It's the time of year for camping. Many families are looking for great places to camp close to home. The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources has a lot of information on camping in Pennsylvania State Parks. Many of the listings below are in Central and Western PA but, French Creek State Park is located just a short distance away in Elverson, PA and offers great hiking, biking and boating. For more information on camping visit the PA Department of Resources website.
