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! 

Meadville KOA Campground is offering one night of camping for $20, when campers buy one night of camping at the regular spring time rate on May 11th & 12th.  You can read more about it at https://meadvillekoa.com/themed-weekends/.  Or call us at 814-789-3251 to make your reservations today!  (Sorry, but this discount offer does not apply to our cabin rentals). 

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.   

If you are interested in owning your own RV, you can visit any one of the Western PA RV Dealers!  You can find them at: https://meadvillekoa.com/rv-dealers/.  Or, if you want an RV dealer in another part of PA, you can find one at:  PA Recreation Vehicle & Camping Association RV Dealerships.  You can request a free Explore PA Membership Directory by calling 1-888-303-2887 or, you can find them online at: http://www.prvca.org.  What will you discover in your new RV? 

Camping & RVing are a great way to get your family outside to appreciate nature and to provide your family an affordable vacation.  Pennsylvania RV dealers offer a wide range of RV’s to meet your family’s camping and RVing needs!

Campgrounds offer a wide range of activities, events, and entertainment.  Your family can enjoy a wagon ride, a campfire, go fishing, and have the ability to explore the surrounding area, attend local events, fairs, festivals, and much more!
