Elizabethtown/Hershey Koa
We just stay there for 4 days .I would recommend that you stay away from this one .The staff is really rood,its not milatary friendly,the grass was over grown ,they put us in it looked like a gravel parking lot ,the site next to us sewer over flowed on to our site and all they did was put lime down couldnt even let dogs sit outside asked to move or refund but they didnt, on top of that the campground was infested with flies we had fly strips up just trying to help NOT. Just trying to save some of you some money.

We stayed there last year (4th of July-4 nights). Worst KOA we have ever stayed in. My PMS shut power off (low voltage) on a regular basis and I was running refrig. & water heater on gas. Power went off completely one afternoon & stayed off for several hours. Staff & owner were rood and unhelpfull. We put a patio matt down on the gravel/dirt outside our door that extened onto the grass area about 8" (no grass just dirt). Owner came by and said get matt off grass (?). We tryed to explain but were told "My campground - My rules - move the matt or leave. I can go on and on but had enough.

We have already reported them to the Koa headquaters since this is a privetley owned campground and they said they will be looking into it further.This place doesnt live up to the Koa standards and needs to be pulled from the Koa name.

I agree with reporting bad experiences when traveling. When I worked, I traveled about 35-42 weeks a year and stayed in mainly the Intercontinental chain (Crown Plaza, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn express, Candlewood suites etc).
If the hotel didn't stay up to the standards I knew to be expected, I always reported to headquarters. Sooner or later, the individual hotel usually lost their branding or shaped up quickly. Headquarter expects high quality from all their sites but can't get around to all of them to check them out. They love to hear from travelers.
I know campground chains are very similar. Heck, even the state campground like to know how they are doing (at least in Oregon.....). We let them know both the good and the bad. Helps fine tune the operation.
I hope reporting this sub-standard campground helps them clean up their act!!
Happy camping!!

Never been and never wil, thanks for the heads up and sorry you did not have a good time. Stayed once at the Hershey park campground and enjoyed the bus service.

Glad you reported them. We love KOA; and whenever we have a bad experience with one, we always let the head office know about it. We feel we're doing the company a great favor - they want a good reputation!
