This is a nice camping spot in a little hidden valley nestled in a ridge south of Second Mountain. The views of Blue Mountain from the road to the campsite are amazing. If you need firewood, you can get bundles for $5 at 1187 Deturksville Rd (7 mins away). A natural spring has made the ground too soggy to go to the pond unless you have boots. Every now and then a truck might drive by on the paved driveway going to and from the farm up the hill. The only negative for this spot is the industrial/farming noises that came on in the evening. It sounded like loud fan noise in the near distance which was a little annoying. At least it wasn't constant because I noticed it was totally quiet halfway through the night, thank goodness.

Awesome spot right on the river. Was well setup and provided all the essentials to make it comfortable. Easy to check in and out and the whole weekend went smooth.

Really private peaceful site! A lot of open space, a lot of trees for shade and setting up hammocks. Easy to find, clean, fire pit set up. Enjoyed our camp, would definitely go back!

Everything was clean and well maintained. Loved the wooden platforms, string of lights, fire pit. Unexpected bonus was some firewood and two hammocks already set up. Gorgeous view of the river and so convenient to the bike trail. Check in was a breeze. Note: As an active freight rail line goes alongside the bike trail and river, do expect train whistles and noise several times a night.

I can’t say enough great things about our stay at White Squirrel Overlook! The views were absolutely breathtaking, and there was so much space to stretch out and unwind. We were in town for a dog sporting event, and it was such a gift to return each day to a hot, sparkling-clean shower after competing. Audra was wonderful to communicate with—friendly, responsive, and welcoming. We’re already looking forward to booking our next stay!

Was a nice surprise to see the fields of sunflowers! We had plenty of room for a frisbee toss with the tent staked down and the hammock strapped up!

Incredible! We stayed here for my husband’s birthday and were completely blown away….the views are just breathtaking. Audra was very responsive whenever we messaged her and you can tell that they have put a lot of time, money and thought into the setup, including the pavilion at the base of the hill and the new upcoming bathrooms at the campsite. There is also a rooftop deck for even more spectacular views!
My husband and I brought our paddle boards and paddled on the river all day (just a three minute drive from the site). Then we came back and enjoyed dinner at our campsite :) In the morning a thunderstorm came through, which we thoroughly enjoyed watching, while sipping coffee from inside our van. Thank you so much for offering this to the public. We will absolutely be coming back!

Absolutely incredible site! Amazing views, very private, convenient facilities located nearby. Nice to have a spot to hang out and play games if it rains. Really enjoyed the lookout platform as well. There's a bathroom in shower being finished on site as well that will be super nice to have. Saw a deer in the fields each day we were there. Host was very responsive and helpful! We will definitely be back!

Beautiful views and solitude. Clean bathrooms. Super accommodating host even though I was a last minute booking. I had a great time and slept like a baby. Wasn’t up to cooking but there’s a great little restaurant down the road called Fire & Ice that does take out smoked meats.!! You get what you pay for - and this is very high end camping. I felt safe staying here as a solo female traveler.

Overall great private camping spot! Perfect for bringing the dog as well. We ate at Fire and Ice Smokehouse and Creamery and it was incredible!
Only downside is, in my opinion, the price is a little high for a camp site, but for me it was well worth it to have the private site for my dogs first camping trip.

This riverfront campsite was everything we expected it to be and more! From check-in to check-out, we had the site completely to ourselves. We have 2 reactive dogs, and are always worried about interacting with other dogs at crowded campgrounds. This trip, our dogs were more relaxed than ever, were able to roam the entire site, and exhausted themselves from all the zoomies!! We were rained in most of our second day there, but still had plenty of fun. There was a full shower bag provided, full basin of water for the hand-washing sink, and surprisingly clean bathroom amenities. There are 2 wooden platforms closer to the water, and 1 larger platform toward the back of the site where we set up our tent. All 3 were very well-maintained. There are string lights set up, but you need to rent/have a generator to power them. The fire pit was great, and we had purchased the $10 firewood bundle - Zach left 2 bundles for us in the covered kitchen area. Lastly, if you’re looking to fish, we caught a good sized rainbow trout and a baby catfish! Great trip overall.

This is a beautiful open meadow space with mowed grass and plenty of shade trees. There is a pond up the back and a spring/creek that runs along one side of the meadow. We had beautiful weather and a nice time. The area is remote and quiet. The fire ring is a nice size and the ground where we parked the camper was level. We would definitely recommend this beautiful spot and would go again.

This property is simply beautiful, such gorgeous views. We loved watching sunsets by the fire and how private this campsite is. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return again soon. Audra is really easy to work with and so friendly and welcoming. She was very informative and helpful and made herself available if needed. The bath house was a short walk down a hill and very clean. It was great having access to a flushing toilet and hot shower. We played some basketball at the pavilion which was really fun. Overall, I highly recommend this site!

The sites are packed together pretty tight, but the campground is very close to the battlefield which is what we wanted. Bathrooms and showers were nice and cleaned regularly.

Beautiful, well maintained, private, fishing, river trail is a stone throw away, great fire pit for cooking, and many more great things at this campsite
This is my favorite way to camp, sleeping next to water with no one around but my family.
