RV rental Johnstown Flood National Memorial, PA: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Once your explorations of Johnstown Flood National Memorial are complete, fuel up the South Fork campervan rental and head south to Gallitzin State Forest. It's a popular destination for numerous outdoor activities such as hiking, picnicking, and mountain bike riding, to name a few. It's a working forest that provides habitat for wildlife and timber resources in addition to recreation. Following the forest trails through trees and sparse undergrowth, you'll have a good chance of witnessing some of the birds and mammals that call the park home. Fishing and hunting are also allowed. Laurel Ridge State Park is another place to check out while RV camping near South Fork. The state park is named after the mountain ridge it's located on, spanning several different counties. Its main claim to fame is the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail, a mesmerizing hiking and backpacking path, but there is more to the park than this. The landscape is a kaleidoscope of shapes and shifting colors that change with the passing seasons. It can be just as breathtaking blanketed in snow as it is in the spring, summer, and fall. Mountain laurel and rhododendron are some of the flower species on hand (these bloom in the summer). Raystown Lake Recreation Area is a human-made lake that was built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, one of the largest within the state of Pennsylvania. Visitors come to the lake in large numbers for the panoramic views as much as for the recreational opportunities. The lake was built to control flooding and produce hydropower, but it is managed to provide an optimum fishing experience. The hills surrounding the lake are wooded in select areas and have trails where you can hike and mountain bike. Camping and hunting are allowed within the park.
