Pennsylvania Campgrounds

FEEL AT HOME WHEN YOU GO CAMPING IN PENNSYLVANIA

Campgrounds across Pennsylvania vary greatly! Some are more rustic, while others are more like resort vacations! So 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 by an attraction you’d like to visit. If you selected 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. Or, you can select what attraction you’d like to visit, and find a campground near it. Our user-friendly website, allows you to choose the region, the campground, or the attraction first.

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.

Tent camping can vary from primitive (no hookups) to more deluxe campsites with water, electric, tent pads, picnic tables, and fire rings with cooking grates. Some campgrounds charge extra for showers. So that’s a great question to ask before booking.

In general, discharging gray water (sink water or dish pan water) onto the ground in Pennsylvania is unlawful. Please dispose of waste water at the campgrounds dump station. This is true of tent camping or popups, or other travel trailers.

It’s also a great idea to remember, that even when camping in a pretty urban area doesn’t mean that wild animals don’t go into campgrounds. Never feed wild animals like raccoons, and never leave garbage at your campsite at night. Take your garbage to the dumpster each evening before retiring, and never take food into a tent or popup with you.

RV camping fosters a sense of community as you meet other RV campers along the way. Taking an RV allows more time to explore all of what Pennsylvania offers. Combine flexibility and comfort to visit more attractions and go camping near many of the state’s finest parks and landmarks. You can go practically anywhere you want in an RV comfortably and find RV campgrounds with amenities and hookups to enhance your camping experience. Camping in an RV shields you from annoying insects and bugs, not to mention the colder weather in the fall and winter months.
