The Great Outdoors

It's a challenge to reach all the amazing places in the region in just one trip, but that shouldn’t stop you from hitting the road in your rental RV and having a great time. One of the stops that you should definitely make is Ricketts Glen State Park, one of the most incredible natural destinations in the state. Its most striking feature is a series of waterfalls, each of them attracting campers with their unique beauty, easily reached by following the Falls Trail System. When you get tired of hiking through the woods, go for a relaxing swim or a boat ride on Lake Jean. You can visit the park during the entire year, so don’t miss out on the excitement that comes with winter – snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling on dry land and ice skating and ice fishing on Lake Jean.Named after the Native American chief Woapalanne, Bald Eagle State Park is another spot that you can quickly get to in your rental motorhome near Riverside Campground. Nestled in the scenic Bald Eagle Valley, it centers on a reservoir great for swimming, boating, and fishing. The forests, fields, and wetlands that surround it offer a diverse landscape for hikers to explore and are home to many different species of wildlife. As with most of the state parks in the region, winter activities abound, from sledding and cross-country skiing to ice fishing and ice skating.In addition to state parks, Pennsylvania has acres of forests waiting for adventurers to explore them and reconnect with nature. One of them is Allegheny National Forest, a giant located a few hours' drive to the northwest of the campground. It will definitely take you more than one day to reach all its fabulous spots, which makes camping with an RV the best way to experience its hiking trails, scenic valleys, and steep hills. If you would rather spend time on the water, you are in for a world of fun, from swimming and sunbathing next to the Allegheny Reservoir to slowly floating down the Allegheny and Clarion Wild and Scenic Rivers and taking in the surrounding scenery.

It is divided into several galleries, showcasing thousands of objects, including photographs, manuscripts, and other documents from the period. There is also an extensive collection of artifacts, from weapons and uniforms to the personal effects of the soldiers.Combining the city’s past and present, the Pennsylvania State Capitol is another landmark you should pay a visit to. The sculptures, murals, and stained-glass windows you will find inside add an artistic touch to its rich historical treasures. The State Library and the State Museum of Pennsylvania are also parts of the Capitol Complex, making your visit even more interesting.If you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy some fun family time, travel a short distance to Hersheypark.

Questions about RVs?

Q.

What type of RV should I choose?

A.

Start by determining how many people are planning to travel with you. Going on a solo-journey? Choose a camper van or a teardrop trailer. Bringing the whole family along for the ride? Consider a spacious Class A or five-wheel.

You’ll also want to consider amenities. For example, if you’re planning to cook on the road, you’ll want a kitchenette. If your campground doesn’t have public restrooms, you’ll want to search RVs with bathrooms. Check out full descriptions of our models to help you decide here.


Q.

Do the RVs have bathrooms?

A.

Yes. Class A’s, Class B’s, and Class C’s and five-Wheels typically have bathrooms. Depending on where you plan on camping, you’ll want to double-check the availability of restrooms if selecting a rig without a bathroom. Nervous about renting an RV with a bathroom? Owners can help show you how to clean the tank or will offer to do it for you for a fee.


Q.

How does check-in work?

A.

Once an Owner approves your RV reservation, you can coordinate a time to pick up your rig or have it delivered to your doorstep or campsite. At that point, the owner will do a key exchange with you and walk you through the RV and answer any questions you might have.
