KOA Mercer/Grove City, PA

Another good travel day headed to the KOA campground at Mercer, PA.  We choose this campground because it is 5 miles from my cousin Doug & Patti who live in Volant, PA.  Checked in around 2:30 to our large full hookup pull through site that has 3 sewer connections.  It is family owned with friendly staff,  well maintained treed campground with lots of amenities: pool, basketball, disc golf, clubhouse, Wifi, outdoor/indoor exercise area, volleyball, Booce, geocache hunt, horseshoes, playground, fire rings and laundry.  There are permanents in the campground with maintained lots.  It is close to outlet shopping, restaurants and Amish country.  On the weekends there are Amish bake goods at the camp store and a hayride for young and old a like.  The weather is great right now and the rolling hills are beautiful. I rate this one a 4, only thing keeping it from a 5 is the cost and gravel roads.

After we got setup I called Doug to let him know we were there and our site number.  We set up our chairs around the fire ring watching all the motorcycles go by looking forward to actually getting our bike out and doing some riding with Doug.  Well, in comes this Harley that pulls up to our site and it is Doug!  Yeah, we showed him our setup, had beverages, went to dinner and made plans for Bike night the next evening. There is an Amish man that works at the campground and every morning/evening you hear the clickity clack of horse shoes as he comes and goes, which is pretty cool.  I wonder is he wishes he had the gas powered mower that he was riding all day at home, just saying.
                                            I looked forward to being in one place for 6 days.

  Our site is on the main entrance road allowing us to see all the campers coming and going which we enjoy.
