Indoors is 2 sets of bunk beds, a small table with three stools, some hooks, a dresser, and an AC. First impression it was pretty clean and simple. When looking on the top bunk between the mattress and the wall it got a little gross however. Mattresses were okay, not the comfiest but good enough. The AC was a life saver with keeping it cool. The bath house is conveniently located near the cabins. This also was pretty clean. The exterior curtain where you change is not quite wide enough to give full coverage though. Shower water gets hot and the water pressure is decent enough. The staff were friendly and the other campers seemed nice as well. Will definitely be staying here again!

While I won't stay here again my daughter recently relocated from Texas to PA and wanted an…read moreaffordable place to stay until she got settled. Pinch Pond was the closest campground to our house and she thought it would be a good fit. She only made reservations a day in advance for a week's stay and I was glad they were able to accommodate her as she paid cash and they held the reservation without payment. They also recommended a cheaper option, their sister campground at Mt Gretna which was $250/week but wasn't able to accommodate our size camper. When we inquired about a month's stay were told the fee was $800 and an application/approval would be required however they were booked for that length of stay. This campground is open year round and apparently busy year round. The woman checking her in was very thorough in her explanation of the policies, a little winded perhaps but I learned things I didn't know before and I was only there two weeks ago. A week's stay on a no frills rv site was $300, taxes included. She used our rv so we had to set it up and will need to tear it down at the end of stay. Given that that's an unusual situation and they require gate passes I expected it to be a problem. I was pleasantly surprised it was a non issue. I was even provided my own gate pass. The sites are not clearly marked and hubby got very annoyed when we found ourselves meandering through narrow pathways with a 28' camper in tow. Ultimately we had to call the office and ask for an escort as we were clearly lost within the campground. She knew going in that the constant boom of gunshots would surround her but didn't expect it to disturb her young son as much as it did. With every boom on the first day he held his ears and screamed for them to stop. They've now stayed two nights and it's still disturbing to him. My daughter's biggest complaint thus far is the amount of spotted lantern flies and that they even find their way inside. Both very valid concerns.

I visited the First National Bank Museum this past Saturday and had a great visit. The building is…read morelarge and historic - and it served as other things before the two front corner rooms became the First National Bank of Columbia in 1864. The bank rooms have been preserved, and you can see the walnut paying and receiving teller cages, the walk-in vault, and many tools used by employees of the bank. It was really cool to see and explore the bank. I learned about the history of the building, the bank, and Columbia through my guided tour of the museum. But what made my time at First National Bank Museum extra special was Nora. If you want to take a tour, you go to their website and send them an email requesting a tour. Nora is who will email you back to arrange a time for your tour. And she's great. Nora's parents bought the building when it was for sale back in the 1950s. Her parents knew that it was very likely the building would be torn down and the building lost to history, and so they took it on themselves to protect it. Nora grew up in the house (only the front two rooms served as the bank, but the rest of the building was a house or hotel at various times), and now she and her husband operate the museum and are continually taking care of restoring different parts of the building (right now, they're working on restoring the front doors). This personal story of a family's dedication to preserving history and sharing it with visitors to and residents of Columbia really moved me. Not only is Nora a very personable and knowledgeable guide around the small museum, the museum is her family's history and that makes it an incredibly personal tour. If you're in Columbia, I recommend trying to include a visit to the First National Bank Museum. It's a great way to learn about and explore Columbia and its history. And you'll get to spend some time with the lovely Nora!

We drafted up a contract and drove the vehicle over five hours to drop off, when we arrived we were not even greeted.

He then tried to lie about laws to guilt/ scare us into completing the deal. What is interesting is he touts himself as a veteran and wanted nothing more than to take advantage of another veteran. I would recommend not conducting business with this shady man.

I just spent a few minutes here, enjoying the views, but I have been happy to read my book on a bench with those views if I hadn't had such a packed itinerary for my time in Columbia!

There is one boat launcher and 2 docked paddle boat access points, including one which is wheelchair accessible.  And I should count also the one undocked access point right under the bridge. The center marks the southern end of the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail, currently my favorite trail.  The one negative I should point out is that it can be confusing to get to the trailhead.  There is an overflow parking area and restricted access road that can potentially mislead. The key is to go across the traffic light to where the murals are and head left until the Y intersection where you'd have to cross twice in order to get to the trail.  Aside from that, this place is perfectly situated and planned out.

It remains the worst accident in US commercial nuclear power plant history. The historical marker reads, "On March 28, 1979, and for several days thereafter -- as a result of technical malfunctions and human error -- Three Mile Island's Unit 2 Nuclear Generating Station was the scene of the nation's worst commercial nuclear accident. Radiation was released, a part of the nuclear core was damaged, and thousands of residents evacuated the area. Events here would cause basic changes throughout the world's nuclear power industry." The marker was erected in 1999 by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. You do not need to enter the secure area to see the marker or the cooling towers. There is parking.
