Campgrounds in PA - Pet Friendly Campgrounds

re: pet friendly campgrounds

Jay M.: My wife and I are looking for Pennsylvania campgrounds that allow dogs...
I could not find any information pet friendly sites. Do you know of a source for this type
of information information?

CampingPA: We have contacted numerous campgrounds regarding their policies on allowing pets. Most responded positively as long as campers keep proper "petiquette" in mind.
