Summer’s here! Well, maybe not officially, but the hot and humid weather has certainly made its debut early here in the Burgh. And, you know what that means! Finding fun ways to stay cool without being held captive by a/c. Fortunately, Pittsburgh sits just an hour from the state’s largest swimming pool. Go for a day of swimming, or spend a few nights at this rustic campground near Pittsburgh.
