Yes. For our state parks it has been in use since 2014. But , our free sites just went to the fee and the site. I feel it was a necessary evil and is actually going to be great in the long run. But, we know how some love change
The good far outweighs the bad in my opinion.
I much prefer having a reservation and to know what site I am arriving to.
You can go to the Allegheny National Forest and it is first come first serve, but with the popularity of this hobby, you may be searching for a site and probably not getting any of the ones you wanted.
Other than the...
That is when the reservation window ends.
With state parks, you can stay one night in the honor system. You pay in an envelope in a lock box.
They were rumored to allow this for the sites, but so far...that has not been established.
Before, you had to request the permit 3 days in advance...

The formerly free sites are now 10 bucks a night, but the reservation process has become much easier.

The main route is 90 percent off pavement. The Blue and Red. Mostly the main forest roads. The only pavement is secondary roads...most do not even have lines on them.

I plan to stay...
Found something to do with maps(my favorite thing)

@Dusther210 was trying to post some of my routes.
I unfortunately can not access the SD card they are on anymore. I have them shared on Facebook...and a member here posted slot of them in one big dump.
I really dislike electronic devices, so most of my information is logged on paper maps and...
I am buying tires in the next week or 2...then I plan to spend the weekend adventuring through Rothrock and Bald Eagle. I have not been in the forest for about a month...withdrawal is terrible....State Park adventuring just isn't the same
Old Lancaster Valley gate is now back up.
And early on in the year a fellow adventurer noticed a gate on Kammardiner Rd. Mike and the lizard team added it to the 4th edition also.
I have not been in BESF in some time. Guess it is time to head back with the new map.

I need to figure a better way to do this. I tried doing it by forest...but man it gets confusing...I am suffering greatly from being 45...memory sucks.
So, I did a search today looking for skuttlebutt about the site changes in PA, and found where I borrowed site information from.
As he has updated with new information. I seen I was called out for a question about sites in the central District of Tuscarora.
