EXPLORE CAMPING AND OUTDOOR RECREATION AT PA’S STATE PARKS AND FORESTS
With some federal campgrounds closing due to staffing shortages, the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources encourages visitors to explore Pennsylvania’s state parks and forests for camping and outdoor recreation, which are open and ready for visitors.
Pennsylvania offers 124 state parks and 2.2 million acres of forests with over 7,100 campsites, hiking trails, and various outdoor activities, ALL WITH NO ENTRY FEES.
Pennsylvania has made significant investments in state lands, including a $112 million boost for parks and forest infrastructure improvements. This funding has supported campground upgrades and facility reopenings to enhance visitor experiences.
Camping reservations can be made online at visitPAparks.com or by calling 888-PA-PARKS. More information on outdoor activities is available at dcnr.pa.gov.
