I was part of the board gaming group. Everything was great as times before. Even with the Covid restrictions everything was good. All the staff wore masks. Plenty of hand sanitizer around. 1/14/2021

We always have a great time while staying at Philadelphia/West Chester KOA. Great and friendly place to stay. Lots of trees and space to enjoy our time there. 12/3/2020

The lodging was excellent and clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back! 12/1/2020

We had a great time at Philadelphia/West Chester KOA! The property is beautiful and very well taken care of. The staff was super nice and very accommodating. It was a great way to spend Thanksgiving. We definitely plan on going back! 11/30/2020

The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. Campground and bathrooms were exceptionally clean and maintained. We look forward to visiting again in 2021! 11/30/2020

Staff were great. Place was very nice. Only area of improvement I suggest is road maintenance and site maintenance. Our site was not level only narrowly level. As we stepped out of door you almost fell down the hill. Invest in more gravel or asphalt. 11/30/2020

My family thanks you for the wonderful stay. Beautiful campgrounds, lots of activities, and a wonderful staff. 11/30/2020

Love it here! 11/29/2020

So glad to have found this place. So many things to do, and everything is beautifully maintained. We are so glad to have found such a phenomenal place to have fun safely. 11/29/2020

Beautiful grounds, wonderful staff. 11/29/2020

We had a lovely Thanksgiving day stay in a deluxe cabin. The accommodations were all we hoped for-our first time in a cabin vs. tent camping. The office staff was helpful and friendly. It's a lovely setting. 11/29/2020

A neighbor went to this KOA a few months ago, and showed us pictures. We made reservations immediately, and we have been there five times since. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that after being in our home for about eight months during the pandemic... 11/29/2020

Immaculate campground with very kind and helpful staff. Highly recommend! 11/28/2020

Wonderful and friendly staff!! 11/27/2020

We loved our site. The individuals in the office were fantastic. Wonderful stay. 11/27/2020

Referred to as the birthplace of our nation and home to the first national capitol, Philadelphia is abundant in history and culture. With so many attractions it's worth a few days of exploring. Spend your first day on our campground's Philadelphia & Valley Forge Tour to visit all the main historic attractions including Independence National Historic Park, Independence Hall, Liberty Bell & Pavilion, Carpenter's Hall, Franklin Court, Elfreth's Alley, Christ Church and the Betsy Ross House. Head back into the city on your following days to continue your venture through history at the National Constitution Center, U.S. Mint or Museum of the American Revolution. In addition to history, take in some art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, find something delicious to eat at Reading Terminal Market, see Al Capone's cell at the Eastern State Penitentiary, or head to the Franklin Institute or Please Touch Museum for some kid-friendly fun.
