What are the best places for camping in Pennsylvania?
Living in Pennsylvania is a wild ride, especially when it comes to the weather. We’ve all experienced four seasons in a single day. That’s why there’s no point in holding off an adventure until later. Do it now. Whether you’re sweating through the hottest days of summer or shivering through a brutal winter, why not plan a camping trip? Here are several Pennsylvania state parks where you can camp all year round:
- Keystone State Park – Derry
- Black Moshannon State Park – Philipsburg
- Bald Eagle State Park – Howard
- Cowans Gap State Park – Fort Loudon
- Canoe Creek State Park – Hollidaysburg
Looking for no-reservation campsites in Pennsylvania? Some of our favorite campgrounds in PA that don't require a reservation include:
- Ravensburg State Park – Jersey Shore
- Colton Point State Park – Wellsboro
- Patterson State Park – Coudersport
- Sara’s Campground – Erie
- Riverside Campground – Montgomery, PA
Please note: “No reservations” means camping spots are available on a first come first serve basis. You may find a campground has no or little space or you may not find the kind of space where you want to pitch your tent. It all depends!
Finally, in terms of the best place for waterfront camping in Illinois, it doesn't get any better than Sara's Campground. It offers traditional RV camping, and the best part? You'll be just a short walk from the beach... but why walk when you can stay in a tent on the sandy beach? While you can reserve an RV spot, tent camping is first come first serve, and spaces tend to fill up quickly. Arrive early to snag a coveted spot on the beach... they go fast, as you can imagine. Of course, don't worry if you don't want to sleep on the beach. Wooded campsites, for tent and RV camping, are also an option!
