Buttonwood Campground
Tubing
The Juniata is Your Playground!
Tubing on the Juniata River is a core experience of staying at Buttonwood Campground! From the convenience of our shuttle to the gentle put-in and take-out areas, it's so easy to enjoy a relaxing float down the river during the camping season.
Purchase a Wrist Band
Start your tubing adventure by picking up a wristband at the Store. It’s your pass to a smooth, easy day on the river.
Shuttle Ride Upstream
No need to walk or take your own car... just gather at the Rec Hall and a friendly Buttonwood staff member will meet you and shuttle you to the tube put-in upstream!
Put-in With Ease
After everyone gets a tube and lifejacket, walk partially into the river and get in your tube. We recommend to bring rope or clips to tie your party together.
Enjoy the Float
The Juniata twists and winds lazily through the valley at a current that's just right for enjoying every moment of the float. And you might catch a train or two passing on the opposite bank!
Arrive Back at Buttonwood
Once you float back to Buttonwood, make your way out of the river, bring your tube with you, and hand it off to our staff. Guests are responsible for exiting the river with their group and equipment.
Relax at the Campground
Once you've made it back to the campground, wade into the shallows and enjoy some time in the water. Or set up a chair and continue your Juniata relaxation!
And Go Again & Again
Not ready to call it a day? Grab another tube and head back out for another relaxing float down the river.
Tucked into the heart of central Pennsylvania, Buttonwood Campground is a place where families slow down, spend time together, and enjoy the outdoors. From spacious campsites to cozy cabins and weekend events, everything here is designed to make your stay easy and enjoyable.
