I had previously mentioned that there is a campground that is very difficult to get into because people get a campsite and reserve it over and over every year.

That campground is Knoebel's Campground next to Knoebel's Amusement Park in PA.

I tried to reserve last year and was told that there wasn't one open site, even for the middle of the week, from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

Well, this year I mailed my letter in after the first of the year, and asked to get a campsite if one of the "regulars" didn't renew this year.

Well, I just got the letter yesterday and we got a site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:yippie: For a weekend even!!!!!!!

I am so excited!

HEHEHEHEHEHE Well... I am a HAPPY camper... not the HAPPIEST camper... YET. It is 5 degrees outside. When spring gets here I will give you a run for your money. k?

Good news! You cannot ask for a better way to start off the camping year. You camped here before, or will it be the first time? Must be a pretty good campground if its booked that often.

This will be my first time at this campground, but second year on the waiting list.

Here is a link:

If you download the pdf map, I got a site on the "Rhode Island" loop. Close to the pool, close to the bath house, not too far from the camp store. :way-to-go:

I guess good things come to people who wait!!!!

It is difficult to get a site for a couple reasons:

1. It is literally AT the amusement park. You park your car at your site and don't have to move it to get to and from the park.
2. They have a policy of letting campers hold the same campsite year after year, so they only way you get a campsite is if someone else who camps in the site doesn't renew it.


It is about 3 hours from home, so that makes me a little uneasy... but the kids are getting older so maybe we can venture out a little!:help:

I didn't look at them all - but found it ironic that Rhode Island is larger than California, SC, NC, ...

 

[kiteri]

VERY good point. NC only has a tiny little spot... that should have been Rhode Island huh? :rotflmao1: Did you notice the random DC sites in there? Like DC can't get it's own loop because it isn't a state!!!!

Oh... and in the Bermuda loop... some of the sites are initialled BT for Bermuda Triangle!!!!!

That must be where they put your rented pop up at Disney

That place looks AWESOME, can you please report back and let us know how it was.

I am gonna put this place onto our Vacataion Radar for 2010.

Thanks
