That is how I scout campsites and drivable trails. Spend the night in a Motel with a pool so the wife and kids are interested in tagging along and there is very little chance of finding campsites occupied.

After a few years researching and sharing info about "overlanding" in PA I made some friends...and this past weekend got to meet them in real life. And after years of being asked questions about where to go, I lead a group in a trail ride. @DesmosDromos of Moods of Overland YouTube was a long...

After years of researching and mapping and camping and scouting Central PA, I finally got to meet the people who have been communicating with me about the hobby for years I was offered a chance to attend the Mid Atlantic Overland Festival and help out in the Purple Lizard Maps vendor tent...

I have been very behind on my updates! Been an awesome adventure season this year. I never really was an "overlander", but this is a great place for one. We camped 7 nights here and it very well may be the best trip we had been on. We scouted the forest out back in winter! But, we just got...

Any one going to be at MAOF (Mid Atlantic Overland Festival) near Huntingdon, PA? Looks like I may be able to make it for Saturday into Sunday! Hope everyone is having a great adventure season. We just spent 21 days camping and exploring in PA State Forests. 7 days in Tuscarora, 7 days in...

Anyone going this year? Hoping to be there Saturday into Sunday!

Another beautiful day camping off pavement in the forest!

For sure, @MuckSavage Three springs is just north of this site and McConnellsburg just south. Three Springs is about the halfway point from Tuscarora to here. We spent the first 7 days there, we are heading to Forbes on Sunday.

Finally made it to Buchanan! On day 3 of a 7 day trip. Just a camping trip, off pavement! (This is actually day 10 of a 21 day trip) Love the site! It is just off the road but pretty secluded overall. When we scouted it out we were a bit concerned about shade...but, I got the camper set in...

Judging by the fact that all the most popular sites are reserved, the new reservation system has made it easier to overland in PA and also didn't push near the right amount of people away from them. I understand it is a holiday weekend...but last year there were many open spots, and in years...

Pennsylvania switched from free state forest camping to a fee. With Allegheny still being free, a lot of people will be heading there this season. An Hour away is the same as 10 minutes here in God's Country. People will travel 4 plus Hours from the city centers in the east just to spend one...

If you have a GPS app you use, check the Motor Vehicle Use Map (USDA) tiled overlay. It will show you the trails you can be on. You can also download the map from the forest service or get it at any of the visitor centers in the area. Avenza Maps also has the map for free. As far as...

64 is a better site in my opinion...but 65 is better than 66...lol. Get Purple Lizard Maps of you haven't already. They make this a piece of cake.

Hey Chris,. Our Jeep Cute Ute has been all over Bald Eagle State Forest. Search my name and you will find lots of info for Bald Eagle and the surrounding forests. Glad to see ya here.

I adventure with my truck in the forest. Sorry! That is all I do. Can I stay?
