Tent Reviews

Nov 03, 2024
I’ve stayed at KOAs before and have been underwhelmed by them, but the Philadelphia/West Chester KOA exceeded my expectations. The sites were clean and well spaced out. My site along the river had an incredible view. The facilities were also clean. The only improvement I would recommend is to plant more grass at site 112 as it was mostly dirt which got dust everywhere.

Very peaceful. Hope they can get the trees trimmed before next season. Would also love to see some new trees planted for the next generation of campers �

$55 for a primitive campsite is pretty absurd

It’s a great place and I would go again I just didn’t like how people could walk behind my camp site. Camp site 126

Enjoyed camp tenting on the river with family and friends. Staff was very friendly and escorted us to our campsite, delivered ice and firewood, and the ice cream was delicious! Older children enjoyed the volleyball court and paddle boarding/fishing on the river.

I was thankful but frustrated about not being able to get through by phone easily; esp. when my map was not there, I called 4 times and it said to text but no-one responded to the texts; finally, I realized there was an afterhours number. Maria helped me. On the hilly site I fell setting up and when breaking camp. The restroom corners had cobwebs and dead bugs, so I felt right at home. Thank you!

We had the best time! The campground was lovely and well-maintained, there were so many fun activities for my daughter to participate in, and the view from our creekside site was unbeatable. We will definitely be returning as soon as possible!

View is spectacular. Staff is so sweet & friendly. Bathrooms could use some maintenance. Only 1 working sink/sopa dispenser. Not a big deal when it's not crowded, but will b a prob when you're busy.

Les sites de camping sont grands et offrent un bon ombrage. Les installations sont propres. Il y a habituellement plus d'activités dans un Koa Holiday, c'était très tranquille une fois le samedi soir passé.

Great staff and lovely grounds

Good service and many activities, just the restroom to far from tent site, it's like you climbing mountain every time you go to restroom, but you got a nice view and nature

The staff was amazing. So friendly. Smile on everyone's faces. I even witnessed them helping out a neighbor to the campground in major need of help.

We would stay here ALL the time if there was another bathroom option down by the river.

Loved the place. Bathrooms need some updates. Our spot was on a hill so our stuff kept rolling down, I wish there was a platform or something. Otherwise very clean and everyone was very kind.

I greatly appreciated the last minute opportunity to stay here. Holiday weekend and all. However, I was really disappointed with the tent spaces. They were on the side of the hill right in the middle of all of the RVs. I didn't sleep well and, in fact, left the campground early, in part because of the accomodations, in part due to the impending bad weather.

The staff was awesome but unfortunately we had an extremely large group just across from us that was watching a movie/tv on a projector screen at full blast. This started around 8am and was going to 11pm. The quiet hours should start earlier because 11pm is way too late. On our second day we actually left because we couldn’t take the noise of them.

I stayed in one of the tent sites with water and electric service, both of which worked well. It was a pleasantly picturesque site, with a little creek separating the campground from a farm with horses and geese. Bathrooms, showers, and laundry facilities were well maintained and clean. And gold star for the staff here - every one I talked with was friendly and welcoming!

I was a tent camper. My site was not level and there wasn't close by water points. All the public facilities were very clean and well maintained. Staff was very friendly.

Great time, love being on the river, but I think the quiet time should start at 10:00 p.m., but I'm old.
May 13, 2024
Love it. The only thing I would say is to fix the broken faucet that made our site really muddy. Other than that, it was great!

Kids had a great time. Next time I'll bring more parents.

We have stayed at this campground several times now and we love it! The tent sites on the river are awesome!
Apr 22, 2024
Those geese! lol. Everyone there was so nice and helpful.

The tent sites right on the Brandywine Creek are amazing! All the staff were pleasant and welcoming.

We were i8n a bind and needed a campground quick - Amy was so pleasant on the phone, and once we arrived, the entire staff was wonderful. The sites are very well maintained and the hospitality was excellent.

