Pennsylvania’s first-ever glamping accommodations in state parks – offer visitors new ways to enjoy the outdoors with comfort and style.

Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn joined Timberline Glamping Company at French Creek State Park this week to talk about the expansion, which will add 61 glamping sites across eight state parks in scenic regions throughout the Commonwealth. Online reservations are now open for Spring 2026.

Glamping — short for “glamorous camping” — combines the classic Pennsylvania amping experience with modern amenities like real beds, electricity, and climate control.

“This new offering is another way we’re ensuring that our state parks remain welcoming nd enjoyable for all Pennsylvanians,” said 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.”

This marks Timberline’s first venture in the Northeast — and Pennsylvania will now host more Timberline glamping locations than any other state.

“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.”

Each Timberline glamping site features safari-style tents with real beds, heat and air conditioning, lighting, décor, and outdoor seating. Each park with glamping sites will include one ADA-accessible tent, ensuring access for all visitors.

Guests can book one-night weekday stays or two-night weekend and holiday stays, with check-in at 3 p.m. and check-out at 10 a.m.

Add-ons include local experiences, firewood bundles, games, and gourmet s’mores kits, connecting visitors with local communities and businesses.

Glamping reservations for 2026 are now open at the following eight state parks, with availability based on each park’s season:

• Poe Valley – March 27–Dec. 12

• Hills Creek – May 1–Oct. 17

• Laurel Hill – April 10–Oct.17

• Pymatuning – April 10–Oct. 31

• Codorus – April 10–Oct. 31

• French Creek: Loop A – March 6–Dec. 31 and Loop B – April 24–Oct. 31

By expanding overnight accommodations, DCNR is fulfilling a goal of the state park

strategic plan, Penn’s Parks for All, to explore new types of overnight facilities that

respond to shifts in camping interests.

Pennsylvania state parks now offer a wide range of overnight accommodations,

including tent and glamping sites; RV full-service sites; yurts; rustic cabins with

fireplaces and modern cabins with heat and bathrooms; and the eco-lodge The Nature

Inn at Bald Eagle in Centre County.
