Tons of space to spread out along the river. Gorgeous property with tall trees and privacy. We were met with a bundle of firewood brought to us by our gracious host. The Adirondack chairs were very comfortable to sit around the large fire pit. I would definitely recommend this site for campers with simple needs. Peaceful and serene location behind the host’s house, not far from amenities. Pull up a chair and relax by the river.

This ended up being our favorite stop on our ten day (ten different campsite) roadtrip! The dogs were a little overwhelming at first, jumping on our car and barking at us as we unpacked… but by morning we had made three new best friends 🐕 they slept by our tent through the night and protected us, they kept us company and my son loved playing with them. The pasture was well kept and they had the best portapotty I think I’ve ever been in. It didn’t smell at all (no idea how that’s possible) and had string lights, sanitizer, a mirror, etc. The sheep were a joy to wake up next to and pet- one came right up to the fence when we walked over! The alpaca was cute and the host communicated well too. Our family favorite!

Stand out communication & kind hospitality for a great stay. The Border Collie trio did not disappoint! This Hipcamp was able to accommodate my late arrival and I had a comfortable stop over.

This is a very nice, private campsite.
David was a friendly host and was always available if I needed anything.
The site is tucked back in against a field and the scenery in front is beautiful. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Staying at camp Douglass is always such a joy. It’s absolutely beautiful, well maintained, and we have been back more than a few times. We even got engaged there! I suggest it to anyone who even mentions camping, and we even got engaged there. Do yourself the favor!

This was a great campsite! Dogs are extremely friendly, so expect to hang out with them, but they're adorable, and it's the perfect place for a weekend away.

Loved camping there! Had friendly neighbors over the weekend too. Didnt get a chance to meet Edwin but chatted with him over the hipcamp app and he was very friendly when chatting.
Pups were very friendly. They “helped” me set up my camper and even had one hop on in when we were bringing stuff inside. Each slot had its own fire pit and there were plenty of spots to choose from. Even with other people there, it wasnt crowded at all like a normal camp would be.
Outhouse was very clean and smelled fresh and clean as well.
I will definitely be coming back again next year for my expos i vend at.

This was our second time at Camp Douglass. My best friend and I loved it so much the first trip, we couldn’t wait to bring the kids! Shane works hard on this property, and it shows. There were upgrades even since May when we were there. We booked a weekend already for next summer. We will come prepared with floats for the river. This trip the kids and dogs were able to walk over to the island and down the river. We had coffee with a beautiful view every morning. My friend and I agree, we’ve found one of our happy places!

Our scout troop had a great visit. It was a perfect spot for an overnight bike-in from the Schuylkill River Trail, and nice that we could bring supplies by car as well.

Beautiful spot. Peaceful and serene. Perfect place to get out and unwind to. David has a beautiful farm with cows and pigs and the campsite is very well taken care of.

We loved every minute of camping at Camp Douglass! The view out over the river is amazing and the water near the shore is shallow and perfect for kids to play in. The campsite itself is flat and clean with a perfect spot for a hammock and there is a shed full of firewood nearby. Although the train didn’t bother us during the day it continued over night and was not overly loud but might not be great for light sleepers. The gravel road to get to the campsite was manageable for our Honda pilot and would be an easy walk if using the parking area. Over all it was great and we will definitely be back.

I’ll be back. The amount of space you get to yourself is unbeatable, and so perfect for pets. I hate being surrounded by people when I go camping. Gorgeous spot and extremely private. Yes there is a camp across the way but it was mostly quiet and my side was completely private! Nobody to bother me or my dog. Host was super responsive and polite. The map to the spot was perfect. The hammock, chairs, table, fire pit, and tree swing was a nice addition. You have to bring your own grate if you like to cook on them, but that’s personal preference. This might be my new go to local spot.

Spent 3 nights on Andrew's property. I had been looking for a spot where I could essentially wake up, and roll on to my paddleboard; this was perfect! The property is spacious, even, with great balance of sun and shade! There is a family campground directly across the river, but it's just a very small strip of it that is visual, but not at all noisy or disruptive. The location is somewhat affected by road noise, but almost all during the daylight hours.
Andrew's communication was terrific! The site was clean and ready to go when I arrived, firewood brought down for me that afternoon. A composting toilet is privately tucked in just a 60 second walk from the site and is suitably clean (it's an outdoor toilet, you can only do so much lol)
I was told that the hammock, fire ring, and trash can are new, and IMO, wonderful additions!
This was such a beautiful and relaxing experience ... I am grateful to Andrew for sharing this space, and I am already brainstorming my stay for next summer!

Site was well maintained and clean. Check in insteuctions were clear. Nice spot right along the river, plenty of space and felt secluded. You can tell the property owner has spent time making the site nice. Included firewood was a huge bonus. Train runs through regularly fairly close but didnt bother us. Would return again.

The check-in was chill and friendly, and finding my spot was easy to figure out from the description provided. Once I was settled, I was left to my own devices between the camping pasture and the animal pasture; it was lovely! I brought my camping luxuries, they provided a potty and a pump faucet with potable water.. They introduced me to their SWEET dogs and I was so socially awkward after that, I can’t remember if I even introduced myself. Their dogs sensed me up stirring early in the morning on my way out, and they came out to say hi/good morning! The dogs do not overstay their welcome, though. Great spot I will keep on my list for the future!
