Very Disappointing Campground Experience I would not…read morerecommend this campground, especially for families or anyone looking for a peaceful, safe place to camp. One of my biggest concerns was the lack of control over large dogs. Large dogs were allowed to run loose around the campground, including situations where they went after smaller dogs. That is unacceptable and creates a serious safety concern for both pets and their owners. The campground advertises 10:00 PM as quiet time, but that rule seems to be enforced selectively. Golf carts continue driving around late into the night, loud music can go on well past quiet hours, and children are allowed to run through other people's campsites. It makes it very difficult to relax or get a good night's sleep. The facilities are another issue. The washing machines have reportedly been broken for months without being properly repaired, which is especially frustrating for people staying for extended periods. There are also concerns about people drinking openly in public areas, with incidents involving intoxicated individuals getting into fights. That kind of behavior should not be tolerated at a family campground. Overall, the biggest problem is inconsistent enforcement of the campground's own rules. If there are rules about quiet hours, pets, public drinking, and respectful behavior, they should apply to everyone--not just certain campers. Hopefully management will take these concerns seriously and start enforcing the rules consistently so that everyone can enjoy a safe, clean, and peaceful campground.

We had a wonderful stay at this campground recently and it quickly became one of our favorites…read more It's off the beaten trail, with not alot to do nearby, but the campground provided enough activities and amenities to keep us entertained. They also do not have cable, which is usually a deal breaker for us, but we managed to keep busy. I do think we would have had a different experience had our campsite been in a different location. We travel with grand-kids so we like to be close to the pool, playgrounds, etc. Our location was not only right across from the pool, but easily walk-able to the playground, store, cafe, and pavilion where events are often held. Our spot had a strange layout, but did have ample parking for two vehicles, and our favorite feature was the charming stream that ran through our site. The girls liked to frolic in it and catch the "resident" frog. The one morning we were welcomed by a large crane bird mere feet away from our camper, what a sight! Our girls were in awe! However, we did find that people would come unto our site to visit the stream or short cut to the pool, which I felt was a little rude. One reason I say our experience would have been different had we been positioned elsewhere is because we don't care for rustic, wooded lots, or long steep walks to amenties. This campground has very few lots that aren't heavily wooded. The roads leading to the sites are often rough and narrow. They do rent golf carts, which is something to keep in mind. I'd suggest reserving one at the time of booking your stay. The office/store staff were nice, always busy, a tad slow, but totally understaffed. The store is open from 8 am to 11 pm and the hub of the campground as they preform a number of duties, in addition to opening/closing the gate (which I do wonder how that's handled when they're closed) and cashiering the store. The pools were clean and spacious. There was a bigger one going up to 5 feet deep, and a small circular one for very small kids. There's a covered pavilion with a piano to play, and some of the activities are held here. The playground is adjacent to the pools, and was nicely equipped, although some equipment was older, and featured a large sandy area (bring your own sand toys). The highlight, and what set this campground apart was the cafe, serving a variety (a large menu actually!) of food and hand dipped ice cream. It had a diner feel inside, but also covered picnic tables to eat outside while watching your kids play. The picnic tables were old and splintery so do bring a blanket if wearing shorts. The prices were very reasonable and I loved that they had long hours. The teenage staff were pleasant and efficient too. Some of the activities included cash bingo, kids bingo (free!), a fire truck ride, and a glow candy hunt. While they post a theme on their webpage, the actual activities aren't posted (on a wipe board outside the office) till that Friday. Do take a picture of it when you come in and refer to it as needed. The campground also had wifi - which they admitted was poor. We relied on our Tmobile service all weekend which was fine. A fishing pond (we checked out but didn't fish but there was a huge white carp literally 3 feet long in there!), as well as the famous blue rocks. While some people climbed the rocks we stayed on the perimeter as it went for as far as the eye can see and didn't look safe. Our site did not have sewer, but I opted for honey pot service ($10 cash paid directly to worker) that I asked for and prearranged. Other sites did have sewer. Overall a great experience and campground. Some things I think they could do better - more than one worker in the store, activities on a handout, better upkeep of the roads inside the campground, update some of the older equipment at the playground, and seal the picnic tables. The hits for me: the cafe is pretty awesome (and accepted plastic!), the activities were cool, the bathouse by the pool was modern and exceptionally clean, and they had recycle bins for various types of waste ( a campground first!) SIDENOTE: There's also a small fenced in playground for smaller kids, and a "hot rod" garage, which consisted of old cars - you can poke around if you want, but look and don't touch!

