The 8 Best Camping Sites in Pennsylvania

Home to Punxsutawney Phil, Ringing Hill, the National Aviary, and the first zoological garden in the country, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has much more natural beauty than one might imagine. Philadelphia and its Philly cheesesteaks and Hershey, the chocolate capital of the United States, both call Pennsylvania home.
The Black Cherry Capital of the World and Amish country both add to the colorful collage of Pennsylvania’s culture and history, which is one of the oldest in the nation. The Appalachian Trail and its namesake mountains cut through the center of the state while 140 miles of coastline in Erie and along the Delaware River give a venue for watersports and swimming.
Pennsylvania is divided into five geographical regions: the Allegheny Plateau, Ridge and Valley, Atlantic Coastal Plain, Piedmont, and the Erie Plain. Scattered throughout these regions are a whopping 121 state parks that offer some of the nicest camping in New England.
From Lancaster County and Amish Country to the state’s east to Erie in the west, campers can revel in hunting, music festivals, tours, and much more, or they can hike around one of the many hiking trails. Many visitors prefer to camp in modern cabins or at chain campgrounds like KOA where there is usually a swimming pool and a camp store for purchasing basic provisions.

Modern cabins are available at many of Pennsylvania’s camping resorts.
Whatever way you choose to enjoy the humid continental climate of Pennsylvania, there are some features that are always desirable in a campsite. Modern conveniences like wifi and restrooms with flush toilets aren’t completely necessary for every camper, but in any case Pennsylvania has plenty of camping spots that have just the basics as well as those that have yurts for glamping and RV parks with full hookups. Camping resorts are also popular for those searching for family-friendly entertainment or outdoor fun that doesn’t involve too much distance from creature comforts.
Many come from all over the northeast and even from the farthest reaches of the U.S. to see the fall foliage in Pennsylvania. Some of the best camping happens when the fall foliage season and the really cold weather haven’t overlapped and campers can enjoy the backcountry while it’s on fire with the crisp reds and oranges of changing leaves.

