Campsite #92 Introduce

Campsite #92 represents the quintessential Pennsylvania wilderness experience, tucked away in the serene landscapes of Landisburg. For local residents and outdoor enthusiasts from across the state, this site offers a rare opportunity to disconnect from the modern world and immerse oneself in the lush, rolling hills of Perry County. Unlike large commercial RV resorts, Campsite #92 is designed for those who value privacy, nature, and the simplicity of life under the forest canopy. It is a place where the sounds of the rustling leaves and local wildlife replace the hum of city life, providing a perfect backdrop for a weekend of reflection and outdoor adventure.

For Pennsylvanians who grew up exploring the state’s extensive forest systems, staying here feels like a return to the roots of traditional camping.

It serves as a quiet sanctuary for solo travelers looking for peace, or for small groups wanting a centralized home base for exploring the rugged terrain of south-central Pennsylvania.
