Go if

Summer or fall tent campers who want a shaded, quiet Pennsylvania forest experience and don't mind booking through ReserveAmerica will find the seasonal scores hold up well here.

Skip if

The hemlock infestation is a real unknown right now, if the canopy is a big draw for you, conditions on the ground may disappoint, and there's too little recent review evidence to know how far it's spread.