How to Take Your Own Internet to Outdoor Events

You’ve got the permits, the lineup, the stage design, and the crowd — but when it comes to WiFi, outdoor events can turn from dream festivals to data dead zones in minutes. Reliable connectivity is now as essential as power or sound. Whether it’s a music festival streaming to TikTok, a food fair using mobile POS systems, or a corporate brand activation relying on live dashboards, the internet connection is what keeps the gears turning.
But the truth is this: counting on venue WiFi at a large outdoor event is a gamble. Hundreds of devices fighting for the same bandwidth can jam up the signal before the headliner gets on stage. Public networks only have one backhaul connection, so your production crew, security cameras, and vendors could all be fighting with concert-goers streaming YouTube in the crowd.
So, if your aspiration is to keep the event chugging along like clockwork, the genius move is to bring your own internet — designed specifically for the occasion, private, and controlled by your event staff.
Why Venue WiFi Fails When Crowds Arrive
Let’s start with the numbers. According to Cisco’s 2024 Annual Internet Report, the average person now connects four to six devices at live events — phones, wearables, tablets, scanners, and streaming gear. Multiply that by 5,000 or 50,000 people, and you’re looking at a digital traffic jam.
Outdoor locations have a very minimal amount of wired infrastructure. The majority utilize older systems or common fiber links, which were not designed for thousands of users at once. When the signal is over-stretched, latency increases, access points fail, and the network grinds to a halt.
For event organizers, this is not only inconvenient — it’s a safety and revenue gamble. POS terminals won’t work. QR ticket scanners crawl. Even backup communication programs freeze.
The Smarter Solution: Creating Your Own Network
Constructing a stand-alone network for an outside event may seem daunting, but technology has made it relatively achievable. Instead of relying on one provider or tower, professional crews now use several sources of the internet to deliver redundancy and stability.
Outdoor WiFi specialists use multi-carrier cellular bonding, satellite uplinks, and WAN smoothing to keep traffic consistent even when one source is down. It’s a lot like having several water pipes feed one tank — if one pipe gets stopped up, others keep the flow consistent.
The best configuration depends on three variables:
- Location: Urban park, remote valley, rooftop, or open desert all have different signal profiles and line-of-sight challenges.
- Bandwidth Demand: Are you providing power to a 50-person AV crew or streaming to a million online viewers?
- Duration: A day-long music festival versus a week-long brand tour will change the way you plan power, cooling, and redundancy.
Professional crews will often pre-deploy with site surveys — gauging carrier strength, spectrum congestion, and potential sources of interference such as LED walls or nearby broadcast towers.
Lessons from the Field
Outdoor WiFi would be a niche specialty, but in today’s world it’s simply part and parcel of modern event production. In the last decade, TradeShowInternet’s teams have helped support hundreds of big outdoor festivals and corporate activations, and there have been a few hard-won lessons along the way.
There was the time crews climbed a half mile up the flank of a Santa Fe mountain with over 200 pounds of gear to put in a solar-powered relay antenna for Red Bull’s Guinness World Record truck jump. A second assignment involved digging cable trenches through snake country in Los Angeles for Christian Dior’s fashion show.
When Univision taped La Banda on the beach in Miami, technicians climbed a 20-foot truss into a lightning storm to raise antennas. These are probably war stories, but they represent reality: each outdoor location introduces its own wildcards. Wind, weather, terrain, and local RF noise all push the limits of planning.
The lesson? Experience is as important as gear. Knowing when to use additional directional antennas, when to flip to satellite failover, or how to protect a router from 100-degree heat isn’t something you can read in a manual.
The Technical Side: How Redundant Networks Keep Events Alive
This is how seasoned outdoor internet crews engineer reliability into temporary networks:
Multi-Carrier Bonding: Equipment stitches together data from multiple cellular carriers (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.) to maximize bandwidth and fill signal gaps.
- WAN Smoothing: Packets are duplicated and relayed on secondary paths to prevent noticeable drops or hiccups in live streams.
- Satellite Integration: Especially when out at remote sites or in mountain events where cell phone reception is spotty.
- 5G + LTE Hybrid Units: Combining newer high-bandwidth 5G networks with more predictable LTE offers well-rounded throughput.
- Portable Mesh Access Points: Create overlapping areas of WiFi that eliminate dead spots across vast grounds or over tented locations.
- Power & Weather Protection: Ranging from Pelican case enclosures to solar power solutions, all of which ensure uptime regardless of adverse weather conditions.
It’s a multi-layer strategy — not one device straining the load, but several working in tandem to handle bandwidth, robustness, and coverage.
Why Your Vendors, AV Staff, and Guests All Need Their Own Network Layer
External events normally have three distinct user communities that require the internet:
- Production and AV Personnel – operation of live feeds, mixing panels, lighting, and communications programs.
- Vendors and POS Devices – card transaction processing, QR menus, and inventory software.
- Guests and Media – posting, uploading, or taking part in brand interaction activity.
Mixing them all on one open WiFi is risky. It provides security vulnerabilities and causes too much congestion. The preferred method is network segmentation, creating separate virtual networks that prioritize mission-critical traffic (production, POS, security cameras) and restrict non-mission-critical use like social browsing.
This is exactly how professional outdoor WiFi & Internet solution companies like TradeShowInternet build event systems. They design bespoke topologies that match the unique demands of every event, whether a food festival, marathon, or big corporate activation.
Budgeting and Planning: What Organizers Should Know
According to EventMB’s 2024 Event Technology Report, 73% of event planners say maintaining a reliable connection is important to attendee happiness, yet less than half have a standalone internet budget in place upfront while planning. That’s a recipe for last-minute scrambling.
For all to run smoothly, the network plan needs to be created alongside stage design and power planning — not an afterthought.
Some planning advice:
- Start early: Conduct site surveys at least 30 days ahead of the event.
- Prioritize wired backbones: Use fiber or Ethernet in production areas whenever possible.
- Segregate guest WiFi: Utilize bandwidth caps or sponsored captive portals to control usage.
- Redundancy: Cellular + satellite bonding is well worth the investment for mission-critical space.
- Post-event review: Collect performance data to inform next year’s plan.
Real-World Use Cases
Outdoor connectivity is not just for music festivals. It’s a necessity for:
- Marathons and triathlons – for timing chips, live maps, and emergency co-ordination.
- Outdoor conferences or summits – where executives require office-grade internet to make presentations.
- Food truck festivals and markets – all vendors need POS access.
- Film and TV productions – production villages rely on low-latency connections for uploads.
- Races and motorsport events – telemetry, live scoring, and media streaming.
Each of these environments needs a different trade-off among coverage area, upload speed, and mobility.
Why Experience Matters for Outdoor Internet Installations
Each outdoor location is unique. Trees, humidity, metal buildings, even bodies of water can affect wireless performance. Having individuals who’ve done hundreds of installations means fewer surprises and faster repairs when something unexpected happens.
That’s where TradeShowInternet, a leading outdoor WiFi & Internet solution company, comes in. The company has built up networks on deserts, beaches, helipads, mountain ridges, and pop-up brand villages — keeping organizers, vendors, and AV teams connected wherever the event is hosted.

