Reviews
"Fun experience, on a Jeep run, loaded 11 Jeeps on the fairy!!!"
"Great park, friendly helpful staff. Some wildlife, but being "overrun" by raccoons seems highly exaggerated. We were there for 10 days and didn't see a single one. We will return!!"
"This again was the best vacation ever. Last year was our first time. They remembered us this year and even encouraged us to venture out further...perhaps not in the same training area, like last time :) We took their advice and went to the cove, our new love. I emphatically recommend anyone who is looking for an all inclusive (you bring everything you want and need) camping on the water adventure!"
"There are walking trails there. So wear some shoes you don't mind getting dusty or dirty. Beautiful day and beautiful scenic views."
"This is a pretty big area so I'm not sure how accurate this review will be for wherever you are going. We enjoyed this area from the Wyalusing State Park boat launch and we kayaked on the canoe trail to the Mississippi River. Absolutely beautiful scenery. Lots of wildlife, different kinds of birds. Very peaceful and serene. On the canoe trail there are no motorized boats allowed."
