Somewhat out of the box here, if staying close to the campground is a priority might look into bearcreak campground in Bristol ct. Convenient stop over on your way to me.
Campground is very similar to knobels in pa where as you have a all in one amusement park + campground

Lake Compounce:). Going there for a day trip for the first time ever this summer and looking forward to the time.
I was at the park (but not the campground, which I think didn't exist at the time) a few years ago. It's quite nice but not overly huge; Knoebels is a bit bigger I think. You should have a good time. Boulderdash is a very fun roller coaster.
When I was there, assuming I'm getting amusement parks confused in my mind, they delayed the posted closing by one hour in the evening. I don't know if that's a common occurrence, but I certainly wasn't about to complain!
We have done both lake Compounce & Knoebels and have enjoyed both. overall both amusement parks are about equal. knoebels campground is more established whereas 3 year old
Bear Creek campground has little shade because of newly planted trees. That said bear creek has easy pull through camping sites that are super large.
for me I would choose Knoebels hands down every time. No amusement park entrance fee and all rides are pay per ride if you were to choose to. Much more value at knoebels
Of course everything outside of CT has more value...
