"Glamping" now available at Poe Valley State Park

Glamping - short for "glamorous camping" - combines the classic Pennsylvania camping experience with modern amenities like real beds, electricity, and climate control.

The Shapiro Administration announced the debut of Pennsylvania's first-ever glamping accommodations in state parks - offering visitors new ways to enjoy the outdoors with comfort and style.

"This new offering is another way we're ensuring that our state parks remain welcoming and enjoyable for all Pennsylvanians," said Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR)Secretary Dunn. "By transforming underused campsites into beautiful glamping experiences, we're expanding overnight options in a way that's affordable, sustainable, and beneficial to local communities. These are truly places where adventure feels like home."

“Pennsylvania has always been where families come to connect with nature and each other around campfires and under the stars,” said Anne Ryan, Deputy Secretary of the Pennsylvania Tourism Office. “Now, with glamping, we’re expanding that tradition to welcome travelers who want the magic of the outdoors with modern comfort and convenience.”
