Cool surprise meeting....

Looks like a lot of state park as well as non state park options in eastern PA...might have to try and PM PaHunter and "wake him up" for some input...or perhaps you have an opinion Paul?

I tried as well looking on states website for Pa state parks. Those that do allow camping tend to have very limited Full Hook up sites But seem to have plenty with water and electric and dump station. There is one place we had a brochure 4 called Otter Lake looks like it could work

My Camping in PA has been relatively limited. We had a local campground we always went to when I was a kid http://www.stonymtcampground.com/ in in Tunkhannock PA (Go ahead... Try and pronounce it! Just to ease your mind it's Tunk -like Trunk without the R, Han -like Hand without the D - Nock like Knock). When we went as kids, we always went with a very primative Pop-up (No electric, water, sewer, gas, nothing but beds on the wings and a Table that collapsed into a bed). Mom and Dad slept in a Canvas Tent (actual HEAVY canvans). I loved it too, but we didn't have any utilities on site. They do/did have water and electric site but I don't think they had sewer on site. They did have a dump site. They also used to come through with the Honey Pot truck too. There really is not much to do outside of the campground. It's out in the country. But it is (or at least was as I haven't been there in years) a nice campground to enjoy nature.

We have also stayed at Knoebels Park Campground http://www.knoebels.com/stay/stay-at-knoebels. They have Electric at the sites but no water or sewer. You have to drive to the dump/fill stations for that. They also Rack/Stack them, particularly on the holidays. We only stayed there once and it was more for convenience as it's walking distance to the park http://www.knoebels.com/ which is a very nice amusement park (No admission or parking fee either). There are other campgrounds in the area but not walking distance to this park. Lake Glory Campground http://www.knoebels.com/stay/lake-glory-campground is down the road a few miles and they do have a shuttle between the park and campground. I have never stayed there though. We have driven through it though. It seems nice enough. They do apparently have sites from Primitive to full water/sewer/electric. There is also J&D Campground http://www.jdcampground.com/ down the road from Knoebels. This is a nice campground that we have stayed out. Not quite as cramped as Knoebel's campground, but no shuttle to the park. It's about a 5 minute drive to the park and again the park does have free parking. We have stayed here and they do have full hookups.

I know there are a lot of state parks around as well. Another thought could also revolve around the Hershey PA's RV show http://www.prvca.org/default.aspx?tabid=59 and of course there is Hershey Park. I don't know anything about the campgrounds in that area, I know there are some in that area but again, I don't know anything about them.

The Poconos are a beautiful area as well.... Nascar Fans I am sure know about the Pocono's Raceways as well.

Well since NJ dis boarders were not invited we are not going to bring our ball to the game. We will take bets on it like Tony Saprano would. LOL PA meet up would work for me. I am waiting to run into PA hunter or Peg110 at Knoebel's one day. The Poconos are nice.

Oh great now the secrets out and all the Jerseyites will want to come. Just please leave the state birds ie mosquito and green head flies at home please. If you know of a good CG drop the info on us so we can all discuss and find place that works for most peoples

@sirenia88 You're from New Jersey? What Exit? (sorry couldn't resist.) I could lay out a bunch of "Jersey" jokes, but I'll be nice as I am sure you have just as many PA jokes.

Anyway, maybe there needs to be another "Method" to identify the "Disboard" members? At the Fort (or other campgrounds, I guess) we have our "Signs"


We need a "Pin" or similar so that as you travel around we can "identify" this unique (wacky, wild but wonderful) group of folks. That way when I am walking through Knoebels I can identify when I cross paths with sirenia88 or even PaHunter.

Alan, Sirenia88, is a pretty nice guy. Met him last year during the October visit. His daughter is always on the move. "Hurry up dad!" was her slogan. I guess when a bunch of us get together it makes all the kids groan.
