Camping in Pennsylvania
If
you love the outdoors, the state of Pennsylvania offers many options
for camping. The PA State Parks provide outdoor camping for families,
small groups and scouts. Many camp sites include extras such as
bathhouses, RV electrical hookups and picnic tables. If you are
looking for an affordable way to escape civilization and enjoy
the great outdoors weekend camping is the way to go. All the Pennsylvania
state and federal parks regulate by law the areas in which camping
is allowed. This is done to protect the local environment from
inexperienced campers.
If you are like most campers you may prefer using one the developed
camp site because they usually come with bathrooms, utilities
and fire rings. Most of these type camping areas allow you to
pull your car right up to the site. For the more rugged campers
out there Pennsylvania also offers many back country camping sites.
You will need to hike into these spots and fires are not always
allowed so make sure you check with the local ranger station.
RV camping is also done throughout the state of Pennsylvania.
Not only can you park your RV at many of the camping grounding
in PA but many of the four season resort areas also offer RV overnight
plug areas. If you are thinking about hitting the open road with
your RV make sure you call ahead of time to reserve your parking
spot. Whether you are sleeping under the stars or in the confront
of your personal vehicle Pennsylvania campsites are available
for your entertainment.
