RV rental Punxsutawney, PA: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

If your primary motive for visiting Punxsutawney is to get out into nature, you are in luck. Western Pennsylvania is absolutely saturated with hunting areas, secluded fishing spots, state parks, lush forests, old mountain ranges, and scenic lakes that you can visit when you rent an RV. Moraine State Park is just one example of where you can spend part of your vacation, located a short drive to the west. This gorgeous park is named for the glacial moraines left behind thousands of years ago during the end of the last ice age. The park sits on the edge of Lake Arthur, so fishing, swimming, and boating are all possible. You can also go hunting, hiking, hot air ballooning, camping in your Punxsutawney campervan rental, or take part in the annual sailing regatta held in August. Prince Gallitzin State Park also has its own lake, and boating, swimming, and fishing are quite common here. There is a system of trails intertwining throughout the park, and ample space to have a picnic, mountain bike, hike, snowmobile, snowshoe, and more. Laurel Ridge State Park is south of Punxsutawney, and much smaller than most of the other state parks mentioned above, but nonetheless it is a fantastic place to visit when you rent an RV. The park contains part of the Laurel Ridge Hiking Trail, a splendid 70-mile trail that cuts through rich Pennsylvania wilderness. The largest forest in the state can be found an hour's drive north of Punxsutawney, in the sprawling Allegheny National Forest, covering half a million acres of northwestern Pennsylvania. This lovely forest shares a name with the Allegheny River which runs through the forest. Ninety percent of the national forest is covered in an actual forest, with a large percentage of it considered old growth. There is no limit to the fun you can have hiking or camping in the Allegheny National Forest, so be sure to include it in your Punxsutawney RV rental trip itinerary.
