The Vibe
Busy and kid-loud in the best way. The water park, jumping pillow, and glow mini-golf pull the crowd, so days run lively. Evenings ease off along the river, at the restaurant, or under the outdoor movie screen.
Splash Magic RV Resort sits on the Susquehanna River at 213 Aspen Lane in Northumberland, just off US-11. It’s a full-tilt family resort built around water and games: a water park, a jumping pillow, glow mini golf, an arcade, a restaurant, and an outdoor movie screen for when the evening finally slows down.
RV sites are full hookup with 30 and 50-amp service in pull-through and back-in layouts, and they fit everything from camper vans to big rigs. Cabins cover anyone who’d rather not tow (several are pet-friendly for a per-stay fee), and there are tent sites. Four guests come with your site; extra guests are a small daily fee, 8 max. Golf carts are rentable, or bring your own with headlights and run it till 11. For the water park itself, see swimming and water fun near Northumberland.
