The camp host was very active throughout the day and gave great local recommendations. Negatives - you can't really see the river due to the grass and trees. It also says you can fish, which you can as long as you can make it down an incredibly steep embankment but there was not really a place to stand comfortably to fish and at least at site 5 there are quite a bit of rocks in the way. There was also a ton of little moths and gnats. Even with a fire the bugs made it unbearable to enjoy our time. Setting up and packing up was horrible. We understand bugs exist in nature but they were flying in our hair, mouth, nose, nothing worked to get rid of them. Also, the camp sites are just yards from a somewhat busy road. A few times people drove by and purposefully rev'd their engines. We could also hear a train in the distance going in the middle of the night. Maybe a different time of year would make all the difference regarding the annoying bugs but may is not it.

It's a perfect spot for a quick getaway from the city, whether you're going for sunrise, sunset, or just a relaxing day outdoors. After can hit up Bear Chase Brewery close by.

I had a lot of questions when I made the reservation for Stoney Brook Cabin (the wheel chair…read moreaccessible one) but I pulled the trigger and I'm so glad we did. First I'll talk about the park itself then I'll talk about the cabin, because I figure some people probably have the same questions we did. This seems like an ideal place for spring or fall camping. Probably summer too but it didn't seem like there were any swimming options at the park. They had a ton of activity options for kids but we couldn't try any because it was thanksgiving and the staff was off. Still, it looks like a super fun place for kids. Like I said before, I had a lot of questions about the cabin. It mentions that it had a grill but said nothing about a fire circle. It does, indeed have a fire circle but this cabin (I suspect due to its ADA status) was EXTRA TALL. You really couldn't cook on it or even roast marshmallows easily. On the other hand it would be pretty great for families with small kids. While the ring still got hot your kid absolutely CANNOT fall into the fire. We were there when it was cold and the heaters worked a little TOO well. It didn't seem like there was a comfy medium. They were either on and you were roasting or off and you were freezing. Still, for a winter camp it was nice to have the option. The bathroom was extra big which was also quite nice. Remember to bring EVERYTHING, including hand soap and hand towels for the bathroom. Though it kind of feels like a hotel or Airbnb you will need all the essentials. While the website states that there is Wi-Fi and a tv for watching stuff, the Wi-Fi was not available while we were there. Also, the fold out couch was kind of falling apart. If you're going with kids they probably won't mind but if it's an all adult camp group the folks stuck on the fold out will likely not be thrilled.

Make sure when visiting the campgrounds that you have a lantern available as the units are significantly darker than you might expect. Magnolia was very clean on the interior. At the exterior, the landscape slopes toward the cottage more than we thought was comfortable. The showers and dishwashing facilities were in good condition. This region generally has quite a few different attractions for nature lovers including a long hike along the Appalachian trail nearby and proximity to quaint small towns. Last, but definitely not least, Nick and his partner were among the most accommodating and friendly hosts one could ask for. When we had difficulty setting a campfire they generously gifted us some leftover materials to start our fire and advised us on best practices! We recommend that anyone interested in having a weekend away in nature investigate the Treehouse camp!

We stayed at the firefly for 1 night for a quick girls trip. It was $124 a night, now it has…read moreincreased to $134. I feel the price is a bit high as the amenities offered are the same as the regular cabins ($80-$85 per night). The firefly did just recently add a window AC unit and one electric plug prior to our stay. There are no lights so a lantern is still needed. We didn't use the charcoal grill as it was rusted, we opted for cooking on the fire instead. They do not allow outside firewood and they charge $7 a bag for wood and $5 for kindling. Unfortunately their firewood was very thinly chopped, maybe 1-2 inch slivers so the firewood didn't last long. The shower and bathrooms were clean and close to the campsite which we enjoyed. The area felt very safe. Though there appeared to be a ring camera with lights just above the open showers which I found a bit odd, I assume it was pointing to the other side of the building. Easily accessible dumpster and water for cooking/washing dishes. Parking is very hard to come by so if you bring more than one vehicle this may be a problem. The cabin was well kept, clean and comfy mattresses. Lights didn't work on the upper balcony but we enjoyed the lower deck. The only thing I found off putting were over kill on signage around the campsite. Quiet hours with a $250 fine for noises past 11pm or before 7am, signs regarding usage of amenities .... It appeared they didn't really want you using too many resources. Overall, we really enjoyed the cabin, the addition of the AC was great, facility was well kept, but I felt it was over priced.

My hubby and I wanted to do a shakedown with our camper as we have many trips on the calendar…read morescheduled for this season not to mention just get away for a few days. We've been to a number of KOA's and Yogi's over the years, so in 2020, I joined the KOA rewards as we will be hitting the road here in the next few years to enjoy our retirement. At the moment, we mostly camp in state parks, so we really don't need a whole lot. I took a chance and booked a premium patio site because the forecast was calling for rain and I didn't want to have to dry my stuff out as we live in a condo and keep our camper at an indoor storage facility. We were really excited to try this concept out since we were thinking if we met up with friends it would be neat to have seating and so forth. We were showed to our site by an employee as we couldn't park our camper at the entrance as there was a camper already checking in. We were told to park our camper and then when we were done, to check in at the store. So this patio site we are shown to which has been described as a table, chairs and a glider had three chairs on it only. No glider, no table. These sites come with a premium price which is a bit more than just a normal site. We definitely expected a table, which I was told would be provided on Saturday. The site next to us was never occupied and had a table and glider....we would have been so happy for the table at our site, but we didn't want to move furniture. So the night was fairly nice on Friday even though overcast....we ate in our trailer which was not the plan at all and not we signed up for. Even if this is a shakedown camp, we haven't really been able to enjoy the outdoors the whole winter! We did take our Solo Stove out and burn some wood after dinner along with make some S'mores. At least we had the chairs to sit in. I used the restroom twice there as we do have a camper with a bathroom. It was clean, however there was no soap in the compartment I was in. When I walked up there before leaving the campground, the compartment I went in that time had soap, but nothing to dry your hands. The staff was nice, but I didn't get the feeling that they thought that when you pay for the extras that there should be an expectation of it, especially when I brought up no table at check in, because I definitely mentioned that I had paid for the more expensive site. What I was told is they were extremely busy and while I do I understand busy because I work too, I have everything ready to go when it needs to be, especially if there are some elements that should be taken care of. I think there really should have been a priority on sites that were going to be used that weekend, especially when the one next to us was empty the whole time we were there and had a table which is really what we wanted.....we didn't care what kind, we just wanted to dine outside. Sites I feel are a bit tight, but I can't lie, I'm spoiled by the state parks. Lot of bang for your buck and the PA ones have amenities more so than where we come from in Maryland, to include ones with full hookups. There are a few farms close by which was nice and allowed us to get some fresh eggs to take home with us....very happy about that! There is also a winery that we have been to and that would be a nice outing if you are nearby. WiFi was amazing! We were able to stream a movie during a rainstorm Saturday evening. This was a plus. Our T-Mobile was not as strong to use our phone data. I really DO like supporting small family business and while this KOA is a franchise, they are also a family working a business. With that said though, when we pay for something, there is an expectation of getting it, especially when there is an additional cost. These are being billed on KOA's site as premium (and they are!), so for the money both of us felt rather slighted. A table at a commercial or state park site is a no brainer....we've had one at every park we have been to. I could have just booked a regular site and saved a bit of cash. We won't rule this one out again in the future, but for now the rest of our trips are mapped out. Maybe we will try again.
