This spot is best for a van camp location but plenty of space for tents and hammocks. You'll find a drive-up deck if you wish to park there. Firewood is available providing you use downfalls as kindling in the stone fire pit. A 8x20' deck and picnic table are 20 feet from the fire for stargazing. When the ferns are full grown they are 3 feet tall and everywhere. A 10 minute walk takes you through a dense pine forest with large rock formations and a nice creek with many gurgling fall areas. If there looks like a cave amongst the large rocks, then it probably is a bear den. There is a lot to do near by. Some note worthy locations : Cranberry Glade Lake (good for kayaking or fishing), Ohiopyle, 7 Springs, Fallingwater, Living Treasures, Caddie Shak, and Hidden Valley are all about 25 minutes away. This property also borders Laurel Ridge State Park. There is a Dollar General and a gas station about 15 minutes away for convenience needs.This spot is best for a van camp location but plenty of space for tents and hammocks.

It was a nice area. We loved the fire pit and the deck with picnic table. It was private. It’s just not ideal for tent camping, unless you have a small tent

Really enjoyed camping among the ferns. It's an especially good site if you like hammock camping. Nicely secluded. Didn't really hear or see any neighbors. Close to the paddling in Ohiopyle. Would do again.

The camp was cozy and private. The parking pad was perfect for our pickup truck and roof top tent. The wooden deck was surprisingly nice to have. We loved the fire pit. There are some great rock formations and a beautiful creek a short hike away. You could hear the neighboring properties mowing and riding ATV’s but we still felt private. The location is also great.

Best stay ever
Amazing spot! Secluded with plenty of land to explore. A short drive from Laurel Ridge state park, Gladstone lake, and many trails. We will be back!
