The Road to River Bend Campsites – AKA Camp Pokono Ramona



More photos from this past weekend:

1) The old bridge. Remember the one that was so tough for the busses to navigate?
2) The old and NEW bridges (not sure how long the new bridge has been there)
3) The road from the bridge (s) to camp
4) The entrance into camp
5) (Use your imagination) This is where the infirmary was!

Don't forget to keep checking--special location requests coming soon!

Wow, thanks for the pictures. I have not been back since 1973.

Hi David-
Keep watching I haven't posted all the camp pictures yet. I also have a bunch from Stroudsburg that you also may recall.
More to follow...

I distinctly remember the entrance to camp and seem to recall a sign by the stream/brook that said Lake Success. You could see the St. Moritz Inn from this point and the busses would slowly turn up the road over the bridge to head into camp. I recall passing the infirmary /Siberia after a few hundred yards one the right side of the road. After riding about another few hundred yards you would get into the camp proper passing the totem poles/Indian signs with the camp names on it. Just as you entered the camp you would see the archery range on your right, which also was the site for large camp fire activities at night. Also on this site was a newly built cabin in 1964 for Marv and Lee Fleischman. Across the road from the archery range was the rifle range with the wooden wall with paper targets on its surface. Just after these ranges on either side of the gravel road you would see the girls campus on the left and the boys campus on the right. Straight ahead you would see the Round House and the large circular track and two ballfields enclosed by the track.
