Family-friendly

Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.

Welcome to creek-side camping on our picturesque 16 acre farm. Each site has access to Broad Creek and complementary unlimited firewood. Enjoy the sound of the water as you relax creek-side, or even take a dip to cool off! Stroll through the wildflower meadow, bird watch, pick wild raspberries and enjoy views of our orchards. Local places to visit include: Susquehanna State park, Rocks State Park and Eden Mill Nature Center. Local breweries Falling Branch and Slate Farm are both within 5 miles and are a must visit. A few ground rules: -Dogs are permitted if they are friendly and are trained well enough to listen and stay at your site. We have a large fenced in area for dogs to run around and play if they cannot be off leash. - OVERLANDERS: You can bring your overland camper if you want, but you must park your vehicle in the parking spot across from your site at sites 1-3. You can sleep in your vehicle, and hang in the camping area, but not both in the same place. Site 4 is large enough to accommodate your vehicle and these rules do not apply there. -This is a place for relaxation and reflection by the creek. No loud groups or partying allowed. -This is a pack it in, pack it out site. This includes food waste, dog waste, and any garbage produced. Please respect that :) -There is no fishing, kayaking or boating. Go for a swim and float, no prob! But please float in the vicinity of your camp, so as not to disturb other campers. You can enjoy the following on our sites: - Free, unlimited wood for your campfires. Each site comes with a fire ring. - Seating arrangements (picnic table, wrought iron loungers and chairs and wood benches). - Charming outhouse situated over a septic certified holding tank with toilet paper and hand sanitizer.

Site #3 - Bamboo

We had a great time at the bamboo campsite! It was a great peaceful spot for our small family. We enjoyed the platform over the creek surrounded by bamboo and the generous supply of firewood. It was rainy and overcast during our stay but it was a very relaxing time. Lots of different birds in the area as well! Scott was kind enough to stop by and check in to see if there were any issues. I appreciated that he was willing to accommodate us for a piece of equipment that we forgot to bring. Would definitely recommend!

Site #3 - Bamboo

Absolutely charming!

The campsites are along the perimeter of a field, right next to a lovely little stream. Each one has its own character, and they are all far enough away from one another that you have privacy. Scott maintains mowed pathways from each campsite to the communal outhouse, which - as another review already commented - truly is the Aristotelian ideal of an outhouse. He also keeps the perimeter of the fenced area mowed as well to make strolls around the property easier. We stayed at the Bywater site (not Bamboo) due to a last minute change in our plans that pushed out visit back by a week. (Thank you again to Scott for being so gracious and accommodating!) It was shaded and just big enough for our tent and pop-up canopy. Best of all, we were close enough to the water to catch a glimpse of a heron, who paused ever-so-briefly on a rock right next to our campsite.

Site #4 - Slate

The platonic ideal of an outhouse

This is our third time staying at campsite #4. It did not dissappoint. This year there's a new fenced dog run around the growing apple orchard, and a brand new outhouse. The dog run is great for big dogs, but our little city dog could slip through the bars of the gate so we kept him on leash. I'm not sure, but I *might* have been the first person to use the new outhouse. It was pristine (for an outhouse). So, if you're a connoisseur of outhouses, don't miss it. Other helpful notes if you're trying to pick a campsite: site 2 has a circle carved out of the bamboo hedge which is ideal for keeping a small (1-2 person) tent shaded and cool, and site #2's cooking area gets gorgeous morning light. Site 4 is the largest and most private, but it takes a while for the morning sun to hit it so you'll stay covered in dew the longest. Just fyi for those trying to pick a camp site.

It was great camp site with water and bird sound. It was little chill but enough wood log help to be warm. I really enjoyed weekend camping.
