Philadelphia South KOA, Clarksboro NJ

We are at our new home for a week, the Philadelphia South KOA

Our trip to our new campground started out through a 2 lane road  with a bridge that was open for one lane of traffic at a time ( a little stressfull) and then major highways to the interstate.

Outside of the 2 lane road, which was very scenic, it was pretty easy, except rain again.

The campground is not your typical KOA (we have been disappointed with KOA before but not this time). It is so clean, and very well maintained.   NJ law dictates no permanent residents and as a camper, that is a nice change.

I would rate this campground in the top 5% of places we have stayed in the last 5 years, and we have been at as some great ones. The only draw back is not internet at the sites.  They only have it at the office but they do offer it through an outside company.  So no problem, I don't mind paying for it. Something we haven't seen yet, 2 sewer connections per site to accommodate trailers and 5th wheels.  I'm sure that makes dumping a lot easier for them.

The campground became a KOA a few years ago and has just added the area we are in with large sites that back up to the woods, so no satellite again but lots of channels available without it. However the TV Saga continues for Big Bob.  The new antenna has been taken down and returned to camping World and the old antennae reattached  (seems we get more channels with the original).

The are some nice amenities here:

Playground  

Jumping pillows (looks like a hoot)

A pool and hot tub 

Cabins, that are laid out nicely and not on top of each other as we have seen when cabins are added.

 They even have two Clam Tents

The temperatures have been wonderful here - mid 70's to lower 80's.  We have had rain, but it has just been a nuisance - after all we are Floridians so rain is a way of life in the summer.

We took a trip over to Delaware but pretty much turned around and came back (we did stop for milk,  eggs  and bread).  I brought a freezer full of food and half my pantry, so we have not had to buy anything but those plus water.

Delaware was a zoo.  Eight lane interstate, and it seemed very exit lead to more interstates.  The highlight of trip was crossing the Delaware River, a $4.00 toll, but only entering Delaware, no tolls when leaving.  This is the only picture, because right after this, it got crazy!  Traffic everywhere, jocking for what lane they wanted, before the lanes went down to two right after the toll booth (construction).

We leave Sunday for the next adventure.  We have enjoyed our adventures here very much. I am hope you will enjoy reading about New Jersey and Philadelphia.

 Couple of things we saw while in the area

 Dog wearing socks

 Solar panels on the utility polls in both NY and PA - what a great idea.  Love to see this in FL
