For a Really Great Family Fishing Weekend. . .
If you have not heard of Splash Magic Campground or had the opportunity to visit there yet, you will be in for a pleasant surprise. The campground in Northumberland, Pennsylvania is located on 46 beautiful acres fronting the Susquehanna River. The facility includes two large swimming pools heated to 86 degrees, a newly constructed splash park, an in-ground hot tub, a covered entertainment complex, an outdoor movie theater, bumper boats, miniature golf, bike rental shop, campground store, snack bar and arts & crafts center. Located throughout the campground are several very clean bathhouses and two laundry facilities. For the camping enthusiast there are over 100 full hook up sites with water, sewer, electric and cable TV as well as an area designated for tent camping. There are also 41 cabins, each with its own heat, A/C, full kitchen, bathroom, TV and outside BBQ grill. Each site or cabin is also equipped with a picnic table and fire ring for outside enjoyment.
The campground slogan, “Where family memories are made,” definitely applies here. There is so much for children to do they will not complain about being bored. Each week is a themed week and includes events such as Pirates of the Susquehanna Week, Christmas in August, Mardi Gras, Las Vegas and Carnival. Each week has a detailed schedule of events from which your children can choose and there are several events per day that keep each child active. One of the highlights is the daily pool games held at 1PM each day when the children take over the adult pool in an organized competition headed by the recreation director. Pool games are a family event and adults are encouraged to get in and play with their children.
If you love to fish and want to have a great family experience, you must register for the Family Fishing Weekend, May 14-16. There are still plenty of trailer, RV or tents sites and some cabins available for this event. Those who register will be able to help stock the large four-acre fishing pond. There will also be several fishing demonstrations by some local experts and a fishing tournament held on Saturday afternoon. Prizes will be awarded for several categories in the tournament. The swimming pool will be open this weekend. Your children will be able to help wake up Splash, Magic and Tubby and ride with our mascots in a tractor-pulled wagon ride around the park. The entire facility is gearing up for a great weekend and will feature an outdoor movie, bingo, Saturday morning ceramics and evening entertainment in our covered pavilion.
