    Oh the memories of that beautiful place! Family camping for many years there. As a young teen, I loved hiking even by myself, especially in the mornings, digging in the mud along the shore. Those were the days…

    Love to listen to those little waves hit the shore. Huge lake. You changed out our mug. I like the color.

    I grew up in Altoona. Prince Gallitzin State Park was a favored destination during high school and college years. I never camped there but had many visits for swimming and picnicking. I had an enjoyable ice skating visit to the marina there with my girlfriend (now wife) and her brother. In later years, we had post-Thanksgiving visits with family to walk, see deer, and visit Sir Barney's Restaurant for coffee and hot chocolate. The park is beautiful and restful. Thanks for the video, Cliff. It brings back memories.

    My father grew up not far from this park in a small town called Van Ormer. We spent many summers there. My grandmother was instrumental in naming the park. I was hoping you would have mentioned the story Prince Gallitzin. He was a very important person in the early days in that area of PA.

    Love your camping videos! Maybe you can get one of those patch kits for your air mattress and give it a second life? The beaver sighting was very cool! Thanks for posting

    I had a small motorboat when I camped there. A slow cruise at sunset to see the deer coming down for a drink was great.
    You haven’t fully appreciated dog owners till one walks past your fire ring and allows the dog to relieve himself on it.

    Beautiful sunrise! Gallitzin gets really busy on the weekends. Depending upon which site you get, it can be rather bothersome. We really liked the area though, very scenic, and places to walk from the campground.

  • @pennsylvaniaforestadventurer

    We love camping in the Cherry Loop at Crooked Run Campground in Prince Gallitzin State Park. We kayak right from the site. Over to pickeral pond to the play ground, over to the main beach...always looking for eagles and herons.
    The geocaching at PGSP is the best. Always something to do!
    Man, we literally just missed you at both PGSP and Blue Knob...one of these days we may be in the same place at the same time!

    Great overnight camping trip cliff, loved seeing the log with ears in the lake too. The pancakes made me hungry for pancakes, I love them with butter and syrup. You know what they say, you probably do not like the taste of coffee if you put cream in it, my hat is off to anybody who takes their coffee black, YUK.😝😝 I have to have my milk and sugar with my morning coffee.😋😋

    When I was a kid my parents and my aunt and uncle nd their kids(my cousins)went to prince gallitzen several times a summer camping and hiking and swimming. I have so many wonderful memories from and of that place. I only live about 45mins from there now nd my fiance nd I went there last fall and went to headache hill. I absolutely love prince gallitzen ❤

    My Mother and Father lived there after they retired from 1989 till their passing in 2014. That campground was always packed all summer long. Lots of things to do there, summer and winter. I use to tell my kids when they had nightmares to stop watching scary movies, sometimes it comes from the food you eat.

  • @darcyshikingdiaries

    I agree with the dog & camping. If you take a dog with you, it should stay with you or someone should be with it and not left tied up alone at the campsite. What a pretty place!

    You say that you're not in a hurry you are packing up your things already why don't you just stay for a while when I always went out camping and fishing I would stay for at least week or two and I didn't have all of that fancy equipment I would just sleep on a blanket next to the camp fire and cook everything over the fire now that's what you call camping
