Fun time for a family

Fun little campground with friendly staff and wide open spaces. Clean bathrooms, great pool, fun little game room. The playground got 2 thumbs up from a 4 and 6 year old. There was a movie night every night. Close to stores (15 mins). The KOA is close to Presque isle and the amusement park, which is a fantastic place for kids. Sites were a good size and comfortable to be around.

Helpful staff saved trip

This was our second trip to the Erie KOA for a soccer tournament in Edinboro. Our trip was almost ruined when our popup cable system failed and we could not use our camper. The staff was able to move us to a cabin and prevent us having to find other accommodations. They even stopped over to check on us after we swapped sites.

The kids enjoyed fishing in the pond and were able to catch a large small mouth bass and lots of blue gills.

Wish we had been able to use our original site overlooking the pond but the cabin provided what we needed.

Nice camping out back

Camped in the back behind the pond in popup camper. Nice and quite back there and close to the bath house and wash station. There is more privacy between sites and lots of shade on the loop around the pond.

The kids enjoyed the gaga ball pit and fishing in the KOA pond.

Family Friendly Camping

Beautiful wooded campground. All of the cabins from basic to deluxe are perfect. Pop up sites and camp sites are really nice! Owners are strict about the rules . But that is not a bad thing.

Nice spot, lots of families

Our trailer spot was tucked in the woods amongst tents. Nice and wooded. There was a nice playground with a bounce mat that our kids loved. Got busier on the weekends but has plenty to do.

Great showers

Showers were excellent and very clean. The park was very well maintained. The sites are not level and are very crowded. It is good for an overnight stop. On site pizza is very convenient and they deliver to your site.

Small, but friendly and quiet place

Nice fishing pond. Easy to ride bikes around. Kids loved seeing the giant teepees. Pool is clean and centrally located. It’s a bonus that they have food available to buy like burgers and hot dogs!
