Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Gifford Pinchot State Park stretches for 2,338 acres throughout northern York County, anchored around beautiful 340-acre Pinchot Lake, one of the state's best spots for bass fishing. Much of the park's grounds remain undeveloped today, traversed by several lovely nature trails, including the charming Mason-Dixon Trail, which offers opportunities for wildlife watching. 289 visitor-use campsites are showcased throughout the park's southern end, one of the largest public state park campgrounds in Pennsylvania. Campsites are open to the public mid-April through October, offering full-service electric hookups with potable water. All sites can accommodate any type of camping equipment, ranging from tents to large motor homes. A children's playground is offered for visitor use, along with a volleyball court and horsehoe pits.
