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.
Pine Ridge Campground sits at the geographic heart of South Central Pennsylvania. From your seasonal site, you can day-trip to Gettysburg (20 min), wine country (15 min), state parks (15 min), and even Raystown Lake (90 min) - then return to your peaceful mountain community every evening.
And because we're 100% seasonal, you're not surrounded by tourists. Your neighbors become friends over the April-October season, creating the camping community you've always wanted.
