Friends of registered campers are welcome to visit during the day and will need to vacate the campground by 10:00 pm. There is a $5.00 ($10.00 on holidays) per person per day visitor fee required upon entrance to the campground. All visitors must register at the office. Additional vehicle parking is available in the visitor parking lots. Campground management reserves the right to limit visitors and refuse admission.

Mercer/ Grove City KOA welcomes well-behaved pets and their humans.  We expect pet owners to be courteous of the rights of others to a safe, clean, and comfortable camping experience. Pets that are hostile or aggressive will be asked to leave the campground, along with their owners.  All pets must remain on a leash no longer than 6 feet when out on the grounds, except inside the doggy playground.  Please, do not leave your pets unattended and always remember to clean up after them. Constant barking bothers other guests. If your pet is too vocal, you'll need to find other accommodations.

If you're camping with family or friends, consider our buddy sites!  For RVs, we have three different sets of buddy sites, one of which is an awesome deluxe patio site combination!  

• The Deluxe KOA Patio buddy sites are site numbers 100 and 102.
  
• Our regular pull-thru, full-hookup, buddy sites are site numbers 16 and 18 and sites 12A and 15A.
  
• If you're camping in one of our cabins or lodges, we have buddy tent sites to combine Cabin and Tent camping!
  
• RV site #116 and Lodge L-2 pair together great with each other if you want to combine RV and Lodge camping!
  
• RV site #58 has a perfect buddy tent site to keep your tent friends cozy right next to your RV.
  

Please call or email to request your buddy site when making your reservation!

10PM - 8AM. Please allow others to get a good nights sleep.

Please do not bring firewood into the campground. If you do, you will be asked to keep it inside your vehicle and remove it from the property immediately.
Firewood is available for purchase. $9 for one bundle, $25 for 3 bundles, and $40 for 5 bundles.This wood has been heat treated by a DCNR certified supplier and kiln dried to kill off any insects or disease.

They give you shade. They provide oxygen. Please help keep our trees available for future generations.

Pests traveling in outside firewood, or pallets, have killed off hundreds of trees on the property.
Wood that looks clean and healthy can still have tiny insect eggs, or microscopic fungi spores, that will start a new and deadly infestation.
Aged or seasoned wood is still not safe. Just because it is dry does not mean that bugs can't crawl onto it!
So please, don't bring firewood into the park, even if you think it looks fine.

Thanks for understanding why we can't allow outside firewood, and for helping us save the remaining trees on our property!

Motorized vehicles such as golf carts and ATVs are NOT permitted in the campground. Electric handicap scooters are allowed, provided the 5 mph speed limit and rules of common courtesy are observed.

We pick up trash at your site. Please leave bags close to the road, so we see them. Pick up happens through out the day. Don't leave bags out at night - you may receive unwanted visitors!

We pump propane!  Whether you have a grill tank, motor home, or food truck, we are equipped to pump your propane.  *Check with front office for pricing. Propane filled during regular business hours and cannot be filled after dark.

Hours up to Memorial Day weekend are 10AM - 5PM
Memorial Day through Labor Day hours are 10AM - 8PM
Hours after Labor Day are 10AM - 5PM

Closing for the season shortly after Labor Day weekend depending on weather and/or maintenance needs
Thunder or storm - everyone is to evacuate from the pool area until it is deemed safe to re-enter.

We have 2 toilet / shower combinations and 1 toilet room open for use in our back bathroom complex. We are making plans to finish 2 more rooms in the future. Thank you for your patience.

Cars must fit on gravel of your site. Please NO parking on the grass, it kills the grass and creates mud. Extra vehicles may be parked in the visitor lots.
Please do not park on vacant sites. Vacant sites need to remain available to campers.
Visitors are to park in the visitor parking lots.

Sleeping tents are only allowed on tent sites.
One Sleeping tent per paid Tent site. No sleeping tents are permitted on RV or cabin sites without a separate reservation.

Guest wifi is free with no password.

We have trees. Lots of trees. There is no guarantee that a satellite signal will be accessible from any site on the park. Guests staying in spring, before the trees leaf out, and guests staying in fall, after leaves have fallen, have the best chance of success.

The concrete bath house in the back of the park, between sites 40 and 41 is the safest building on the campground.

It's a great day at the Mercer/Grove City KOA

Hey campers!

We're Sandy and Andy Arnold. We've always loved traveling in our RV with the family, chasing adventures and making memories wherever we went. That love is what pushed us to open this place and share the same feeling with everyone who pulls in. Back in 2018, we bought our first campground, thinking it would be our fun "retirement" project. Then 2020 hit, and despite the challenges, we ended up buying two more through our little family company, Ugly Duckling Recreation Group. We started UDRG  because we couldn't stop dreaming bigger. These days our, grandkids keep us on our toes and remind us why we do this every single day.

We pour our hearts into this campground and love nothing more than watching people treat the place like their second home. Our team is always around—happy to grab you firewood, share a local tip, or just chat by the fire.

So come on in, and let's make some great memories. We really can't wait to meet you!

Warmly,
Sandy & Andy Arnold
