Really enjoyed staying here. The staff was super helpful and nice. I felt super safe because it also had security. Plenty of sites for tents and campers. The only problem I saw... 10/17/2021

We were part of a group of 8 families that camped the weekend before Halloween. The kids' playground and activity area were top notch. The bathrooms were clean (enough) and the campsites were more than adequate. The kids loved trick or treating! We will definitely be back. 10/25/2021

Place was clean, staff was friendly, patio site was great. 10/25/2021

Great campground. A little difficult to get to, but worth the trip. 10/25/2021

We had a great time. The campground is clean and well kept, sites are a little close to each other up top, but all in all a very nice stay. 10/25/2021

Very fun weekend 10/25/2021

We had an amazing time there. The only recommendation I would make is to add some more street lights down by the river. Trick or treating was super dark and it was hard for kids to see who was hanging out candy and who wasn’t. We even created a path to the candy bowl... 10/25/2021

My wife and I had a fabulous time! The facilities and weather was just what we needed! The staff were all so pleasant and helpful, too! Overall, we had a wonderful weekend! 10/25/2021

So great for families!! 10/25/2021

Excellent KOA 10/24/2021

Site was well kept, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. 10/23/2021

We enjoyed the campground. Not wild about our site. Kinda cramped. Will be back! 10/23/2021

Love the office staff ... so friendly. We were much happier on the hill over the last backin site we had (no 43?). Cable was less snowy. You really do need to fix that road at the bottom of the hill. It's painful to watch someone spinning on the gravel. 10/22/2021

we enjoyed our weekend, our spot was a little tighter than we liked but we checked out the rest of the campground and when we visit again we know what spots to look for. Campground was clean, staff pleasant, and there's a lot to do in the area. 10/19/2021

Fantastic!! 10/19/2021

I always have an amazing time at this KOA! 10/19/2021

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.
