Looking for recommendations for camping in Pennsylvania

[Lisa_M]

This summer our family would like to go camping in Pennsylvania and I was wondering if anyone here could recommend a place? I camped as child, but DH really isn't into the tent thing (or camping), so I would need to find a place that rents cabins or trailers. I'm trying to get DH to enjoy camping so eventually we can get a pop up trailer.
Thanks for your help!

There's a group of us trying to get together in Gettysburg in late June at a place called Drummer Boy. I have not been before, so can't comment first hand, but it does come highly rated!

I have used the following web-site to make plans in the past, finding an area that we want to go to and seeing what is listed. Not all campgrounds are listed, but it's a great start. Then you can sometimes check out other people's opinions using the links that pop-up in the balloon when you select a location:

The only place I have ever camped at in PA was along the Delaware Water Gap and we enjoyed our stay. It was in a tent though, and no cabins were available. Some nice waterfalls to hike to.

Also, not sure if you are looking to have the campground be the destination or a place to stay while checking out other sites nearby? There are some nice family style amusement parks in PA that might be worth looking at while there. Places like Knoebel's (which has a campground connected to it where you can walk to the park), Dorney Park and Hershey to name a few
