2016 Rendezvous
Camping at Greenhouse Park
The 2023 Stonycreek Rendezvous was held on May 19 – 21. The Cambria Regional Chamber just released a great promotional video of the event. We also have a dedicated website for the Rendezvous at Stonycreek Rendzvous.com
Here is a simple river map of the Stony and its tributaries.
Please note: due to liability issues, we ask visitors to refrain from bringing alcoholic beverages to Greenhouse Park. We have beer and wine for sale. Beer is supplied by Von’s United Beverage and Anheuser Busch. As usual we have a great selection of good beer: which we will post after much thought and tastings. 🙂 And folks, profit from beer and wine sales go to paying for releases. Please buy from us.
