Pennsylvania is a state forest state, and the forest roads are open to a licensed vehicle

Take the federal number first, because it sets the shape of a trip here. The Congressional Research Service puts federal ownership in Pennsylvania at 608,796 acres out of 28,804,480, which is 2.1 percent, and the Bureau of Land Management row is zero. The Forest Service holds 514,183 of those acres, and almost all of it is one forest, the Allegheny. The Park Service has 53,876, the Department of Defense 24,840 and the Fish and Wildlife Service 15,897. Our build of the federal campground database finds 32 places in the whole state that a vehicle can drive into.
