Waterside Campground & RV Park

Was in a mild panic in that it was March and I had not booked a site for our Memorial Day camping excursion. I took a chance, called and got ahold of Kelly (who is awesome by the way). She put me at ease when she said that her tent sites were still available! I immediately booked 3 sites.
Fast forward to arrival 5÷22÷15. As you can see, the tent sites are across the canal from the hustle, bustle, dust and noise of the RV’ers (no offense intended) in what is truly a grove. The space is very large and, because sunlight can still get through the trees, the ground is covered with… wait for it… grass! Not your standard Rv hook up site that doubles as a tent site with a gravel plot. The grove was large, we could put our tents just about anywhere, could move the fire ring around to get a different vantage, etc. So, all that to say that the tent site grove is awesome.
Bath house:
One should always come with low expectations esp on Mem Day weekend. As with the tent grove, I was very pleasantly surprised. There is a hard, plastic, grid type array on the floor so no walking on the tile (for those who forget flip flops this is very well received).
Coin operated showers? Yes and I love the idea! First, it helps defray some cost and, at .25 per 12 – 15 minutes, c’mon, stop your griping. Second, it moves the stragglers along.
The Mem Day community at W’side was generally very quiet. We did not have 1 instance of late night craziness.
The town has a DQ which was a great distraction.
We took advantage of the proximity to PSU, visited and went to the Creamery.
See their website for the other things to do in and outside the grounds.
Be warned… the railroad does run right along the northern part above the tent grove and, it is close. You will believe the train is coming right at you. But once you get used to this it becomes white noise.
5 Stars!
We’ll be back.
