Primitive camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
We are ultimately seeking individuals who enjoy the primitive camping experience and want a place to themselves and away from the typical camping crowd.   To that end, we are offering one or longer lease agreements with costs ranging from $80 to $130 per month.    Our current site is located along the Conemaugh River about 10 miles from the town of Blairsville, PA.  This area was very heavily mined from the mid 1800's through the 1940's. Much of the land was left in ruin. Over the last 20 years, efforts have been made to reclaim and reforest the properties and create man-made wetlands to purify the orange acidic water leaching from the former mining works. Hidden along the stream that parallels Reynolds Road, West Wheatfield Township, Indiana County, are the remains of small dams and other structures that were once part of a bustling economy. Reclamation efforts include a new flow channel and concrete bridge where vegetation has successfully been reestablished and the water is now clean. The view from on top of Fort Hill is just fabulous. And, on any given day one can hear the call of red tailed hawks as they glide in the winds above the valley floor. Hiking on an abandoned mining road or timber road will lead you to Roaring Run which also borders a state game lands property. This stream boasts one of the nicest water falls in the area. A short distance from the water falls, the stream meets the Conemaugh River after flowing under the Norfolk Southern Railroad. Do not trespass on railroad property or their right-of-way.! You can expect to encounter snakes....rattlesnakes and copperheads are in this area and are dangerous. We also have properties about 15 miles north of I-80 located in Clearfield County. This location is the grazing and breading home to the 2nd largest herd of Elk in Pennsylvania and the east coast of the US.   These sites will be available soon.  That said, hunting is strictly prohibited on any of our properties.  No exceptions.! We also partner with local establishments who can offer basic food and supplies, excellent dining, and lodging experiences for small and large groups.   We do not earn or receive any commissions from any of our partners;  We simply ask that you consider patronizing their businesses in a civil manner.
