Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Evelyne’s Farm

It’s a beautiful and quite place to be. We had an amazing night right next to the creek and the calming sounds of it. The free firewood and the farm fresh eggs handed with love where another highlight. Thanks for that!

1 night at Rustic Resort at the Farm

I've stayed here twice now. Jennifer has a private, quiet spot in the West Tent. Spots like this are perfect for me in that i carry a tent with me all the time but when driving a 2 day transit, it's nice to have one up already. I haven't used the East Tent but this faces west for the a ice sunset over the field.

Weekend Trip to Sycamore Island

So great! The campsite is large enough for two two-person tents, with a fire ring and picnic table. There's plenty of fallen wood around the island to gather for a fire - bring a hatchet or ax to chop it to size. If you canoe/kayak over, be sure to tie up; the river rose 3 feet overnight due to a downpour two nights earlier, and if my partner hadn't secured the canoes, they would have been long gone.

Weekend Trip to Raising Roots Farm

The spot was beautiful, & I loved the animals. The view from the meadow was exceptional, & we could see three states from where we were. It rained, so there was a small challenge getting up to the spot, but we backed in. It was fine from there. Chelsea is so friendly & accommodating. She’s doing good things for kids on her farm!

Weekend Trip to The Blue Canoe

Great location if you love water side. The site was amazing, we fished and had a fire at our site every day / night. The management team and workers at Blue Canoe are top notch. The bike trail and kayaking all at your figertips is just awesome.. We bought a site there. That's how much we loved it!

Weekend Trip to Sunnyday's Forest

We had a great time at the cabin! Gerald was such a wonderful host, it was a last minute kind of trip and he was so accommodating. All of the animals on the farm were so friendly and patient with my 4 year old son and 2 wild dogs. It was such a delight watching my son and bigger dog interact with the horses and Petunia the pig. My dog was off on his own hanging out with the horses and goats half the trip, I don’t think he’s ever had so much fun. He slept for about 24 hours after we got home lol. Gerald’s care and training of the animals is amazing. My 4 year old was riding a horse all in his own, my girlfriend got to ride an award winning shire, and I enjoyed the company of a kind and gentle pony :) . We highly recommend Gerry and his property and will be returning soon. Don’t forget to add some farm fresh eggs to your trip!

Weekend Trip to Cliff Mine Heights

Enjoyed another stay at Cliff Mine. Easy access to the city, close to shopping and dining. Private, quiet, and safe. Ian and his family are lovely!

Weekend Trip to Runnin Crazy Farm

Mendi's property was amazing, very peaceful. Everyone was very friendly and always asking if there was anything we needed. Very accommodating to my schedule. We definitely be staying again in the future

Weekend Trip to Cliff Mine Heights

Super great parking area and host. Great communication and accurate description of spot.

1 night at Fombell Landing

Very nice property! Full of lots of woods & exploring. Our host was kind & made sure we were set up! Definitely will be back! Beautiful land! & so much exploring for your dog! Neighbors are super friendly as well!

Weekend Trip to Fombell Landing

The site was well maintained and flat. The owner was very hospitable and offered free wood. Also, anyone who drove by stopped and said hello and checked in. Very nice community.

1 night at Riverside camp

Super great camping! We really enjoyed the quiet and peaceful nature!

3 nights at Cliff Mine Heights

Ian's place was perfect for our needs. It was close to everything, but felt pretty private considering it was next to the house. They had electricity which was a plus. It was very easy to communicate with Ian. The place was easy to find and set up. Would definitely use them next trip to Pittsburgh.

29 nights at Horseshoe bend

Amy's place was fantastic! I love that it was on a more secluded road, with quiet neighbors, which made it feel more private. Close to a state park and not far from local grocery stores and gas stations. Amy was a great host and I would definitely stay here again! 10/10

Weekend Trip to Cliff Mine Heights

Nicely kept yard/home.. quiet area. Quick response when I arrived. I wasn't at the camper very often, as I was in Pittsburgh mostly, so I did not meet the host

Weekend Trip to Rustic Resort at the Farm

We stayed in the A-Frame for a late fall weekend getaway and it was great. The cozy A Frame was great to sit around the fire and unwind. It had the amenities we needed (hot plate / access to water and a shower / and super close to plenty of activities). Jennifer and her family were very responsive to any questions we had and even made available items from their farms Farm Stand. We are already planning on coming back again next year.

1 night at Horseshoe bend

Great little spot to stop along the way to your destination. It was somewhat difficult to see in the dark, but the host was able to guide us to the site. The only issue we had was with the sewer location - it is located in a kind of awkward place.

2 nights at Runnin Crazy Farm

Great spot on top of the hill. Quiet relaxing and peaceful. Will definitely utilize this site again in the future.

Weekend Trip to Cliff Mine Heights

Would definitely stay here again. Great location, quiet, safe and welcoming. Everything was as described and pictured. The hosts provided a visitor guide with a lot of great info.

Great property with unique campsites, and the owner was very friendly.

You are required to have a permit for an overnight stay: Please sign this form before submitting your stay request. https://alleghenylandtrust.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Camping-at-Sycamore-Island-Rules-and-Regulations-4.5.16-Fillable.pdf Please plan your visit in advance- requests to camp the same day or day before may not receive a timely approval. Acquired and protected by Allegheny Land Trust in 2008, Sycamore Island is a floodplain forest with a ranking of “high significance” within the Allegheny River Biological Diversity Area (BDA) Natural Heritage Area. Before the island was protected by ALT, the island had periodic interludes of recognition and appreciation by humans as a natural refuge. In 1936, both Sycamore Island and Nine Mile Island were leased from the Pennsylvania Railroad by the Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania, making these islands the first bird sanctuaries in the Pittsburgh region. The Harbor Isle Boat Club was in existence on the island during the late 1960s but was later abandoned leaving behind several significant features; including a barge that remains embedded in the sand at the island’s southern tip, a partially installed swimming pool, docking platform, and a series of offshore pilings in the back channel.

Camping near Cross Creek guide

Overview

Less than an hour’s drive from Pittsburgh and just minutes from the West Virginia state line, the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it town of Cross Creek is best known for its nearby parks. Head to Cross Creek Country Park, the largest in Washington County, to boat, fish, or hike around the lake—there’s also a dog park and boat rentals available. To the north, Hillman State Park has miles of hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding trails, as well as seasonal fishing and hunting, and Racoon Creek State Park is famous for its 314-acre wildflower reserve. Less than 200 people live in Cross Creek itself, so campers and RVers will need to travel a little further. Check in to a nearby RV park with full hookups and pull-thru sites suitable for big rigs, seek out quiet tent camping at a local Hipcamp, or snag an RV site at Racoon Creek with picnic tables and restrooms.
