Pocono Woodland Lakes, PA · 9 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
All lodging sites have heating for your comfort and are available year round! The River's Edge campsites sit on the shoreline of the Delaware River at the western edge of New York State overlooking the mountains of Pennsylvania. Our canvas tents and open air platforms perch between the river and the former Delaware & Hudson Canal which was once was used to transport raw goods by barge to New York City via the 'port' of Port Jervis. The remnants of the canal walls are throughout the property including a 300 person theater which we created to both preserve and feature this industrial history. It also makes a great place for an event or a movie night.
Today, the original canal towpath, along which barges would be pulled and floated downstream, is a trail that links all of the campsites over 5 acres and at the furthest end an eel fishing camp that is in operation from June to October.
In the early 1900s, the train replaced the canal as the primary method of moving goods into New York and if you are lucky — you will hear the train rumble by along the river on the Pennsylvania side. There is something spectacular in the absolute still and grandness of the river, the mountains and the ongoing industrial history of the valley. It is a reminder of the way things used to be.
The farmhouse and cabins are located opposite the campsites on other side of route 97. Next to them are 50 acres of wild forest to hike and explore. These accommodations are great for guests who want more amenities but still with easy access to river. Pair campsites and cabins so that all your guests have their best experience.
Contact us to coordinate for larger group bookings. Please note that a significant portion of county tax/fees and cancellation or change fees may be avoided by booking the base amount of people (4) and at a much later date adding extra guests. Guests NOT occupying canvas tent (lodging) and bringing their own tents should not be paying an occupancy tax but there is no provision for this in the app. We do not want our guests paying taxes -- that benefit no one but useless bureaucracy! Extra guests may be added the week before booking. Just let us know your plans through the app!

Newfoundland, PA · 2 sites
Journey's End Farm is a small family farm offering a diverse selection of ecologically grown vegetables, maple syrup, and free-range eggs. Everything that we sell is grown or produced on-site with the intention of nurturing the soil and ecology of the land. From 1939-2020 our family ran a summer sleep-away camp for children on the farm, with an emphasis on caring for each other and the land. Located in a small valley at 1400 feet of elevation, our fields and woods are home to a broad diversity of native plants and animals. Our family has been caring for this land since 1926, but before European colonization it was home to the Lenape people from whom it was forcibly taken. Acknowledging this fact and working to expand awareness of Indigenous cultures and their rights is important to us.
While at the farm, besides the amenities listed in each listing, you are welcome to hike or walk around and explore our farm which has many acres of woodland, creeks, springs, a pond, and open fields. A hot day is a great time for a walk along - or in - the creek. A rainy day brings out the Red Efts - beautiful orange newts that are all over the woods when you know where to look. We're always glad to point you in the right direction for a nice walk or a longer hike. You may be able to tag along collecting eggs from the hens or feeding some of the other animals we may have.

Learn more about this land:
This wooded area is 5 miles away from the Ohiopyle State Park whitewater launch area and GAP bike trail. We are less than 9 miles from Frank Lloyd Wright's Classic Fallingwater and about 8 miles from Kentuck Knob one of the last resident homes he designed (both are open for tours). Fort Necessity National Battlefield is 5 miles away. There are numerous native trout streams in the area. Youghiogheny Reservoir is 7 miles away for fishing, boat rentals, and water-sports.
The Fern House is the primary camp cabin on the property. Although if someone would want to park a "self contained" camper or small RV on the property we would permit the unit to occupy the area in front of the driveway just pass the entrance gate. It is not within the ferns and is next to the road. There is an electrical outlet available at this small RV or van camper site.
We are "nice pet" friendly. Dogs should not be left in the cabin alone. We have a mountain spring (when the spring is running) up the trail road (450 feet away). The ferns will normally be in full glory by the end of May to mid September and are amazing, covering the forest floor. Deer, bear, wild turkey, fox, chipmunks, squirrels and many woodland birds abound the property especially owls. A picnic table, fire ring and firewood is available on the property. Free WiFi on the property as long as the plant life is not too thick! There is a mile hiking loop right on the property and many challenging trails in the area, including the starting point for the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail. No smoking is permitted in the cabin.

Weekend Trip to FernRock Retreat
This is a phenomenal spot for a relaxing stay. Sandy and John have put a lot of love into this space, and it shows. My girlfriend and I spent the weekend in the cabin by the creek, and even with inclement weather, there was plenty of space inside and plenty to do outside. The cabin was spacious, with two bedrooms, a mediation loft, full kitchen, and bathroom. The weekend was filled with passing thunderstorms, and we made great use of the screened in porch to watch the storms in comfort. Between downpours, we got to kayak, walk the grounds, and watch the plentiful wildlife. Sandy and John were great hosts, super friendly, and really accommodating when the storms knocked out power in the area.
Really great experience, and we'll definitely be back!

