Paradise Stream was a fun relaxing camping trip with friends and family…read more This was our first visit and we were impressed. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The campground is large and organized into different sections/site types including cabins and glamping tents. There are sites overlooking the lake and ones that are more secluded. Our site was in the 200 block and very level. It took no time at all to get the camper set up for the weekend. Water pressure was good and steady power. WI-FI was also average for a campground. If you enjoy a campfire and plan on staying a few days spring for the "cage" of firewood/weekender. It is a large metal cage of firewood they deliver to your site for only $50. That may seem like a lot, but with single bundles costing between $7-$10 at most places this is a deal. We had a steady campfire going for 3 nights/days and still had wood left. There are amenities for kids and adults from the pools, lakes, and activities to the wine shed and music. Everyone can find something to do that they would enjoy. There is a well-stocked general store and ice cream shop!

This was our third year at Paradise Stream. As with past years we enjoyed our stay! One plus is…read morethat the past two years we had a different spot than the first year that we absolutely LOVE - already booked for next year! The campground is clean and the staff are very friendly. The owners are top notch. The camp store does not disappoint. They have everything you can imagine, and the salted caramel iced coffee is a MUST! Plenty of activities for everyone. The shuffle board and pickle ball areas have been updated for this year, and all the other areas are still in great shape - pool, game room, gaga ball, etc. Spending time riding around the campground in a golf cart is a must if you want to see everything. The views from the top near the lake are spectacular! Glad we made this one of our summer 'homes!' It does not disappoint!!

The main attractions, though, are easy access to the gorgeous Juniata River, the beautiful dark night sky and the trains. This is a perfect place for a family reunion, or a church youth or scout troop. The icing on this very sweet spot was the fire circle surrounded by swings, with twinkle lights overhead. We can't recommend this place highly enough.

If you've never been to Big Spring State Park, you're seriously missing out on one of…read morePennsylvania's best-kept little secrets. It's tucked into the side of Conococheague Mountain and surrounded by Tuscarora State Forest -- which makes it quiet. Like, so freaking quiet. The kind of quiet where you can actually hear your own thoughts... or question all your life choices while admiring the trees. I went early on a chilly October Saturday morning to hike the Tunnel Trail and see the abandoned train tunnel. The park lists it as "more difficult hiking," but I have questions. Because this out-of-shape, 40-year-old woman -- hiking solo in Hey Dudes, mind you -- handled it just fine. A few big rocks to navigate and one short, steep-ish climb near the end, but nothing that required an oxygen tank or a pep talk. The tunnel itself is super cool and loaded with history. The Newport and Shermans Valley Railroad started digging it in 1894, got about 10% done, and then apparently said "nah, we're good." You can peek inside and see where it abruptly ends about 100 feet in. There's a little fence, but no "keep out" signs. I didn't go in, though, because there was what looked suspiciously like fresh animal blood leading into the darkness and I wasn't looking to become part of the food chain that day. I admired from a safe distance and called that a win. The rest of the park is small but really charming. Picnic tables, a few pavilions, and even what looks like an old stone fireplace near the bathrooms. Speaking of bathrooms -- we need to talk about those. They're not your average grimy state park port-a-potties. These were fancy port-a-johns. Clean, surprisingly non-stinky, and fully stocked with toilet paper. I almost shed a tear of joy. The roads leading in are in great shape (even the unpaved parts), the trails are well-marked, and there's just enough cell service to make a call if you need to -- which is nice when you're adventuring solo. All in all, Big Spring State Park might be tiny, but it packs in a ton of history, scenery, and peace. It's the perfect low-key spot for an easy hike, a quiet picnic, or just to clear your head for a few hours. Highly recommend it!

If you order tickets online, you will save about $5 per ticket. Just be sure to stop at the Guest Services window to get your wrist band. Lockers are all day and come in 3 sizes. The large was big enough to get everything we wanted to get in and more. The park, like a lot of places, is cashless. So remember to go in prepared for that.

The playground at this park is probably one of the best constructed in all of Central Pennsylvania, and is well kept. Morrisons Cove Memorial Park also offers a bowling alley, a skating rink, a town swimming pool (also really nice), and a library. The park has some beautiful large tree's spread all through it. Community Parks as nice as this are hard to come by, and it's great to see some communities like Martinsburg with such great green spaces! I highly recommend checking this little park out for a picnic, or some time at the playground.

For being as early season as it was and after talking with the owner and finding out the shape that it had been in, this course was a nice find. The fairways and greens were in decent shape (again for being early season). The carts were really great. Even though it was cold (around 38) it was nice and warm around the course because the sun comes into the valley perfectly. My wife and I will be back to the are and I will make a point to come back here again.

Pool has a diving biard and there's a small splash pad for the little ones. There's one shower in the bathroom with no door or curtain and no hot water, so unfortunately, we couldn't shower. The bathroom stalls are HUGE! Great for parents having multiple children with them and/or for getting dressed. They also have a dressing area with a curtain, again, very big. They don't take credit cards. They really do need to better coordinate their food service. They offer snacks like chips, popsicles and candy. They also have pizza, hot dogs, mozzarella sticks and chicken nuggets. We waited about an hour for a hot dog.....yes, a hot dog. They said they were backed up but, my goodness. They have to streamline, restrategize, etc., or just not even offer hot food.
