Bob and Lois (our parents) are on site [s]125[/s], 124.

If you are planning to attend this rally Better book this one early, There is only one full service site left at the point, there are however plenty of other electric sites left. Just think it's only 11 months away !!!!

Hello all, I just found the forum through popup explorer and this is my first post. This rally seems like a good time and promised land is only about 2 hrs from me. Do any of you guys/gals have any more info about this weekend?

Thanks

Let me be the first to welcome you to the canvass. So glad you found us.
Having attended five rally's with canvass campers in the last year I can say its a great way go camping met new people many like yourself that enjoy the outdoors and make lots of new friends.
As far as this campground goes I was there with canvasscampers this past spring and all I can say is wow all of the facilities have been upgraded built brand new at pickerel point. The showers, bathrooms and dish washing stations were totally awsome, large and super clean. There are three large amenity buildings on th point itself the campsites are fairly large many are secluded by woods and somewhat level.  The area we will be in is a peninsula surrounded by a beautiful lake on both sides with nice rustic views of scenic landscape and wildlife. The lake is accessible at the end of the peninsula with a  white sandy beach that my son and I fished from. The lake gets stocked every year. If you enjoy kayaking like many of our members do you will enjoy it here. There is a neat little country store that's about 1 mile outside the park for forgotten supplies or even an egg sandwich for breakfast if you don't feel like cooking.  I must say there prices are very friendly they carry candy bars to lanterns to fishing poles.Speaking of food it's a tradition on our rallies including this one to have a pot luck dinner at a gathering site (each site contributes a    dish or desert or even just condiments if your not a great cook)  there is never a shortage of food and we make sure even non forum members in our vicinity eat including the park rangers if they happen by. we all usually chip in or donate fire wood for an evening group campfire where we all get to gather around introduce our selfs and tell great stories weather camping related or not.
There is a lot to do in the area around promise land state park, like hiking, and antique and craft shopping. It is located about ten miles from tafton pike county Pa and not so far from lake wallenpaupack. I went to sleep away camp in this area for ten years when I was a kid.
    If you just like to take it easy and hangout at the camp ground a lot of time we hold group activities like,bocci ball,corn hole ,volley ball or frisbee. As you can see from the board on the first page everyone is welcome come solo, with family  or with a friend.
    If your still interested in this rally I recommend booking your site on the pa state web site with out delay this rally will probably sell out its a very desirable location in August that's why we are booking it a year ahead of time. Hope this answers any questions you have.
If I could be of any further assistance regarding this rally our anything on the forum don't hesitate to message me, Jonathan

Hope it works out.  If not, have fun wherever you do go!

Does anyone know if there are any permits or registration required to use a canoe in a pa state park?

Yep canoes are the same
