We had a wonderful time staying here! The cabin we stayed in was clean and very nice. The staff were very friendly! We trick or treated and participated in the fun Halloween activities they had. We played mini golf, cornhole and ping pong. Loved all the games. Everyone made us feel so welcome! We had an amazing weekend and made wonderful memories. We will be back!!

This was my wife and my first time here and it was more than expected. Leslie and all of the staff were very courteous and friendly always asking if we needed anything. We already made reservations for next year. The cabins were immaculate and comfortable. Everything from the mini golf course, store, pavilion and game room were great. Fire pit at every cabin were great.

This is my second year vacationing at the campground. I stay in the cabins, Friday night I did not get to sleep until after 1 am due to the noise from a cabin next to me.

I stay in the cabins, Friday night I did not get to sleep until after 1 am due to the noise from a cabin next to me. Prior to curfew I saw security several times, I assume they don’t police the grounds after curfew, otherwise the situation would have been handled. This year there were several people not following the one way signs or the speed limit, which is concerning. I love the cabins, they are clean and accommodating, and I think I will come down again next year, just hope campers abide by the rules and keep the campground safe. I don’t know all of the staff, but Mitch, Leslie & Danny are so welcoming and make me feel like family. ◦

Very nice place to relax and unwind. Everything was clean and well maintained. Many amenities to use. Many lots were secluded and we loved the hiking trails. I can see why they have repeat customers the staff was very friendly.

We had a awesome experience and wonderful stay. The campground is very clean and well maintained. We appreciated the quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Our site was ready when we arrived, it was nice and flat and had full hook ups with 50 amp service. The laundry and shower house was immaculately clean. We highly recommend.

We stayed here June through September and fell in love with the place and the people. Currently under new ownership, so many improvements have been made in such a short time. Due to its location within the tri state area, mountain top rv will quickly become a must see among RVers. They offer full hookups with honey wagon service, large rv spaces, ample game room, spotless bathrooms and showers, great walking trails and onsite recycling. Currently there season ends October 15 and they will soon have year round sites available. Verizon service was ok but our T-Mobile service did not work. There is an internet company that can provide high speed per site for those looking for a longer stay with connectivity. Convenient to many local attractions, Milford PA and Port jervis NY are great to visit. Mountain top rv family we love you and thank you so much for a fabulous summer, Travis had a blast!! Take care
