As winter drops its first round of snow across the States, many campers will start packing away their gear. But for some avid RVers, this is their favorite time of year — trading in the holiday madness for a life of adventure on the road.
Here at Juniata Valley RV, we’ve toured the great state of Pennsylvania once or twice, and we know a few things about the best campgrounds around.
