Beachcomber Campground Inc
Aug 16, 2009 by visitor from pa

Overall Rating: 2

• Playgrounds for kids, pools clean, nice beach and lake.
• Rude and unhelpful staff, charges for everything, too crowded, not enough space per site.

“Beachcomber presents itself as a camping resort. A resort it is not! more like an overcrowded parking lot with a few trees. It may have been nice a few years ago, but it is now way over-crowded. There is barely enough space for a trailer + 1 car, the cabins look dingy and also have not much space. This campground seems to favor those who have permanent sites, as those seem much more spacious and in better locations. My husband, 11-month old baby and I visited a family at Beachcomber. We were charged $8 per person (including baby), plus $8 for the car - and we were only staying a few hours! When asked about the baby charge, the rude response was "it creates waste". My husband then needed to use the restroom, and was told he would have to pay a pavilion use charge. All around the registration office were signs about additional charges for usage of various facilities. When we got to our friends' site, it was barely larger than a parking lot, and we could hear conversations from inside the next site's camper. There were tons of kids on golf carts zooming around, and because the roads are dirt and stone, each cart that went by made a lot of noise and kicked up dust. Overall I would not recommend this place as any type of vacation. If you're looking to be backed like sardines, pay extra charges for everything you do, use dirty bathrooms, and have lots of noise around you - this is the place for you. Otherwise stay away! Our friends have already stated they are not coming back, as they have experienced rude service and staff, their facilities are dirty and unkempt, and they feel too crowded with the other people there.”

Jellybean Jungle
Aug 6, 2009 by HMJ from Haddon Heights, NJ

Overall Rating: 3

• Kids had tons of fun.
• Sick three days later, place looked like it could really use a refurb.

“I had my son's 1st birthday party here. The kids had a good time while we were there, but 3 days later, half of the children, (and me!) were violently sick! The kids did have a lot of fun, and the staff was friendly and accommodating, but the place was filthy. The equipment was worn and had rips and tears. Most of the paint on the carousel was worn away. And many of the balls in the ball pit were visibly dirty. Despite their claim of cleanliness, none of the children or adults was asked to remove their shoes and so all the toddlers falling on the floor were rolling over whatever germs had been tracked in. They did mop the floors afterwards, but they should've been spraying/wiping down equipment as the kids played - like they do at Chuckie Cheese. One parent said this was the 2nd time her kids got sick after leaving here! 2 for 2! It should be called the Germy Jungle!”

Greater Cape May Historic Society Inc
Jul 13, 2009 by Patricia from Schuylkill Haven PA

Overall Rating: 2

• Pool.
• Swamp, and lack of security.

“Lake Laurie was the most disappointing campground we experienced. No security, tall grass on our campsite, that we had to beg to be cut and then they were going to charge us 25.00 till we told them we were not a permanent site. Swamp like grounds all around us, bitten by many insects, we had to be pumped out daily for sewerage at a daily charge. The pool was nice but again very unsupervised. Alcohol was being consumed at the pool openly. Grounds has a great opportunity to be a classy campground if owners would pay attention. We hope to see great changes in the future for this unique part of Cape May, please!”

• Beautiful, detailed, fun, entertaining, great for a cold or rainy day.
• Nothing- we had an awesome time.

“WOW! This place was amazing. My husband and I took our almost 2 year old daughter and it held her attention. The train display was huge, detailed, and wonderful. I personally loved the amusement park scene, while my husband liked the castle. My daughter had a difficult time leaving the dolls and the farm scene.”

• Sound, venue, customer service and bathroom.

“Went to a show there in June and it was a horrible venue. Its by far the worst venue in town, don't believe me? Go there and try it! Good luck getting to the bathroom room without having to wait 20-30 minutes in line! That goes for you bar folks too!”

Northlandz, Inc
Nov 30, 2008 by Katie from Doylestown, PA

Overall Rating: 8

• One year old twins loved appearing/disappearing trains.
• A bit freaky and dusty.

“Very unusual exhibit. You'd think you'd entered your freakish uncle's hobby room, only it's 100x bigger. Fun, day trip. Great for a rainy day. Perfect for little kids. Our one year old twins adored seeing the trains appear/disappear through the mountains. Room after room after passageway of model trains. Other eclectic exhibits thrown in (cabbage patch, beanie babies, star wars) for no reason. It's so odd, it's awesome. Wheelchair and stroller accessible, but no views from the stroller height. Your kids won't stay in them anyway - skip the stroller and bring a baby bjorn or snugli.”

