View Full Version : Sunny Rest Resort, Palmerton PA rickb 05-13-2008, 20:23 Reports? It was mentioned in ATN. RLC_FLA 05-14-2008, 06:49 It's a nudist resort. We sayed there for a weekend on our thru, just to take a few days off. Great place at that time. Doctari 05-14-2008, 09:18 It's a nudist resort. We sayed there for a weekend on our thru, just to take a few days off. Great place at that time. "A few days OFF" Ok, I don't care who you are, that's funny. :banana I'm thinking that is one place on the trail where you can get ALL of your clothes clean at the same time, AND even out your hiker tan just a bit. Just be careful you don't burn your tush :p JayMosier 05-14-2008, 09:51 Since I am originating my hike in Palmerton, I expect that will be my first stop Wise Old Owl 05-14-2008, 11:07 Uhh you best call ahead and check the prices.... http://www.sunnyrest.com/ max patch 05-14-2008, 11:45 They have a campground..... http://www.sunnyrest.com/ rickb 05-14-2008, 19:17 I see from the website that some weekday rooms are just $45 (for 2 people). Seems like a bargain. 30 X 60 pool. Laundry on site. 2 Professional volleyball courts and a nightclub. ki0eh 05-14-2008, 21:38 They have a campground..... Hmm, nobody mentioned that in my "Are there any campgrounds near Lehigh Gap?" thread... :D Doctari 10-23-2009, 17:43 OK, I know this is an OLD thread, sorry, I just got to thinking about it: Just wondering if there are any other places within a few miles of the AT like Sunny Rest? I did a search as best I could, the closest one I could find was a 2 hour round trip by Highway. As a hiker I don't think I could afford a 4 hr cab or shuttle ride (61 miles one way at about $2.00 a mile, um NO!), even IF I could get one. Don't know if I would ever stop there,,, likely I would / could, but I got to thinking that the "wash all of your clothes" option would be great! And the week day camping fees seem semi reasonable if Sunny Rest is a good example. I know you need a towel, but I bet Palmerton (or most any other town) has a "Dollar store", & last week Dollar General had 2 for $3. max patch 10-23-2009, 18:05 Just wondering if there are any other places within a few miles of the AT like Sunny Rest? This place is 12 miles from Amicalola Falls State Park (approach trail): http://www.paradisevalleyclub.com/about-us They offer pig roasts, bonfires, and nude hikes. Don't look now, here comes Billville.... They also have an annual 5k race. I think that would hurt. |
