Meet the Thomas
family…
We are the Thomas family; Greg and Trich Thomas, Ryan and Jess Thomas along with Lyla, Quinn, Emmitt and Owen. We are sooo excited to be on this Campground adventure! We started this adventure in November of 2021 when we saw the “most beautiful dump” island for sale 10 minutes from our home! The name was coined by one of our first guests who had visited prior to our ownership and had left telling her husband that it was the most beautiful dump. She, along with us, saw the beauty there!! A hidden gem!
We immediately got to work restoring this campground back to its former glory! To see what we have done so far on the island please watch our renovation video recap Here!
Also, you can follow/like our Facebook Page to stay up-to-date on progress!! We are constantly looking for ways to improve the island so that when you come visit it is a wonderful experience! We want you to feel like you’re a guest in our home when you come visit so we view everything we improve from that lens!

History…
Campground Island, formerly known as Conewago Isle Campground and before that Flo-De-On. This campground has a rich history as it was the first campground in York County! Originally built by Floyd Shoemaker in 1966 and named Flo-de-on, was an icon in the area. It was known by its two metal grated bridges and two dams. Unfortunately, after only a few years of ownership, the infamous hurricanes Agnus, then a few years later Frederic, that wiped out a lot of York County completely overran this new campground. Floyd however, must’ve loved this venture and went on to build Pine Hill RV Park and then Cedar Lake Campground and finally selling the island to John Lupse. Conewago Isle Campground was the new name and was another local families adventure that lasted for decades.
