What to Take Pets in Campgrounds Pets have not been permitted in Pennsylvania State Park campgrounds for many years. In the summer of 2001, nine state parks are going to allow pets in a trial program. Well-mannered house pets and caged pets will be able to stay in campgrounds with their responsible owners. Go to pets in campgrounds for more information. Two state parks offer backpacking, three state parks offer tent camping only, and 50 state parks offer camping for most types of camping equipment.
Some campgrounds have electric hookups and showers, while some are primitive.
Some campgrounds have walk-in sites to give more privacy. Use the Campground Locations and Facilities page to help you pick the state park campground that is perfect for you. Most campsites are available through advance reservations. Although not required, reservations are recommended. Because most campsites are available for reservation, it is important to plan the length of your vacation.
