Kate,

PA has a decent system for their state parks.  Check on the web under:

http://www.state.pa.us/

We stayed in Hickory Run State Park recently for a music festival and it was
quite nice.

I did some winter wildcountry backpacking in the Allegheny National Forest,
which was spectacular, but even a Syncro couldn't go where we went.  I imagine
there are good places to vehicle camp though.  PA is a big state...I think you
need to decide where you want to go.

BTW, we're hosting Busses by the Trail, a VW campout October 15-17, in
Lenhartsville, between Harrisburg and Allentown:

Also, there's a semi-organized group of eastern PA people (pavanagon) that we
hope to do stuff with:
