Tohickon Family Campground

If you’re looking for a family campground experience, this place is fine. No privacy of sites. Generally clean, well maintained. Staff very courteous and helpful. Only staying here because of nearby event I’m attending. Good place for family and kids. If you like elbow room and some privacy, this isn’t your place. No complaints; just not my style.

I called last minute and was told there was one site left for us from Friday to Friday. When we arrived, she informed me that I told her the wrong size for my motor coach, I did not, but I assumed it was a misunderstanding. So, there wasn’t a site open for the following Friday, but I could double check with her on Wednesday just to be sure. We were happy to get the off-season price, but were shocked to find later that tents payed the same price as RVs who are using sewer, water and electricity. We got there after dark and the road to the site is twisty and dark. There is no warning, or reflector or anything to let you know that on a curve there is a bolder that sticks out into the road, yes it got me. Now I have a nice scratch on my motor coach. After examining the bolder, I am not the only one who has met this fate. My son drove off, forgetting the 5mph rule and went 10mph. A crazy lady chased them down screaming at them for violating the rule. Yes, they were in the wrong, however, we noticed the staff do not abide by this same rule and go more than 10 mph. This includes a back hoe that was spreading stone who almost hit us as we went 5 mph and he was backing up. We had to go off the road to keep from getting hit! There were at least 16 sites on our side of the street for RVs. Including us there were 4 RVs all week, which was peaceful and we had a nice time visiting with everyone. Our neighbor was given a site with a “pond” as a yard, the only one with a pond. They could barely get out of their door without stepping in the huge puddle! They waded through it to pull the picnic table out but left the fire ring in the middle. They asked for a different site but it was refused. The whole time this guy is spreading gravel they did not fill in this huge puddle nick named “Lake Michigan” by the renters. They had to use a different site for their dogs. Of course, no one can control the weather, but when you have 12 other sites to offer, there was no reason for this. They locked the men’s room and my son was not able to get a shower when he wanted to, no sign, just locked, no idea when it would be unlocked. If we were tenting he would not have been able to use the rest room. There was a wedding on Saturday and we were told that we could not “leave or return after 4:50pm unless it was and emergency, but if we wanted to, we could peek at the bride”. We had to rush through our activity for that day to get back in time and then it made us feel very uncomfortable, like we were trapped. There was a storm, and the guy who was tenting for the week had the creek swell to just feet from his tent. When I went to talk to her on Wednesday about the possibility of staying that extra day, I had to go to her back porch as the store was not open all week. She was on the phone with a customer and mouthed that she would be just a minute. A young woman sat on the porch involved with her phone and the lady went inside to check her calendar for the customer. I waited there quite a while and the young women finally looked up and said, “she will be right with you”. There was no offer of a seat as there were plenty, but just stand there in the grass waiting. Finally, she came back after about 5 minutes and told me I would not be able to stay. Of all of the people we talked to none of us plan to return because of how the camp is run. We did find out that the people running the camp never camped a day in their life! How can you know what campers want if you have never camped? Wifi stunk!!!

Rate reflects daily price for one month stay, we've been here a week. Many seasonal sites, most well maintained for weekend use. Family activities on Saturdays. Daily / weekly sites kinda small, but this is an older campground. Mostly 30 amp, water some w sewer.
We are on a seasonal site, as one was available. Campground on a hill, most sites not very level, but manageable. Gravel roads, gravel/ grass sites, w picnic table fire ring. Friendly staff, well stocked store, "restaurant" rec room, game room, big pool, kiddie pool and playground.
Family atmosphere, enjoy the pool, have a campfire. No cable, limited WiFi. Bath house not sparkling clean, but OK. Laundry newer machines, old room.
About 25 minutes from I 78, so very quiet, follow their directions for most RV friendly route. 12 ft clearance on one side of entrance.