Outdoor Event WiFi: The New Backbone of Open-Air Experiences

A concert in the canyon. A film night under desert stars. A bustling waterfront food festival with 10,000 guests. Across the country, outdoor events are turning parks, coastlines, forests, and fields into memorable destinations. But there’s one service now as essential as power, permits, and porta-potties: outdoor event WiFi.
Whether for ticket scanning, mobile POS systems, sponsor activations, or live-streaming performances, WiFi for outdoor events has become the invisible support that keeps everything running. Without it, payments stall, communication falters, and digital engagement stops.
Why Outdoor Event WiFi Is Mission-Critical
The outdoor events sector, from farmers’ markets to endurance races, is growing quickly. Allied Market Research predicts global festival revenues will exceed $50B by 2030. These venues offer unique charm, but they also pose a challenge: a lack of built-in internet infrastructure.
“Outside doesn’t mean offline,” says Emma Castillo, a production manager for festivals, film nights, and open-air corporate launches. “We rely on temporary internet for outdoor events to manage our security communications, allow vendors to keep selling, and ensure our livestreams don’t drop.”
Cellular service can struggle with the demands of thousands of devices. Some remote locations may not have any service at all. That’s where outdoor event WiFi solutions come in—portable, scalable, and designed for unpredictable weather.
How Outdoor Internet Keeps Events Moving
Today’s outdoor events rely on connectivity in ways that go far beyond letting guests post on social media:
- Mobile POS & Cashless Payments – No signal means lost revenue for vendors.
- RFID & Access Control – Real-time validation at gates and VIP areas.
- Streaming & Social Content – From TikTok reels to sponsor livestreams.
- Sponsor Engagement – QR contests, AR activations, and digital signage updates.
- Safety & Logistics – Staff communication, emergency alerts, GPS tracking.
A recent Event Manager Blog study found 63% of sponsors now require guaranteed internet access before committing. Attendees want it too; more than half say connectivity is a key factor in their event satisfaction.
Outdoor Event WiFi Solutions in Action: “Lights on the Lake”
In June, the lakeside town of Lakeshore hosted a three-day open-air film festival. The views were stunning, but no wired internet was available, and mobile service barely worked.
The technical crew set up:
- Multi-carrier 5G bonding for vendor and guest networks
- Long-range weatherproof access points covering the pier and food court
- A private secure network for organizers and emergency staff
- A satellite uplink for backup
The festival processed thousands of transactions, streamed Q&A sessions with international filmmakers, and even operated a live voting app without a single connectivity failure.
Industry Perspective: Connectivity as a Core Utility
According to WiFit founder Matt Cicek, changes in event technology priorities have been significant:
“Five years ago, internet at an outdoor event was seen as a nice-to-have. Now, it’s as essential as running water and electricity. From safety coordination to sponsor returns, there’s too much at stake to leave it to chance.”
The Future of Temporary Internet for Outdoor Events
As events become more complex, WiFi for outdoor events from service providers like WiFit will play an even larger role. Expect advancements like:
- Solar-powered network kits for sustainable operations
- AI-managed bandwidth that adjusts to real-time crowd size
- Edge computing for instant AR and interactive attractions
For event planners, the message is clear: the quality of your internet connection is as important as your stage, lighting, or sound system. The next time you’re booking a venue, remember—the crowd may be watching the performers, but they’re also looking at their screens. They expect both to work perfectly.

