A group of us got two sites side-by-side for a 4-day stay - two campers and three tents. The folks in the office were very accommodating about the extra people that came to stay on our sites - overall, very nice people to deal with. The proximity of sites to the river is good (but keep in mind as others have noted - only seasonals get 'waterfront' camping). River access is excellent, from three points in the campground. The bathrooms were clean but antiquated. The kids with us had a blast despite the lack of a pool. Overall, I agree with others here that it's an average campground in an above-average location. The views of the river and surrounding terrain are excellent. We would consider returning, all agreed.

Overall, this place is very nice, as stated in previous entries. Wildlife is abundant, the park and campground are well maintained and clean, the staff are helpful and friendly, and proximity to downtown Charleston is about 7 miles (20 minutes) away. A couple of things I was not too crazy about: this place is very QUIET. Church quiet. Like, almost too quiet. At night, hardly anyone was sitting outside of their camper, few fires going, little laughter, little conversation. So we felt a bit isolated and awkward about making any outside camping noise of our own, which wouldn't have been much fun anyway, because we were so cramped. Do not agree to take Spot #118. It and #119 basically split one proper sized site, in my opinion. Our patio area was so close to the side of our neighbor's motorhome, we felt like we were invading their privacy by even sitting at our own picnic table. Also, their dump pipe was situated very close to us due to the small size of the sites, so every time we walked out the door - Hello, Orange Hose! So, while located in a lovely location, the campsite itself left quite a bit to be desired. I tried to relocate, but there were no openings. To re-cap - 1) make sure you reserve early, and select a large-enough site, and 2) don't bring a loud group with you, because you'll have problems. Beautiful location, but I don't think we'd stay there again.

Very well-run, gated campground. The golf-cart escort to your site is a very nice touch. We were in pull-thru spot #158, which is pretty close to its neighbors. Having walked around the entire place, I think we'll go for a more secluded spot next time. Office and rest rooms are new, and very clean. Had a buddy come with a tent and he was charged $33/night to stay on my site - I thought this was pretty steep. Quite a few permanent rental sites with older trailers, but it didn't seem run-down at all. Proximity to local attractions and the PA Tpke is excellent. We went to the PA Renaissance Fair, which was right down the street; very convenient. Some folks seem to have a problem with the nearby highway noise and gunshots from a shooting range a few miles away - neither of these bothered me at all. We definitely plan on staying there again in the future.

We found this campground to be in very good shape, with huge, shady sites. It's gated late at night for security. We had two sites "on the water," but what that really means is you have to descend a really steep slope to get to the riverbank - it was fine, though, a serene, shady lovely spot. From the nearby boat ramp, we waded out into the river and fished, which was great. Tubes, rafts, kayaks and canoes are among the water vehicles available. We arranged a kayak trip with the front office, were dropped off 14 miles upriver, and kayaked back to the campground on the Delaware. Excellent day. I'm going to have to agree with the writer who complained about nickel-and-diming; it certainly did seem like there was a fee for Every Single Thing. But the place was nice, so we just kind of went along with it. We didn't have the kids with us this time, so I can't speak to their children's activities. Big pool, however. They close the bathrooms every morning at very inconvenient hours for cleaning....pretty much when everyone's coffee is kicking in, if you get my meaning. We were awakened by loud lawn mowers early one morning. A septic truck parked nearby one afternoon and gave off a rank odor for nearly an hour, causing us to leave our site for "cleaner air." There is a pretty strict 11:00 p.m. quiet hour enforcement, which may or may not be to your liking. The fire pits are immovable to the rear of each site, so you kind of have to bring your party to them if you want to sit around a fire. I found the store to be well-stocked with supplies as well as interesting gift items. There is a very neat Revolutionary War-era cemetery on-site, which was fun to walk around - very small, but compelling. When walking around the campground, we did notice an abundance of "permanent" sites, but we didn't find them to be an eyesore. The staff was generally nice and friendly. Overall, I'd recommend Driftstone. Like anyplace, it has its downsides, but overall, it's clean and in a beautiful area, with good access to the water. Oh, and one more thing...the directions on their flyer are Awful. Google map it, or use some other method to find the campground. If my buddy hadn't already been there to direct me in by phone, I'd still be out there looking for it. Bottom line - It was a very enjoyable week.

This campground was in excellent shape, and in a great location nearby all major Williamsburg attractions, including Busch Gardens and Water Country. The kids had a blast, with a number of on-site supervised activities to keep them busy. The pool was large and clean. The sites were on the smaller side, but manageable. There were no extravagant additional fees. A super Wal-Mart is a mere ten minutes away, but you would never know it. The campground store was nice and well-stocked, and the staff was friendly and helpful. This was one of two KOAs right next to each other; Colonial, I believe. We would definitely stay here again - my daughter keeps raving about it.

Since it's situated pretty close to where we live, I love this campground for its accessibility and the fact it's open year-round. It's great for a one or two day getaway, and just enough off the beaten track to make you feel secluded. Pretty close to Six Flags Great Adventure and the central Jersey shore, however. We've stayed there three or four times, both in summer and winter, and have enjoyed it. Nothing terribly fancy, but well-kept and well-managed.
