Meet Your Hosts

The Jordan Family

See you by the lake!

Hello! We are the Jordan Family: Chris and Elizabeth, and our boys- Nathan and Noah. This will be our second season at the Bradford Lake KOA, Formerly Headwaters Camping and Cabins. We are so excited to be sharing another camping season with you, our guests, on beautiful Big Bradford Lake! Offering the perfect lakeside retreat, this little campground has quickly become near and dear to our hearts since we made it home back in 2022. Since then, we have been hard at work to provide you with a wonderful camping experience. Renovations are actively underway, bringing with them all of the modern amenities expected at a KOA, while maintaining the same lakeside charm that made Headwaters so loved. It is our hope that we can make your stay a memorable one, forming camping memories for you and your loved ones to last a lifetime!
