Asked for pull thru told none were available, booked up. Assigned # 53 which was sufficiently rutted that the entire space was not usable as a backin. Moved to # 57 which seasonal campers used all night til midnight as a cut thru. The drive in movie was packed,neighbors had the radio version of the movies turned up full. No on ever showed up for two pull thru spaces across from us!! Bummer night

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are adding more pull thru's next year, being that this is our first season as owner's. Even though the site may have looked open, often people cancel their reservations last minute and forfeit their deposit. We don't generally know this till the last minute. We also operate the drive thru which is a large attraction for the park, so sorry that you did not want to participate with the movies!

We were located behind the main office. Unfortunately, people would cut through beside our RV as a shortcut. The garbage was across from our spot so the area was active. Spots are very close together. Not an ideal spot. Laundry room was too small for the park. Only 3 washers and most of the time they were taken up by one person. I used the laundromat in town and was able to get laundry done

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Hello, sorry to hear that you had to go into town for laundry. Unfortunately it is difficult for us to police who uses the devices and if at all the same time. Our spots are large enough to house RV's up to 35' with the awning open and firepits/furniture.

Don and his staff were very friendly and I enjoyed meeting them. it will be nice when he gets a chance to expand his facility and when he does I would like to stay there on my next time in New Brunswick.

The restrooms near our site were broken so we had to walk a distance. This was the only thing I can complain about. this is a nice place to camp.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the review! The bathrooms were closed to freshen the paint but was open in time for the long holiday weekend! It's never convenient to shut down for repairs but totally necessary if we are to maintain the standards that so many look forward to when staying with our brand!

When we signed in no one gave us a card to open the gate so we couldn’t get in. Had to go back and ask for one. Rainy day and the picnic table at the cabin was soaked. The shared dining shelter for all the the cabins only has one table. Other people took over the entire shelter. Had to cook and eat in the rain.
Aug 03, 2019
Cabin door didn’t open fully. Garbage left in the cabin.
Aug 02, 2019
upon arrival I paid for the full 11 nights and then proceeded to my site. The site was totally unusable and should not have been assigned to me it was only suitable for an annual unit. I could not level, could not drain my sewer. We decided that we could not stay any longer than 5 nights and without a refund we decided to just chalk this up to a grossly bad decision and forfeit our last 6 nights.

Main bathroom under construction - for a large campground only two bathrooms very far apart. TWO female showers for the whole park. The one shower I took the shower was only partially finished and very dirty (paper towel bunches and dirt on floor). Very small playground. Kamp Kabin cramped, claustraphobic due to low ceiling, with only one tiny windo - no screen door. Hot. Dirty. Horrible

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Doing maintenance on facilities is never a good time but necessary. The restrooms were fully opened for the long holiday weekend. As for hot weather, it's hard to blame us for that! We build our cabins to KOA standards!

Not private enough and grass was not cut!
Jul 30, 2019
Only there for one night as we were passing through. Clean and quiet. Drive in movie right next door was a great idea.
Jul 30, 2019
Site was on a slope so difficult to level the trailer. Had to readjust the following day. Asked for a new picnic table and it was delivered within the hour. thank you.
Jul 30, 2019
The grass wasn’t cut. You feel as if you are camping in a parking lot. You are in full sun. The showers are too far and there should be more. Not a very nice experience.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Hi, the grass was cut the day prior to your arrival! We have shaded areas available under our beautiful apple trees!

Super place, super nice staff only down on our stay was a barking dog next to us, the owners left the dog in there trailer and would leave for 2-3 hours and the dog would bark for 2-3h!
Jul 29, 2019
Really enjoyed the family atmosphere and the connection to the drive-in theatre. Some sites could be levelled better.
Jul 29, 2019
Dogs barking incessantly until 2am as they were left alone while owners went elsewhere. Drunken adults cursing and yelling around 1:30am. Tiny pool. Kids needed a key to use bouncy pillow. Have never run into this before. Positive: the call to let me know the office would be closed upon arrival was appreciated. Drive in movie theatre looked cool.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Hi, we offer one large pool, one small pool and one wading pool! Perhaps you missed the larger pool! Unfortunately we can't control people's behavior and we are a dog friendly park, people should be responsible for their pets as they should with their children.

