Nice people, quiet surroundings. It had rained and the area around our site was muddy and tracked into Motor Home. Had to watch where you walked. Would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Sites were adequate but a little cramped. The traffic noise from I-80 was distracting in the evening. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Sites way too small and crammed together. About 2 feet between our canopy and next-door's slideout. Utilities poorly placed. Next door's septic outlet was next to our picnic table. Majority of big rigs pulling into pullthroughs would ground out as the hill was too steep. Beware! There was a nice walking area and the facilities/activities were good. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Beautiful entrance which belies the condition of the park. The sites are tight, not well maintained and very peculiar in their set up. You share water posts and cable with neighbors and they are not in the center between the sites which means you had better have a long hose and an even longer cable connection. It is a nice setting but there is much room for improvement. It is the KOA President's Award for 2008, but obviously they did it over the phone. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The staff was nice and they had great activities for the kids, for all ages which was nice. The recreation area was great with the horseshoe pits, volleyball, and basketball court. We did not use the pool, but it looked clean. The sites are extremely small and tight. There is not enough room to fit into the sites for those who had a tow vehicle. Many of those vehicles blocked the very narrow roads to get into the sites and trying to get by on the one way streets. It was extremely packed and noisy with dogs and screaming kids. We stayed here in a 34 motorhome and would probably not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an OK park located on the side of a hill. Sites are located on rows of terraces. Gravel roads and site pads. I had a pull-through site but it was so uneven that I couldn't leave my toad attached to the motorhome. Gravel bed was so narrow that I had to dig out a cavity in the dirt to allow my steps to extend completely. I had a full hook-up site. The water and cable were on a shared post with the right-hand neighbor while the sewer and power were on the left side of the rig. I had to run water and cable under the motorhome to make attachments. Power was OK but sewer connection required 25 feet of hose. Looked like the rig was on life-support! Neighbors fire ring was 5 feet from my RV. Plenty of noise from near-by I-80. Mostly smaller campers and pop-ups here and campground was at near capacity. As I was leaving, one fifth-wheel owner had left his truck attached to his rig and the truck was sticking out in the street. This forced me to squeeze between his bumper and the next terrace. Inches to spare. I would have thought the management would ask him to disconnect but it did not. Close to State College, I will probably go back unless I find something better. We camped here in a Motorhome.

First time at this CG. We were pleased with all of the activities for kids. The staff were great at accommodating us, and getting us a full hookup after a cancellation. The sites are kinda small and close, but they are shaded and were easy to get into. We had full hookup with a concrete patio pad. The pool was nice, although when they say heated it means barely heated. The price was a little high, and I don't like when CG's charge you for every person. This is a family experience yet they charged me a surcharge per adult and child. The staff was very nice. One night we ordered pizza and they delivered it to our site. They have a nice little restaurant with decent prices. The one negative was that you share water and cable with the site next to you. Basically there is 1 water water connection per every two sites. This was a pain because the water connection was on our entrance side and everytime we went to walk through the woods behind us someone tripped on cable or water lines. This was a pain because we were along a tree line that had a path to the activities behind us. We watch several other people trip and fall down on our cable line. There is a a lot of cool things to do outside of the CG. Penn State is very close, Bellefonte is a neat little town and Penn's Cave was awesome. We definitely enjoyed ourselves here. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice campground tucked in on the side of a hill. Our site was spacious, level and near a bathhouse. The bathhouse was always clean. The restaurant was really nice. We had breakfast and dinner there. Great food and very reasonable prices. The store is well stocked with lots of knick knacks and souvenirs. Everyone was friendly and helpful with directions to get around. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We did not like this campground. There weren't many activities for the kids. The sites were very small and VERY unlevel. We had an awful time getting our camper level. They DO NOT enforce QUIET TIME. There were people behind us up partying until after midnight. The laundry facilities were old and smelled like sour laundry. I will say the restrooms were clean and the pool was nice. We will NOT be going back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We like this park for its convenience to State College and the area trout fishing. We have stayed when it was over run with kids and when it is empty. The staff seem courteous. I do not care for their waterless urinals as they cause the bathrooms to stink. I noticed this both times we stayed there. The wifi is adequate when the park is not busy, but it seems really slow when the park is crowded. It is a tad expensive and there is a fair amount of distant road noise as Rte 80 is across the valley. I am sure it is a mad house on football weekends and at the Arts Fest. