Just back from a 4 night stay at
Buttonwood Campground near Mifflintown, PA. This was our first visit and really wasn't sure what to expect even based on reviews. What we found was a very well staffed and well cared for campground. There was lots of staff making sure trash got picked up through the day, watching over all the various activities. They do not have a lot of staging/checking area so what they do is first escort you to your site upon arrival and then have to go to the store/office to check in. They insist on getting setup and settled and just go before closing, that laid back attitude really helps to set the mood right away.
The campground is situated right along the Juniata River. We had site 343 which was a nice end slot pull through site and maybe 100 yards from the river. I suggest water shoes, there are a lot of rocks and while I have waterproof sandals some of the rocks got between my toes and sandal making enclosed water shoes are better suited and about 16 bucks there if you don't own any. They have an activity band that is 20 bucks per person for the week, and it includes a whole lot. Most of all unlimited tube time, so you can head 2 miles up river and float back to the campground. This was a fun thing and we would raft up a few tubes together and just talk and relax. Also included mini golf, pedal carts, laser tag, and more.
Definitely a great place to take the family. We went with our framily and had a great time together.
So if you are looking for a place to go around these parts, I can recommend this one.
This weekend I am off the to race track solo. Melissa gets some time home alone with the hallmark channel and the girls go see their dad for the first time in 2 weeks due to schedules. I might take a pup, but with the temps forecasted they may get to stay here since its just easier.
