Welll....I'm hardly a DG expert and I rarely get around to other
courses, but 54 holes isn't exactly a "typical public park course"!
It's broken down into two 18 hole courses + two 9 hole courses plus
the first mini-disc course in a PA. state park. (Right guys?) All 4
courses have increasing levels of difficulty. It's been said that with
all the PDGA tournaments we've hosted, no one has ever gotten par.
(Granted, the course layout is altered for a higher level of
difficulty for these events.)

Wide open spaces that are well tended/semi tended (i.e. DG-friendly)
are far and few between in this part of the country. The mid-Atlantic
area tends to have one town sitting directly beside another town.
Nothing like you'd see, for example, in the southwest.

There are several public parks in the area with no DG course. Is that
what you're looking for? With 54 holes plus another 5(or more) courses
in an hour's drive, there's little incentive for locals to find an
open spot to setup their own course.

Camping is available at Codorus State Park and I'm quite sure there
are open, mowed areas in the camping area but I'll let the Park Gurus
speak since they work it everyday. Even on the DG courses, there are
times when we're competing with a picnicer's game of tag football.

As far as a guide goes, it just depends on when you'll be in the area.
As you can see, we have a lot of people in this Yahoo Group. There's a
decent chance that someone will be around.

It sounds like you're really looking for campgrounds, not established
courses. You're very welcome to come but I can't help you if setting
up your own course is your goal.

Good luck,
Joe
