The North Campground was closed this is a review for the South.
This is one of the campgrounds in our Thousand Trails Zone Pass. It is an average Thousand Trails campground. We stayed 3 nights. Quiet campground in the off season. This is one of the few campgrounds in the area that stay opened all year long. We are here in the late fall and everything is covered with leaves so it is hard to tell if the grounds are well maintained. It looked clean. Hook ups were easy to find and located in one spot. Sewer was level with the ground which is good for us, some of the pipes can be a little high. Water seemed good. We cooked with it and brushed our teeth. I showered once in the comfort station. It was ok. The place could have used a cleaning but it was passable. The building was heated which was nice and the water was hot with good pressure.Many places don't do that.

When checking in we were able to go through the campsite and pick our spot, first time for that process. Many of the spots looked level. We had to use three of the 1" leveling blocks to be level. It was fine.

Verizon is two bars on cell phone and 2mg download speeds for lte. When making calls I was dropped multiple times.

They charge for Internet, $4 per day (FastWave) and for cable $3 per day. Didn't use either service.

The campground is about an hour off the highway and the roads into the campground are a little wavy and small. Could be an issue for larger 5th wheels and Class A, but people were there with the larger rigs so it is doable.

There are no large box stores near by IE Walmart, Target. So you might want to prepare before you head in. There are smaller local grocery stories which we found just fine. They are 20 - 30 mins away.

Pub570 is about 15 mins away if you want a good beer selection and a place to watch a game. People were friendly. Looked frequented by locals. We stopped twice and enjoyed both meals

Area is surrounded by hiking, biking, hunting, fishing. The Delaware Gap Water Recreation Area. I recommend Dingman Falls hike, two good waterfalls. Bushkill Falls is a paid entry to hike and see the waterfall so we passed.

We would stay again.

We stayed here off season in September. We wanted to stop by the National Museum of the US Air Force, which was amazing and highly recommend.
This is a good campground. It has a lot of sites that are broken out into three sections. Spaces are wide enough to not feel cramped. We played in the pool thanks to some late summer weather and had the place to ourselves. There is a lot of open spaces on the grounds and provided a good a good space to bike around. Staff was nice. Place was clean. Laundry was good.

Unfortunately because it was off season some of the things were closed and they had no events scheduled. It looks like they have a lot of events scheduled through out the summer. Might be fun.

We stopped here because this is part of our Thousand Trails Zone Pass membership. We needed to fill a couple of days before our two week stay in Williamsburg and booked here for 4 days. This is a year round campground with a lot of people who enjoy outdoor activities.  This might be one of the most active campgrounds with people outside having campfires and hanging out.  People were friendly and the noise quieted down at quiet time.  This was the first campground we stayed at where we checked in at the front gate and then drove around and picked our spot.  That was an interesting experience.

We were there in early October so the pool was closed.  Roads are a little narrow but drivable with many potholes.  The front gate is constantly manned. They have a good playground, courts, and arcade. It is right on the Piankatank River and has other fishing ponds on the grounds. It is very close to the Historic Triangle and we went to Yorktown Battlefield.

We would stay here again but I would bring a kayak and some fishing equipment.

About 14 miles out side of DC this campground is about as close as you can camp to our nation's capital. This is a large well maintained campground. Spaces are a little small in width but plenty long. Sites are level and covered in a fine pebble.

Unfortunately our site wasn't prepped before we arrived, the table was covered in some kind of black sticky substance and the fire pit had charcoals all over the grate. Normally I wouldn't complain about such trivial things but at $73 a night it should have been prepped.

They have a very nice laundry facility. Also a cafe, video games, TV lounge, showers, hot tub and sauna. Our kids enjoyed the playground and they have an adult workout playground.

The internet was good and included in the cost. Verizon was great, 20mg down and 15 mg up.

We were able to visit DC twice during our three day stay. We drove in and paid for parking. Cherry Hill RV Park offers many ways to see DC including a shuttle that picks you up at the front entrance.

We were happy with our stay. We gave it four stars instead of 5 because you can hear traffic on the highway constantly, night and day, as I mentioned the site wasn't prepped and they charge $5 per day for the kids. I am fine with a kid tax when the kids are provided some sort of special amenity, indoor pool, craft activity, something but being off season there wasn't anything going on at the campground.

We booked a two week stay at TT Williamsburg, it had a decent rating and was still open at the end of November. It was the end of the season and our last day there was their last day they were open. We stayed there because it was so close to the Historic Triangle and we had plans in the area.

