade as the trees are still young and not very tall. We stayed during both an empty park, with only a few guests, and a full one, during labor day weekend, which had a lot of activity going on. All in all, it is a clean CG, great people, clean showers, nice pool. The road getting to the CG is steep, as are the roads within the CG. We enjoyed our stay and would return. We recommend this CG. - thesarge7
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Christmas Pines Campground »We camped here in March with our brand new travel trailer (we just picked it up) and it could not have been nicer. The people there were super friendly and let us pick any site that was available. We stayed in what appeared to be a newer gravel section that was really nice and clean. Sites are roomy and well marked. We had a guest visit and they were great. The staff helped us find local activities and was very helpful. Large playground facility that my 5 year old really enjoyed. I enjoyed that the seasonal sites were set apart from the nightly sites; it made it more camping and less summer home. The only thing missing was the sewer hook up, but that is not a deal breaker. - RVFamily1221

Rating: 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Rosemount Camping Resort »After hearing mixed reviews about Rosemount, we went anyway. I think we found a hidden gem. I think Wi-Fi is available at the office. Only reason I didn't give a 10 was because of the funky sewer hookups. Most come out of the ground on steep angles and do not have any fittings. That's easily fixed with duct tape. Pond is nice but not within walking distance. Campground is on a hill but it's not bad to walk. Sites were huge and level, but the exit roads were a little tight. Will return. - mikeh

Rating: 6 6 3 6 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We were here for an overnight. The park is near I-81 but you have to drive a round-about 7 mile trek through narrow potholed roads to get there. The park website said it was 2 miles to I-81 but that is as the crow flies. There had been a number of storms prior to our visit and there were many tree branches down and some severe erosion on the roads and campsite. I would hope that it is cleaned up prior to the busy season. - VtLee
Picked this (out of not much choice) for a "quick" overnight as we drove through PA on 81. While the park is really lovely and looks like a great place for a multi-day stay, for a one-nighter, would recommend a different solution. Pluses: beautiful park on pond with swimming area and fishing, shaded sites, electric hookup. Minuses: much harder to get into than looks on a map -- driving through smaller winding country roads to get to park. Sites are tight, heavily treed, and can be hard to get into on narrow campground roads. Sites not level, so needed all the levelers in this one (and that was suggested as a "good site" for us!). We were in a 26' trailer on site 40. - A New Chapter
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Locust Lake State Park »We've stayed in state parks all over the country and this one was the rudest place. From the person at the front gate to the people at the park. People and kids walk through your camp site while you're sitting there. People on the walking path, four abreast, don't want to move over to let people walking the other direction pass. I couldn't really believe that people acted like this. Dogs were barking all hours. I think every main electrical service we saw was propped up to keep it from falling over. So many sites were not anywhere close to being level. I could go on but I'll sum it up to say that we will not be back. - kspahr

Rating: 6 8 7 10 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: High season rates for adequate site. It was pull through but had to unhook and maneuver to get to over to right side of site. Neighbor's awning hung over to our space and picnic table partially on our site. He wasn't home so we managed. Glad to get satellite access for TV though there were some trees. Staff was very friendly, helpful. Pool looked great though we didn't use it. Park was well maintained. Next time we'd probably go down an exit and camp free at a store parking lot. - rwarner22
The campground was very clean, well maintained and the service was great. Our campsite was next to their beautiful lake/pond area. The reasons I didn't give it an excellent were the showers were timed you paid $.25 for 8 minutes and they were FREEZING! I have never had to pay for a shower before so finding the change to make my shower last was a little difficult. The other thing was our campsite wasn't level we were leaning downhill so trying to make breakfast was a little challenging besides that we really enjoyed our stay here. - NKatieA
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Mountain Springs Camping Resort »Sites were large but extremely difficult to back into. Sites were shaded but not a lot of privacy from your neighbor. Pool was clean, lake was stocked with fish. The few planned activities they had were fun. Staff was friendly. This is connected to a mobile home park, but no problems there. Roads were paved so good for bike riding. Nice playground for the kids. Not sure if we would return as I think we could find better CG's in the area. - autismmom

