Camp Laughing Waters, a 458-acre tract of woods that covers parts of New Hanover and Upper Fredrick townships, will be permanently protected from development in Montgomery County thanks to a new conservation easement. The easement allows the Girls Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania to continue using the grounds as a campground and also calls for the addition of a 2-mile county trail.
The proposal entails consolidating two of the three existing lots, demoing existing features, and constructing a convenience store with gas station, according to the meeting agenda.
The new venue will occupy a roughly 10,000-square-foot space that previously housed women’s fashion retailer Charming Charlie.
The property, just north of Hellertown near Saucon Park, was previously the site of the now-demolished Chris’s Restaurant for decades.
