I love spending time at Craig's property. This was my second visit and somehow it was better than the first trip which was amazing. We weren't able to paddle bc the creek was down, and it wasn't impactful to our fun at all. Just book it! And if you can check out the nearby dirt race track BAPS, fun for kids and adults alike.

This was my second time at Craig’s space and it did not disappoint! Great eating, beautiful scenes and amenities galore. Me and four other friends set up a tent down by creek and woke up to some of the most beautiful sunrises I’ve seen in a while. If you’re into birding, we heard and saw all kinds of amazing feathered friends.
Our dogs explored every inch of the property and we got a chance to kayak pretty far down the Conewago creek. Craig was a master host, incredibly responsive but gave us plenty of room to feel like the space was our own.
I can’t recommend this spot enough!

This was our second stay on Craig's little slice of Heaven and it was just as lovely as the first go round. This trip we saw wild turkeys, deer, countless hummingbirds, toads, and more. Our dog, Thor, had a ball running around off leash. Highly recommend staying here!

Wonderful location - scenic creek running through the property that's great for wading, fishing, or kayaking/canoeing (depending on water level - it was a bit low when we visited in late August). The property is very well kept, well stocked, and Craig was welcoming, helpful, and friendly. We had a great location for our tent near the creek, and played some horseshoes he had set up there. The fire ring was in a nice graveled area, so no worried about rogue sparks. Overall, very enjoyable!

Weekend Trip to Conewago Glamp and Paddle
We had an amazing time at Craig's place - especially our dog Baxter, who could not have been happier! We loved trying out recipes in the clay oven and having direct access to the creek. Craig is an wonderful host and went above and beyond to make sure we had an excellent stay. Hope to be back again soon!

One of the best Hipcamp stays we’ve had! The host, Craig, went above and beyond—building fires, keeping our dishes clean, and even shuttling us up the creek for a dreamy kayak trip. The outdoor kitchen was amazing, with a flat-top grill, one-burner electric stove, firepit, and all the pots, pans, and dishes we needed. The host's craftsmanship shows in everything—pizza ovens, sauna, and log cabin, all built by hand. There’s a queen bed inside the bedroom, great deal of outdoor space enough for our gazebo, hammocks, and tent. We enjoyed fresh herbs from the garden, magical creek bends on a leisurely kayak ride (Craig provided us the kayaks and life jackets), birdwatching, and saw big fish jumping. Walmart is only 15 minutes away by car for supplies. Some morning truck noise from the bridge and low creek water didn’t take away from how special this place was for us!

Weekend Trip to Conewago Glamp and Paddle
Craig’s place is absolutely wonderful! Every detail is thoughtfully and beautifully considered, even the book collection. It’s very peaceful; the sounds of the birds, crickets, stream make it a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy nature. I hope to be back soon!

I selfishly don't want to tell y'all how great this place is. I can't speak highly enough of Craig, he will meet you where you're at in involvement (be as hands off or on as you require). He's kind, patient, and informed. The location was perfect but Craig made it a 6 star glamping experience. Craig has put a lot of time into maintaining the property and curating the vibe, and it shows. Showering in the outdoor shower during a rain shower should be on everyone's bucket list; and we didn't even get to enjoy the sauna (because July). Craig's creek shuttle is ideal for low maintenance, peak enjoyment. Craig will even take a video of you paddling for you. If you are burnt out on the city a weekend at Craig's will bring you back to life.

3 nights at Conewago Glamp and Paddle
Craig is the prefect host. If you’re looking for paddling fun this is the place to visit. Craig offers a ride either up or down stream. We even recommend his place for river tubes because he has a lazy river right off this property. We love water adventures and our dog loved being off leash the entire time. The outdoor kitchen is amazing. We highly recommend this place and will be back very soon.

Craig, the host, was incredible. As others have said, he’s truly the consummate host. He greeted us warmly on day one, then gave us all the privacy we needed while still being super attentive—setting up fires when we asked and even swapping out our dishes and flatware so we could enjoy fresh meals. He was thoughtful, generous, and made the place feel really safe and welcoming.
If you have a dog reactive dog like we do, this is the place to be! We loved how spacious the property was. There was plenty of room for our pup Disco to run freely off-leash, which was such a joy to watch. It made the whole experience feel even more special.
It rained most of the time we stayed (which was of course out of everybody’s control), and Craig was worried we wouldn’t have a good time and was even willing to work with us to reschedule. We needed up staying and are so happy we did. This spot is close to a couple great little towns with good thrifting, food and dessert!
We can’t wait to come back!

Weekend Trip to Conewago Glamp and Paddle
This Hipcamp is a literal slice of heaven! It’s very cozily nestled between a hillside and a creek with a huge yard for dogs - or littles - to run around. The lodgings are very comfortable, clean, and superbly maintained (bedroom, bathroom, outdoor kitchen and shower). The amenities are plentiful! Our favs were the campfire ring, horseshoe lawn game, outdoor pizza oven, wifi, AND fact that our goodest boi could enjoy the property off leash. It was a bit too cold for river hanging or paddling during our stay, but the creek access was simple. The host, Craig, was kind, friendly, anticipated our every need. He was unobtrusive and good at reading his audience (we’re social and really enjoyed chatting with him to learn more about his gorgeous land and many talents!). You will love your stay here. We can’t wait to go back!

Craig was the consummate host! His place is beautiful, directly on the creek. So many amenities!! I enjoyed the fire pit, the Wood-Fired sauna and the outdoor (hot) shower. The bedroom was super cozy and zen- soft blankets and comfy mattress. I would 10/10 recommend💚

The best glamping pods in Pennsylvania guide
Where to go
Pennsylvania Wilds
The evocatively named Pennsylvania Wilds blanket the north and boast some of the state’s best camping and hiking. Views of Pine Creek Gorge, the “Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania,” can be enjoyed at Leonard Harrison and Colton Point State Parks, and there are primitive tent sites and RV sites in the surrounding Tioga State Forest. To the west, the Allegheny National Forest covers more than 500,000 acres, with kayaking, ATV and mountain biking trails, and a national scenic byway.
Pittsburgh & the Great Lakes
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania’s second-largest city, is the first stop in the state’s southwestern corner, and several state parks lie within easy reach. Top of the list is Ohiopyle State Park, where adrenaline seekers go to raft or kayak along the white-water rapids of the Youghiogheny River. In the north, camp resorts and RV parks with full hookups dot the shores of Lake Erie, and you can hop over to the Presque Isle State Park to hike, windsurf, and bird-watch.
South-Central Pennsylvania
West of the Philadelphia region, the state capital, Harrisburg, is the gateway to the southern stretch of Pennsylvania’s Appalachian Trail. Just to the south, a day trip to the chocolate capital of Hersey is a must to stock up for all those s’mores around the campfire, and there’s back-to-basics camping in Amish Country around Lancaster. The Allegheny Mountains rise to the west, where campers can hike in the backwoods, paddle along lazy rivers, or hit the ski slopes.
East Pennsylvania
All roads in eastern Pennsylvania lead to Philadelphia, where you can dive into US history and take a peek at the Liberty Bell. For a wilderness camping experience, head north into the Poconos Mountains—there are more than 100 miles of hiking trails in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, including 28 miles of the Appalachian Trail. Further west, Ricketts Glen State Park has waterfall hikes and a family campground with yurts, cabin rentals, RV camping, and tent sites.
