The Smartest Way to Experience Pennsylvania
Most campers make the mistake of camping at their destination — fighting for sites, dealing with crowds, and limiting themselves to one area. Smart campers know the secret: find the perfect home base and day-trip everywhere.
From your seasonal site, day-trip to Gettysburg (30 min), wine country (15 min), state parks (15 min), and even Raystown Lake (90 min) — then return to your peaceful mountain community every evening.
Your neighbors become friends over the April–October season, creating the camping community you've always wanted.
