Weekend Trip to Clarion Heights

Nice spot in the mountains. Quiet and peaceful. You do smell the paper plant at some times depending on the wind, but it didn’t bother me.

1 night at Green Acres Glampground

Tracy and Rob’s Glamping sites were truly lovely!! There are only about 4 of them, so it is very peaceful and private. Our site was called River’s Edge, and it was perfect for us. Tracy and Rob were very responsive and helpful with my questions, and they even allowed us to have a late check-out. The tent was beautiful, the bed was very comfortable, and the porta-potty was clean and well maintained. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for a few days of peace and solitude without all of the work of a full-blown camping trip!

Weekend Trip to RoundStone

such a lovely campsite!!! private and good parking situation! it is wooded and had a nice long picnic table for our group of 8 people i already booked it again!

Weekend Trip to Conowingo Creek Campsite

Absolutely perfect little site. We are experienced campers and usually do our own tent/grill/chairs and so on, but really enjoyed taking an easier route to set up this time and got to focus more of our time on the best parts of camping! There is some ambient noise from the surrounding farms and roadways, but the overall enjoyment of the site made us forget about it quickly. The easy walk to the creek was a fun way to spend some time, and our dogs loved romping in the water. Our hosts were gracious and communicated perfectly. We are already planning to come back again!

2 nights at Conowingo Creek Campsite

From the moment we arrived, we knew this campsite was something special. The tent was absolutely perfect. It was spacious, clean, and incredibly cozy. The bed was so comfortable, we slept like logs each night under the stars. Some of our favorite memories were made cooking dinner and chatting around the fire with my daughters. There’s something so grounding about sharing stories under a canopy of trees, the flames crackling and laughter echoing into the night. We also loved the peaceful walks to the nearby creek. It was such a beautiful, tranquil spot. It became our little escape, where we could splash, explore, or simply sit and enjoy the serenity. This was a memory-making experience that we’ll carry with us forever. Highly, highly recommend!

1 night at The River's Edge

Pulled into a very well labeled easy to find site, well kept, and absolutely perfectly set up. It was a very peaceful getaway. Couldn't have asked for anything better.

1 night at Rustic Acres - Elevated RV Camping

We loved camping here for a night, wish we had a bit longer. The camping area had many updates, a comfortable common room with lots of seating, internet and coffee. Modern, clean bathrooms. Laundry, outdoor games and play areas, even a “beach” with seating by a running Crick. We stayed in one of the adventure sites, perfect for a Class B camper…. Power, water and a dump station were included.

Weekend Trip to Laureleye Farms

Wonderful place. I will be back. It was clean, cozy, and provided candles in which I read into the late night. I sincerely adore the place and many who saw photos are envious.

Weekend Trip to Pocono Point

I loved the tent camping in this site, where you are next to the river with an awesome clean will organized place. I definitely recommend it and will do it again.

Weekend Trip to RoundStone

A Gem of a Campground - Highly Recommend! We just returned from a fantastic camping trip and had to share our experience at Round Stone. This place is a true gem! From the moment we arrived, the check-in process was smooth and easy. Casey's communications on expectations were on point. We stayed at Tent Site 4, which was perfect for our needs. It was spacious, well-maintained, and offered a good amount of shade. The ground was level, making setting up our tent a breeze. We also had a great fire pit and picnic table at our site. One thing that truly stood out was the cleanliness of the facilities. We've been to campgrounds where the portable toilets are less than desirable, but the porta-potties here were spotless! It's clear the staff takes great pride in keeping the grounds clean and comfortable for everyone. This alone makes a huge difference in the overall camping experience. Beyond our site and the clean restrooms, the campground itself was wonderful. The atmosphere was peaceful and exactly what we were looking for in a getaway. Overall, we were incredibly impressed with Roundstone and are already planning our next trip back. If you're looking for an excellent campground with great sites and exceptionally clean facilities, look no further! Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to The River's Edge

We had a great time camping at the Lagoon, the scenery was beautiful and the camp site was set up very well. We will definitely recommend Thomas’ campsites to our friends and family!

Weekend Trip to Rustic Acres - Elevated RV Camping

Such a hidden gem. Clean, convenient and well maintained.

2 nights at West Creek Campground

What a great spot! The dwellings were so cute and had everything we needed. There was a cute welcome letter with fire starter and smores for each of us. There is touch lights and an outlet. The beds were so comfy and we stayed warm. We got two bundles of wood for the fire and the bathrooms were so clean! There is WiFi but we had enough service as well which was nice to touch base with love ones when we got back from hiking all day. We were the only ones this week but we would love to come back again. It was such a lovely place to stay and close to Ricketts glen and worlds end state park. Thank you for hosting us!!

