This parks lives up to the good reviews. Great owners, funny sarcastic check-in woman up front, and super nice, clean seasonal residences. Only thing wrong is they need a new pool guy; the water is clean but really murky and way over chlorinated. We didn't want to swim in it. Otherwise though, a fine place to stay!
This place is a fine home base if you need to get business done in Bangor, or use it to see Acadia when the park is booked. Other than weak water pressure, we saw no problem whatsoever with this park. Yes, the pull through sites are somewhat tight, but not as bad as some KOAs we've been to. Sites are wooded, but we were still able to get a satellite signal. Grounds are clean, laundry facilities work great, staff is super friendly, and the scenery is really pretty. Sure it's not the beach Maine scenery, but it's a lovely park-like setting. We liked it a lot.
Big beautiful park on lake champlain, close to town.
We just left the park, and I have to say it was one of the best ones on our cross country trip so far. Excellent views, lovely beach and bike path, and the office staff was excellent. Full hook up sites are fine but out in the open, while W&E sites are nicer and more wooded and rustic. Only downside was the CG doesn't have laundry facilities, but there's a new laundromat up the road. A great place to stay to see the heart of Burlington. We paid the off-season rate, a real deal!
Don't let the so-so website (or some of the campers) fool you, this park is a real gem. Located next to an Army Corps. river/dam recreation area, it used to be owned by the county, but a really nice family took it over two years ago, and they're doing a stellar job keeping it lovely, clean and green. Campsites are HUGE, and there's lots of room to roam. They offer lots of fun activities, and it's a good central point to explore Amish country PA. There are 12 seasonal campers but their sites are super clean and nice. This is the best place to stay in this part of PA. We were nicely surprised. Patronize it if you're in the area, you'll enjoy it.
This park was one of our favorites so far on our year long trip across the U.S. We're usually boondockers, but when we need to shower, do laundry, etc., we try to find places as posh as Lake Arrowhead. Not only was this resort clean and top-notch, but the facilities were some of the best we've seen (big professional washer & dryers). It was big and nice but it still felt like "real camping" because it's in the trees (but many spots still open enough to get satellite--we did). Plus, they have an ongoing FREE WEDNESDAYS program where if you stay there midweek for at least two days, you get Wednesday free! Many long-term people are there but they keep their trailers tidy and fun looking. It's a great place that we'd stop at again if we were in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Super clean, nice and grassy campground with large sites and lots of open space. Beautiful grounds. Very nice owner/management. Relaxing place. Great value.
Perhaps (hopefully) things have changed since we stayed here, but this is the worst KOA we've ever stayed at. The people who own the park are obviously not investing any more money in it. The park is run down, there is NO pool, the sites are crammed, the bathrooms are stinky and the owners are so cheap they won't even buy toilet seat covers, and worst of all, if you are in a 30 amp site, you are not allowed to run your AC on their electricity. It's 103 today, and we got a knock on our door telling us to shut the AC off. "The park is so old it can't handle it" the clerk told us. Then we were told to use our generator if we wanted AC. This park is the biggest rip off EVER, and if we weren't desperate for a place to stay in the area, we would move on immediately. Avoid this place at all costs.
This "city park" campground more than met our expectations. Yes, there is freeway noise, but if you ask for the LOWER campground along the river, it's not so bad. Sites down below are much longer than ones up top. Yes, it floods here in June, so don't come then. But we practically had the whole place to ourselves in July. The space between sites is wide and grassy, and there's lots of walking trails, and shopping all within 5 minutes. A great place to stay despite the fact that the river isn't swimable and it was really hot here!
This place is smack in the middle of town, but the highway noise isn't too bad if you get a spot toward the rear. Dust wasn't too bad because they had gravel down. Staff was cordial. We really liked how you could walk across the street to the brewery, one block from an RV wash location, and the grocery store was bikeable too. Super convenient location to stay overnight, get some business done, swim in their pool, and split. Nothing fancy but it's location can't be beat.
West Lake Campground is about 45 minutes west of Fort Collins. This little forest service campground has electrical hookups and water but it does NOT have a dump station. That's the only drawback; you'll need to go to the KOA in Fort Collins to dump and pay their crazy fee.
Otherwise, this place has it all. Lakeside camping, canoeing, hiking trails and a little village with supplies and a great restaurant.
Larger rigs may not fare as well here; there are a few pull throughs but most are back-in and only suitable for rigs less than 30'.
If you come in summer, get here midweek and you won't see anyone. By Thursday evening, the campground is full for the weekend.
