Blase ‘n Love Forest

4 sites · Tents20 acres · MD
We have a beautiful forested mountain that sits at the southern edge of the GreenRidge State Forest. We sit on top of the Paw Paw tunnel and have access to the C and O Canal Trail. We view this place has nature's forest that we are stewards of. We are reclaiming this land that was clear cut over a hundred years ago for an apple orchard and then used as a sawmill and car dump. We have a beautiful deciduous and pine forest with an incredible scenic mountain top that can view the Potomac River at one end. Each day we are working the land to create a beautiful back to nature spot for campers, hikers, bikers, river and travel enthusiasts. Currently we are suited for being a “bring all your stuff with you” camping as we are completely off grid.

Wilbur's Shed

1 site · RV, Tent60 acres · Blairs Mills, PA
This location is two hours south of PSU, five hours west of NYC, and twenty minutes north of the I-76 Turnpike Willow Hill Exit. There is some cell service, but it is limited. Can you hear me now? Be sure to save site information on your phone before you leave, in case you lose cell-service. This is not Alaska, but it is not a KOA campground, either. There is a gutter when you turn off the road onto the lane. Please turn at a 45 degree angle and enter the lane gently or your vehicle with scrape the road. I have 30"x20' culvert to install, but I haven't yet made the commitment begin such a significant project. Nearby is the Tuscarora Creek which is excellent for trout fishing. The Tuscarora has a small but lovely window for kayaking from mid-March through the end of May. Please contact the host if you would like help to plan some paddle logistics. Twenty minutes south is Big Spring State Park which has an abandoned RR tunnel form the late 1800s. Forty-five minutes away is the 1,000 steps near Mt. Union which is part of the Standing Stone Trail that runs from Cowan’s Gap State Park to PSU. The Steps provides and amazing view of the Juniata River, and is a strenuous heart work-out. If members of your party would like a more pampered camping experience that includes real beds and hot showers, there is an adjoining property for rent on air b and b. Google search for The Crowe's Lounge.

As part of our commitment to local agriculture, we also produce and sell seasonal produce, cut flowers and eggs, as well as raise a variety of livestock. We love to share information and open our farm to others, so we frequently do tours and teach classes on a variety of subjects related to what we do on our 35 acre farm. Learn more about this land:This cozy cabin is nestled next to a stream on our 35 acre farm. Make yourself at home in nature with 2 beds, a comfy pull-out couch, covered front porch and a reading desk and generous dining table. This small cabin is great for those wanting to experience nature and farm life with a little more comfort and amenities than tent-camping.  We are a chemical-free farm and nursery.  Our grazing livestock may be visible in nearby fields, as the cabin is situated in the midst of our small, diversified working farm.Things to do nearby: Yellow Creek State Park is located 7 miles down the road offering hiking, canoeing, swimming, fishing and much more! The Ghost Town Trail is accessible via the Heshbon trailhead, just 5 miles down the road.

We have cows, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens and ducks that are mostly in fenced pastures, however, the chickens and ducks tend to wander where ever they'd like :) From April-July, our greenhouses are open to the public as a retail plant nursery, so expect to see and hear cars and people coming and going from our main parking lot, located about 100 yards uphill from the cabin. Additionally, the cabin is situated about 200 yards from the main road, so car and truck traffic can be heard.  A private composting toilet is located just outside the cabin.

The best camping near Blue Knob State Park guide

Overview

About

Where can you go to fish for trout, hunt or trap for deer, squirrel, turkey and grouse, hike for miles and miles, mountain bike, hop on a horse, ski in all its forms, and snowmobile? Wait, let us catch our breath...Blue Knob State Park! And, that’s not even all you can do here! Should we leave the rest a mystery for when you arrive? (Cough—backpacking—cough, cough—wildlife learning opportunities—cough). Your call on whether you want to lodge in your own tent or RV, rent a spiffy modern cabin, or bring a crew of up to 100 for group cabin camping. Regardless, you’re guaranteed to have a grand old time.

When to go

The best time to visit Blue Knob State Park is during the summer and fall when the weather is ideal for hiking and wildlife viewing. Winter brings a snowy wonderland, perfect for skiing enthusiasts, though travel may be more challenging. Spring can be wet and muddy, making some trails less accessible.

Know before you go

  • Check weather conditions before your visit, as the park's high elevation can lead to sudden changes.
  • Wear appropriate footwear for hiking, as trails can be rocky and uneven.
  • Be mindful of wildlife; store food securely and keep a safe distance from animals.
  • Review the park's rules and regulations to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
  • Visit the park's website or contact the visitor center for the latest information on trail closures and hours of operation.
