A wise man once said, "Don't throw shade, plant it!"🌳

In celebration of America's 250, our staff and others will have planted over 250 trees by the end of this year.

100 of which are planted throughout the campground in areas where shade was needed.

With careful consideration of the needs of the trees, we hope that campground guests will allow them to be undisturbed as they grow and establish a foothold for those to enjoy for years to come.

💲CHECK OUT THOSE PRICES!

Does anyone remember when a campsite at Pymatuning was only $1.50 a night for a family of four?

These photo copies of the original were brought in from a dedicated family of campers who have been staying with us for many years.

If you have any old photos, brochures, maps, etc. we would be happy to see them. Share them in the comments or stop in the office or nature center during open hours.
