Starting in the spring, Pennsylvania State Parks will offer visitors new ways to enjoy the outdoors in comfort and style in their first-ever glamping accommodations.

The Commonwealth partnered with Timberline Glamping Company to develop 61 glamping sites across eight state parks. Online reservations are now open for spring 2026.

Glamping or glamorous camping combines the classic camping experience with modern amenities such as real beds, electricity and climate control.

“This new offering is another way we’re ensuring that our state parks remain welcoming and enjoyable for all Pennsylvanians,” said Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) Secretary Cindy 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. They currently offer glamping in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

What Visitors Can Expect

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.

Through this partnership, DCNR will receive a flat rate plus a share of revenue from Timberline’s operations, generating funds for additional park improvements. Timberline also works with local vendors to offer regionally sourced products and experiences, strengthening connections between parks and surrounding communities.

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.
