I have to keep reposting reviews because Kingswood keeps lying in their responses! I’m glad that my HONEST reviews have helped some people find out the truth about Kingswood because way too many people lie about how quiet and private this camp is. Most of their campsites are either very close to the road or too close to each other, so don’t expect privacy. Expect your neighbors to hear and see almost everything you do on your campsite!!! So many campers are also VERY loud and disrespectful. Their noise ruins the quiet and peaceful tranquility of nature. The staff members have been lying about me, bullying me, and spreading rumors about me for years. They acted like they discriminated against me because I had alternative religious beliefs that I kept to myself, and they’ve also judged me for who I am. They acted like they could treat me as less while unfairly favoring all the other campers. They pretended that I didn’t matter, but my father was their biggest customer. Once I decided I didn’t want to be around those people who treated me badly and lied about me to make themselves feel better, they lost A LOT of money! HAHAHHA!!!!! They need to learn how to treat everyone EQUALLY. They pretend to be inclusive but they’re not! I will NEVER go back to this disgusting campground where the geese poop all over the beachfront every spring and the staff members are jealous and mean. The staff has lied about me and the camp numerous times on google reviews, and they lie in every response to my HONEST reviews. They lie to customers when they ask about my reviews and try to blame me, when I’m not at fault. So many rude campers bothered ME, and staff didn’t care. Staff wanted to bully me instead of being fair. They claimed on the last google review that I had “inappropriate interactions” with other people when that’s not true. What do they even mean by that anyways? They really mean that they’re lying because it’s so vague and an odd phrase to choose. It’s obvious that I never did anything, and they just want to bully me and blame me. There is at least one staff member who has written a review on google about the camp, which isn’t allowed. The female staff appear to be so jealous of me!!!! Are they jealous because I’m so beautiful and my hair is so long? Are they jealous because I look so young for my age? They don’t even know how talented I am! Haha! Why are they such horrible people that pretend to be good?

Newbie here! I’ve only went camping once before coming to kingswood and this was a totally different vibe. I was welcomed in by the staff and campers with opened arms, which made the experience a ton less intimidating. Throughout the couple of days of staying on their site everyone was so kind and accommodating which made me feel really comfortable. Love the environment and ambience, with the groomed greens to the tranquil layout of the campsites. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who is looking for a good relaxing time.

★★★★★Denise

Wonderful, peaceful, family-oriented campground. The bath house is first rate. The campsites are well stocked. The pond is lovely for swimming and boating. Camp managers are friendly and helpful.

Our family came from Brooklyn New York, on a lake we met some people from Long Island... so 4 hours drive... is worth it Because huge territory, with lake, beach, boats... We stay with our tents, but you can rent those, with spot for cooking and cover from rain... so it is convinient. Also, on barn you can spent some time playing in different games and take shower. Good to visit.

★★★★★Vincent Lam

Great campsite. We try to come here every year. They supply all the basic essentials. You bring the rest. Clean bathroom and showers. Even when the place is fully booked, it still quiet and peaceful.
