    A fun adventures day rafting the Leigh River. Rapids were class 2-3 not too scary. Instructor were good in directing where to go and went over safety protocols. Was a bit disappointed tho because when I checked in on Yelp I was supposed to get a free picture and they didn't take one of our raft!!

    I've been going here for a few years now and I absolutely love it. The guides are what really make the experience wonderful. They're always fun. I've always been treated extremely well by them.

    What a thrill and a amazing wow factor! If your up for the challenge definitely check out Whitewater Challengers and have a fantastic Whitewater rafting experience. So I was hesitant at first but I was glad to join a group of friends at the Poconos for an adventure of a lifetime. The staff at Whitewater Challengers were all nice. Check in was easy, our group leader basically confirmed all of our attendance and we were then giving life jackets and escorted via bus to the river. Once we arrived at the rafting site, we each picked a boat and was off to sail the seas for 5 hours. A half hour was spent eating lunch. The experience was awesome in the river and I felt safe knowing that staff was traveling around us in separate canoes just to make sure that we were okay. Overall the rapids were a big thrill, the views of the mountains were breathtaking and the water gun fights had me reliving my childhood. If your into outdoor activities like camping, paintball and whitewater rafting check out Whitewater Challengers and have the time of your life!!

    Yeah... my friend group was THAT group...we tipped over and fell into the water... BUT it was epic and we had NO regrets! All the staff are very friendly and everything seems very organized! This was our first time ever rafting and honestly we were pretty scared! But our instructor made the whole experience very safe and smooth! Also be careful, you will get WET and ur clothes will stink afterwards! Also invest in some water shoes they are a lifesaver! Our guide, Sid, was the BOMB! Without him the rafting trip would've been NOT worth the money! He was SUPER nice and was really funny! He made us feel really comfortable and made our trip really amazing! He even taught us about the history of the river and showed us a lot of really beautiful waterfalls! Even when our raft tipped over and the majority of us fell out, he stayed calmed and managed to rescue us very swiftly! So if you didn't get the point already... you should DEFINITELY get this guy as your guide! PS. The waters were the HIGHEST they have ever been on the day we went! (Which is probably why we tipped over) The waters are usually really really calm! Also this review is for FAMILY STYLE RAFTING! We paid 44.50 per person!

    This is an awesome rafting place . I had a group of 5 people and we went in one raft. It was very nice the river has many rocks but it made it fun and our raft was going fast. We had 2 guides and it's good to have them because in case anything happens like any one falling of raft they are there. They also gave us cues to when to make certain turns in river because it is rocky river . One thing Is you can't wear crocks . You need sneakers or swimmer shoes . I ended up buying swim shoes which U can buy at their store for 12.99$ the whole trip is 5 hours long but super fun. You get one stop and u can swim there. It's very scenic. There is a photographer who takes pics of the rafts too. And it's 13.95$ for 2 pictures. Great times and lots of rapids .

    Jordan and Kirk who are the guides are the best part of this adventure. They were enthusiastic, friendly and professional. They both deserve raises and promotions for making sure we were safe and trying to have a best possible time ever. We thank them for their great service on the day we went June 28, 2020. They made the adventure. I would recommend if you do this, have Jordan and Kirk lead your group.

    We had two terrific days. Cycling Saturday and rafting sunday. I was thoroughly impressed with the organization of their operations from entry to the parking lot through the check-in and departure on the shuttle to the cycling trailhead. Our driver Joe Z, was excellent in explaining the best places to stop along the route and exactly where to go for our pickup. Same excellent organization for our rafting. Our guides gave us the confidence that We would be in good hands on the river. We took the family float as this was our first experience as a family. We had great time and felt very comfortable. Our guides were terrific. Bob, Bob, Kerron, and Brandon. Bob inspired me to buy a harmonica when I get home today.