Rating: 1 3 7 2 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Avoid the place at all costs. The first site they directed us to was not level and the water was not accessible. Other sites on that row had low hanging wires and tree branches. We found a better site in a different area and the lady said it was okay to move there as long as we backed in (there were empty pull throughs) and used 30 amp. We were passport America. So we moved, leveled, pulled out the slides etc. then discovered that the polarity on the 30 amp was reversed and the 50 amp only registered 30 amps with fluctuating current. Luckily is was not hot so we could dry camp. I called the office at 2:30 and she said she would try to find a maintenance person but it was late! In the meantime, the only other person camped in the area said that he had similar problem and the owners son had told him he could move. His coach had a high end surge protector. so he stayed out. The lady in the office called at four and said we could move or they would refund our money, we were only staying one night so we did not bother. In the morning the lady at the desk, with the owner standing right there, said no refunds. This is totally irresponsible to have known electrical problems that could damage your coach. STAY AWAY. - HayNan
We stayed there in July and we had 90 deg weather. Their power was terrible we could not run our A/C voltage to low they had not service people to check our breaker and we not helpful at all. campsite was all stone and hard for the dog to walk around old campground and out of the way. - Dotty Weis
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Pennsylvania Dutch Campsites »This campground is designed for weekend campers with many weekend activities. However, there is an open space that appears to be somewhat recently added, that works for overnight for travelers.This is quite adequate with drive-in spaces with full-hookups including 50 amps. The sites are fairly level, although we had to work a bit to get leveled. The gate to enter the park is quite narrow, so be sure to watch your mirrors, so you do not lose them. The directions to the park in the PP book are confusing. Exit 23 and go south for about 100 yards and turn right (go west) on old route 22. Also, the campground easily accommodated our 40 foot rig, with the toad attached. - hoppytoad

Well, we arrived Friday at 8 o'clock, unhooked and got a fire going. My 17 son took the golf cart out for a ride around the campground. So he came back in 10 mins and behind him came 3 golf carts all being staff including the owner. He didn't even say hi. All he said, as he got into my face, this golf cart you have may not be used in this campground. I did not say a word as he said again this golf cart may not leave the site. He said no gas-powered carts are allowed. As all three of there carts are gas powered. The way he handled it in front of my family was extremely rude. Anyways rules are rules. I just didn't know that was a rule, he could have been a lot nicer...Campground itself is very close together as sites are on top of each other... If you wanna fish in there fishless pond you have to pay 5 bucks a person. What a joke!!!! Sites are not level either. Would not recommend. - Harrison jones
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Appalachian RV Campground »We were very excited to visit this campground. There were pluses and minuses to the campground. First the positives: The roads were pretty easy to navigate, our site was easy to pull in to, there was a greeter at the main gate with our paperwork, made it very easy to check in, this I think was because it was 4th of July weekend. There was a live band one night and a DJ the next, the proximity of our sites to the stage made it easy for us to sit at our campsites and enjoy the music. My wife and I do not have small children but there were many activities to keep kids busy. The pool was nice but perhaps a little on the small side. The camp store was stocked with the basics. The ice cream store was also very nice. The campground was also nicely kept, very clean. Now for the negatives: While the pull sites were very long, they were also very narrow. Our door opened up to a common space that was shared by our neighbors. Now, in our case our neighbors were our very good friends who went along with us. The sites alternated in which direction you pulled in. So our door and our friends door opened up towards each other. Our campers were so close to one another that we could not put our awnings all the way out without bumping into each other. there were two fire rings and two picnic tables in the common space. For us wasn't a problem but if you didn't know your neighbors you'd have to pick the one you wanted to use. As far as the campsite itself, it was far from level. I've never been in a campsite so unlevel before. Out friends camper was so high in the front that their bottom step was about three feet off the ground. Fortunately, they had a foldable step that they could use to get in their trailer. The last thing I would like to point out is that the claimed "Well stocked" pond was a disappointment. Over three days of fishing I only caught one Bass, it was the only fish I saw that was caught over those three days. - Tim W

