Watoga is heaven on earth. Lived on the park as a child, father superintendent, worked at Watoga during my college years. I now take my grandchildren there, so many wonderful memories. My husband and I took a trip to Watoga yesterday. The weather was perfect and everything was beautiful. We need to go for a few days in the fall. We love to walk in the woods and build a big fire in the fireplace and chili in the crockpot. That is living!!!!
i have been raised not from from here,still love to go there.
I grew up going to Watoga with my grandparents in the summers . We tent camped back then and had alot of fun .. Last spring my wife and i stayed in one of the cabins(first time i had been back in 20+yrs) and my wife is now bugging me to book another trip up there ... Thanks to all the helpful staff ,we had a wonderful time and will be returning hopefully this fall.
