Wilbur's Shed

1 site ¡ RV, Tent60 acres ¡ Blairs Mills, PA
When my father died in 2020 I removed this shed before we sold my childhood home. It measures 8' x 10' and you may sleep in it on a bad weather night (or a good weather night). Currently, it is three sided with the front open that you may use as you please. It has two 50amp outlets, one 30amp outlet, and normal 110 house outlets to charge your phone. Free campfire wood; you may use anything on the ground. Also included: picnic table with six plastic chairs are included, propane grill is provided at no extra charge, 55 gallon plastic barrel filled with drinkable well water - although there may be some forest dirt particles. A porta-potti is on-site, too. If you want to escape from humanity, this sixty acre ridge top is secluded and private. Let your dogs and children run free. You will not have to talk to anyone. You will not even have to deal with the property owner. There is a clear night sky east and south for astronomy. You may walk and explore freely as long as you do not cross the well-painted white property lines. Twenty acres is 'tall forest, thirty acres is newly logged regrowth brush, and ten acres is crop field. You are welcome to bring horses, but please keep them out of the crop-field. This location is two hours south of PSU, five hours west on NYC, and twenty minutes north of the 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.

The best camping near Fowlers Hollow State Park guide

Overview

About

Fouled only by the perfuming decay of earl-Spring’s plant mass, Fowlers Hollow State Park echoes a varied call; a call that can be interpreted by the camping masses. Canvasses by an array of multi-use trails, Fowlers Hollow Park is a mecca for the seasons (and practicing novice) mountain biker who’s eager to engage the next gear―and that gear’s riddled with rocky terrains. Aside from the endurance-testing mountain biking, the park’s more well-manicured hiking trails offer easy midday strolls through the Tuscarora State Forest that both you and your Instagram followers can appreciate. And, reverberating its rustic surroundings, Fowler Hollow State Park offers only a few primitive campsites to spend the night in.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Fowlers Hollow State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer offers lush greenery, but can be crowded. Winters are quiet but can be quite cold, so be prepared if you venture during this season.

Know before you go

  • Check the weather forecast before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
  • Be aware of park hours, typically from dawn until dusk, and plan your activities accordingly.
  • Remember to pack out all trash and leave the park as pristine as you found it.
  • Stay on designated trails to protect the park's natural habitats and your own safety.
  • Visit the park's website or contact the visitor center for the latest information on closures and accessibility.
