The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) says they’ve seen a nearly 30 percent increase in campsite reservations compared to last year.
As of March 31, 2025, DCNR says 24% of campsites across the state’s 124 parks and 20 forests have already been reserved for the peak season between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
The most popular destinations include locations with large lakes, such as Prince Gallitzin, Bald Eagle, Greenwood Furnace, and Trough Creek state parks.
Trough Creek State Park in Huntingdon County has seen a 189% spike in reservations in March compared to last year.
“Pennsylvanians and visitors alike are embracing the outdoors like never before,” said DCNR Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn. “With increased demand for camping, we encourage everyone to plan ahead and take advantage of the many beautiful sites still available.”
Campsites and lodging at state parks can be reserved at visitPAparks.com or by calling 888-PA-PARKS.