Rating: 8 7 7 6 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stopped twice once on our way northbound on our second day of traveling and southbound on our way home. Owners were very friendly. We found it the perfect place to stop due to it's proximity to I-81 though as others have mentioned it is a bit steep coming down hill to the entrance but my older Tundra was able to make the descent and climb with ease on both visits. Next time we plan to stay for at least a day to relax and enjoy the pool. - Tom Killackey
We stayed here for just one night as it is close to I-81. We were very pleased with the look of the place, felt like we were in a state park! Very heavily treed so our site was kept cool in the hot weather. Only 30 amps so you have to be aware of that, but it was a pleasant place to be. We were in a pull-thru that was long enough to leave our toad attached behind our 36' motor home. They have a nice big pool on premise, too. We would come back. - dbcordello

Rating: 7 7 2 1 4 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stopped here for the night off of I-81. We had just come back into the US from Canada, so didn't have any fresh vegetables and purchased canned vegies from the camp store. The campground looks like it is more suited for the seasonal folks, than itinerants such as ourselves. Our campsite was a pull-through out in the open, the other campsites are sheltered under trees along curving lanes. The person in the office was brusque and almost rude. She made a point (and there are also lots of signs) about dogs not going into certain areas as they "urinate" on the plants and ruin them. All said, we were grateful to have a spot to stop for the night and get off the road. - ShoreXplorers
It was an easy on and off from I-81 North. Cost was $38 for cash and $40 for credit. Friendly staff and ok areas to walk dogs. - gmasharp
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Echo Valley Campground »The Echo Valley its self is a beautiful place, location, scenery, nature. But it all is deminished when you meet and deal with the "owners" of this campground. They are dishonest swindlers who will insult you, lie to you, and insisit on countless extra charges for guests and using the campground facilities, which are run down beyond belief. The old Echo Valley campground we all used to know and love to spend time at is gone. So sorry to see this happen. Warning to all..BEWARE! - PaGibby1

The staff was very helpful park was very clean, camp activities and entertainment, pool the playground sand volleyball hiking where also a plus at this campground. Definitely coming back next year, already booked our date with them. A must see campground to visit. We loved the Rocks. - Mike and Jen
The campground is farther off the main roads than you would expect after reading their brochure. No discounts for anything. Narrow entry and exit pasted the office. VERY hilly with huge drop off ditches on each side of the road. Steep road up the hill. Sites are no where near level. The bathhouse is old and outdated with no a/c or heat. The check-in clerk had no idea if the campground could fill propane in a motorhome. I did see the propane station but it was not reachable by a motorhome. I should have but did not read the reviews. Do not even think of going here in a motorhome. I will not return. - cmprcountry
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Blue Rocks Family Campground »We enjoyed our stay here. They have an on-staff security officer who drove around the campground. Although, there didn't seem to be a need for him to drive around, it was comforting to see him. The campground was well maintained and the owners take pride in it. We especially enjoyed the ice cream shop. The couple that worked there was very friendly. We took a hike to the top of the mountain. The view was amazing, but we were not prepared for how hard it was. I think that there should have been more information on how difficult the trails were. - Mike in NJ

Rating: 1 3 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Nice location, and other campers were great... however everything else was bad. The restroom nearest our site was filthy and smelled bad, it had no soap (it's wasn't out of soap... there is literally no soap in there) and No hot water??? Really? The sites are not managed, i.e. Ours flooded out with a quick rain. And worst of all, the camp owner is an absolute nightmare. I asked about soap and hot water for the facilities, and he said that men don't need soap... The sites can be stoned if the camper pays him $50 for a bobcat bucket. And Kids are allowed no fun. I saw him freak out and totally loose his cool to a bunch of young children for playing Marco pollo in the pool. - Watoblue
After driving narrow winding roads to get here, we're quite disappointed in what we found. This park has a lot of people living in it and there's so many seasonals park. Just by looking across the park we didn't see any other available spaces. There looks to be 75-100 spaces. So we ended up with one of three barely graveled spaces by the front entrance. The park just looks trashy, didn't use the showers or restrooms since we have our own. The "lake" is more of a pond. It is quiet if that's any resolution. The office person was nice enough. - sbelle55
