May is Pennsylvania Recreation Vehicle & Camping Month!

May is Pennsylvania Recreation Vehicle & Camping Month!

Tom Wolf, Governor of Pennsylvania, has designated May as Pennsylvania Recreation Vehicle and Camping Month.  The month is designed to introduce non-campers to camping in the great outdoors of Pennsylvania.  For the past nineteen years the Governor of Pennsylvania has proclaimed May as Recreation Vehicle and Camping Month.   

Pennsylvania has so much to offer tourists with its unique sites, history, and culture. It is also the third leading manufacturer of RVs in the nation and hosts the industries largest trade and retail show in the country at the Hershey Park Entertainment & Resorts Complex ®. The Governor encourages all citizens to pursue their passions and escape with their families on the road across the farthest reaches of our state.

Pennsylvania Campground Owners Association (PCOA) produces a free printed and online PA Camping directory.  You can request a printed one by calling 888-660-7262 or visit the PCOA online directory at www.pacamping.com. 

Many first-time Pennsylvania campers will find discounts at PA campgrounds during the Month.  If you don’t own an RV, you can still enjoy camping at many campgrounds that offer camping cabins or rental units, which are also listed online at https://gocampingpa.com/cabins/.  Cabins can range from primitive camping cabins with just beds to full service deluxe lodging with kitchens and bathrooms.  There are also a host of campgrounds which offer yurts, teepees, covered wagons, tree houses, and many more unique lodging opportunities for a a fun get away with your kids!

Many campgrounds across Pennsylvania also offer seasonal and extended stay camping.  Seasonal or extended stay RVing simply means that you can park you RV at their park for a month, several months, or for the entire camping season!  This makes a great way to spend more time with your family enjoying your RV and less time doing all the work of RVing.
