Revisions to Schedule of Prices for State Parks

[41 Pa.B. 2449]
[Saturday, May 14, 2011]

A. Summary and background

 Under section 314 of the Conservation and Natural Resources Act (71 P. S. § 1340.314) and 17 Pa. Code § 11.224 (relating to prices), the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (Department) will revise its price schedule for State Parks by adding a charge for dog-friendly cabins and cottages.

 In a pilot program beginning April 1, 2012, the Department will designate certain cabins and cottages in seven State parks as dog-friendly as follows:

Poe Valley	Prince Gallitzin
Chapman	Cowans Gap
Pymatuning	Promised Land
Kooser

 Details concerning this program are provided on the Department's web site at http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/state parks/recreation/pets.aspx. Persons may also contact the Bureau of State Parks at [phone].

 Due to the added administrative and cleaning costs of maintaining dog-friendly accommodations, the Department is adding a charge to the regular cabin/cottage per-night price. As stated in the price schedule in Section D, the charge will range from $2 to $15 per night, depending on the type of cabin or camping cottage and interior furnishings.

 The pilot program will be instituted effective April 1, 2012. The added charges for dog-friendly accommodations will become effective for reservations made on or after May 14, 2011, for the 2012 season.

 The Department's State Parks web site at http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/prices/index.htm, has been revised to reflect the new charge.

B. Contact Person

 Any questions may be directed to David Sariano, Assistant Director, Bureau of State Parks, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 8551, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8551, [phone], [e-mail]. Persons with a disability may use the AT&T Relay Service by calling [phone] (TDD users).