Panther Lake Campground

• Good ground.
• Terrible management.

“I have seasonal site. This is my big mistake. My neighbors create a noise 24 hours a day. Drinking, yelling, talking loud and playing loud music even from 11pm to 4am in the morning, it is normal for this place. The manager does not want to do anything about it. I do not wish anybody stay at this camp seasonally.”

Brunswick Fairlawn Lanes

Overall Rating: 8

• Convenient and a friendly environment.
• Equipment problems, a lot.

“I have been bowling there for years and find the equipment an issue on many nights. Most of the employees are pleasant and helpful. They do seem stressed a lot but then when you're dealing with 30 teams six nights a week and then open bowlers who don't understand there aren't open lanes available I can understand why they don't come across as being friendly.”

“I stop at parkway lanes for the what first time in 5 years what a turn around. The center was never this clean and active. ESPN will be there in March 09 for the womens NCAA national bowling tourment great job. Also lets wish the FDU women's bowling team for a out standing job they have done and also not forget Mike L. this coach is one of the best in the country. I wish the FDU bowling team a great season for now and the fortune.”

• Oil on the lanes; clean bathrooms.
• The people working there. They are the worst customer service people I have encountered in my life.

“I love the fact they put a lot of oil on the lanes so you can actually bowl with the new equipment. How is it possible to have all sourpusses working there. They are the most unfriendly group of people.”

Panther Lake Campground
Aug 17, 2008 by Megan from Brooklyn

Overall Rating: 2

• Pretty lake.
• Horrible, disgruntled management.

“The grounds were nice, but the management was horrible. We were absolutely harassed by them. We were scheduled to check out on Sunday at 10:00 am, and at 10:15 am, the manager drove up in his truck to tell us that we were supposed to check out at 10:00. He was very nasty and disgruntled. It was obvious that we were packing up our car and getting ready to leave. Also, no one else was waiting for the site. It was a Sunday morning. After we checked out, we were allowed to remain on the grounds until 2:00 pm. Mind you, this was not an inexpensive camp ground. As we were saying goodbye at the exit (about 2:30) a woman started yelling at us to put our dog on a leash. However, the dog was, and had always been on the leash (no apology). Then, as we were hugging goodbye, she came over and told us that we had to vacate the grounds immediately. Can you imagine! We did not get to say a proper goodbye to our family who we will not see for quite some time. Don't spend your money at Panther Lake. There were not many campers there, and now we know why. Next summer we will go somewhere else. Happy camping!”

• World's Largest, do you need to say more?
• Not enough people know about it!

“Our family has been going for years. You have to look at the big picture not the specs of dust (and there are many). We were in last week, and things seem to be turning around. The glass was being cleaned and the displays were getting fixed. The shame is visitors are destroying the scenery and buildings, plus all the pocket change thrown on the tracks. A handyman was cleaning up when we were there and had over five dollars in pennies and other change he just collected in one spot. I think the tide has changed and future visits will yield a better attraction. Don't write them off, you will be surprised when it gets back to normal. Little kids and seniors have the best time. You should too.”

• Nothing positive.
• Everything negative.

“Bathrooms and showers are horrible. We actually would not even use the showers and hesitated to use the bathrooms. We found nothing enjoyable about staying at this campground. It simply is a place to park your camper and sleep. During the day we had to leave because it was loud and you really could not sit outside and have privacy because your neighbor was right there that's how close you are.”

Hidden Acres Campground Inc
Aug 3, 2008 by Louis from Ottawa

Overall Rating: 1

• Quiet, nice campground sites.
• Dirty, in ruins, feels dead, getting to be an eye-sore if not looked after in the near future.