    Snack bar and store

    I took two of my teen girl scouts to one of WWC scout weekends. The facilities were very well maintained. They have a new shower house with about 12 private shower rooms. They have a flush toilet house and a compostable toilet house. Both were clean. Their camp store had a lot of supplies such as fire wood, great fire starters and water shoes (for those who forgot theirs.) There is a snack bar as well. It even sells coffee for those who need a fix in the morning. The site was amongst trees and was well maintained. We had a large area for our tent. It was easy to set up on despite arriving in the dark. They had a night worker who rode around on golf cart until 2am. She came by and introduced herself and checked in periodically. I felt very comfortable and found the whole staff helpful. The white water rafting was very organized. The staff was very knowledgable and attentive. We were upgraded to the level 2-3 rapid experience. We were nervous at first since the boats usually run with 4-7 riders and we were only a boat of 3. My teens are petite. The guides continuously checked in with us and made sure we were doing well. We had a fabulous time! We had no trouble navigating the rapids. I would HIGHLY suggest White Water Challengers!! I have been to other tubing/rafting outfitters and WWC was my nest experience so far.

    I looooove this campground! I've been here a few times with friends over the past few years. This…read morepast weekend we had one of my favorite camp sites. I woke up to the most beautiful view. The skies were blue, surrounded by green as far as the eye can see, birds were chirping and the warm sun beaming. The campground is beautifully maintained, everyone is very respectful of other campers. The sites are far enough away from one another that it really feels like a camping trip. It's also close enough that I can walk over to the next site to visit a friend. All the sites come with a small cabin. It's very basic but it's sufficient if you chose not to tent camp or if you bring kids or dogs and prefer to stay inside. I woke up to bunnies running all over the campsite. What a view and what an experience! A friend camping near the water spotted a baby brown bear! If you're looking for a fun camping experience with friends, family, your partner or just by yourself I would highly recommend this place! The views are amazing, the locations is clean and well kept, there's firewood that can be purchased on site, it's a quick 90 minute drive if you're coming over from Philadelphia.

We stayed at the Creekside campsite and definitely want to return. We had an absolutely fantastic and serene time on their property. I was very excited to get to see a Black Bear up somewhat close, which also can be scary if you aren't expecting it, but the owners let you know and it seems fairly common there. At dark, we also saw three chirping otters floating down the river together... very adorable. It is way more wild than other campsites, so of course leave your food and cooler in your car. Definitely BE CAREFUL when using the suspension bridge as it slants a bit and can get wet! Firewood will be under a tarp next to some crates along the beginning of the main camp road.

For 2 of us, paid $30 total for one night for a tent site (tent sites are in the strip of land across the road from the main office). The tent site was much better than I thought. 1. only 3 parties there in a very large area reserved for tent only camping, we were very spread out and it was pretty peaceful 2. camp site right next to a beautiful creek! 3. had electric outlets and tap faucet right next to the tent site. We didn't bring anything that could be plugged into an outlet but thinking in the future I could be sitting in a hammock and watching a movie on my laptop while being charged 4. camp site didn't have a fire pit or an obvious hole in the ground where you make your fire safely but we were out climbing very late and too tired to make a fire anyways when we got back. Lots of fallen branches you can collect to make a fire. The other 2 parties had built fires, didn't see how they did it. 5. the shower house closest to the main offices had large showers which were in decent level of cleanliness, paper towels kept running out though so bring your own Overall, very happy with this campground and will definitely come back in the future! A couple of things I noticed (1) the area where RV's are parked looked pretty crowded and also loud (2) I don't think I saw anyone else wearing masks around the campground, even when a lot of people were going in and out of the office. The 2 of us may be the only ones wearing masks there, when going into the office and using the bathroom

Since then there have been a lot of changes under the management of the new owners!!! The new owners have done a terrific job updating and cleaning up the property in just a short 6 months. They have remodeled cabins, painted the bath houses and pavilions, reinforced and painted the playground and fixed the roads that lead to each of the 3 levels of the grounds. That's just the beginning of what they have in store for upcoming seasons. It has been so much fun meeting new people who have been so kind and friendly!! We've had numerous gatherings at the main pavilion with live music, food, games and hay rides!!! 4th of July weekend they put on a fireworks display and at Halloween a Trunk or Treat for the kids!!! I love our new campground family!!!

There are usually events through the weekends to keep everyone entertained. The grounds are also close to the Trexler Nature Preserve and the Appalachian Trail for some good hiking. The only negative: Took one star off because we've noticed that they built up tent pads and gravel "driveways" for the tent sites and smaller vehicle sites. It doesn't give much leeway how you can set up your site. The tent pads are also rock hard and very unforgiving on tent stakes.
