Public Camp Grounds in the Pennsylvania State Forests

The Department of Forestry has developed and equipped eight public camp grounds in the State Forests for the use of automobile tourists. These camp grounds are equipped with a space for tents, a fireplace, a supply of pure water, two comfort stations, four garbage containers, four tables and eight benches. No permit will be granted to any person for any particular camp for more than ten days in one year. Occupancy, however, is limited to two days unless a permit is obtained for a longer period from a local State Forest officer. [286]