“What a deception! This is the campground that my parents (who were the very first Canadian customers/campers at hotel back in the late 50's or very early 60's) used to take my sister and for at least two weeks every summer. I have wonderful memories (and also some 8 mm film) of my times spent there as a child and then later as a teenager and young adult. Now that I have children of my own I wanted to share with them the same experience that I had when I used to go there. It was quite sad to see the state of the facilities. I heard that there was a change of management about 4 years ago (today being August 3rd 2008) and it seems to me that the pride of ownership has left with the original owners. The bathrooms and showers were beyond dirty, the plumbing was not working properly or at all and two of the three toilet seats in the ladies room were gone. The showers were equally horrible and unclean. The bathrooms/showers were not cleaned or the garbage can emptied in the bathrooms for the 5 days that we spent there. It was a sad sight to see especially since I remembered what hidden acres used to look like. I felt embarrassed in front of my children and my girlfriend and her son for having brought them there. It is no wonder the campground was almost deserted. If they do not do some major improvements soon I cannot see how this place could survive more than a couple more years.”

“My wife and I are originally from Philadelphia. Her family owned a place on Davis Ave and rented out rooms during the summer months from the 1950's into the early 1980's. She knows Wildwood better than any place we have ever lived in. Recently we visited Wildwood 2008. Many things have changed, but much is still the same. During out visit we spent time at the Historical Society. It was a fantastic visit and brought back many memories. We were even able to get a picture of the old place on Davis Ave. A Family heirloom. Thanks to the all the people in the Museum that day. We will definitely be back. Just one question. What happened to the coast line? When we were kids, the ocean used to come up under the amusement piers now it is difficult to see it from the board walk.”

Snack bar always closed - dirty. League play is a joke. Scores are low. No management. Surprised health department doesn't close them down. Leaks in ceiling.”

• I had a good time with our friends.
• All the staff was extremely rude and unprofessional.

“I went to this bowling alley with a group of friends to celebrate my defiance's 30th birthday. I have to say the staff was rude to me and all of my friends. When we thanked them for anything there was never a reply. They confused prices, and times. They actually charged one of the children who wanted to "bowl" (the child was 3yrs old so they would once in a while roll the ball with her dad). They would not accommodate any of my requests on the day of the birthday although they had promised me they would prior to that day. The bartender was nasty to anyone who went to buy drinks. The snack bar staff was rude when I tried to order food, and the actual woman who was working the front desk was the nastiest of all. I have to say I would not recommend this place to anyone. There is a decent place in Wood bridge, another place in Linden, and I was never treated poorly in any of those establishments. I had a good time with my friends regardless of the horrible staff in this bowling alley. I actually felt bad that I invited people here for them to be treated so poorly. Live and Learn I guess. Do yourself a favor go somewhere else!”

• Pretty much nothing was positive.
• I did not like the so-called manager/bartender, the service, the dirty place and they don't even clean the bowling shoes right.

“This is the worst place I've ever visited in my entire life. The bartender who claims to be the manager is a rude, obnoxious, non professional animal. He was so rude to me and my family who were visiting for the first and last time the bowling alley. The place itself is disgusting and they don't even clean the shoes right plus the TV. Which tells the scores and the machine that brings down the pins don't function right. The only nice person who was being harassed by the stupid bartender was the young lady at the cash register. I think he should be fired and the whole place should be cleaned up. I wouldn't recommend anyone to visit this place for as long as that man is there. He is a short, white middle age grumpy man, with a bold spot. He doesn't deserve to work there he should try working at the zoo with more of his kind.”

• Knowledgeable curator.
• Short hours.

“Perfect place for anyone with fond memories of how Wildwood used to be. Grab a chair and any of the large looseleaf binders of old photos and newspaper clippings and be prepared to have a wonderful trip down memory lane. This tiny museum is packed with good stuff - old photos of the famous night clubs where many Rock 'n Roll greats got their start - Chubby Checker, Bill Haley and the Comets, etc. Historical photos of the many changes in Wildwood's famous boardwalk and amusement piers over the years, memorabilia from grand old hotels that were built in 1910 to 1920's and DooWop motels built in the 1950's that are no more. The history of the Wildwoods goes back more than 100 years. Fascinating little island. Home to one of the first raceways in the country - Henry Ford was there! The museum curator, Mr. Bright, is extremely knowledge; he is from one of early Wildwood families. He was born and raised in Wildwood and can remember when the trolleys and trains were the primary means of transportation. This little museum is a gem. Leave a generous donation - they are operating on a shoe string and are only open for a limited number of hours - mostly mornings. ”
