Seasonal Camping Near Waynesboro PA
100% Seasonal RV Campground in Michaux State Forest
Waynesboro sits at the gateway to the mountains, where the Cumberland Valley meets the Blue Ridge. You can see the ridgeline from town, tempting you with the promise of forest roads, mountain trails, and cooler temperatures. Pine Ridge Campground is just 35 minutes into those mountains, waiting to become your seasonal escape.
For Waynesboro residents, the appeal is obvious: you already live near the mountains, but seasonal camping lets you truly live IN them. No more day trips that end too soon. No more wishing you could stay for the sunset. With a seasonal site at Pine Ridge, the mountains become your second home from April through October.
The Waynesboro community values its natural surroundings - the Antietam watershed, the Appalachian Trail, the Michaux State Forest lands. Pine Ridge extends that connection, offering a deeper immersion in mountain living while remaining close enough for convenient access. It's not just camping; it's becoming part of a mountain community.
