Campgrounds Are Increasingly Investing
In Fun Water Related Activities
Linda Profaizer - National Assn of RV Parks & Campgrounds
Private parks aren’t limiting themselves to poolside waterslides. Many are investing in everything from spraygrounds and splashpads to floating trampolines, floating rock-climbing walls, floating waterslides and water balloon war games. MEXICO, N.Y., May 2009 – Most people like the idea of taking a summer vacation in a scenic location where they can simply get close to nature. But when families head to Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park in Mexico, N.Y., roughly 36 miles north of Syracuse, they aren’t going there simply to relax in the woods. Many can’t wait for the chance to try out the park’s new “Water Wars” attraction in which opposing teams use specially designed catapults to see how much they can saturate their fellow campers. The popular attraction, which includes two opposing battle stations that would provide adequate shelter if it weren’t for their large windows and gaping roof holes, has been installed in more than a dozen private campgrounds across the country, courtesy of the Water Wars company of Pequot Lake