2 nights at River Mountain Outdoors

It was a wonderful experience and just the cozy vibe I was looking for. The hiking trail next to the river was beautiful, it was a pristine and breathtaking property. The hosts were accommodating and a wonderful couple. We had plenty of privacy and they were quick to respond if we needed anything. It was all in all a really peaceful and relaxing place!

Weekend Trip to Little Mahanoy Creek Campground

Cute little riverside cabin. Just loved it here. Plenty of firewood on site and easy to find with the directions. 15 mins away from my favorite winery and food at spyglass ridge. I will definitely stay again next winery trip.

Weekend Trip to Fairview Farms Airfield

I never wanted to leave the Treehouse! I was actually surprised at how comfortable and cozy it was! I booked this weekend getaway to decompress and refill my cup. I certainly chose the right place to do those things! The property is absolutely gorgeous and very well cared for! As are all of the incredible animals! The views are spectacular, no matter where you look! The farm is in close proximity to gas stations, stores, restuarants and many different activities, but you really don't even need to leave the farm to have a great time! Thank you for a magnificent stay! Can't wait to return!

Weekend Trip to Camp Dietrich on Bear Creek

What a delight! We were two friends visiting for 2 nights, and it was perfect. Even though we visited at the very beginning of the season, there is lots of greenery on account of the evergreen rhododendrons. The site was very spacious and private. Scott was a fantastic host and the amenities were top notch. Would love to return when the creek is a little warmer (although a cold plunge by the waterfall was great too!). Several scenic trails on premises, looking forward to returning to hike them all.

Weekend Trip to RoundStone

Pretty secluded from other campers, perfect space to connect with nature and friends! Little nature walk to the creek was also great

Weekend Trip to RoundStone

What an absolute camping trip! I booked a camping trip for Friday night-Sunday morning. Majority of the time we were there it was pouring rain!! However, that didn’t stop us from having fun at all. We put a tarp right under the camp fire, and thankfully our sent had a SHED! So we put most of our stuff like kitchen stuff, and things that we didn’t want to get wet. Which was an absolute life saver! Had such a great camping trip despite the rain. Casey the owner also made everything such a breeze. From booking the trip, asking questions and even a partial refund from last minute some of my friends canceling. 5 stars out of 5! My friends and I decided we are coming back to this area. Super chill, relaxed vibe which is what we needed!

Weekend Trip to Conowingo Creek Campsite

My family of four adults had a short but wonderful stay at Conowingo Creek! Gini was a terrific host and very accomodating when we had to modify our schedule. Everything about the site was beautifully and thoughtfully considered and executed, and it was very clear that Gini and her husband put a lot of effort into making each visit special. We definitely hope to go back!

The River's Edge

8 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents60 acres · Pocono Woodland Lakes, PA

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 (say 'hi' to Jim). 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.

Bring your telescope and binoculars to view all the property has to offer!

We appreciate your understanding that some areas are used for our personal / farm storage. If you're not into looking at our farmware, there are a few nearby campgrounds. The hot tub is located next to the owner's home. Guests are welcome to use this at any time but must reserve and pay for a time slot. * Book this through the Extras * We are within walking distance of Swatara State Park and close to the Appalachian Trail.

River Mountain Outdoors

5 sites · Lodging, Tents83 acres · Bloomsburg, PA

The history of the Pump House began in 1878, when three ambitious men hatched a plan for the world's first long-distance underground oil pipeline which would transport oil from well to refinery more quickly and efficiently than the horse-drawn wagons of the time. Pumping stations were needed every fifty miles along this long route to keep pressure on the pipeline so that the oil could reach its destination. Pump House Bed and Breakfast is one of the only properties in the country in which the both the original homes of the foremen and the large brick buildings remain. Doug, owner, has spent more than 20 years lovingly restoring these foreman houses as well as the large industrial brick buildings. The Brick Barn Hall once housed steam pumps to pressurize the pipe and keep the oil moving, and the Catawissa Cabin behind it served as the telegraph office. The Studio Hall contained boilers that produced the steam to power the pumps, while the adjoining Studio Cabin functioned as a blacksmith's workspace. Today, the buildings function as reception spaces for weddings and other special events, and house private suites as well as an art studio where Doug pursues his work and teaches drawing, ceramics, and stained glass classes. The Season House, one of the two foreman homes, features additional guest accommodations while Doug resides in the other foreman house. Visit and experience a piece of PA history!
