Pamlea Goodyer spent countless weekends at this campground, a place she credits with igniting her love for nature, instilled by her father. The same family still owns the campground fifty years later.

Pamela’s family camped together every weekend, even braving the winter months. While those winters felt torturous, the memories of summer there play out like a vivid movie in her mind. If you ask her about it, she’ll fondly recount stories of Poochie Beaver, Michelle Kreiling, and the Worthington sisters—all friends she hopes will reconnect with her someday. Each memory is a cherished thread in the rich tapestry of her past. The happiest part of her childhood.

A SIDE NOTE ON CAMPING AT BEAVER VALLEY:

If Kathleen Wortington from Pennsylvania ever gets to read this, Pam’s mom passed away recently. Among her mother’s belongings, she found your letter informing her that your dog had died. Pam never received that letter until now. In it, you expressed that Pam should know because she was like a sister. Pam felt horrible 50 years later, that she never got to respond to you. There is a contact page here to reach Pam if the Universe guides you here.
