Customer Reviews
Great location, great campground. Miserable staff. At least the 2 of them - the woman at the front desk and the man in his golf cart. You can tell which ones I’m talking about by if they’re miserable or not. She answers questions to the least of her ability. Will definitely stay again, just knowing to not have any questions. Shes normally cool with 1 question, but definitely don’t over ask. It’s the only campground in the area though so you can’t upset her bec you don’t want to be black balled.
Philadelphia South / Clarksboro KOA Holiday is my favorite place to glamp, and it's incredibly dog-friendly. We've been coming here for years and absolutely love it. It's a small campground with multiple tent sites (no electric) and cozy cabins. Tent site have a picnic table, fire pit and a fairly large area for your tent and car. Most cabins are fully furnished with queen beds, a full bathroom, a kitchen, a dining area, and a pull-out sofa. (No bugs inside the cabins.) Everything is always clean, and the staff is very helpful. The Wi-Fi has gotten much better over the years.They also have a swimming pool, a game room, and various camping games. It's very family-friendly, and all dogs must be leashed outside of the dog park. While we usually stay in a cabin so we can watch TV on Sundays (Go Birds!), we also love to tent camp every once in a while. This location is also just 20 minutes from South Philly and all stores that you could possibly need are within a 5-10 minute drive. This place is open all year round, and both my dog and I love it!
This is a very nice and quiet KOA. Even though they were fully booked it was very quiet. Pretty close to Philly and far enough away from the city to enjoy it. Very clean restrooms. Showers were hot and just the right amount of pressure. Friendly staff and our dog really enjoyed the dog park. Will stay here again when in the area!
Clean, well-maintained park with lots of amenities. Pull-through sites are a little too close together for me however not horrible. FHU, mostly level gravel sites with tables and fire pits. Park WiFi was adequate for streaming YouTube TV. Friendly, professional accommodating staff. Heavily treed and was beautiful in late October. Convenient to grocery stores.
I stayed at this place twice. I’ll start with the negative points.The first time, I left my hand soap dispenser. It was brand new, but when I contacted the office the very next day, they told me it had been thrown away. This surprised me a lot.When I stayed there again the following weekend, I left my new, expensive glasses. I am absolutely certain — 100% — that I left them in the cabin where I was staying. When I called the next day, not only did they not answer the phone right away, but when they did answer, they said and promised that they would check for my glasses. I called three times. Three times they promised to look for them and never called me back. In the end, my glasses were lost.This leads to the conclusion that during cleaning, these glasses were kept by the staff. In other words, if you accidentally leave something there, you will not get it back. This is a huge downside, because when you travel — especially with children — it’s impossible to anticipate everything, and sometimes you may accidentally forget an item. Usually, in decent and well-managed places, you can simply call and your forgotten items are returned. But not in this case.This is a major drawback, and for this reason I will never return to this place.As for the positives: the cabins are clean, everything looks very nice visually, and it’s a great place for children to play. However, none of this really matters because the staff is very unfriendly.
