The best camping in Pennsylvania with surfing

·

Surf’s up in Pennsylvania—yes, really. If you’re looking to camp near surf-friendly spots, you’ll find over 40 options across the state, each with easy access to river waves and lake breaks. Expect average nightly rates around $65, with some sites starting right at that price. Top pick? Camp Bandur (46 reviews) draws regulars for its reliable surf, quick access to hiking trails, and solid basics like toilets, showers, and pet-friendly policies. Beyond the water, you can hit nearby paths for hiking, go horseback riding, or try your luck fishing. Want practical advice? Pack for sudden weather shifts, double-check water access before booking, and don’t forget your leash if you’re bringing the dog.
