Pleasant Hills Campground, Hesston PA

There are pros and cons to this place as there are to almost anywhere you go. Negatives - the driveway is very long and bumpy and WAY too many potholes. Definitely needs fixed, water is definitely yellow even with a filter and smells like rust. Believe the other reviews regardless of what they say. Bring bottled water even for your pets. Most sites are all gravel but shady. Would be nice to have grass but I know that's hard with lots of shade. Better gravel than mud I guess. Sites are somewhat tight too but we've been in worse tho.
Pros - pool was nice, kids liked the mini golf, staff was polite, grounds were quiet. Full hookup sites conveniently located near the marina and lake which was our main purpose for coming. Overall it's a decent campground.

Beautiful and peaceful campground! The campground is very clean and the bathhouses are some of the best we’ve ever seen at a campground. The owners and staff were very friendly and welcoming. It is clear they put a lot of time and effort into making the campground a safe and enjoyable place for everyone. We look forward to camping there again.

My husband came here as a child and had found memories. This is the second time our family has enjoyed a stay at Pleasant Hills Campground. We throughly enjoyed our time. Atmosphere was quiet and peaceful. Staff of friendly and helpful. They have a beautiful camp store with any item you could need made for sale. We enjoyed the came room and mini golf with our toddlers. Look forward to coming back next season!

The campground is beautiful and so peaceful. The staff was amazing in our needs. The bath houses are the cleanest and best I've ever seen. The shower and toilet are private. Great idea. I love my privacy. The pool is warm and crystal clear.

Potholes everywhere coming into the campground, water was yellow and smelled like heavy metal and gave my 5 year old a bacterial infection, dogs are not tied up properly at sites and one kept trying to attack me and my young child. This is really just a dog friendly RV park. No quarter machines for laundry which didn't spin my laundry right and after 2 hours my clothes still weren't dried by the dryers. Was told my destroyed laundry due to horrible water was not their responsibility. Accused of hostile behavior when all I did was politely complain about having to travel outside the campground to get quarters because their office was closed. Camp sites are small and not spaced out. Staff was never really around and didn't seem to care when they were. Bathrooms were so dark I slipped on water and now have an injury and it smelled like sewage in there. Do not camp here, horrible experience at UN pleasant hills. Not quiet past hours either. The only beautiful thing there was the pool and the playground as you're not even close to the lake.

Water is yellow, Washers ruin clothes the dryers don’t work they don’t give refunds. My 5 year old son got bacterial infection from the water, Showers, Sinks and Site hookups all use this water. Was a horrible experience and we plan to contact Dept of Health. We left half way through our camping experience never camp here again. Staff were rude had to drive 3 miles for quarters to use laundry machine just to have it ruin all of our clothes. They use roundup pesticides on camp sites which also runs into water table all around this place is unsafe. Only thing nice is the pool and bathrooms had they had clean water been better. Whoever cleans these bathrooms needs a raise. There is no excuse for poor quality of water and it shouldn’t smell like rust. No refunds on anything place only cares about money not your health. The road going into this campground is a half mile long just filled with potholes and speed bumps. The reply to this just shows how unprofessional you really are. Why would I return to unpleasant hills.

Our first time here, and we loved it! It was so peaceful! Many activities nearby and the campground itself have several as well. We will be back next year!

2021- Amazing place. Hoping we can get a seasonal site eventually.

2022- the owners are amazing, they found us a seasonal site. We tried to get into the first site but didn't fit yet they still found us another site which happens to be a brand new location. Very quiet and peaceful. There is nothing better than coming to Pleasant Hill after a tough week of work.

Iron in water is definitely a downfall, even with a filter. The sites are a little tight, but flat. Not a lot of grass for the pups. Campground itself is quiet and friendly. Not bad for a weekend.