We have stayed at KOA all over the USA and Canada. This KOA surprised us for it is really a trailer park/camping park. The bathrooms are insufficient for trailers and campers. The toilets were disgusting and rarely could you flush them. The bathrooms were unsanitary at best. Note the 14 day cancellation policy. No refunds. Quite costly. KOA should be ashamed.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Hi, our bathrooms are cleaned 2X daily. Our park like others in the region are comprised of seasonal's and weekenders as there is not enough traffic to fill any park locally with transient traffic. We abide by KOA's cancellation policy which is 48 hours and not 14 days.
Jul 28, 2019
This location is great. Staff was accommodating regarding uneven campsite and allowed me to move. I think the drive in is a great amenity I only wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the drive in. It's a great flash back to a forgotten era! Wish my boys could have done it. Timing just did not work out. Pools were great. My basketball fan has able to enjoy an actual street court. Well done!
Jul 28, 2019
Too many seasonal campers and all there junk

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Hi, our site offers divided areas for weekenders and long term guests so that the interaction is kept to a minimum. All campgrounds in this geographic region offer both types of services as there is not enough volume to support only weekend traffic.
Jul 27, 2019
Won’t be back

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Hi! Just to clarify, you won't be back as you live on the other side of the country and won't be in the area anytime soon?
Jul 26, 2019
A complete lack of internet communication, so be prepared. WIFI is shown as available but connection doesn't happen. The larger of the two pools has very cloudy water and while this may be attributable to the local water system, I'm not convinced. VERY full over the weekend but overnight fees were much higher than comparable KOA locations.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Hi, we have made adjustments to the internet this past week with new AP's. This is the first year with fiber so we ask your patience in improving this experience. The water in the pools is fine, we check all levels daily.
Jul 26, 2019
Nice quick getaway. Bathrooms are so nice and clean as was small pool. Large one was closed for maintenance. Firewood was crummy and expensive. Loved being close to the drive in and not far from home.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Hi, our firewood is priced competitively versus the local dealers and our wood is professionally bundled to avoid it being "Crummy!"
Jul 24, 2019
Very disappointed to not have wi-fi. Other than that it was fine

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Hi, we upgraded the Wi-Fi access points on July 24th! We brought in Fiber and all new networking gear this year. It's a large task to provide Wi-Fi to an area filled with metal boxes, leaves and various elevations! Come back and try it out! Most are streaming Netflix now on the premium package!
Jul 23, 2019
Excellent park, everything was clean and well cared for. The drive in took it over the top...excellent stay.
Jul 22, 2019
We were put on a lot that wasn’t big enough for our trailer and still give us someplace to park and use our fire pit. Our lot was also just rough dirt. There was not much left to the lawn. The ladies showers there was so little pressure I had a hard time rinsing the shampoo out of my hair. The power keep flickering while my son and I were in the shower.

Worst KOA that we’ve stayed in throughout North America! Avoid! About 75% are seasonal residents. Caused us to rent a full service $76 site for our Teardrop. Could barely drive bc swarming kids were playing on the road. A parking lot not a campground. Picnic table distance between next camper. No shade. Noisy. Dirty facilities. No water pressure. Most $ for non-holiday KOA w/least benefits.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Hi, unlike other areas of Canada and the US, the campgrounds regionally are comprised of seasonal and weekender lots. We are in fact 50/50 not 75% and we have separate areas so that the two do not mingle and that you feel the experience of a true KOA campground. We are a family campground and many kids travel with their parents, this is a positive item and should not be viewed negatively!
Jul 20, 2019
This is a really neat KOA with a drive-in theatre right beside the campground facilities and part of the same ownership. Wi-Fi was spotty, but I spoke to the owner and he has had fibre installed to the campground and has three more access points to be installed by the end of July (2019) that should remove the remaining areas with poor coverage. We look forward to visiting again next year.
Jul 20, 2019
The Sussex KOA was a horrible experience. we crawled into our tent at 9pm to the sounds of the seasonal campers party. To our dissapointment we found out quiet time did not start till midnight. After midnight came we tried to contact the management to have the party quieted. We were unable to reach anyone by phone. Don't go there. If you need a place to tent, camp at Fundy National Park.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Hello, we have security at the park on the weekends to address these issues, you simply need to see our staff at the main entrance who will assist you. Furthermore they always do a drive thru the park multiple times up to and including quiet time.

Propriétaire bilingue. À l'écoute de nos demandes et soucieux de rendre notre expérience à son camping très agréable.
Jul 19, 2019
Need better wifi at the campsites, but I understand you are planning to address that. Great!
Jul 19, 2019
Washroom not too clean. Water pressure in shower horrible. Site confusing . Very ''parking lot'' style

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Hi, we have staff who clean our facilities in the morning and around 5pm daily. If you found it in such a state, please notify staff and we will gladly re-evaluate and re-clean. We have lots of kid traffic in these areas!
Jul 18, 2019
Great location. Short drive to St. Johns, St. Martins, Fundy National Park, etc. Unique in that it is co-located next to a drive-in theater (adjoining property). Owners working hard to upgrade the facilities with paved roads and wi-fi. All staff were friendly, professional and courteous. Definitely stay here if you are visiting the Sussex area.

tranquile, pour adulte et une tente c'était trers bien. Cinéparc juste a coté du camping. employés sympatiques petit hick et je les ai avisé : la poubelle de la salle de bain ne fut pas changer pour deux jour, donc je questionne le nettoyage de la salle de bain meme si elle paraissait propre. bien positionner proche de la high way, ce n'était pas si bruyant