They took down our information and gave us a map of the hikes. We went on the blue hike and cut across onto the red path to go back down on the yellow path. The blue hike was very well marked with a few other parties on it. There were some narrow parts of the hike where we had to wait for others to pass. The terrain is very rocky with big rocks. There was mud and some creek water as well. It's best to wear hiking boots that protect the ankles. The red path was not well marked and we definitely went the wrong way. Luckily we still ended up at the campsite but it was a bit confusing. Overall still a very fun day! The hike was shaded so perfect for a summer outing.

This review is for the Fall Foliage round-trip tour taken 11/3/19 from the Greater Reading station,…read morestopping at Port Clinton, then arriving at Jim Thorpe. The trip is open seating (no assigned seats), and not knowing any different, we arrived at 7:15 for a 8am boarding and 9am departure, which was more than early enough, as people were boarding right up until the 9am departure and everyone got seats, with maybe a few to spare on each car. We had a group of 8 and had no issues sitting together. We sat in the middle of one of the middle passenger cars, but if we had to do it over again, we'd sit closer to one end or the other for quicker departure at Jim Thorpe and again once arriving back at Reading at the end of the trip. Seating is bench seats on the standard coach, and the seat backs can be moved so instead of seating with your back towards other members of your group, you can seat facing them. This feature is nice, but makes for tight legroom, especially when trying to seat 2 people on each bench, see pic. There is a bathroom on each coach, plus windows can be opened for fresh air, better pictures, or to let things cool off (the coach gets pretty toasty warm as you get going, so wear layers). The seating can be pretty cramped, especially on the trip home. It was tough to get comfortable, even the kids had to stretch out to find some additional legroom. No food/drink available on the train, but you can bring your own soft coolers for drinks and snacks. Everyone was pretty hungry for lunch by the time we arrived in Jim Thorpe around noon. You'll ride the same coach and have the same seats on the way back, so you can leave items (coolers, extra clothes, etc) on the train while you visit Jim Thorpe. Trip was very scenic, especially with the Fall leaves changing colors. The ~3hr trip to Jim Thorpe winds you through rivers, streams, farms, small communities, over bridges and through tunnels. Expect to see plenty of wildlife, including deer and turkey. we saw at least 12 deer on the way up and double that plus a heard of turkeys on the way back. Throughout the trip, the conductor and coach attendant told stories and pointed out anything interesting along the way. we were also showed some old pictures of how things looked in Jim Thorpe 100+ years ago. Upon arriving at JT, everyone had lunch on their minds and with several hundred people all going for lunch in a little town, eateries can get overwhelmed pretty quick. Molly MacGuires is right by the train station, so most people try to go there. Good luck if you're in the middle of the coach like we were and some of the last to board, the place was packed with a line by the time we got there. There are other places to eat within a short 5-10min walk, with just about something for everyone. Train departs at 3:30, so you dont have much time to do anything else after lunch but some quick window-shopping. If we were to do it again, we might pack lunches or get something quicker for lunch, like pizza or sandwiches. Aside from the restaurants, there are historic buildings, great view from on top of the town, and lots of small shops selling various items from oils, handmade goods, ice cream, witchcraft, leather goods, and antiques. Despite only having approx 1.5 hrs to look around after lunch, the only things we didnt get to do were the tours of the couple historical houses. After a quick stop at Wood Ice Cream right by the train station, we boarded and headed back. Everyone tried to take some naps on the way back, with some success, arriving back at Reading Station round 6pm. So plan for a long, full day. This would be a good trip to do once a year, or with people coming from out of town. Average age of passengers was around 60+, with a few families with younger kids. Parking at Great Reading Station is 100+ cars, so enough for all passengers plus a few extra.
