I'm around 20min from that campground. What are your interests?

If your into parks I would check out Knobels. Much better scenery and better food.

Theres a Cabelas store over in Hamburg.(45min-hour) They have a bunch of big aquariums and some small indoor ponds with trout that you can feed. Kids really seem to enjoy looking at the fish. I don't have kids so I can't think of a lot of places off hand. Theres a Chucky Cheese in Lancaster off of 30 if you enjoy a good headache.

I almost forgot about these. I've been to the 2 caverns below as well as Penns cave out west further. Went to indian echo years ago when I was school yet, for a school trip. Bought some dirt and panned for gems, one of those guarenteed bags of dirt. Was a nice place and good for the whole family really. Penns was awesome because you rode through the cave in a boat but that a big drive.

You know some of the hobby shops around here just might have a Honcho.

i just got back home 1 in the morning after a long week. first off, i only seen one wawa that was next to the tanger outlets, theirs like 1 million turkey hill places though which we dont have in NJ. it was a good trip overall, i found it was weird how nice everyone is, NJ is the opposite. also i asked someone for a glass of "wooder" and shes like "dont you mean "wa-ter"? so yeah, i also learned that people from NJ have an accent as well. we ended up going to dutch wander land but it was small and conjusted. we also took a ride up to my moms cousin who lives in new freedom and went fishing on his lake. we also picked up a bunch of fruit from a farmer with no shoes on the side of the road. im just happy to be back in NJ. its funny, when we were coming home last night i knew we were back in NJ because all the cars drag racing down the parkway
