Weekend Trip to Wilson’s Boondock Hollow

It was a secluded spot surrounded by woods, the night sky was one of the clearest I’d ever seen, we saw many shooting stars. Micheal is very kind and made sure we had everything we needed, would definitely go back again.

Weekend Trip to Slice of Solitude

This place was secluded and relaxing. I was the only camper that was there so I had the place all to myself. I love how secluded I felt and also how beautiful the views were. This place was well kept, very clean and I love the open grass area next to the forest. My pup and I played fetch all day and she had a blast. Richard also was very responsive with messages and even stopped by to make sure I had everything I needed. This place was just what I was looking for a nice relaxing weekend to unwind from city life. I will definitely be back!!!!

Weekend Trip to Farm on the Creek

Spur of the moment escape to Matt's land, first time hipcamping! Perfect directions, secluded just enough, and the firewood bundles that we bought ahead of time made everything so easy. Our host was very nice, but everything was detailed so nicely, we didn't need to bother him except to check-in when we arrived.

Weekend Trip to Farm on the Creek

Very easy to book. All accommodations and requests met. Beautiful, quiet setting. Firewood on hand, huge fire ring and plenty of bench seating, picnic table on site.

Nearby is Bilgers Rocks, Rock Run Atv Park, Prince Gallitzin State Park, the Susquehanna River, and many other fantastic outdoor activities. It’s a place to unwind and relax. And connect with nature. This is in a very rural part of Pennsylvania and camping in the winter weather can be difficult. So please prepare yourself with additional sleeping bags for winter. The tent is heated but because of the unpredictable and sometimes dangerous weather you need to be prepared. The bathroom is also outdoors so there will not be a shower provided till after the freezing weather. And the loo is not heated. It is also recommended that you have all wheel drive or 4 wheel drive to get to the campsite in the winter. It is possible to walk from road to site. But you should consider this when booking. RTR is a very beautiful place in the winter but it can also be dangerous if you’re not prepared.
