Foxwood Family Campground: An Enchanting Natural Oasis

from:

If you like the idea of taking your family to a mountainside retreat, consider booking a week at Foxwood family campground. This scenic retreat is located in the lovely Pocono Mountains of North Eastern Pennsylvania. Therefore, while Foxwood Family Campground gives the impression of being far from neighborhood noise, it is close enough to city life to make it quite convenient for travelers.

One of the advantages of staying at Foxwood family campground is that it is close to a number of intriguing attractions. For instance, if you enjoy seeing how objects are made, you might want to tour the nearby candy and candle factories. Teenagers will enjoy the dances at Shawnee, bowling, roller skating, and ice skating. Meanwhile, their parents might want to explore Marshall’s Creek Flea Market, the Pocono International Raceway, or a variety of fascinating museums. Other attractions include horseback riding, golf courses, go carts, and county fairs. In other words, no matter what your favorite leisure activity might be, chances are you will find it nearby.

Foxwood family campground also boasts an incredible list of campsite activities. This can be particularly important if you intend to spend the vast majority of your time on site. For instance, in April, you can take part in a bingo marathon weekend. In May, you can take advantage of mini casino games such as Texas Hold’Em, Roulette, 21, and slots. Memorial Day at Foxwood family campground is celebrated with such activities as karaoke and an ice cream social.

In June, you can celebrate summer with your fellow campers by taking part in an Italian feast weekend. In addition to sampling Italian cuisine, you can spend your time making Italian-themed arts and crafts. Fourth of July means parade time at the campgrounds. Your children can participate in a fun-filled day decorating their bikes, golf carts, and strollers. They can also enjoy such activities as horseshoes and hayrides. August means a return to disco, as Foxwood family campground celebrates the decade when disco was king—the ‘70s. Campers are encouraged to dress in their favorite ‘70s clothes in a retro event that is truly memorable.

You might call September “family month” at Foxwood. That’s because there are plenty of activities then that are suitable for the entire family. These include a special grandparents’ weekend…a children’s talent contest…and an adult “Gong Show.” September is also the month for Foxwood’s yearly pig roast.

If you’re interested in a campsite that is truly family-oriented, Foxwood is the place to be. It’s a campground that promotes family togetherness with activities that suit a variety of interests. Once you’ve visited Foxwood, you might want to return again and again.
