Honestly I loved the amusement park, but the campground just doesn't have good amenities compared to the majority of other ones I've been too. There's no electric hookup and there's no toilet paper in they're bathrooms and everything is very tight and cramped which can be normal for campgrounds, but this place does it the worst. The main problem was staff and employees on the campground. We were v... Honestly I loved the amusement park, but the campground just doesn't have good amenities compared to the majority of other ones I've been too. There's no electric hookup and there's no toilet paper in they're bathrooms and everything is very tight and cramped which can be normal for campgrounds, but this place does it the worst. The main problem was staff and employees on the campground. We were very nice and asked them if it was possible to leave our camper for a little bit before we moved it so we could enjoy the park for one more day. We made sure to mention that we of course wouldn't stay if someone else was already booked for out spot after us and needed it or if they couldn't do that we'd be fine with it. But the women was incredibly mean and said "Heck NO!" There's no reason to get that upset and yell it was just a question. She could've just said, "No we're sorry we're not able to do that. Someone else needs that spot." Even if that wasn't true I'd still say that to still be nice to the customer. I've worked in customer service for years and just because there are rude ones doesn't mean you should be rude to everyone you come across like geez. She was older with short brown hair. Stay clear lol. Also when we tried calling for a cabin another time they said they didn't have one with air conditioning even though their site online said they did so we ended up not giving them business and just went to a hotel nearby. Only good thing about the campground is your close to the park.

First time camping here and loved it. The tent lots are setup to be on large wooden platforms. So, you need to be sure your tent will be able to be properly pitched. Our tent really needs to be staked out, so I had to get creative! The bathrooms and showers were clean and there are a multitude to use! We were also a very short walk from the park which was amazing with children.

Love love love this place! My wife grew up camping here and I’ve been coming here for the past 10 years. Great amusement park for kids especially 10 and under. They still use tickets for rides, which is great, especially if your kids aren’t up for rides. There is no entry fee and parking is free. It has so much history and is family owned. Food is great, rides are fun and the water park is spring... Love love love this place! My wife grew up camping here and I’ve been coming here for the past 10 years.

Visited Knoebels many of times for both day trips, and week long ones. When staying there I have only stayed in tented locations. The campground is very nice and overall clean, the lot we have had multiple times is fairly big, but also some of them aren’t as private in my opinion. Everything is in walking distance as well. The amusement park is amazing and has a variety of attractions for all ages... Visited Knoebels many of times for both day trips, and week long ones.

The amusement park is amazing and has a variety of attractions for all ages, as well as are usually catered to the seasons and themed too! Very family friendly all around, decently quite and offer lots of different options for rides and games. They have a billion different choices for food and whatever you might be craving that day. Totally recommend, will be returning.

We enjoyed our stay at the Knoebels Campground. Our cabin, though rustic, was pretty nice, with a porch, outlets, and a fan in the loft area - helpful since the loft got hot our first night. The bathhouses' designs are great, with you having your own private shower and toilet stall that's almost fully enclosed. However, the doors had a lot of graffiti on them. We also noticed that there were staff... We enjoyed our stay at the Knoebels Campground.

We also noticed that there were staff hosing the floors of the stalls and emptying the trash cans and whatnot, so they clearly take cleanliness as a high priority. The shuttle bus was very convenient, as my mom and I were about to walk, like, the full length of the campground (BC-73 to the Trading Post) when the guy driving it offered us a ride. He was also very friendly and had a good taste in radio stations. Overall, we were very pleased and will probably come back again.
