Weekend Trip to FernRock Retreat
Sandy and John are fantastic hosts with a couple charming little cabins. Great wildlife and birding right on the property. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

Lovely place for a peaceful retreat for a chilly November weekend, even with a 5 year old. Sandy and John were such kind and welcoming hosts. The red cabin is an updated church camp cabin, with electric radiators and a modern wood stove for heat, a pretty cool composting toilet (indoor), sink+shower, simple kitchen with induction stove, and 2 bedrooms with linens and towels. Our 5-year old loved the tree house, fairy house, labyrinth, meditation stations, boat and Pooh's house and library. And we got really good at shuffleboard! Would definitely recommend and would like to go back.

Cozy cottage on a peaceful, beautifully maintained property with generous hosts. Highly recommended. Hiking nearby at Nockamixon State Park was fun as well.

Sandy and John were excellent hosts and wonderful stewards of their land. They went above and beyond to make my partner and I feel welcome. It was an extremely comfortable and peaceful weekend at Fern Rock, and we would absolutely love to return.

We had such a GREAT TIME at Great Times Camp! Bathrooms and parking are a short walk away from the cabins. The camp is private and quiet with plenty of room for our large group. Will was helpful and prompt with answering any questions. We will definitely be back!

7th trip to Great Times in 6 years and every year is better than the last. Our host Will is always just a message away and is very accommodating.

Sandy and John could NOT have been better hosts. They are wonderful, lovely people who welcome folks onto their property to explore and reconnect with nature. The cabins are exactly what you need for a short stay. The property is magical with hidden gems all throughout. If you happen to wake up at 3am like I do, you cannot hear the highway. At a certain point just before dawn, the highway and crickets are silent. It is truly one of the most peaceful places just outside of Philadelphia. We stayed with family friends who were staying in one of the two cabins on the property. Plan a magical retreat with your family or loved ones and let Sandy and John teach you how to reconnect with nature!

Weekend Trip to Great Times Camp Ground
Had a blast with a bunch of friends. Decent size piece of land with a lake/pond. We used 2 cabins. Plenty of picnic tables to use. Bathrooms are only a short walk from the cabins.
Will was very accommodating.
I'm sure we will be back.

I recently spent a weekend at Great Times Camp Ground through Hipcamp, and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, relaxed, and totally immersed in nature—yet with every comfort I needed.
What stood out:
• Peaceful & Scenic Setting
The campsites are nestled in beautiful woods, with plenty of privacy. Waking up to birdsong and filtered sunlight through the trees immediately recharged me.
• Well-Kept Grounds & Amenities
The entire site is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully laid out. Paths are easy to find, sites are level and spacious, and facilities (restrooms, water points, etc.) are all in good shape. It strikes a great balance: rustic enough to feel like real camping, but convenient enough to feel comfortable.

We stayed in the cabin by the water with our 3 month old and it was lovely. Very peaceful with great trails on the property and awesome animals. Sandy and John were very nice.

This was our second time starting at Fern Rock. We stayed in the cabin by the creek this time and it was just as beautiful and calming as our last visit. Is a great place to visit with the kids and have fun in the woods, following the creek, and playing in the huge yard. Of course, we can’t forget about the labyrinth/maze; it’s my little guys highlight and we can spend hours entertained there. It’s always a good time and nice knowing that Sandy and John are so close by.

A very tranquil setting for peace & relaxation. Sandy & John have put a lot of thought into their property which they graciously share with others. I loved sitting in the screened in porch surrounded by nature. The prayer walk & labyrinth were special touches.

It was so peaceful. The remarkable thing was that even though it was really hot in Philadelphia, only an hour away, it was cool enough at Fern rock to need a little blanket in the evening. The cabin was spotless and in incredibly good shape.
Sitting on the screen porch was like looking through lovely picture windows. Sandy and John were readily available but not intrusive in anyway.

Weekend Trip to FernRock Retreat
Sandy and John put thought into absolutely every aspect of this hipcamp. It was not just a place to stay, but a whole experience. The mossy landscape by the creek, the privacy, the craftsmanship of the treehouse, the offerings of the meditation walk, the little details in the home, the chickens roaming around, floating down the stream — we felt like we were living in a fairy tale. Moreover, it can be very expensive to experience this type of thing these days, and we appreciated that the cost of the stay was reasonable. Thank you for offering a part of your world to others!

Weekend Trip to FernRock Retreat
We had an incredible trip. Very private, very moving. There's lots of energy on this property.
We didn't have a long stay so we didn't socialize too much but Sandy and John were incredibly kind and welcoming when we did need to talk.

Great times was exactly what we needed! We had a group of 18 people and everyone had an amazing time. There was plenty of space for everyone to set up camp and tons of equipment for playing games (soccer, basketball, gaga, etc). The sprinkler area was perfect for cooling off after playing games in the hot sun. The surrounding area is great too for a more casual camping experience, as there are plenty of shops and restaurants within driving distance. All in all, I highly recommend Great Times Campground.
