Wine Touring Camping in Pennsylvania
Your Wine Country Base Camp
Seasonal RV camping with wine touring access
Adams County, Pennsylvania is emerging wine country - and Pine Ridge Campground puts you in the middle of it. The Adams County Pour Tour features 12+ wineries, breweries, and distilleries, most within 30 minutes of your seasonal campsite.
For wine enthusiasts who also love camping, this combination is perfect. Spend the afternoon tasting at local wineries, return to your mountain campsite, and enjoy your purchases around a campfire with mountain views. No designated driver stress - you're not going far.
The Adams County wine scene offers variety: award-winning fruit wines from the apple orchards, traditional grape wines from local vineyards, hard ciders, and even distilled spirits. Each winery has its own character, from rustic farm settings to polished tasting rooms.
As a seasonal camper, you can explore the entire Pour Tour systematically. Visit different wineries each weekend. Attend harvest events and wine festivals. Become a regular at your favorites. The seasonal format means you're not rushing to fit wineries into a single weekend trip.
Why Pine Ridge for Wine Touring?
Wine touring usually means hotels or B&Bs in wine country. Pine Ridge offers something different: combine wine exploration with mountain camping. After tastings, return to 2,050-foot elevation with cool breezes and star-filled skies.
The approach is safer too. With a campsite 20-30 minutes from most wineries, you're not driving far after tasting. Split visits between morning activities and afternoon wineries. Designate a driver or stick to small tastings - your camp is never far away.
