Gifford Pinchot State Park to Saylorsburg, PA

We were on the road this morning at 11:15 after stopping at the dump station before leaving Gifford Pinchot State Park to empty our tanks.

We had planned on stopping at the Yuengling Brewery in Pottsville, PA to tour their brewery – their Black & Tan is one of our favorite beers. We had called the brewery to check on where to park the RV & were told that there was large parking lot nearby that we could park in. Pottsville is a quaint Pennsylvania town with narrow streets once you are off the main roads. We did go by the Yuengling Brewery, but never found a place to park the RV. We ended up driving about 10 blocks through narrow residential streets before we found a cross street that we could turn onto to get back to the main street through town. We’ll have to save the Yuengling tour for another time when we’re not in the RV.

We stopped at Cabela’s in Hamburg, PA to visit their store. Since we were parked there, we decided stay and fix lunch.

We arrived at Silver Valley Campsites in Saylorsburg, PA a little before 6 p.m. – a total of 176 miles from Gifford Pinchot State Park. Silver Valley is a Passport America campground. We’re on site D3. Our front tires are up on blocks & we raised the passenger side up so high that even with putting the extra folding step out it’s still quite a high step up in to the RV.
