Memorial Day Camping Weekend in Pennsylvania's "Grand Canyon"

Details

Is the real Grand Canyon too hot and too deep for you? Then perhaps the Pine Creek Gorge is more your style. At a mere 1000' deep and easily accessible by car, boat or bike, it offers breathtaking views without leaving (most of us) short of breath. I visited this are several years ago but the water was too low for paddling. I'm eager to change that and figure Memorial Day weekend is the perfect opportunity.

IMPORTANT: We do not have a group site this year, but several campsites are still available clustered together. BOOK THIS WEEK if you plan to attend. I have site 56 from Thursday through Monday morning. I strongly advise people to grab #49 and #50 as those are the remaining nearby tent sites. #57, 58, and 74 also look like good prospects. There is a map on the reservation page that you can click to expand.

Reserve your site at Little Pine State Park here.

I'm still formulating an itinerary but presume it will involved a downstream trip through the gorge and probably and up-and-back on Little Pine Creek, starting from within the park. Stay tuned.

Post your campsite number in the comments once you reserve!