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice C.G. with good access to State College. Everything was clean and well maintained except for the sites themselves. Our site (#12) was a muddy mess and needs stone added. Others nearby seemed similar. The staff was great. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park overrated as a 5. Many sites are really unlevel and not very long. Manager tried to charge me more than what my reservation had confirmed. Also, while they advertise free wifi, I was only 3 rows from the office and couldn't get a strong enough signal. This was disappointing becuse free wifi was the reason I picked this park. $34 was too much for off season rates. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed overnight. It was ok for overnight, but it took more than the leveling jacks to get us level. We were in a pull-through site and it appeared the back- in sites were pretty level. The staff was friendly and the pool was clean. It was an easy trip off Route 80 and it is in a very nice area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Lots of very unlevel sites. Some of the contraptions I saw other campers had to level their trailers would have made Rube Goldberg proud! Staff was very friendly. Lots of rain made lots of mud. Only some sites had a cement pad: Ours didn't. The place is only a few minutes off of I-80 and good for a quick overnight. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I had a "pull through" site that had a steep grade at the entrance of the site which caused the back end of the trailer to drag. I would have been better off backing into the site. Once I got into the site it was fairly level. Sites are close together with fire rings close to the rigs. Staff was very friendly. Campground was very clean and well maintained. I-80 is close by but I didn't think the traffic noise was bothersome. I would stay again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Park consists of generally level sites built upon a terraced, wooded hillside. Gravel interior roads and sites. Adequate clearances for maneuvering in most areas. Some noise from nearby I-80, but not too bad. Few amenities beyond basic hook ups, fire rings, a volleyball court and some horse shoe pits. We did not use the rest rooms or showers, but while they could use some remodeling, they appeared clean enough. A sign said that they would be closed for cleaning on Thursday and that appeared to be the only time they were cleaned. A new and relatively elaborate mini golf course on the property seems aimed more at the local market rather than the camp ground. Fee charged, but one game free with camp stay. Small flock of goats provide some interest. Amish folks come to the camp sometimes with fresh baked goods for sale. We had a funny experience here. As we were preparing for departure, a herd of about 10 cows came running (yes, really running) through the campground. Apparently they escaped from a nearby field and were running for their freedom. No one was injured and eventually the cows found some new pasture and settled down. The primary reasons to stay here seem to be either an overnight stop while travelling I-80 in PA or to work or play near State College or Penn State U. If you go to the PSU campus, be sure to try the wonderful ice cream at the Creamery, located near the Food Science building. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Visited campground in May 2008-Crowded-90% of sites occupied by pipe line construction people. As many as 3 pickup/work trucks at each site. The roar of diesel trucks leaving at 6AM was not pleasant. Understand(from the pipe line people)that they may be there until September. We had camped at this campground for 14 years-this was the worst!! New owner-absentee-putting in chickens, petting zoo? Dogs running loose. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is under new ownership. It looks like some work is being done to it. The pull-through site we had was long enough though not very wide. We needed our extra long sewer hose due to the location of the sewage on our site. Our neighbor needed an extra long tv cable to reach his hookup that was on another site. The wifi worked some of the time. Used the restrooms once, and while they are in need of a remodel, they were clean. There is a miniature golf course and the office has a store with some basic stuff. Not many kids here as there wasn't much for them to do. Our nightly rate was with our Good Sam discount. Would probably stay at the KOA a mile down the road next time. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Whenever we are not Boondocking or Tailgating at a Penn State game, we find this to be the most desirable of the "two" Campgrounds in the area. We find it to be quite scenic, well maintained, and with very helpful staff. It is also very dog friendly with large amount of open space. We have never used the bathroom facilities nor are we interested in a pool. It is also 15 minutes from Downtown State College. We camped here in a Motorhome.
