About Group Campgrounds in Pennsylvania

Group camping in Pennsylvania offers an exceptional blend of natural beauty, well-maintained facilities, and diverse landscapes perfect for bringing friends and family together in the great outdoors. From the ancient forests of the Allegheny National Forest to the pristine lakes of the Laurel Highlands, Pennsylvania's state parks and recreation areas provide some of the most accommodating group camping experiences in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Best Time

Late spring through early fall (May through October) offers the most reliable weather for group camping in Pennsylvania, with June through August being peak season when all facilities operate at full capacity. Summer provides warm temperatures ideal for lake activities, though popular parks like Moraine State Park and Nockamixon State Park can be crowded on weekends—weekday visits offer more solitude.

Tips & Recommendations

  • 1Reserve group sites well in advance through the Pennsylvania state park reservation system, as popular locations like Laurel Hill and Cherry Springs book up to 11 months ahead for summer weekends.
  • 2Confirm your exact headcount when booking, as most sites have strict capacity limits and additional fees for exceeding them.
  • 3Bring extra tarps and rain gear regardless of forecast—Pennsylvania weather can change quickly, especially in mountainous regions.
  • 4For lakeside parks like Moraine and Yellow Creek, pack life jackets for all group members and consider renting kayaks or paddleboards in advance during peak season.
