We spent a long family weekend (2 adults, adult child & boyfriend, 1 teenage child, & a chocolate lab) staying at Happy Acres Resort.
The campground and the surrounding area was beautiful and the location was perfect for us to explore the PA Grand Canyon and more local trails for hiking.
We stayed in the Whitetail Ridge cabin and it’s a really cute cabin that technically sleeps 7 (full size room, full/twin bunk room, 2 twins in the loft). My only “grrr” (thus the 3 stars) with the cabin was that it did not have a table to accommodate even 4 people for eating together or playing board/card games (both of which are things we do regularly as a family). There was a small table for two inside that was attached to the wall, but the brackets did not seem able to bear the weight of two bags of groceries, so we ending up folding it down and not using it. There was a small table for two outside, but again - not enough for 4 or 5 people to sit together. To be fair, it looked like all of the other cabins had regular picnic tables outside, but ours did not. We ended up eating our meals on our laps on the couch watching TV (or on chairs around the fire) and we scrapped playing any games in the evenings. Not a big deal, just a bummer.
Lenora was polite and helpful on the phone while making the reservations. I agree with another reviewer that it feels risky paying in full weeks before with no option of refund/credit in case of an emergency - because life just happens. The camp store staff was helpful (attached to the restaurant) and our waitress at the restaurant was very friendly and accommodating. It was surprising (but not necessarily a bad thing) that during our 3 night stay, we never actually interacted with any campground staff, upon check in or check out.
If it matters to you, do not plan on having cell service other than SOS (we have Verizon), and while there is technically Wi-Fi offered in the campground, nothing loaded on any of our phones (maps, basic webpages, etc) unless we were sitting outside of the men’s bathroom in the Wi-Fi hotspot.
Overall, it was a nice play and I would recommend it.
