Our site was a little tricky to get into with trees on either side about 20 feet apart at the entrance of the site. But, we managed and loved it because it was a HUGE site – about 50 feet wide – and level. The campground was clean. Employees picked up your bagged trash at your site every AM. They had “nature walks” with the kids to pick up stray trash. The Wi-Fi only worked at or near the office/store. We did not use the showers or comfort stations so can’t comment on those. This is a very wooded campground except for the rally field which was open and had constant activity – dirt mounds for kids to ride/jump bikes over, piles of hay, large tractor tires, outdoor movies at night, volley ball, football, etc. The entire campground was very flat and sandy. Many activities for kids – trick or treating (free), costume contest (free), matchbox car races (free), night movies in the rally field (free), train ride (free), pumpkin painting ($), corn maze ($), haunted hayride ($), candy bar bingo (bring candy bar), craft (free), etc. Tons of things for kids to do. Playground is OK. Employees were all friendly. Seasonals were on the other side of the campground, so we didn’t see those sites. There is also a fishing pond & creek over by seasonals that we never got to. The 2 negatives: 1) arrived 9:30PM on Friday, & received nor were offered an escort to our site. Got lost (or so we thought), made K turn at a dead end. Back out and around; we were on the right street; back in again. The problem – no signs indicating it was Grasshopper Blvd. 2) They charged (overcharged) for many things. I know this is a pet peeve for many. I don’t mind charging for some things but, $5 pp for 10 minute small corn maze, $12 pp for haunted hayride (we didn’t do because of price), $3 for popcorn at outdoor movie (not fresh popped, so just bring your own!). We did like this campground a lot. We had a great time and will definitely be returning.

We stayed here over Labor Day Weekend in site 7 which used to be a seasonal. The site was slightly unlevel and a little tricky to get into since it was back in the corner. But, we managed and loved it because it was a large site. The campground was very clean. We saw employees picking up trash on the ground every morning. The Wi-Fi was free and worked well. My husband used the showers and said they were also very clean. They are individual showers with private little dressing area – with a door that locked. The pool was clean – but COLD!! The store was not huge but well stocked. And, they had a nice little snack stand. For $2 you could get a HUGE soft serve ice cream cone. The playground area is not extensive but adequate. There is also a large sand box, but no one in it – because there were bees in it. There are animal pens throughout the park. They sell good size bags of corn (feed for the animals) in the store for $1.50. My kids loved feeding the goats, donkey, cows, horses, mini ponies, sheep, ducks and pigs. We were across from the pony pen – yes, they are short and fat – they're miniature ponies and kids feed them all day long. Golf carts are virtually nonexistent. I think we saw two. The park does have a lot of seasonals. And, some are the large Breckenridge models that are like homes. But, they were all neat, clean and nicely landscaped (one of my pet peeves is seasonals that look like dumps!). Everyone was very friendly – seasonals, employees and weekenders like us. They have a gated entrance where you need a card or tokens to get in. We had a great time and only live an hour away, so we will definitely be returning. We camped here with 2 adults and 2 children (6&3).

We love this campground. We came here for the first time last year for a weekend. This year we came back for 4 nights. There is TONS to do for all ages. There is no way anyone could be bored here. There are constant activities, but no pressure to join if you don’t want to. Of course the spray pool was a HUGE hit as were the fire truck rides, large playground, campsite visits from Yogi/Cindy Bear/Boo Boo and the crafts and activities. The wifi worked up top but was very slow. Staff was all very helpful and friendly. All the seasonal sites are nicely landscaped and well maintained (one of my pet peeves is campgrounds that have seasonal sites that look like junkyards). Not the case here! The owner was very generous and helpful to another member in our party who reserved a site, partially paid for it and couldn’t get their RV running. The only drawback was the bugs/mosquitoes which were VERY BAD up top, in the back. We camped here with 2 adults and 2 children (3 and 6 YO).

We just returned from spending Memorial Day Weekend. We really enjoyed our weekend here. We love the social aspect of camping and everyone was VERY friendly - seasonals, regulars and first time weekenders like us. The seasonal sites were well maintained and clean. Many were very nicely landscaped. We camped near the Big Field at the far end. There was constantly something going on on the Big field (softball, wiffle ball, bocci, horseshoes, frisbee) not necessarily organized by the campground. There was a horseshoe tournament on Sunday morning which was well run by the campground and a great social event. The playground was new and nice. Our kids loved it. There were tons of kids - mostly 9-14 years old - all well behaved. There is no pool (which we knew) but the pond didn't look too appealing. But, it wasn't a hot weekend. The beach is only 3 miles away, too. The town of Clinton is quaint and has several antique shops. Some of the sites around the pond did look tight, but we didn't camp there. We would definitely consider going back - if I-95 wasn't so horrible to travel on - LOL! We camped here with 2 adults and 2 small children (6 & 3).

Tohickon was an average campground. They did have a craft activity and bingo for young children on Saturday AM. The game room was OK. Several games out of order, but not a big deal to us. The owners were very nice, helpful and friendly. We also met some very nice people. The store has minimal basic supplies and the restaurant, which wasn't open yet, looks like it would be a good alternative for breakfast. The wireless worked well at our site. We didn't need to use the showers so I don't know how they were. But, we did stop in to use the bathroom. They looked clean, but no soap or towels/blower to wash and dry your hands. Many of the seasonal sites looks very run down and need a good cleaning. The sites are relatively ungroomed - no concrete pad, lots of leaves from the fall. We did notice some garbage in the wooded areas/along the paths that could have been cleaned up in the fall/spring. The playground was fairly decent. But, next to it looked a little like a junk yard. We probably won't be back because there are just too many other nice campgrounds in the general area. But, it wasn't a disaster. I just think there are nicer campgrounds. We camped here with 2 adults and 2 small children (3 & 6).

While the campground wasn't officially open in March 2009, they keep several sites open year round. It’s only $20 during the pre-season and on the honor system. You just put $20 in an envelope in a box per night. Nothing was open in March, but we didn’t expect anything to be. We were also there in July 2008. The pool is great - especially the kiddie pool area for the small ones. There's a lake with a large slide, a fully and well stocked store, snack bar, game room and mini golf. The seasonals we met were very friendly and helpful. The only drawback is many of the seasonal sites look run down and need a good cleaning. That’s the only reason we didn’t give it a 10. We didn’t use the bathrooms other than the ones in the main building. But these were very clean. The staff is all helpful and friendly. It’s a family run campground. We camped here with 2 adults and 2 small children – 3 and 6.
