Autumn view from the camp site and picnic area

Weekend Trip to Camp Douglass - Schuylkill River

Great spot as always. Will definitely be returning next year!

2 nights at Conowingo Creek Campsite

Gini’s campground was wonderful, the perfect spot to introduce my toddlers to camping. The river was calm enough for the kids to go tubing for the first time as well. Gini and her husband are incredible hosts, highly recommend!

1 night at Conowingo Creek Campsite

We loved our glamping adventure. The peace and quiet and the quality time was priceless. Actually when we got home did not turn the TV on until nighttime. We highly recommend this site.

3 nights at Willow Oak 1

We had a wonderful time at Carol's land. Private, peaceful and beautiful. Carol and her husband were very helpful and incredibly nice people. I would definitely go back.

Weekend Trip to Grampy's Red Rock Rabbit Ranch

Great spot! We had excellent weather. Easy to find and set up camp at.

3 nights at Camp Douglass - Schuylkill River

I love camping here! This was our second time at Camp Douglass and my friends and I had so much fun tubing on the river and enjoying the ample shade from all the trees. It’s such a convenient location to get to from Philly as well, which is a huge plus.

1 night at Laureleye Farms

I loved the peaceful, quiet farm field beside the stream in the countryside on my bicycle journey west across America. It was a soothing rest after bicycling through Philadelphia.

Weekend Trip to Full Circle Farm

2nd time camping here and it won’t be the last either. Its very nice, quiet and surrounded by woods.

Weekend Trip to Grampy's Red Rock Rabbit Ranch

Nice site! Clean and easily accessible. Host was responsive and helpful.

Weekend Trip to Laureleye Farms

I loved camping here on my bicycle journey across America. It was so peaceful. The sound of the creek was beautiful.

Weekend Trip to Hardscrabble Hill

The property is unbelievable! The camp spot is up on a hill. Full hookups are up there and the view is great!

Weekend Trip to Fawn View Farm, Pond & Fields

My best friend & I tent camped at the pond site, such a perfect environment for camping, amazing indoor place to hang out that has outlets & games. If you're looking for somewhere to camp, fish, have a bonfire & amazing time. This is THE place! Will definitely be coming back again!

We walked around the pond and took in our campsite from across the way.

Weekend Trip to Pine Creek

We loved to be here. It would help to have a sign outside so we can find it easier.

Weekend Trip to Conowingo Creek Campsite

Wow! Just wow! Family of 5, our first time camping and we left wanting more days. Gini is an amazing Camp Host, definitely very clean, kid friendly and it was so much help having all the utensils, soap , etc. Already there. Already planning our next stay.

Weekend Trip to GreenHills Camp

The truth is that this place has been one of the most beautiful places I've visited for camping, everything is very clean, nature is in all its splendor, the birds sing to you day and night, something super relaxing, the truth is that I recommend it 100%.

2 nights at Pine Creek

Very friendly host and great camping area and site!

1 night at Laureleye Farms

What a beautiful camping spot so close to Philadelphia! I had a wonderful visit in my camper van- it was my first Hipcamp too. Susannah is very nice and accommodating! I will be back soon. Im very intrigued by the school house- I got a look from the outside. That might be next. Thank you! Charlie

2 nights at Fawn View Farm, Pond & Fields

Mary's place is tucked away amidst the rolling hills of rural northern Maryland, and it is truly a beautiful and peaceful place. There's a lot of space to camp and roam, and it's within a short drive of three local breweries, a state park, and beautiful Deer Creek, where we went tubing. It's a great home base or single destination. Everyone we encountered was extremely friendly, and we will definitely be returning. Thank you so much, Mary!

2 nights at Hardscrabble Hill

Excellent spot for some respite, bird watching and enjoying biplanes. Attention to those that are towing, we encountered a low height 9’ 4” and had to do a not so fun U-turn. It’s our own fault as we missed the sign but just wanted to give a heads up. The detour isn’t significant but the U-turn was:) The bridge was about 5-10 minutes from the site so just pay attention to your route.

1 night at Laureleye Farms

The Chapel is a beautiful little getaway located next to Buck Run, a refreshing creek nestled in a serene landscape of horse farms and wooded areas. You can walk right into the Laurels, a stunning 500-acre preserve of land with lovely trails to run and walk. We can highly recommend staying here!

Grampy's Red Rock Rabbit Ranch

2 sites · RVs, Tents50 acres · Schwenksville, PA

50-some years ago, the legendary Grampy David made his way to The Red Rock Rabbit Ranch. There he resides: a good-hearted curmudgeon, a handyman, a grumpy, Ywengling-drinking philosopher, the wittiest mason, carpenter, roofer, etc. you'll ever meet. I'm his grandson, a documentary filmmaker helping to make ends meet here by sharing this glorious space with Hip Campers. 50 acres of serene woods, fields, a pond, and Mine Run Creek. This is a place to relax, to get in touch with nature and reconnect with the people you love. Spring Mount Adventures is nearby. The Perkiomen Creek Trail is only a mile away. Crawfish, sycamore trees, foxes, pileated woodpeckers, and more! Caring for the land: please do not collect your own firewood on the land. That wood is decomposing and contributing to the health of the forest, providing numerous habitats for bugs. Note on dogs: we run a dog-sitting business, so there may be a pack (2-5) of dogs that come through the woods with us on walks. All dogs we sit are friendly towards humans. Food recs: Raw Replenish in downtown Schwenksville has healthy smoothies and salads. Thai Spice is ten minutes away. Trouble's End brewing is 15 minutes away in Collegeville, with delicious beer and a Spicy Chicken sandwich.
