    Peaceful, clean family-friendly and dog-friendly campground; owners hard-working and friendly. We…read morehad a gem of a campsite with table, chairs grill, fire pit and privacy. When we arrived, the owner explained about not transporting firewood., and buying it from this place. All campers most likely know this already. Understandable, since live trees are a valuable asset to the campground and surrounding area. Disease and bugs that kill trees are a problem to be avoided. Store is well stocked, adequate laundry facilities. Nice amenities for families. We are birders, so found this campground convenient to Presque Isle SP and Erie NWR. Also saw birds and bunnies around the campground, fish and a snapping turtle in beautiful pond. We stayed 5 nights, got to chat with the owners numerous times, no complaints. Rules are reasonable and necessary to keep the place enjoyable. We were refunded money before our stay for an extra person we thought might be coming, but didn't. We saw parents and children enjoying themselves fishing and riding rented pedal cars. The only person I saw getting " yelled at" by owner was a lady who took her dog into the restroom. ( the one that had the dog park beside it) So I personally can't agree with the one-star reviews. Read them for entertainment, if you have time to waste. . Met a couple who come every year, and we would be happy to return also. This is our first time in this part of PA. Staying at this KOA was a great part of our trip,

    Our stay at Mckean KOA was extremely disappointing and left us feeling unwelcome throughout our…read morevisit. From the moment we arrived, we felt that the campground was heavily monitored and controlled. We were told that an extra vehicle could not be parked on our campsite, despite it fitting entirely on our gravel pad without extending into the roadway or affecting neighboring sites. Shortly afterward, the owner approached us regarding another camper's difficulty accessing their site. We were parked completely within the boundaries of our own campsite, yet we were reprimanded and spoken to in a manner that we found unnecessary and unprofessional. One of the most frustrating experiences occurred during quiet hours. Our family was sitting around the campfire having a quiet conversation. There was no music, shouting, or disruptive behavior. In fact, we were speaking so softly that we could barely hear one another. Despite our efforts to be respectful of other campers, we were told to end our conversation and go to bed because it was quiet hours. In our view, quiet hours should mean keeping noise at a reasonable level out of consideration for others, not complete silence. After initially posting a review of our experience on the first night, we chose to continue our stay, comply with the campground's rules, and make the best of the situation. While we disagreed with many of the policies and the level of oversight, we accepted them and moved forward. However, after the owners read my review, I was confronted again around 9:00 p.m. and ultimately asked to leave because I had shared my honest experience online. This only reinforced my concerns about how guest feedback is handled. The final confrontation was particularly uncomfortable. The owner brought up an issue involving hair left on a bathroom sink by my daughter's friend and stated that she had cleaned up after the girls on multiple occasions. What troubled me was how specifically she seemed to know when the girls had used the bathhouse. These were underage girls, and the level of attention being paid to their bathroom and shower usage made our family uncomfortable. While staff certainly have responsibilities for maintaining facilities, the conversation left me questioning how closely guests were being monitored and raised concerns about privacy. When I asked whether the bathhouse was inspected after every guest used it, I was told it was not. That response only added to my discomfort because it suggested particular attention was being paid to my daughter and her friend. As a parent, I found that unsettling. By the end of our stay, the atmosphere had become so uncomfortable that we no longer felt relaxed or welcome. We were genuinely uneasy and did not feel that we could enjoy the remainder of our camping trip. It is especially disappointing because we had positive experiences under the previous ownership and had enjoyed visiting this campground in the past. Based on our experience, we will not be returning and cannot recommend this campground. Families looking for a relaxed, welcoming, and peaceful camping experience may wish to consider other campground options in the Erie area.