Amazing space and even more amazing hosts! Sandy and John provided the exact type of weekend escape my girlfriend and I needed to reset, kayak, meditate, walk some trails, sit on the dock, and still have a full kitchen and shower to come home to. John and Sandy were lovely to chat with every time we encountered them, and were super responsive and gracious when inclement weather hit. We will absolutely be visiting again soon!

We loved this adorable cabin on the hillside especially with the riverfront and the proximity to the ANF. We made it to Jakes Rocks for cycling, Minister Creek for hiking, and also Hector Falls for a short hike. There’s no cell service, which was a great way to unwind. The little cabin has everything you need, feels very homey and locals are super friendly. Make sure to stop at the Blue Jay Inn for food.

The cabin was so sweet - cozy and comfortable. Appreciated the mood lighting and the outlets. There was a thunderstorm right as we arrived, and my dog and i enjoyed hanging out in the treehouse cabin , safe and dry, listening to the rain. The common area was set up nicely, and we enjoyed exploring the woods. Heed the info the hosts post about woodland wildlife. My dog dashed off after a deer on our morning hike, something he’s never done before.
We also enjoyed the pond, though we didn’t play there long. The hosts ask (very reasonably!) that people avoid disturbing the banks much but there was not an easy way for my dog to get out of the pond. He likes to retrieve a toy, so this requires many water entrances (easy) and exits (less easy), and once it became clear he was going to choose to trample on the banks during his exits, we had to stop playing.

This was a wonderful spot! This is the first site you arrive at when you drive into the campground after passing the lovely pond, so it's very easy to find! Still very quiet and serene, though. We were amazed by the comfortable and spacious cabin, and that it had a mini fridge, microwave, and space heaters. Dresser and lamp are very homey, and the cute circular table with chairs was perfect for games and tea. The bench and hooks along the entryway inside were great for storing essentials and getting ready for the day. Cute porch area! Lovely windows look out towards the picnic table and stream across the camp road. Waterfall view as you walk outside! The portapotty was serviced right as we arrived, so it was very pleasant. We did see a black bear a couple time in the far distance behind the cabin, in the woods.
We had reserved this cabin, the Waterfall Cabin, and Tent Site #1 all together for 30th birthday weekend, and that was perfect for feeling like a village yet all spaced out. The Buckhorn Cabin was the perfect central meal and gathering spot amongst the 3 sites.

This cabin has 2 nice chairs on the porch, perfect for gazing at the waterfall! The vibe inside the cabin is more cozy and secluded and cottage-like than the Buckhorn cabin which is a bit brighter, more airy, and bigger. Both cabins have nice rugs in the middle! The Waterfall cabin is so fun to get to across the bridge! The bridge feels very safe. There is a big wheelbarrow cart with bike tires to get your things across the bridge. The portapotty was just serviced as we arrived, so that was very pleasant! It's right on the road side of the footbridge. The distance between this cabin and the Buckhorn cabin is perfect for reserving both cabins together, or being totally secluded due to the footbridge and distance, but you might see each other at the road/ portapotties. The cabin is in its own little world with an overlook clearing by the waterfall, and at least 2 tent sites for Waterfall Cabin folks down by the stream, and even a hiking trail! There is a steep hill going up from behind the cabin which adds to the privacy and secluded feeling. There is a concrete walkway that leads to the waterfall, with a handrail, which is fun as an overlook! Also, as fun activities, I highly recommend Mauch Chunk Lake (which Casey recommended to us!) for beach and kayak rentals! And Lehighton Outdoor Center for bike rentals on the Lehigh Gorge Rail Trail. Both about 20 minutes away.

Beautiful spot in the woods! We could hear the frogs singing all evening, it was so peaceful. We enjoyed our stay very much. The common area has all sorts of little thoughtful touches, and it was filled with all kinds of things you might have forgotten - Liam thought of everything!
We arrived late and it was already dark, and I was a little worried about getting there, but with Liam's mother's directions it was super easy. Well definitely be coming here again when we travel back through :)

The site has a nice covered pavilion with a gas grill, fire pit with a swing near by. The kitchen has a two burner stove, toaster over, fridge, keurig coffee maker, and sink. Hot water, AC, and dvd player and a ton of DVDs which was nice when the storm rolled in.

This chapel was AWESOME! Very unique, set in an incredibly peaceful and serene valley in rural Pennsylvania about an hour outside of Philly. As long as you are prepared with plenty of food and water, and what you need to sleep comfortably, and are prepared to use a pit toilet, you should have a fantastic stay. It was so fun to light candles and wonder about all the history that had happened in the chapel over the years. Plenty of space for a few people to sleep (we had 3). Susannah was open to us coming across the river to their property the next morning to meet some of the horses :) I only wish I had more time to explore the hiking. 10/10 would stay here again in a heartbeat.
