If I could give this campground zero stars, I would. We've been full-time Thousand Trails members for over 5 years and have stayed at nearly 50 different campgrounds, including Encore locations, across the US. Robin Hill in Pennsylvania was by far the worst experience we've ever had.
We arrived yesterday at 4:15 PM, a little over an hour after the 3:00 PM check-in time, to find the office already closed. The site we were assigned was too small for our trailer, there was no way we could safely fit. We immediately called the phone number listed for the campground to get help or a site reassignment, but received no answer, no call back, and absolutely no direction on how to proceed. With no staff in sight, we had no choice but to park in a nearby open site that our trailer fit into and where all of our hookups (water, electric, and sewer) could reach properly.
We finally got a return call, not until this morning at 9:30 AM, and were told we had to move to the original site we were assigned. We explained again that our trailer physically couldn’t fit, and that we were already safely hooked up in a functioning spot. Their response? “Move to the assigned site or leave.”
We asked why they couldn’t assign the tight site to a smaller rig, a common and completely reasonable request we've made at many other Thousand Trails parks without issue. Their answer? "We don’t do that here." This is absolutely unacceptable. Every other campground we’ve visited in the Thousand Trails network has worked with us when a site didn’t fit, the staff has always been kind, helpful and accommodating. But not here.
The lady at the front desk was rude, unprofessional, and outright hostile, literally yelling at us to leave. We were shocked. The campground itself is run-down, poorly maintained, and the management clearly has no regard for customer service or long-time Thousand Trails members.
This kind of treatment is not just frustrating, it's a serious issue for full-time Thousand Trails members who rely on these campgrounds as their homes. Thankfully, we had family nearby to stay with temporarily, but if we didn’t, we would have been scrambling to find last minute accommodations during Labor Day weekend, when availability is scarce and prices are through the roof. That’s an incredibly stressful position to be in, all because of this park’s mismanagement and unwillingness to be flexible.
Thousand Trails should seriously reconsider affiliating with this location. It reflects terribly on the brand and does a huge disservice to loyal members.
We will never return to Robin Hill. Ever.
