Looking for something new to try this summer? The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) is providing first-time campers with gear and a reservation for two nights at 12 state parks for just $20. A four-person tent, rain tarp, four sleeping pads, four camp chairs, flashlight, lantern, camp stove and four hot dog/marshmallow sticks are provided. A park staffer will help the campers set up camp.

The participating state parks include:
