Pine Grove, PA · 10 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
The 66-acre property has been licensed as an airport (PS20) since the 1980s. It is currently an active, private airport. We don't sell fuel or offer services beyond camping so we primarily have only air traffic with few to no landings each year. In other words, it is very quiet here except during the occasional low pass. We are very eager for pilots to fly in and camp out! The beautiful sunsets and stargazing night skies are a real treat for anyone that comes to visit. Lots of deer, birds, and other wildlife can be seen out and about. Bring your telescope and binoculars to view all the property has to offer! Note that we are always working to improve our slice of heaven, thus we do have tools, vehicles, and equipment stored around the farm that if not used now will be one day. 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. Short drive to the local winery, bowling alley, pub/diner, and movie theater. Grocery stores and gas are also nearby. Miles of hiking, rail trail, single-track mountain biking, and kayaking are all right here! See our kayak and bike rentals under extras!
Hershey Park is approximately a 30-minute drive from our location. Rausch Creek, Anthracite, and Reading off-road areas are also nearby.
Note: Monthly rental discounts are available. Work-stay exchange programs are available. We are always looking for good reliable part-time help on the farm! Please ask!
Fall leaves colors are looking awesome! Come enjoy the leaves by day and stars by night beside your campfire!

Parker, PA · 5 sites · Tents, RVs
Located just outside of Parker, PA and 25 minutes from I-80, our campsite is very accessible, yet still very remote.
*For clarification; some reviewers have remarked that 4WD or lifted vehicles are need for site access. This is false. An AWD vehicle can access every site in all but the worst of conditions, and the Stargazing and Travelers site can be accessed by any vehicle. If you have questions, please message me!*
With 4 campsites on 75 acres, guests have ample privacy and space, with the freedom to roam this posted property that has no homes on it. Perched high above the Allegheny there are several spots to take in the wonderful views. There is also a waterfall with a 3’ deep pool below it. Great for splashing with kids or dogs, guests love exploring the creek bottom and making new discoveries. The more curious guests sometimes find the ruins of the original homestead, chimney and spring house that sit upstream. The property is teeming with wildlife. Birds and tree frogs will be the soundtrack of your visit, and often deer will be seen nosing along the outskirts of your site in the mornings and evenings. Turkey, bald eagles and even bear are occasionally spotted, so be prepared to secure your food and trash at night.
For those coming to disconnect, you have found the right place. But if cell service is needed, you will have enough for texts at all 4 sites, calls at 3 of 4 sites and good internet at 2 of 4 sites.
For those who seek an electrical outlet AND an EV charger, the Travelers site is for you, and included in the price.
Within a 15 minute drive of your campsite you can find The North Country Trail, Rails to Trails Trailheads and Boat Launches on the Allegheny River, Groceries, dining and beer.
Note: Guests wanting The River Ridge site should book their weekends far in advance, or plan a weekday trip.

Hot shower, toilet, drinking water, and trash bin all provided. Minutes from Delaware River swimming, fishing and boating spots. The landscape is enchanting and profoundly peaceful with over a mile of trails through ferns, berry brambles, rock walls, and boulder fields. Enjoy two hammocks at your site, seasoned split firewood, and more. The circular driveway is well maintained and welcomes boat trailers.
Away from it all, but also close to quaint river towns and conveniences. The Upper Delaware River (5 miles) is a crystal clear oasis for tubing, canoeing, and fishing.
When you book, we send you our Visitor's Guide chock full of local gems like Equinunk General Store, Good Find Farm (impeccable organic produce), and Fat Cat Cones country ice cream shop.
Firewood: First crate FREE. Additional for purchase. OK to collect plentiful dead wood.
Wood-fired hot tub: See Site #2 description. It's private for site #2 but if you booked Site #1 and no one is in Site #2, you can hike down and use the hot tub too!
Pets: Site #1 is the designated dog-friendly site.
Host Interaction: We are off site most dates in the Fall but if we are around we’ll say hi when you check in.
Access Logistics: Self check-in/out. Borrow the rugged garden cart to haul gear to your site. Trails use reflective markers for easy night navigation.
Liability Waiver and Rules: You'll get a link to e-sign before arrival. One per family or unrelated adult guest.
Waterfall intensity: Varies with weather. Expect a whitewater torrent after very heavy rain or snowmelt or just a steady spring-fed trickle during droughts.
What's nearby? Hancock NY (15 mins), Honesdale PA (20 mins), Bethel and Livingston Manor NY (45 mins). Rent boats and get Delaware River shuttle service from local business O.A.R.S. Of Hancock.
Running Water for outdoor sink and shower: Available May through Mid October. Frosty late Fall bookings - please bring your own drinking water.
Wildlife: We get a lot of questions about bears and also know there's a rising concern about ticks in the northeast. Black bears do traverse the area. We see one every couple of months on average. They won't bother you. All campers must keep food, trash, cookware, locked away and out of sight. There are ticks in the woods. We find very few on us, even after lots of time in the brush. Check yourself and you'll be fine.
See you on the mountain!

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. Read the entire narrative on the cabin (Tiny Fern House) before booking.

Cammal, PA · 1 site
Welcome to our little slice of heaven along Pine Creek at the southern end of the "PA Grand Canyon". It's an outdoor lover's dream. Cabin currently for rent.
The camp lies inside of Tiadaghton State Forest on the west side of Pine Creek in the Pennsylvania Wilds. The property is 5 acres, embedded deep in public land. On the property there is a cabin and one very large campsite (not currently in use).
The area is beautiful for paddling, floating, fishing, hiking, biking, rock skipping, dipping your toes, swimming hole gems, searching for waterfalls, writing retreats. There are hundreds of miles of hiking, mountain bike and ATV trails, and some of the best fishing and stargazing on the East Coast. There is a 62 mile -rails-to-trails that runs along the other side of Pine Creek from Wellsboro to Jersey Shore, PA. Our camp is located on a secluded hill - a relaxing oasis removed from the rest of the world - read a book in a hammock, build campfires, grill yummy food, let the kids run around like crazy, play a lot of cards.
It a 2 minute walk from the property to public access to Pine Creek.
It is a 45 minute drive to paddle the Western Branch of the Susquehanna near Lock Haven, PA.
Note: Cabin is currently available. Campsite is not at this time.

