Sussex KOA Journey Recreation
In addition to the fun and excitement to be had at any of our regularly available amenities, our Sussex campground is proud to host an enthusiastic Activities Committee. The Activity Committee is completely operated by a team of energetic, outgoing seasonal campers. Every weekend during the camping season, the Activity Committee coordinates activities suitable for the whole family and all ages, including crafts, Chocolate Bar Bingo, outdoor and water Games, tractor rides, dances and more! If you are looking to get involved, ask to speak with our Activity Committee Coordinator! Volunteers for events are also welcome.

Drive-In Movies

Drive-In Movies

The Sussex KOA has a sister site next door — the Sussex Drive-In. You can watch the latest movie blockbusters on a big screen, from the comfort of your car. The drive-in theatre is adjacent to the campground, so after a full day of playing and exploring, you can drive over to relax under the stars, while eating popcorn and enjoying a movie.

Multiple Pools

Multiple Pools

Stay cool during the summer by splashing in one of the pools on the campground. We have three different-sized pools, so campers have plenty of opportunities to swim and play. Our biggest pool is 60 x 40 feet, with a 3-foot shallow and 6-foot deep end. Our medium-sized pool is 40 x 16 feet and our smallest pool is 15 x 15 feet, making it a perfect wading pool for small children and babies.

We also have a splash pad that everyone will love to play at.
