There is always something fun happening at Dogwood
Acres Campground.
We offer a full schedule of planned activities
throughout the season, right from Easter Weekend and the
opening of trout season to the last of our Halloween
Weekends in October! Annual events and typical
activities include our Pirate Weekend, Wet & Wild
Weekend, Western Weekend, Winter Wonderland ... and
much, much more. In addition to everything that is
happening right here at the campground, there is a wide
range of events that are scheduled throughout the season
in Cumberland County and the surrounding communities,
including several major automotive events at Carlisle.
Whatever weekend you choose, you can be sure that there
will always be something happening at Dogwood Acres! |