Tunkhannock, PA · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
We are a working blueberry and flower farm near the town of Tunkhannock, in the Endless Mountains Region of Pennsylvania.
We also have nature and some fun recreational opportunities both on property and close by.
On our property we have an 18 hole disc golf course (more info can be found on Udisc or Facebook page "Campsite Disc Golf"). The course has all PDGA approved chain baskets with wood chip or grass tee boxes. We are constantly upgrading the course, it gets better every year!
We have some beautiful places for walks (or easy hikes) including walking the course even if you don't play disc golf....it makes for some nice clear trails through the woods.
There is a 2 1/2 acre pond where you are welcome to kayak, canoe or paddleboard. A 10 acre swamp, a small creek (that does often dry up in the summer....it's beautiful in the spring), and bountiful wildlife.
Nearby are many more recreational opportunities. Within driving distances varying from 5 minutes to an hour (most things within 20 minutes) are a river, two creeks, several lakes (all with public boat access, some with swimming), hiking and biking trails, wineries, brewery, restaurants, a movie theater and shopping (grocery stores and the small downtown are less than 10 minutes).
We can provide more information and directions for any activities you are interested in.
Our private road which leads to the areas available for camping has only one resident who lives past (with access rights to use the road to get to his property) so it is secluded with no traffic. It can be very dark on moonless nights which is fantastic for stargazing. Intrepid winter campers will find the sky is most crisp clear and incredible in the winter....but the summer is still quite spectacular.
Blueberry season is all of July and spilling into August (although winding down by then). During that time the Grassy corner site is more out of the way and quieter. The Most Convenient Woods is close but separate, no one except a passing disc golfer can easily look into your site. You will hear activity in the blueberry field during the day. Possibly including a noise maker that makes a periodic boom in the mornings to keep the birds from stealing all the berries (we are looking for quieter bird scaring options for the future). We try to keep that to a minimum especially if campers are present but can't promise silence. The noise maker is turned off as soon as customers are present so it is just a little while in the morning.

We had a wonderful, quick weekend getaway to Camp Skipping Rock! We had 2 adults and 5 teenagers with us and everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. If you are looking for a “fancy” place to stay, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful, private, cosy camp, this is the place for you. We loved the big yard and the proximity to the creek was great. The boys spent a ton of time swimming and fishing, while the girls painted rocks, swam and put puzzles together. Our dogs loved the freedom this private camp provided and my husband and I enjoyed the peace and quiet. Everyone in our group agreed that we should come back for a longer stay. Thank you for sharing your place with us, Katharine!

We had a great time camping! The sites were clearly marked and despite the wet road conditions getting back to our site, our Impreza was able to easily get in and out. The site felt private and has a nice picnic table and fire pit with numerous grates, tongs, etc to use for fire cooking. The outhouse was well stocked with wood chips, toilet paper, and hand sanitizer. The onsite firewood was also very convenient and reasonably priced. We got caught in some thunderstorms, so the platform came in handy to keep us off the ground.
The highlight is definitely the short walk down to the beautiful waterfall! What a hidden gem! We definitely will be back - hopefully with less rain :)

This site is so crazily underrated. The drive out was pleasantly remote. The camping site itself is immaculate, well-manicured and splendidly vast. Be absolutely sure to take the trail to the waterfall and leave plenty of time to stay and soak in the gorgeous little stream with lots of dramatic water falls. This site was wonderfully quiet and overlooked the Allegheny River in a way inexplainable in pictures. The hosts written directions to the site are absolutely accurate and concise; follow them to a “t” and you’ll have no trouble locating it. This was one of my favorite camp sites of all time and my ten-year old loved it as well and wants to return. Bring a frisbee, some favorite beverages, great food and your troubled soul to be revived.

Such a great place! The cabin is bigger inside than we expected. Beds and even the sofa were comfortable. Loft is super low but was fun for the kids. Theres plenty of inside games to try but bring your own outside games. Kitchen had pretty much everything. Fire pit was great and having local dry wood to use was definitely key. Creek walk was super fun, we went every day it wasnt raining. Spent one day at Lake Tobyhanna nearby. Feels like youre in the woods but Aldi is 10 minutes away. We would absolutely come back. Saw 2 fox, 1 salamander, many slugs, butterflies and caterpillars. Wish we could take the fresh air home :)

This campsite is the most magical place. It’s as if they took everyone’s childhood nature dream and made it come true. We went with my three children (10, 8 and 16 months) and our dog and not once did my kids complain about being bored or the lack of screen time. Our favorite part was the swimming hole by the waterfalls. The pictures don’t do it justice…it’s truly a place out of a fairytale. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Camp Dietrich on Bear Creek
This place is an absolute gem. When they tell you you really just need to pack food and your clothes, they’re not lying. My friends and I are kinda gear heads and over packers, we didn’t need 1/2 the stuff we packed. The property itself has so many beautiful hiking trails, so you don’t even need to leave if you don’t want but Jim Thorpe is only about 15/20 minutes away so our group stopped there for lunch on the way home. We wished we stayed one more day. I will say- make sure you pack boots or some other sturdy shoes as it is very rocky. Our group is planning our next trip soon, we can’t wait to come back!