Great campground, easy in and out, the park staff were all amazing, very friendly and helpful while we were there. Will be going back for a month and looking forward to it! Plenty of things to do for children, canoe rentals for paddling up the Brandywine River

The employees were friendly and knowledgeable.The camp store had everything you'll need. Bathrooms were very clean and working. We tented along the Brandywine River. What a nice, peaceful stay. The grounds were clean and everything had a place. One suggestion would be, is to put a potty on the spot down near the river.

2nd time here. Camp and facilities VERY clean and inviting. Arrived 15 mins after office closed - confusion as to site assigned via email vs what was listed in my registration packet. Quick call to the after-hours number sorted it out. Other suggestion is to create an option to order firewood bundles in advance or on a self serve basis.Overall - Nice stay along the Brandywine Creek!

Best place on earth!!!!

Our stay was pretty relaxing even though it rained.

The riverfront tent sites were beautiful. The only downfall were the huge falling walnuts that were attacking us from the tree above, lol.

Great place for families, beautiful river views.

We had a great weekend, the weather was exceptional and site 125 was everything I wanted although there was little grass on the grass pad The only blemish was the men’s doom being closed all weekend.

Great tent site by the river . It was fun to just chill. Stayed just a night but would definitely want to come back.

Facilities were nicely maintained, but people were a problem. Two owners with off-leash dogs, roaming other campsites. One campsite played techno constantly outside of quiet hours, sharing bass across the campground. An employee entered our campsite without alerting us, never explained why, and complained that our tethered dog ran barking at him, when he was walking up behind me with no warning.

The kids had a blast! We loved our river tent site ! So much wildlife! We saw turtles, frogs, fish, geese, and other birds. The kids loved gem mining and the playground! Can’t wait to come back !

Tent camping on site 117 along the brandywine creek. Fished all day place was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. Thanks for a great stay at Kia.

As a whole, we really liked this KOA. The staff was friendly and helpful and all the amenities were well taking care of. What was immensely disappointment was the nearby group of 20+ campers that played loud rave music throughout the day and night. They literally had a large speaker set-up and the base emanated throughout the campground. It was excessively loud and nothing was done about it.

Wow do I love this place!!! This is my second time here and I have had nothing but awesome experiences both times. First time we camped down by the river in a tent, which was gorgeous to wake up next to every morning. You can see horses roaming the field just across the way, and it's a great place to launch a kayak from as well. The second time we stayed in a 2bd cabin with private deck and it was fantastic! The private deck was soooo nice to have (minus a few bees during the hotter parts of the day). The cabin had the perfect amount of space and wasn't located too far from the restrooms. The staff here are lovely, the amenities are everything you could need and more, and the overall vibe here is very peaceful and chill. Highly recommend!!! We will be back.

Going in the off season, we had the site and creek to ourselves. Amy was amazing with me and my grandkids, and I can't wait to bring my husband and dog next time. Thanks so much!

We had a nice time, it was cold, and experiencing in a 3 season tent was interesting. My opinion on the KOA : The front desk ladies were nice, all the Staff is friendly and checks up daily. The location is clean, and very quiet, on the off seasons. My concerns they want to check into: Please have a separate washing machine for people pets products.(-all the washing machine had pet hair and other pet stuff in all the washers. It was gross. I washed my clothes at a family washing machine down the road. Second: the tent sites are on uneven footing on top of the hill, not recommended for large tents. Perfect for small Rvs, and small 2 people tents. It's rock ground(gravel) mixed with grass. And watch your footing you will hit rocks. I tripped at least 2 times. And it's a walk to the bathrooms. Nice view of the stars and you have to be careful because a little walk behind the campsite it drops into a gorge (train tracks) deep fall. You have visited from deer and squirrels and rabbits. Hope you like roosters they will wake you up early morning. But on the lower levels, by the water it was peaceful. Very much dirt barely grass. But flat nice for large tents and families. Only down fall. I would put a bathroom down on the lower levels near the water. It will bring more visitors and you have room to put one there, because it is a long drive to the one bathroom . The end of the driveway down the hill needs to be fixed it has a sharp edge on the bottom right side near the forest edge, you do have river otters and beavers, lot of carp, but small amounts of small fish. Very shallow in some areas and you do have to have a Pa fishing licenses. Farm across the river. Very nice and pleasant. I would stay here again but on warmer days.
