After focusing on drawing new thrill-seekers for several years, Carowinds hopes to compliment rides such as [/i]Top Gun with new draws for families.More overnight guests will return to Paramount's Carowinds this season along with water park fans with the redebut of the park's adjacent campground.
Paramount's Camp Wilderness Resort is the name given to the renovated 25-acre campground at Paramount's Carowinds, which closed two years ago. The park cited a need to temporarily focus attention on new rides rather than accomodations as the reason for closure.
Now, the Carolina-based theme park is focusing back on the popular draws for families and redebuting the campground. Fifteen air-conditioned cabins, 200 camp sites, a swimming pool, miniature golf and discounts on park tickets are a few of the campground's features that the park is hoping will draw a plethora of new overnight visits.
The renovated campground joins the park's water park renovation in a multi-million-dollar focus on improving the property for the 2006 season. Boomerang Bay, formerly known as Water Works, will officially redebut on May 20, to join forces with the newly-announced campground overhaul.
