5/17/04 - The length of the camping season will be reduced. It begins the first Friday in May ends the last Sunday in September.

I just called to ask about this and they have no idea what I'm talking about.  I already have reservations for October!!

I wondered about that too.  I have reservations for Columbus day weekend in October.  I am guessing that the early closing of the campground is only for one park, but the name was not listed.

Oh great, we have reservations at three of those SP's this summer.

What a shame too, because PA seems to really care about their SP's...

Oddly enough I received notice today about the Pennsylvania RV & Camping show (if you ask me way too early for the notice) which is scheduled for Sept 7th & 8th (for trade/industry days) and 9th, 10th, & 11th open for the public....

If you are planning on getting a hotel room or camp site in the area you need to know the dates early so that you can get a room/site.  This show is the biggest in the country and spaces fill up fast.  If you have never been to the show you can't appreciate how many people attend.

I hate to burst your bubble, but they inform everyone on their mail list.

Is this the Harrisburg show? If so, you're right; that is a HUGE show. We went last year, and 8 hours wasn't enough time.

Yes we are talking about the Harrisburg show.
