At Go Camping PA there’s a great camping adventure awaiting you! The campgrounds in Pennsylvania are very diverse. When visiting privately owned campgrounds, some are more rustic, while others are more like resort vacations, and of course, there’s everything in between those two extremes.

What is a private campground? It’s a campground not owned by a city, county, the state, or the national parks system. Some are franchises like KOA (aka Kampgrounds of America), or Yogi Bear Campgrounds, among others, and some are privately owned, non-franchised campgrounds. Sure they might cost a little more than a county, state or national campground, but remember that they aren’t subsidized by tax dollars, and in general, they have more amenities like swimming pools, mini golf, jumping pillows, paddle boats, paint ball or laser tag, evening movies, and more!

Here at Go Camping PA, you can choose your next camping adventure based on what geographical region you would like to visit, which campground you’d like to stay at, or find a campground near an attraction you’d like to visit. If you select the region first, as an example, you can then select the campground that best meets your family’s needs, and what attractions you’d like visit in that area. Or, you can select what attraction you’d like to visit anywhere within the state, and then find a campground near it. Our user-friendly website, allows you to choose the region, the campground, or the attraction first.

Pennsylvania Campgrounds are as beautiful and varied as the state in which they reside! At privately owned campgrounds, you can tent camp on primitive sites (no hookups), or sites with electric or electric and water. They also have sewer services for recreational vehicles of all kinds. Recreational Vehicles (RVs) include tent trailers (aka popups), small travel trailers (aka bumper pulls), large travel trailers, fifth wheel RVs, and motorhomes. In addition to all of these great utilities, many private campgrounds provide wifi, and cable TV.

Many PA campgrounds offer hiking trails, catch and release fishing, volleyball, gaga ball, basketball, horseshoes, and more! Some even offer planned activities that might include things like train rides, tractor drawn wagon rides, fire truck rides, BINGO, crafts, ceramics, meals, and more!

Almost all campgrounds have a base number of people included in their site charge. Generally that is 2 adults or a family of 2 adults and 2 minor children (i.e. children under 18). Extra people are an extra fee. People who might visit you while you are camping are also subject to register at the campground office and pay any visitor fees the campground charges. Please remember that if people are entering a campground without paying the visitors or extra people fee, that is considered a theft of  services in the state of Pennsylvania. Please be sure to not place yourself or your guests in that position. Also, it’s also a great idea to read through a campground’s policies to make sure that your camping style is within their expectations. Some parks have gates that require after-hours entry codes or gate keys. Be sure to ask about getting into campgrounds after hours if your arrival will be well after normal office hours.