Our stay was ok but I would have liked to have seen it in the summer.  This is an older, slightly rundown campground. It unfortunately looked as if maintenance was slipping but that may have just been because the season was over. The arrival is strange. Gate was broken and no signage to the office, which is buried in the middle of the campground.

The indoor pool was good and the hot tub was very hot.  We spent about half of our time at the campground.  Our site was washed out and had large ruts in it and a terrible slope.  We called it the "ankle sprainer". Lots of shade and trees. It had a fire ring but it was three sites down and I had to go get it. Sites were chaotic and not the same, some were larger and most smaller. The game room was nice, laundry and clubhouse were ok.

They don't have propane service and we had to drive a bit to find a place that would fill a tank. We were burning through tanks every couple of days. The closest grocery store was about 15 mins away.

Verizon was poor

LTE 2.1 down 2.4 up

No free internet.

My review isn't great but we would stay here again. It is part of our TT membership and the people that work the office were great. We even had an odd piece of mail show up there many weeks after we stayed there and they called us to see if we wanted it. Great touch.

Kennisee Lake was one of our second Thousand Trails Campground we stayed at. We were not members at this point but these campgrounds had lower prices than most. We did use our Passport America membership, on Sunday, to save a little money. We spent a weekend during the offseason in September. They had many RVs but very few people were in them. They placed us in the very back, a field that had been mowed and had full hookups. No trees and rather dusty when people drove by. We played a round of mini golf and biked the grounds. They have a lot of space and the grounds are well kept. I doubt we would choose to stay here again unless we had to and if we did I would make sure we were not in the field. It took us 5 mins just to drive out of the place we were so far back. Site was small and not very impressive. If you do need a place to stay, this will work. Just ask to not be placed in the field.

This is a good rest stop style campground. Close to the highway. Easy arrival and escorted us to our spot. Good hook ups, laundry and plenty of highway traffic noise. Close Walmart and a lake near by to spend the day. High turnover rate so if you don't like your neighbors they probably won't be there tomorrow. Internet is included and works great.

This was our first Thousand Trails campground we stayed at after purchasing the Zone Pass, very impressive. It was off season and they were packing up for the winter.  We stayed here for 3 nights in the first part of October.  We had been driving around the Adirondacks and experiencing the fall colors, this place was a great location.

This campground has a lot to offer.  We were placed into the general area, a pine forest with a beautiful view of the mountains.  We got lucky with some late warm fall weather and used the heated pool, kids loved it.  The area around the pool looked fun even though it was closed, a full bar and cafe area. We used the tennis courts and biked around the grounds. They have couple of sites here and there throughout the grounds, around ponds and through wooded areas creating different spots to camp and very different experiences.

They didn't have any events but the schedule for the previous summer looked fun.  The area around the campground is beautiful and provides lots of hiking and sites to see.

We stayed here so we could visit Niagara Falls, it is about 20 - 30 mins away. This is a clean well run campground. Sites are a good size. We have a 34' travel trailer that we parked without a problem. This campground is right on Lake Ontario and on a clear day can see Canada. There is a lot of open space and has a relaxed atmosphere.

It has very few amenities, but it does have wifi included which was useable. Bathrooms were clean and laundry was good. It also has a small playground for kids.

The sunsets are amazing and the lake is beautiful. It is close to Niagara Falls and Niagara Power Company Museum, Fort Niagara, a State Park which you can bike to and has lake access, and Lockport part of the Erie Canal.

It is good campground. It is cash only so bring cash with you there are very few banks or options to pick up cash very close.

This was a two week stay and part of our Thousand Trails membership and Encore add-on. If you get the TT membership the Encore add-on is highly recommend. This was the last two weeks of the season for them so there was not much going on and they were cleaning up and preparing for winter. We still loved it.

This campground sits just outside of Dessert Island at the Trenton Bridge.  It is a fantastic location. The campground has amazing views of Cadillac Mountain and is right on Eastern Bay. The grounds at the Narrows are tiered so that the spots further away from the water are a little higher and even if it was packed most spots would have good views. Many pull through sites, some are back in and the roads are wide and comfortable. Propane was decently priced, laundry was good and the workers were friendly.  Decent internet from campground. Spots were decently sized and level. We felt safe allowing the kids to go to the lake and ride bikes by themselves. It was very close to Acadia and Ellsworth, many lobster shacks and other dining available.

This was a pretty simple campground but it was exactly what we wanted.  Being so busy at Acadia and around the area I think a campground with a lot of amenities would have been distracting. We spent some time at the campground but most of our time exploring. It is near a small airport and the planes can get a little loud at points but there are some very cool planes that fly overhead.
