Pa. is very cold in January to stop here and camp.
We have done this trip a few times.
Twingroves is the first and only open campground within comfortable driving distance.
You're not camping, just stopping for an overnight.
Two hours before arriving stop and turn on the furnace.
Twingroves has a restaurant.
Here's another nearby possibility. This one (Jonestown KOA) at I81 Exit 90 is just a few miles past the exit for the Twin Grove Campground. Handy to the Interstate and good fueling opportunities. We've been up and down I81 in the winter many times and always stay in our camper the first night southbound in December or January whether in PA, MD or VA. As suggested, watch the weather ahead but we have had to delay our departure only twice since 1980. The worst for snow is usually the snow belt between Watertown and Syracuse then clear sailing. Friends of ours swore they saw snow flurries through there in July! They were just kidding,...........I hope.
We always do I81, I66, US17 and I95.
