The best dog-friendly camping in Pennsylvania

·

For a pet-friendly camping trip in Pennsylvania, you'll have your pick of yurts, cabin rentals, RV sites, and good old tent camping sites. Most Pennsylvania state parks set aside sites for campers with pets so furry friends have plenty of room to play—so long as they're leashed. At private campsites you can get a bit more freedom—and you may even befriend other campers while your dog makes some new friends of their own. Some pet-friendly campsites in Pennsylvania feature communal picnic sites, outdoor fire pits, and recreation areas, but if your dog is big on swimming, you can head to Lake Erie to experiment with paddle boarding and kayaking—or play it safe with games of fetch along the sandy shoreline. Black Moshannon State Park is another top spot with modern pet-friendly cabins overlooking a lake. Whether you're exploring the Pennsylvania wilds outside Philly, Pittsburgh, or Hershey, neither your dog—nor you—will be begging for more options. Treats on the other hand…

Pine Grove, PA · 10 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
The 66-acre property has been licensed as an airport (PS20) since the 1980s. It is currently an active, private airport. We don't sell fuel or offer services beyond camping so we primarily have only air traffic with few to no landings each year. In other words, it is very quiet here except during the occasional low pass. We are very eager for pilots to fly in and camp out! The beautiful sunsets and stargazing night skies are a real treat for anyone that comes to visit. Lots of deer, birds, and other wildlife can be seen out and about. Bring your telescope and binoculars to view all the property has to offer! Note that we are always working to improve our slice of heaven, thus we do have tools, vehicles, and equipment stored around the farm that if not used now will be one day. We appreciate your understanding that some areas are used for our personal / farm storage. If you're not into looking at our farmware, there are a few nearby campgrounds. The hot tub is located next to the owner's home. Guests are welcome to use this at any time but must reserve and pay for a time slot. * Book this through the Extras * We are within walking distance of Swatara State Park and close to the Appalachian Trail. Short drive to the local winery, bowling alley, pub/diner, and movie theater. Grocery stores and gas are also nearby. Miles of hiking, rail trail, single-track mountain biking, and kayaking are all right here! See our kayak and bike rentals under extras! Hershey Park is approximately a 30-minute drive from our location. Rausch Creek, Anthracite, and Reading off-road areas are also nearby. Note: Monthly rental discounts are available. Work-stay exchange programs are available. We are always looking for good reliable part-time help on the farm! Please ask! Fall leaves colors are looking awesome! Come enjoy the leaves by day and stars by night beside your campfire! Follow us on Instagram: @fairview_farms_airfield

My grandfather bought this farm back in the 1960s, and I’m proud to be the third generation caring for it today. We have about 80 acres in total—I lease out around 70, and keep 10 acres just for myself to enjoy and build on.
