What is Granny Grose's
Buses? Well, it's just another reason to bring out the Bus or Bug and camp with
the family, along with fellow Volkswagen owners. We have been camping with Granny
Grose(campground owner) for 7 years. She is a very kind lady and she makes you
feel right at home.
My family and I have always enjoyed camping. But never experienced the fun and
absolute joy of camping in a VW Bus! On my 22nd Bday, I bought my first Bus.
We started attending VW Shows. Met some of our closest friends through our love
of Buses. We would camp before and after shows. And we always had talked about
starting our own lil' campout.
In 2005, we attended a Bus campout in NC...EveryBus. After 4 days of camping
with some of the greatest VW Bus drivers and families, we were hooked!! We had
been camping at Grose's, had the Buses, and had the potluck breakfast going.
But, we just hadn't made it an official FullMoonBusClub
campout. So, we came home from EveryBus and three weeks later, the official
Granny Grose's Buses 1 came together with just 8 Buses. In 2006, we jumped to
34 Buses! 2007, Granny Grose's saw 43 Buses from 12 States!!
So...Come Camp With Us!!

DIRECTIONS:
Grose's Campground is located 2 miles off Route 522, in Beavertown, Pennsylvania.
Beavertown is 24 miles north of Lewistown and 18 miles south of Selinsgrove.
There are blue campground signs at the turn in Beavertown. You will turn left
if coming from Selinsgrove. You will turn right, if coming from Lewistown. Since
the address they have for the campground is a box number, mapquest gives you
a general area. However, I entered the road that the campground is on. Quarry
Road, 17813. That will get you onto the campground's road. The campground entrance
is about 2 miles from the beginning of Quarry Road(Lr54058). In Beavertown,
turn off Route 522 onto Zechman Street. At the stop sign, turn left onto Sassafras
Street, then a right onto Quarry Road(Lr54058). Look for blue Grose's Campground
signs.

OR, you can come from Middleburg...Route 104. In Middleburg, you will turn at
the red star on the following map. At Paxtonville Road and 104 intersection,
Grose's entrance is 5.4miles. Look for Grose's Blue signs and Campout signs.
Follow Paxtonville Road approx. 4.1mi until Quarry Road on your Left. Turn Left
onto Quarry Road and follow for approx. 1.3mi to Grose's Campground. Entrance
will be on your Left.
