We are so proud to own a small piece of land in beautiful Cook Forest State Park in scenic northwestern Pennsylvania. Known for its stands of old growth forest, the park’s Forest Cathedral of towering white pines and hemlocks is a National Natural Landmark. A scenic 13-mile stretch of the Clarion River flows through Cook Forest State Park and is popular for canoeing, kayaking, and tubing. Nestled within Cook Forest State Park is a secluded eight acres adorn with whimsy ferns and towering 100+ year-old Hemlock trees. It’s the perfect site for campers to unwind and enjoy nature. There are plenty of clearings to pitch a tent. One of the most magical parts of this property is a quick 1/2 mile trail through State Game Lands that leads to the Clarion River and an exquisite natural swimming area with massive flat oversized rocks perfect for fishing or sunbathing. Amenities within a short drive include canoeing/tubing rentals, horseback riding, restaurants, Lost in the Wilds Brewing, and plenty of hiking and biking trails. The perfect escape to take advantage of everything nature has to offer.Nestled within Cook Forest State Park is a secluded seven acres adorn with whimsy ferns and towering 100+ year-old Hemlock trees.

Beautiful fall scenery

Nice secluded area and clean site. There is a nice sized fire ring, and there was a cooking rack that could be placed over the fire ring. Overall, beautiful and easy to deal with host. I would recommend printing or saving the directions to the site. Cell reception is spotty at best. There is a gentle slope through the site, so mind where you place your tent. Lots of wildlife for us. Turkey’s, deer, squirrels and even a bear roamed through our site. Mind where/how you store your food.

Wooded Escape in Cook Forest

Such a perfect camp site for our weekend! The space was large and clear with plenty of tent spots, and even good trees for our hammocks. The work they’ve put into clearing and maintaining the land is evident throughout. The river was close by with a bit of a hike down the ravine but that made it more worth it to jump in! We loved our weekend here so much, thank you!!

Wooded Escape in Cook Forest

Beautiful campsite, very quiet and secluded but not far from excellent hiking and kayaking/canoeing on Clarion river. Some trash and especially several broken glass shards around the site. Disrespectful camping behavior aside, the site would benefit from a thorough inspection/cleaning especially after larger groups. Overall a beautiful site to camp.

Quite and relaxing campsite.

Campsite was as advertised. It was clean, centrally located, very quiet and private which made for an enjoyable experience Close to many Cook's Forest amenities including the river. Owner/Natalie offered quick, clear and consistent communication throughout. Thank you!
