Waterside Campground on the Juniata River

Camping riverside is so relaxing not to mention the beautiful view as soon as you look out the door.  Waterside Campground did not disappoint.  The campsite was landscaped with hostas and ferns.  A short walk down the hill and we could get right into the Juniata River, float for approximately 40 minutes depending on the current and wind, and arrive at the end of the campground.  We thought we would have to walk all the way back to the campsite, but the campground caretaker was kind enough to offer all four of us a ride on his golf cart.  Everyone was extremely friendly and the grounds we well taken care of.  There are riverside sites as well as some set back a short distance.  While many of the lower campsites are seasonal sites there are plenty of sites available to people like us that take our trailer from campground to campground.  There were many activities for younger children during the day to the theme of "Oldies Weekend".  The Elvis impersonation was not widely attended, however the 50 cent hot dog, fries, and root beer float dinner was so full they ran out of food.  The DJ that played Saturday night was really good and we loved watching the people dancing.  We were only there from Friday evening to Sunday morning and were sad to leave.  We highly recommend Waterside Campground and look forward to going back next year for a longer stay.

Tip:  Try a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup on your s'more instead of chocolate.  Just not for people that are allergic to chocolate or peanuts!




The view from the camper was absolutely amazing!
