I would like to get one last camping trip in this year, towards the end of October.
Any suggestions or recommendations of places where it won't be too terribly cold at night?
I am in New Jersey, boyfriend is in PA (near Harrisburg). We're looking for a weekend so no more than maybe 3-4hrs away so that would be much of PA & MD, all of NJ, parts of NY, and the easter part of WV.
I appreciate it.
We have tent & gear but would consider one of those cabin rentals in order to not freeze.
THANKS!!

oh...awesome! i'm from the tri-state (PA MD WV) area and there is some really wodnerful camping in that area.
of course, anywhere you set up on the appalachain trail is nice, however, i prefer camping in a tent with a nearby indoor plumbing source:) i like to rough it, but not too much!
my favorite place, hands down, is called rocky gap.

there are individual campsites with table and fire pit and you can use your tent and your car can back right up to it! OR you can rent mini cabins.....
there are sites right by the lake, so you wake up and cook breakfast while you're looking out at the water...it's sooo nice!
i think last time we went it was end of september, early october and it was cool, but nothing some heavy blankets and sweatshirts can't handle...especially with as warm as the weather has been lately.
so, there's rocky gap....highly recommended.
also, i can recommend lots of camping around the state college, PA and altoona, PA areas!
whipple dam is great place to camp, but we camped there very off trail and so, i'm not too familiar with the main areas. we pretty much drove and found a clearing, parked the car and walked until we found space to pitch the tent!
however, it's beautiful and can make a GREAT vacation. oh, and if you plan it right...maybe catch a PSU football game that weekend!!!!

have fun!
P.S.
both of these locales are not too far from harrisburg....now, NJ is another story, but you can take 81 from harrisburg either way and get close to these places:)

Nestled among thousand's of acres of county and state park lands, there's never a lack of things to do and see. Besides hiking trails, there is a lake to fish in (16 years old and over requires a NJ Fishing License). Rent a boat and explore the lake. Cabins, lean-tos and tent sites make wonderful places to camp in, and there's lots of wonderful scenery to enjoy. A sports field, campfire ring and an amphitheater provide places to hold outdoor events. A Dining Hall (with a kitchen) may be used for indoor events and meals. Bathroom facilities at campsites consist of latrines in keeping with the camp's rustic mode. Flush toilets are located off the parking lot. In the winter, wood stoves in the cabins will keep you warm. Many of the cabins also have electricity. In warmer weather, play sports and games in Mary Post field.
