Campground Rehabilitation Project Update

Beginning in 2027, the campground at Gifford Pinchot State Park is undergoing a major shower house renovation project. During this time, portions of the campground will be temporarily closed while other areas remain open as work is completed in phases. DCNR is replacing outdated shower and restroom facilities with new, modern, and accessible amenities. The sites which are impacted during this phased project are blocked for reservations on our system. If you see a site is open when you would like to visit, it is not currently impacted by the shower house project.
