Interest in camping and RV life exploded in the COVID era. The good news is that whether you’ve always gone camping, have gone every year since 2020 or have been even the slightest bit curious about the idea, Adventure Bound at Eagles Peak offers a unique camping experience for all ages right here in Berks County.
“We've certainly seen an increase in demand around COVID…a lot of people got introduced to the idea of campgrounds as a family vacation opportunity who weren’t aware of it before,” says Matt Shingleton, vice president of marketing and technology at Adventure Bound.
The Dyrt’s 2024 Camping Report found 50 percent of camping properties expanded in 2023 and that RVing is the fastest-growing type of camping. Adventure Bound has remained ahead of the curve.
The Eagles Peak camping resort in Robesonia is equipped with RVs, multiple cabin designs and campsites from which to choose.
“If you don't have an RV yourself or you are looking to experience what it could be like, one of our RV Rentals or deluxe cabins is a great way to test that and see what that camping lifestyle is all about,” says Shingleton.
Adventure Bound at Eagles Peak also boasts a splash park as well as two heated swimming pools, an 18-hole miniature golf course, a camp store, laundry, Wi-Fi, free cable TV, a large recreation lodge, two playgrounds, a variety of sports courts and a fishing pond.
“We grew up not going camping. Now we take our kids every year. They're eight and five years old. The first year we took my family, as we were leaving, my son asked if we could live there,” remembers Shingleton. “So, we have firsthand experience of seeing how much fun it can be for your family. It's a unique memory-building experience and vacation, so I would recommend giving it a shot. We keep getting more and more of our friends and family into it as well.”
Guests drive up a winding, wooded area to get to the property. The elevation allows them to see and enjoy the surrounding areas of the Amish country and get a taste of the Pennsylvania Dutch experience. The resort has a mix of secluded and non-secluded areas, all with breathtaking views.
“The biggest thing I see with my own family is just how much your kids kind of forget about what they would do back home, like go on their iPads,” says Shingleton. “We do have Wi-Fi available so you're not completely isolated, but it's that they just want to be outside and play with you. It’s just really cool seeing families be together. Kids are loving it. Kids want to be there. I would say that's the number one thing we strive for, and I think a majority of our guests see that as well. It’s that mix of the environment it's in plus the amenities that we offer that just provide a really unique camping experience.”
