Happy Acres Resort

So my family and I just got back from spending a 3 day weekend at this resort I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to relax and just enjoy nature. The cabins are clean and have everything you need, bed mattresses could be updated i can sleep on a rock but my family said they were not comfortable. We stayed at the hilltop and found it to be overall very good for what we needed. The pool was always empty we didn’t really feel any of the other guests we almost felt like the whole resort was just for us. There isnt much to do on the resort there is a state park next to it where you can bath in a lil beach area I only saw about 3 people there dont know why everything seemed so underpopulated but coming from NYC we were fine with that.
The biggest con I found is the fact that although they say theres wifi I didnt get any connection during all my stay. =(otherwise I may have even stayed longer but because of work I needed to be in comunication.

Rented a cabin here for a week. We had a good time and its a nice place. Its a little $$$ for a cabin in my opinion, about the same price to rent a nice place on the beach. Would come back though.

My husband and I went camping here last month and had a nice experience. We were there Tuesday-​Friday, so the campground wasn’t packed, but there will still plenty of people around, and yet it felt very peaceful. When I called to make the reservation a day or two before, I asked if they had a «couples-​only» area, and the woman said that they didn’t but would place us in an area that didn’t have any other campers, so that was great. When we showed up we ended up moving a couple sites down to have more shade, and the office was fine with it.
If you check out their map on their website, we were placed in the camping circle next to the chapel on Acorn Drive. It’s a clearing so there’s no privacy between each of those campsites, but there is some from the road and nearby cabins. Since it was just us that was fine, and it was shady on one side (hence the move). We drive through the camp area on Pine ridge drive and Acorn Drive (behind Owl’s Nest), and those sites had a little more privacy and plenty of shade. Boone Run Road is the main entrance, and those campsites were shady but very open and I would imagine a little noisy with any cars coming in.
The grounds were well-​maintained, and the noise curfew seemed to work (plenty of kids around but I slept well!). My only complaints would be that there weren’t recycling containers around, and that the showers had you pay across the room and just guess as to how long you’d take — I’ve used pay showers before that you can just keep feeding the machine as needed because it’s in the stall with you.
The campground said that they have a Verizon tower but with AT&T we didn’t get any service until 20 minutes down the road (which was fine by me!). they do have an internet café though in case you need access. The office and general store has just about anything you’d forget to bring, including ice cream, but you can find firewood for sale along the roads for cheaper and without the plastic wrap.
Other local information:
* There’s very little in vegetarian dining options nearby, and actually the best food we had was at the Happy Acres Restaurant (great local beer selection!)
* Little Pine state park is about a 10 minute drive up the road, with a swimming hole and kayak rentals. Lake Shore Trail was a nice easy flat trail with gorgeous views, eagle spotting, and creek access. We swung through their campground and were happy were were at Happy Acres, mostly RVs at the park.
* Golden Eagle trail is about a 30 minute drive from happy acres: beautiful views, more eagle spotting, and a nice shady forest hike. We did not see another person during the whole 5.5 hour hike, nice and deserted, and the parking lot is also a canoe launch so very nice to cool off tired feet :)
* The bike trail is not paved! Our road bikes went unused, but it was nice for flat walks along the beautiful river, bring mountain/​cruiser bikes if you’d like to use it
* Wellsboro is a quaint little town about 45 minutes north with antique and other small shops, and the Wellsboro Diner which was great and super friendly. A nice break from hiking all day.
* Apparently to buy a six-​pack of beer you just get it from any local bar, we didn’t see any liquor stores around (Happy Acres allows drinking in moderation).

We stayed in the Dun’ Rov’n cabin at Happy Acres Resort for the weekend. The cabin had 5 bedrooms and 1 full bath as well as a nice front porch, campfire site, and full kitchen. The cabin was nice and clean when we arrived, however I do feel it could use some serious updating! The kitchen appliances were so old they posed a fire hazard, and their were magazines on our table from the year 2000! I do realize that it is camping, but a bit of updating is never a bad thing. There was a television, but it would have been nice to have a VCR or DVD player to put movies on for the kids. Also, the beds were horrible! I sat down on my daughter’s bed to give her a kiss goodnight and the whole leg of the bed folded up under us!
We did have a chance to order food from the restaurant which was pretty good, and you must have the Perry’s ice cream. It was delicious! All and all, it was a nice weekend with the kids away from home. If you are expecting an enjoyable camping experience, Happy Acres delivers just that with no frills :)
