Very average campsite. Needs work on infrastructure. Staff was pleasant and helpful. 6/22/2019

Gary and staff are great! We stayed for two weeks and enjoyed every day. A special thanks to John for his help setting up and helping to make things great. 6/20/2019

Carole from admin was extremely helpful in getting us set up and backed in our spot. You have a gem there! 6/20/2019

Great stay, third time there.staff is great easy in and out. 6/18/2019

Thank you for wonderful memories. 6/18/2019

very clean and organized. the site we stayed on was very spacious. 6/17/2019

The staff was very helpful. We were going to a graduation at Drexel and they were very helpful with directions and time lines. The restrooms and showers were very clean. We appreciated that. They were also very helpful with a change due to a family emergency. 6/17/2019

The only disappointing thing about my stay this weekend was that I couldn't get closer to the Woodytent. I don't walk well and it was very hard getting up and down the hill. Other than that it was great! The site was clean and the Woodytent was very clean... 6/17/2019

El personal que trabaja la recepción nada de profesionales Luego de una fuerte tormenta de lluvia les solicite una cabaña para mi segundo día Me respondieron que tenía que recoger todo aún cuando seguía lloviendo fuertemente Luego de haber recogido todo a las 7pm ya... 6/14/2019

We had a fun and relaxing stay. We had great fun interacting we the maintenance man John. We will be back when in the area. 6/13/2019

The park is GREAT, the access to it is NOT. Low hanging tree branches and winding curvy roads with tight turns. Lost one antenna (probably CB) and dented my satellite dome (fortunately, it is plastic so will straighten out) on those branches. If you are a "big rig"... 6/13/2019

The site clean and well maintained. Great staff. 6/12/2019

Very very hard to get to. If you have a big RV I would not recommend you stay here 6/11/2019

Very close to Longwood Gardens and the other various mansions and gardens. Campground was very quiet when we were there. 6/10/2019

We stayed in a deluxe cabin (sleeps 6). We got to enjoy the pool, playground, mini golf this trip. We had things to do in the area, but hope to be back to enjoy the other activities as well as maybe venture into Philadelphia. Thanks! 6/10/2019

Local Area

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.
