I forwarded this to this list because of my excellent experience with this
campground and my ferrets.  We on vacation with our 4 ferrets and it went
wonderful.  All four had more fun than the two of us together.  It was no
trouble at all registering with the ferrets.  The owner knew what they were
and what they were about.  She just made sure that they would have leashes
when outside and that we would clean up after them.  The site was perfect
for us and the ferrets.
 
I'll keep this short, if anybody wants any info of my experience or any
tips, email me off list.  They boys had no trouble sleeping in their
carrier when they were being petsat at the camp owners house.  I had to
wake them up when I came back for them.  ( I was worried that they were
going to be upset not seeing Mike or me and not being in a familiar
enviroment, didn't bother them at all.  They were so passed out that the
couple said that they didn't hear the ferrets at all and had to check on
them to make sure they were still breathing.  LOL Those crazy fuzzbuts!
They were tired from being outside all morning.  ) We all had a fun and
enjoyable experience.
 
 
Hi all, Amy and I got back from our vacation yesterday.  We found a
beautiful campground in PA that is ferret friendly!  The campground is
Sunrise Lake Family Campground, located in Nicholson PA, about 20 miles
north of Scranton.
 
The sites are absolutely gorgeous!  The camp is clean, well cared for,
located in some beautiful scenery.  There are sites for tents, trailers,
RV's ( pull throughs available) and some trailers are available to rent.
They have clean restrooms with showers, a game room, camp store,
picnic/party pavilion, lake with paddle boats, pool and a very nice
playground for the kids.  They also have hay rides.  Phyllis and Herman
Birster, the owners will even baby-sit your ferrets in a clean air
conditioned home for you while you visit the local attractions!  They will
ask that they not have to do any ferret care ( they like ferrets, but have
little experience with them) and that the ferrets be in a secure carrier
while being babysat.  There may be a nominal fee for the babysitting,
depending on how long you will be gone.
 
I highly recommend the campground to anyone traveling with their ferrets,
or even anyone traveling through the area!
