We returned from Beacon Hill Campground in Intercourse just about one month ago and loved it. No children under 16, no pool, just plain relaxation and beautiful scenery. Either side of the campground is Amish farms. Campground has a lovely garden area to sit and relect. Frequenty buggies passing by. You can walk to the village area. I would stay here in a heartbeat should I ever get the chance again. Very friendly owners. Get a site up on the hill, if possible, near the store, which is shadier than the sites down below. In my opinion, Intercourse is the place to stay to be in the heart of Amish country. Have fun!

In the Spring of this year we visited Country Haven for the 3rd time over the past few years. For certain it is one of our more favorite campgrounds. Click here and then scroll down the page to see some pics taken at the campground. Also, you can get some ideas of things to do while in the area. Shady Maple Smorgasbord is a must!!!

We were at Country Haven two weeks ago but will never go back as long as it remains under the current ownership. Temperatures were 98 degrees and I couldn't use the AC. When I asked them if they were aware of the low voltage they got nasty and said they couldn't do anything about it. They said the power company would only supply them with 108 volts. Maybe so, but it would have been nice of them to tell me that before I checked in since an AC requires 120 volts. But they would rather you find out for yourself since they're covered by their policies:
1) no refunds for early departure
2) campground is not liable for damages due to their negligence
So, I paid $332 for one night but it was cheaper then buying a new AC.

WOW!! I have to tell you that WE CANCELED here thank goodness!! What happened was hubby wasn't thrilled with the woman on the phone i.e. I guess the owner but we were staying there anyway. My 8-pound Pomeranian had to be on a leash while on our lap - fine but we were so nervous because one bark and she said we'd be kicked out! Plus we have to have AC because if it's warm we keep it on for her. Anyway I called because we actually wanted to arrive a night early. No apology from her as in "I'm so sorry. I know you'll be here for 4 nights but we are totally full for Friday night." Instead just We're full. I mentioned the dog and she was just rude so I told her so. She told me she was canceling my reservation. Luckily there had been a cancellation at Beacon Hill Campground in Intercourse (over 16) which has been wonderful and the owners are so nice! jo

Ah yes, that would be Bonnie. She and her husband Bob are the owners. Bob is okay but you should check out some of the comments about her on rvparkreviews.com. She is a piece of work. All she does is harass the patrons. Stupid stuff like I had to picking up your mats at night because they didn’t want them on the grass. I had a dog pen for our four month old Papillon and I was told it wasn't allowed. I had a tether tied around the base of a tree. She took it off the tree threw it on the ground in front of me and told me not to tie things to her tree. I put up with everything including the electric problem but when you start touching my stuff that’s it. We packed in an hour and pulled out at 8pm. We have been camping at Country Haven for eleven years but it just isn't the same. The old owners Joel and Roz Bieler were the nicest people. Country Haven may have a great view but it isn’t worth putting up with her crap. Thanks for the tip on Beacon Hill maybe we’ll give that a try next year.

Ouch. We were going to stay there for a few days this fall. I wonder what days Bonnie takes her meds.I can tell by the last few posts she is not a people person.
