Dogwood Acres Campground Makes the “A” Grade in the Nation’s First
Consumer Satisfaction Survey of Independent, Privately-Owned Parks

Dogwood Acres Campground was one of only 31 campgrounds and RV resorts across the country to earn an all around “A” grade in the nation’s first consumer satisfaction survey of independent parks, earning an “A” grade in overall guest satisfaction for the year 2009. The top parks were announced in Orlando, Florida on November 12, 2009 during an awards ceremony hosted by the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds.

Nearly 17,000 camping and RV enthusiasts participated in the 2009 online survey, which evaluated guest experiences at 1,840 independent campgrounds and RV resorts affiliated with the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds. Consumers are invited to submit their own reviews of private campgrounds and RV resorts they have recently visited by logging on to links such as the one below or which can be found at www.gocampingamerica.com, then clicking on the “Review a Park” tab. Survey results for many parks are posted on the GoCampingAmerica website. The GuestRated.com national online survey program was launched in February 2008 in collaboration with the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds.

The owners, Charlie and Lucille, went above and beyond of what they needed to do to make our stay enjoyable. I would highly recommend this campground to anyone traveling in the PA area. The minute we drove into the campground we knew we had hit the jackpot. It was like the campgrounds where I camped in the sixties. Friendly people, lots to do, very clean. We were so impressed with the campground that we decide to go back to it on our way home on Labor Day weekend. Needless to say, they were booked solid but they told us to come in and they would hook us up at the house. We also had a problem with a smell around the camper and thanks to Lucille’s insight, she realized that our battery was ready to explode and had Charlie take it out for us and got another battery for us to use until we could get a new one. Many thanks to both Lucille and Charlie for a pleasant stay. We will be back.

Dogwood Acres is one of the most beautiful campgrounds we have stayed at. It is nestled at the foot of the mountains and is quiet and offers something for everyone. We recently camped during the Halloween Weekend and enjoyed it so much that we immediately booked a reservation for next October. Charlie and Lucille are incredible owners/hosts. You can’t go wrong staying here!

The owners are wonderful people! We were tent camping, and we only brought a 25' extension cord. The owner, Charlie, said “that’s not gonna work, I'll bring you one to borrow.” He quickly went back, brought one back to us and hooked it up, told us where the water was, even delivered our wood for us! We forgot our axe, so he gave us one at a discount and a case for it! The owners go above and beyond expectations for you. Plus they were very helpful, and always to be found; if you needed anything, they were there to help! What a wonderful, relaxing, very friendly place. What wonderful people!!! The other campers are very friendly as well! You are made to feel like you’re part of their family. Also, the minute you arrive, you are “delivered” to your site, and you are part of the family already! LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

This is an outstanding campground. We are treated like family and the grounds are beautiful and very well kept. It is our favorite weekend getaway.

This was our first trip to Dogwood Acres Campground, and it will certainly not be our last. Lucille and Charlie went above and beyond to ensure our trip was perfect. They become each camper’s friend during the trip and make sure that everything on the campsite is flawless. Their campsite is immaculate. The bathrooms/showers are extremely cleaned and well maintained. They offer conveniences that campers may have forgotten in their store. There are several trails and activities in the immediate area that provide entertainment outside the campground. I would highly recommend this campsite to anyone who enjoys the outdoors.

We enjoyed the children’s activities and were glad to have our youngest child included even though he was a little young for the activity. He was made to feel involved. All had a great time.

Really loved their commitment to their guests and making their campground the best in the area. Great conversation. Very impressed with their commitment to community and supporting local troops. Great family, great business. We will return.

Great place – we definitely plan to return. Our kids LOVED the playground. We found it pretty quiet at night (which is important to us with little ones) and really appreciated the visibility of the owners who kept things running smoothly. The cleanliness of the restrooms and general maintenance of the campground showed the owners are proud of their place and plan to keep it nice. Thanks for a fun weekend!

Charlie and Lucille were very accommodating to our Good Sam Club’s needs. We have some big rigs, and they would ask the wagon master which sites would accommodate each rig as they checked in. This is a beautiful campground with many trees on the campsites, so sometimes certain campers/rigs may not fit. The weekend we were there was very hot, but with the trees, it was quite pleasant to sit outside. Our club really enjoyed the campground and have planned to come back again next year.
Dori Golden, York Haven, PA


The campground is excellent and the service was exceptional. Our whole family felt like we knew Charlie and Lucille for years. We felt like we were doing camping in our own backyard … that’s how warm they are. We will definitively go back. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!!!
Jorge Arce, Reston, VA

From the warm and receptive staff, to the cleanliness of the facilities, our camping experiences at Dogwood Acres have always been pleasant and relaxing. It is definitely one of the better campgrounds that we have been to!
Paula Conrad, York, PA

Let me tell you … we had a great weekend. The people at Dogwood Acres are AWESOME! So very nice. I am picky when it comes to campgrounds, and I give this one a 10! The water pressure is awesome. Nothing like a good shower when you are in your trailer. Our coffee pot broke and they brought a pot to our trailer. Again, very nice people, clean campground, etc.
