The Clarksboro KOA provides electrical hookups, picnic tables, and drinking water, with cabin facilities ranging from basic to deluxe. A visitor commented, "The staff was very friendly and the tents were more glamorous than we had tried before, but definitely had a good combination of woodsy and comfort." Evansburg State Park Campground also offers cabin accommodations with electric hookups and picnic tables, though without shower facilities on site.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Philadelphia West Chester KOA provides cabin rentals with amenities such as electricity, running water, and fire rings. Most cabins require advance reservations, particularly during peak summer months. The Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA operates year-round, while other facilities like Old Cedar Campground are seasonal, operating approximately April through October. Pet policies vary by property, with some locations like Philly Love Boats prohibiting pets in their cabin units. A camper wrote, "We stayed in one of the glamping tents. The only thing we didn't really like was that there are A LOT of RV sites."
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely between properties, with some offering only basic outdoor cooking areas and others providing more extensive indoor options. Several campgrounds, including KOA locations, have on-site markets for basic provisions, though selection is typically limited. Boulder Woods Campground and other locations provide firewood for purchase, saving campers from needing to transport their own. Bathhouse facilities are generally centralized rather than in-cabin, so guests should plan accordingly when selecting a location and packing supplies.

TravelerCountry Acres is a lovely, well maintained campground. Sites are level and bath house facilities clean and modern. Friendly staff in the office. Dog friendly. Local to all the Lancaster attractions. A complimentary farmland tour is offered by bus and it was great. They take you out into an area of Amish farms and shops and make a stop at 2 of these. The fresh Amish pretzels are amazing!
GuideThis campground is part of the Wharton State Forest and has several campgrounds in the area. Great wooded sites right on a lake. Pretty good separation between sites with good tree separation between sites. Some road noise not overly affecting site.
ScoutRestrooms are filthy with mold and mildew.
Water puddled on the restroom floor.really gross.
Cabin was mostly clean. The windows were full of dirt and bugs on the tracks.mattresses were terrible.The fireplace was nice. Kitchen was clean.
Can t wait to move on to a cleaner park.
GuideWe stayed here to go to the Hershey RV show—about 55 min drive. Right in the center of Amish country. Campground is adults only. It was very clean. The bathrooms were very clean with great water pressure. The roads are tight for getting into sites. Site 5 was not level side to side. We met great people there.
ScoutThe campground is in excellent condition. The facilities are top notch. The excellence and care of the campground is evident. The 4 stars is only due to the road noise and many of the sites are on top of each other. You feel like your neighbor is at your camp fire.
GuideBeautiful campground but made the mistake of going on a holiday weekend, the campgrounds next to us were screaming and blasting music all day and throughout the night so we ended up leaving early. A beautiful campground when there aren’t noisy capers ruining it.
ScoutAs far as experience it was good. The main issue was the campsite where we were was uneven and caused many of the sleeping arrangements that we had to be not level. This seems to be a specific issue to the group campsite number two as when we went inwards it seemed like everything else was much better.
GuideMary & her crew run a great campground. Full hookup. Slow schedule during the week-camp store & pool mainly. Saturdays always have activities planned from bingo to quarter auctions, picnics & music. Each Saturday is different. Clean grounds. Nice playgrounds. Kiddie pool & nice size pool from 3-5’ deep. 2 cabins also available.
GuideI personally did not like this campsite. First of all, our site tag was leftover from SEPTEMBER. Did no one look at any of these sites and leave someone else’s registration posted there for almost a year? Wild. Our campsite had trash leftover from previous campers. The whole campground was loud - from other campers to just the sounds from the nearby road. If you are looking for peace it is NOT here. If you’re looking to have loud music time all night with no repercussions as your kids ride around yelling and carrying on past midnight then you’ll have a blast. The pros of this campsite was supposed to be the access to Lake Atsion but we were turned away at the gate at 12:30 as they stated they were at capacity. Checking into our campsite they specifically asked if we would be utilizing the recreation area so we would have a pass for entry, but that’s seemingly not in their logistical headcount. I would not visit here again.
