I will keep this poll open until Friday, August 11th. Please vote on which llocation you like!!
Once we have all these details, we'll invite any other chapters if you want to. One nice thing about the group areas is that we can fit as many people/cars as we need to. I definetely think that's the way to go. I'm not much for parking my car in some far away parking with hundreds of screaming little bratty kids around :)
Ok, I called both places today and got the information. Our choices are:
Cranberry Run Campground (http://www.poconocamping.com/) in the Poconos - MAP (http://www.poconocamping.com/mapsdirections.htm)
or
Bellefonte/State College KOA (http://www.koakampgrounds.com/tents/) in Bellefonte - MAP (http://maps.google.com/maps?lr=&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF-8&q=2481+Jacksonville+Road+Bellefonte,+PA+16823&om=1&ll=40.961234,-77.684326&spn=1.79819,5.229492)
It's pretty much a toss-up between what they can offer I think. Both places allow pets, alcohol, have decent roads, and will allow us a group area where we can just have a field with one fire pit. We can put our tents wherever, and have our cars parked right there with us.
The group sites at both campgrounds are available today, but could book up tomorrow...We should get one booked soon.
Prices:
State College KOA will give us the group site for $35.00 plus $6.00 to $8.00 per person (probably depending on how many we have).
Cranberry Run offers the group site for any group of people, but there is no additional charge. It's $28.00 per person if you are setting up a tent, $14.00 if you are not. He said that he usually give a little discount for people in a group, but didn't say how much.
Seems like KOA would be cheaper in the long run for everyone.
Vote it up, people!
