Public Camp Grounds in the Pennsylvania State Forests

The Department of Forestry has developed and equipped eight public camp grounds in the State Forests for the use of automobile tourists. These camp grounds are equipped with a space for tents, a fireplace, a supply of pure water, two comfort stations, four garbage containers, four tables and eight benches. No permit will be granted to any person for any particular camp for more than ten days in one year. Occupancy, however, is limited to two days unless a permit is obtained for a longer period from a local State Forest officer. [[286]]

RHODE ISLAND

The Metropolitan Park Commission of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations has set apart certain open spaces for public recreation and enjoyment. One of these, the Lincoln Woods Reservation (458 acres), is one of the best natural parks in New England and consists of rocky woodland, streams, hills and valleys, open meadows and lakes. Shelters and fireplaces have been located in several sections of the reservation and campers must use the latter if a fire is needed. Permits for the [[287]]use of camping locations may be obtained by applying at the office of the Commission in the State House. Lincoln Woods is located five miles from Providence.
