West Virginia native here. I thought this place was closed. Glade to see it isn’t.

Camden Park had an epic arcade in the late 80s/early 90s... EDIT: The place should be an official historic landmark, honestly. I know it's run down, but some of the rides/attractions are literally 100 years old or more.

Just the severe ugliness of the park and the amateur nature of the rides made me think an accident could happen at any time.

18:09 That Dippin' Dots guy looks very familiar... In all seriousness, it was nice being in your fantastic experience at Dorney's Haunt this year. I hope to see you again next year!!

I guess when your state is a 3rd world country the parks match. Literally looks like something I would find in Cuba or Domincan.

went here as a kid in the 70s and 80s. it's not kept up like it used to be. i took my daughter a few years ago and i was happy and sad at the same time. she loved it, i loved that she loved it. i couldn't believe how many things were non functioning 😞

Camden park could become the Fallout "Goodsprings" of the Eastern US

what a charming little amusement park.

I’m a Huntingtonian, born and raised here, and a former employee of the park . The thing with Camden is that while it is something of a local joke that it really needs some love (we ALL make jokes about the Big Dipper’s structural integrity), we all cherish it as a nostalgic slice of childhood. Nearly all of us have gone on school trips or during church excursions or hospital picnics. In a way, it’s a repository for vintage rides and games. Both the Big and Little Dippers are two of the last three remaining roller coasters made by National Amusement Devices (66 and 61 years old, respectively!) still in operation, the carousel is 117 years old, the Haunted House (105 years) is one of only two gravity-operated dark rides left in the US by its manufacturer, and The Whip (100 years) and its sister the Kiddie Whip (94 years) are also rare rides. Most of the Kiddie Land rides are in the 70-80 ballpark too. We also have had a lot of rides that have, sadly, gone to that Big Scrapyard in the Sky (RIP Spider, Enterprise, Thunderbolt Express, Hot Cat, Hurricane, Bullseye/Rainbow,, Skydiver, and Dodgem Cars; you are all dearly missed). Quite a few of the attractions and the midway aren’t shown in this video, and all the action like musical acts at the amphitheater only take place in June and July, but hey, you hit the majority of the marquee rides. We may joke about it, but we still love it. Camden Park is irreplaceable. It would just be nice if it could get the love and refurbishment it needs, or even new versions of the rides it used to have. I would love to see a new inverted Ferris wheel like the Enterprise, or a new Hurricane ride, or a new Spider! We have empty spaces where some of the old rides once were, so it’s not like we don’t have the room for new stuff. It’s just a question of money. I’m glad you enjoyed your visit!

This is my home park ❤️ we always say the threat of the rides breaking down is half the thrill 😅 but in all seriousness, I always have a great time. Lines are super short, hardly any walking. Keep your expectations low snd you will enjoy it. Its no kings Island, but more like a stationary carnival. The Big Dipper is really surprisingly fun for a small coaster.

Really wish some ride company would invest in this place and then use it as proof of concrpt for their rides a type of test park where they could have”display” rides

Oh, now you're featuring ME! OK...I feel honored...and targeted...and...uh...well, I'll just say THANK YOU! 8:02

Instead of where's Waldo, it's where's the female? 2:06

Spent a lot of time there when i was a kid. I even worked there when i was a teenager. I had so many girlfriends around that place. Years later i started taking my own kids there and eventually they got tired of it. It used to be a nice park when i was a little kid but nowadays its just a dirty old park thats been ran into the ground. There is no reason to go there anymore unless you are just bored. The rides are old and falling apart. No money coming into that place now. I can remember when i was a young boy and there wouldnt even be any parking spaces available because of all the people going there back in the 80s. There used to be lots of attractions and fun things to do there. My brother won $1000 there when we played bingo there next to the sky lift ride. Now the entire parking lot is empty most of the time. Eventually the train will be about the only thing left and then ol Wal Mart will move in. We live about 3 hours away from there now so we havent been there for a couple years but that place has been through a lot. I dont think there is any bringing it back to life.

Furries?!?!?!? EEEEWwwwww!!!!!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

The beast are you sure about that

Awwww I'm the thumbnail

When was this taken?

LOL im 13 my mom worked there my dad kinda worded there the little boat spiiny thing by the pond he built the deck for that I cut dried corn stocks (flauttershocks) for the spooktacular event my family knows the owner perty well. and I'm going tomorrow! I can smell the oil and grease of the rides now. I've only have had one bad time at the park we was getting on the train and someone did not go in line and just hopped on and my sister said it was her when she did not, but I got cussed out for it by the train driver, and a lady so I belive the train driver don't work there no more

Went there so many times in life. Just makes me feel little agin. Yes its corney and silly but its fun.

Ohh snap, they have TWO COASTERS?!?! What's the admission fee? I would pay top dollar no doubt 🧐

I've been to county fairs that blows this playground out of the water.😮

How hard was it to make this video as long as it is. This place is a dump.

Cool little amusement park! I didn’t know West Virginia had one. Glad to see it still open! Hope it gets a nice renovation. I’m in Ohio so I’ll have to visit there sometime. Reminds me of the amusement park at the Columbus Zoo. Great tour and video from your 608th sub!

So run down it's not going to last much longer

How long were you there maybe not too long

Seems like a boring amusement park

Fairly amused...with Camden Park, more like Fairly embarrasing.

I got here every once in awhile I kinda giggled when he said renovating 😂 yea that’s not happening

I enjoyed my trip there! The Rollercoasters gave me an old school beat down! I loved it!

Tell that guy it’s not illegal to be filmed. And to get fucked.

Nice of you to pass through the tri state area. Camden Park is roughly 30 minutes from where I live. It has been around for many decades. I am surprised to see that there are still people out there brave enough to go on those rides.

I went here I thinkkkk in 1997, in 4th grade

Haha I never saw that before a monster with dip n dots 22:20

If you ordered Disney Land from Temu, this is what you’d receive in the mail 6 weeks later.

My favorite to go back home I can’t believe it’s still open

Thanks for visiting our state. Great content!

Lol I spotted my girlfriend & myself at 16:34 😂

The horror as a child of the sky lift with minimal safety belts able to slip to a broken ankle or leg. The fun horror of surviving the Big Dipper Roller Coaster as old nailed boards creaked and groaned to the max capacity of the 100 year old coaster. The best one that doesn't exist no more was the pioneer scene on the train ride of a group of native American firing into a house of settlers firing back with muskets that were powered by propane to give off the loud reports of simulated gun fire. The tommy gun alley and the never disappearing red star or the haunted house. I love Camden park I wish they would repair the Big Dipper. ...

This place looks like the entire state, all in one tidy area. Worst of all 50 states.

That lumber show was a lot of fun!

I live fairly close to Camden Park on the Ohio side and used to go there a lot as a kid. I haven't been there in many years though. Of course I also have King's Island which isn't too far that I went to as well and occasionally made the trip up to Cedar Point. I don't remember how it looked when I was a kid in the 90s but sad to see it kinda run down.

IT puts me in the mind of what Lakeside was.

Go to kings island

Cool looks enjoyable 🎉🎉❤

Cool looks enjoyable ❤❤❤🎉

The haunted house us one if very few if it's kind left.... it's basically like a small coaster inside.

Like if you came here bc of fallout 76

We lived 5 minutes away from Camden Park when I grew up , I remember for 5 bucks you could get an all day hand stamp and ride anything , it brings back better memories from back in the day ,thanks for the upload
