We have been camping for 10 years and this is the worst campground we have ever stayed in. The site was small, overgrown and the picnic table was buried in the mud. It was extremely noisy and the kids were running loose, and the parents were as bad -drunk and playing loud music. There is no privacy and respect for... More

This is one of the worst run campgrounds ever. We were promised a Full hookup site and got here and had no sewer. The office was only open until 4 on weekdays and 6 on weekends. No way to complain, no one to greet you. The place has 3000 sites, not the capacity to serve it. We had no water... More

This was my first experience at Drummer Boy, and it will be my last. A group of my friends rented one of the cottages. On first glance the cottage was very nice, and it was only about two years old. The kitchen is nicely stocked with plates, cups. utensiles, etc. Those are the Pros. Now for the Cons, where to... More

We used to stay here every year when I was growing up (late 80's and early 90's). I used to love it. In the last 10 years they have expanded and added several new features. I've stayed in one of their cabins and loved the perks. The cabin featured a bunk room, bathroom, kitchen area, dining area, and living room.... More

We had a great experience. We stayed at the campground, last year. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They suggested a lot of different, fun things to do, near by. The campground is very clean! They also have this awesome water slide, which my kids loved. This slide is an extra fee, but worth it! Our campsite was spacious.... More

We spend several days here. The sites are small with no shrubbery in between. This meant very little privacy. We were located over a mile from the office, which is way too far to walk to activites. The bathrooms were not conviently located with only 1 shower in our location. The trash collection was at a central site and completely... More

This campground was so close to rt 15 that I could have thrown a rock and hit a car, that is all you heard all night long. The cost for a weekend here was very expensive

This campground is in a great location, but it lacks some of the most important elements. Some of the sites are small and very close together. We were put on a hillside with our pop up...not a great experience. We also found the activities staff to be very rude and unhelpful. In comparison, this campground is pretty expensive, and it...

Like the person who wrote before me, I was very leary about this campground based on so many negative reviews. I considered cancelling my reservation because of them. ...I'm very glad I didn't. My family and I went Thursday-Sunday 10/20-10/24 for the Halloween themed weekend. We have a travel trailer and stayed at the front part of the campground that's... More

Stayed Thursday through Sunday October 20 - 24, 2011. Some reviews of this camp were so bad I was nervous about our 4 family (20 people plus dogs) tent group staying but I was pleasantly surprised at how nice everything was. We took up tent sites 87, 88, 89, 91, 92 and cabin D6. We were not aware of the... More
