If you have considered camping in the past but feel it's to expensive to give it a try, now might be your best time to give it a shot. As the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources has teamed up with Gander Mountain to offer first time campers all the gear and a two night stay at a participating state park for just twenty bucks. This is the 2nd year of the camping program. Of the state parks participating in our coverage are include: Black Moshannon, in Centre County; Laurel Hill in Somerset County and Parker Dam in Clearfield County. Reservations should be made by calling the park office directly. The program will run through early fall.
