The best camping near Little Pine State Park guide

Overview

About

Little Pine State Park is far from its former adjective―little. In fact, it’s quite the opposite; it’s an expansive, two-thousand-acre span of the mountains Tiadaghton State Forest. Hugging the like-named lake’s pristine shorelines, you’ll be eager to break-in your newly bought hiking boots alongside the snaking fourteen-miles of pristine hiking trails; all of the hiking trails are well-marked and inundated with rich wildlife. And, once you’re done wearing-down the tread on those mentioned hiking boots, you can take refuge in either your pitched, primitive, or electrically-fed setup!

When to go

The ideal time to visit Little Pine State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer brings warm days perfect for water activities, while winter offers a quiet, frosty landscape. Avoid peak holiday weekends for a more tranquil experience, and always check for seasonal park advisories before planning your trip.

Know before you go

  • Check the weather forecast and dress appropriately for seasonal changes in Pennsylvania's climate.
  • Be aware of local wildlife and follow guidelines to ensure a safe encounter.
  • Little Pine State Park is open from dawn until dusk, plan your activities within these hours.
  • Remember to pack out all trash and leave the park as pristine as you found it.
  • For any updates on park closures or restrictions, visit the official Pennsylvania Department of Conservation & Natural Resources website.
