Birchview Farm Campgrounds — Hotel in West Caln Township

Visited here mid August 2018, with a 42’ fifth wheel, and was in Site D11, a 50/30/20amp FHU perpendicular back-in site about 60’ long. The campground consists of about 195 sites, of those there’s 16 sites in the D area (transit area) that are 50/30/20amp FHU. Those 16 have packed gravel pads, shaded areas, grass between sites w/fire rings and picnic tables and graveled interior roads that are easy to navigate even with big rigs like our fifth wheel. A large majority of the campground is seasonal/long term tenants with most of the transit tenants limited to the D area. The campground does offer a clubhouse, swimming pool, pavilion, playground area, basketball and volleyball courts, horseshoes, park like area, laundry/restroom/shower facilities, planned activities and LP refill service.||AT&T cellular service was acceptable (4G/LTE) as was the OTA television reception. ||Pros and Cons (In my opinion)|- Quite and clean.|- Acceptably distance to downtown Philadelphia, Valley Forge and Lancaster|- Our first con came at check-in. The posted check-in time is after 2 pm, however, after 5 pm there’s a $20 charge when the office closes. We usually try and time our arrivals accordingly. We arrived about 4 pm just in time to catch the young lady (Liz) working the office, as she decided she was going to leave early that day because as she said she thought she didn’t have anyone coming in. Funny, since we had a reservation that was clearly easy for her to find in their computer. In addition, we felt she was rude and that she acted as if we were inconveniencing her. I should have taken the hint when I made the reservation over the phone because she (Liz) was rude at that time as well.|- We experienced heavy rains during our 10 day stay and I can tell you that site 304 could use a little more gravel on the pad but all things considered it was real bad. |- The narrow roads (ie. Creamery Rd, Martins Corner Rd, N Bonsall Rd) and with many low hanging branches was like an obstacle course challenge, a gauntlet of sorts.|- It’s not at all close to really anything as far as services go. There’s a pizza place about 2 miles, a fuel/convenience store and 5 miles and a Walmart about 20 minutes away.|- Utility connections are located near the back of the sites in “D” so best to plan accordingly, we had to use near every bit of our...

Our family really enjoyed Birchview. We stayed a couple nights in a tent and found the campground to be a welcoming community of long term residents/campers. They have a very nicely maintained pool connected to the office. There is a small one foot deep pool for toddlers and a larger 3-5ft deep pool. Neither seemed to be heated, but that was no issue as the cool water felt great on a hot summer day.

They also have a fishing pond near the office stocked with your usual catch and release fish. There are two playgrounds; an older, larger one with metal jungle gym equipment and a newer, smaller one with nice modern equipment. I don't believe I ever engaged with any employees directly due to the remote check in, but everyone around the campground was very friendly. There were some construction workers staying at campground, but we never had any issues with them. Everyone was very respectful of the rules to include the 5 mph speed limit on the campground roads and the 10:00 p.m. quiet hour. They even have social events at the campground which are listed on their website and through an app.

Since the campground seems to tailor more towards extended stay RVs and campers, the restroom shower facilities are smaller and limited. The central restroom facility only has one shower. I was also a little disappointed that the store was closed before the posted hours and not open when we arrived so we couldn't learn more about the campground and make some last minute purchases.

All in all we enjoyed our visit and would...