Gear You Should Snag for the Great Outdoors This Season

Outdoor enthusiasts know that having the right gear can make all the difference. Whether you’re hiking, camping, hunting, or engaging in any other outdoor activity, quality equipment ensures not only safety but also a better overall experience. As we head into a new season, it’s time to refresh your gear collection with essential items that will enhance your adventures. In this article, we’ll explore five pieces of must-have outdoor gear, focusing on both practicality and comfort.
Shooting Glasses Are Essential for Outdoor Adventures
If you’re heading out for a shooting range session or a hunting trip, investing in a quality pair of shooting glasses is non-negotiable. Eye protection is critical when engaging in any activity involving firearms, and shooting glasses are designed to keep your eyes safe from potential hazards like debris, shell casings, and even harmful UV rays.
Shooting glasses are a key safety measure that helps shield your eyes from impact and glare. The lenses are typically made from high-impact resistant materials that can endure tough conditions, making them a must-have for hunters, target shooters, and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Beyond safety, these glasses often come with polarized lenses to improve visibility in various lighting conditions. By incorporating shooting glasses into your outdoor gear, you’re ensuring not only better safety but also improved performance during your time in the wilderness.
What Should You Look For During Black Friday Hunting Gear Deals?
One of the best times to stock up on essential outdoor gear is during Black Friday. Black Friday hunting gear deals provide an opportunity for hunters to snag high-quality items at significantly reduced prices. Whether you’re after apparel, backpacks, or specialized equipment, Black Friday sales often feature steep discounts on top brands that every outdoor enthusiast should take advantage of.
This sale season is ideal for upgrading your hunting wardrobe and stocking up on essential gear that may normally be out of your price range. From weather-resistant jackets to durable boots and base layers, hunting gear can be pricey, and Black Friday is the perfect time to invest in the best equipment. By keeping an eye out for deals during this shopping period, you can save money while ensuring you’re well-prepared for your next big adventure.
Multi-Tools Are a Must-Have
Want to know the most versatile pieces of gear you can carry? It is a multi-tool. Whether you’re camping, hiking, or hunting, having a tool that can serve multiple functions is a game-changer. Multi-tools come equipped with a variety of features such as knives, screwdrivers, pliers, and scissors, all compactly housed in a single device that easily fits in your pocket or pack.
The practicality of a multi-tool is hard to beat. It allows you to tackle unexpected tasks, from cutting rope to repairing gear, all without needing to carry a full toolbox. When you’re out in the wild, you want to be prepared for anything, and a multi-tool ensures you’re ready to handle small emergencies or make quick fixes with ease.
Insulated Water Bottles Can Improve Your Outdoor Experience
Staying hydrated is one of the most important aspects of any outdoor activity. Whether you’re embarking on a long hike or spending hours in a hunting blind, having an insulated water bottle can make a difference. Insulated bottles have features that help to keep your drinks at the desired temperature for a long time, which is especially useful during extreme weather conditions.
These bottles maintain the temperature of your beverage—whether cold or hot—so you can enjoy refreshing water in the summer or a warm drink during chilly morning hunts. Insulated water bottles are also typically made from durable materials, meaning they can withstand the rigors of outdoor use without breaking or leaking. Investing in a high-quality insulated bottle ensures that you stay hydrated and comfortable throughout your outdoor excursions.
Durable Backpacks Can Enhance Your Outdoor Experience
A good backpack is the cornerstone of any successful outdoor trip. When you’re out in nature, you need a reliable, durable pack to carry all of your gear comfortably. Look for backpacks that are built to withstand harsh conditions, provide ample storage, and have ergonomic designs that distribute weight evenly to prevent strain on your back and shoulders.
Modern outdoor backpacks come equipped with multiple compartments to help you stay organized, as well as specialized features like hydration bladder compatibility, rain covers, and reinforced straps. By investing in a durable, well-designed backpack, you’ll have the capacity to carry everything you need—whether it’s extra clothing, food, or hunting gear—while maintaining comfort during long treks.
