Big Oak Hill

1 site · RV, Tent1 acre · NY
This is a newly created campsite that has picturesque view of surrounding farmland and of Peek-n-Peak. Located conveniently off of Rt426 with a slight drive along a field to reach the destination. Private and out of the way. Plenty of wildlife (family of fox and usually mamma deer and her babies, can normally be seen doing what animals do. Close to Peek-n-Peak and Findley Lake and its many amenities. Has fantastic cell reception so remote working is an absolute possibility if longer stays are wanted. This is a little campsite on top of a hillside besides, you guessed it, a big oak. This is on a working hay farm, so depending on when you arrive you might be able to see hay being harvested. Again, this a new campsite so improvements will be made based on demand. To enter the property, you will use a field entrance right off Harrington Hill Road (coming from the west it will be on your left-hand side). We have the way marked for you with posts/markers so hopefully it will take you right there. Please be aware this is located on top of a hill (with a big oak, hence its name :)) and you will be going through an active hay field to reach it.

Chappel Hill Tree Farm

2 sites · RVs, Tents140 acres · Grand Valley, PA
This 140-acre property is an old farmstead last farmed in the 1950's. It lies in the Allegheny Plateau region of NW Pennsylvania and is mostly hardwood forest today. It is surrounded by thousands of acres of private forestland and is very secluded. Our goal is to provide a private and secluded yet accessible camping experience where you will see more deer than people. AANR/TNS friendly. There is excellent Verizon and T-Mobile service. The skies are dark at night and the sounds of nature will surround you. Campsite 1 is near where the farmhouse and barn once stood. The site is shaded by large, old maples that once shaded the farmhouse. Old fields surround the farmstead, but the woods are a short walk away.  It is the most popular campsite with an outhouse, fire ring and picnic table available. Campsite 2 is on the other side of the property. There is a fire ring but no picnic table.  Both sites easily accommodate anything from tents to RV's. Each site has a separate, gated, gravel road access. These are the only 2 campsites on the property and they are far enough apart (1/4 mile) to avoid any contact should both sites be occupied. There is a 2-mile loop hiking trail on the property that traverses a variety of habitats which are home to many animals and birds. The trail is well maintained and mowed. The terrain is flat to gentle slopes. The 1/2-mile Narnia Loop trail weaves through a young spruce forest like a maze. It is so cool, literally, even on the hottest days. The Allegheny River is about 10 miles away, near Tidioute, PA, and has excellent paddling and fishing. Titusville, PA is about 15 miles away and is home to Oil Creek State Park which has great trout fishing, an excellent paved bike/hike trail, and Drake Well Museum site of the first oil well ever drilled. Finally, you will be on the doorstep to the Allegheny National Forest with all the outdoor recreation it has to offer. We hope you enjoy the peace and quiet of nature on our property as much as we have. If you are curious about more details of the history and management of the property, please ask your host, Dave Trimpey, and he will be glad to share his knowledge of the land.

French Creek Flood Plain Overlook

1 site · Tent36 acres · Union City, PA
This tent site sits in the woods on a hill just above the corner of French Creek (2022 PA River of the Year!) and a small tributary creek. It faces northwest over the valley providing amazing sunset views. This location is on the high-side of the Union City Dam which is a dry bed, flood control dam. Which means during snow melt, or rainy streaks, the dam will fill up and flood the entire valley. However during dry spells, French Creek will appear as any other creek. At peak flooding, it will make its way all the way up the tributary valley, making a beautiful lake front campsite. Unfortunately, this only occurs a few weeks out of the year (typically early spring and occasionally during wet falls) and is fairly unpredictable (you can compare the high-water vs low-water views from the photos). Most of the summer you can still enjoy the view over both the tributary valley and French Creek valley. (DISCLAIMER: Once or twice a year during the wettest streaks, the water rises high enough to flood the driveway, making it impossible to drive up directly to the campsite. If this happens, you will be notified before so you can choose either to be refunded and not stay or you can park 100 yards up the road and hike into the campsite to enjoy the unique and rare lakefront views. Again, these are natural events that are infrequent and unpredictable, but also provide a truly spectacular setting.) Located at the end of a dead end dirt road, adjacent to 100's of acres of federal protected land, and within sight of agriculture fields, there is an abundance of wildlife. For over 20 years, an active eagles nest has been located 1 mile north providing amazing opportunities to see either adult or juvenile eagles flying over French Creek hunting for fish. Deer can be seen early morning and late evening in the fields, as well as frequently crossing both valleys. All types of waterfowl flock the lake when it's flooded. I've personally seen up to 1000 geese at one time. Beyond relaxing and wildlife watching, there are plenty of other activities to explore in the area. Access to many nature walking trails. The Union City Dam, less than 1.5 miles down the road, provides walking, biking, scenic driving, and picnic opportunities. Kayaks/canoes can be used to float the creek when dry or paddle up and down the reservoir lake when flooded. Centrally located between the 2 small towns of Union City and Waterford with gas stations, grocery stores, great local dinning options, and more. About a half an hour drive to Erie and Presque Isle State Park. Come enjoy this extremely unique stretch of French Creek and Pennsylvania woods! DISCLAIMER: There is an active gravel pit to the North of the campsite. During weekdays from about 7 AM-5 PM, you will likely hear and possibly see some activity from the gravel pit.

This is exactly the kind of spot I've been looking for. I enjoyed privacy but still felt like I had people nearby for safety if needed. The view was spectacular and being surrounded by nature is exactly what I was looking for. This site was perfect for my car and tent. It was level and I had room for both my car, tent and canopy and still be able to sleep level in my car. I was blessed with perfect weather and was even able to sleep in my hammock for a night.

Weekend Trip to CHERRY VALLEY CHILL
If you’re looking to completely disconnect, unwind, and experience nature at its best, this secluded campsite is the place to be. Tucked away from the noise and crowds, it felt like our own private slice of paradise. The peace and quiet were unmatched, just the sounds of birds, the crackling fire, and the rustle of trees in the breeze. The site was beautifully maintained. We had plenty of space to spread out, and it felt incredibly safe and serene. At night, the stars were unreal. Waking up to the fresh morning air, was exactly the kind of reset we needed. This place is everything a campsite should be – peaceful, scenic, and unforgettable. We’re already planning our next trip back. If you’re lucky enough to snag a reservation, don’t hesitate. Just go.

This was a very clean, peaceful and quiet cabin. It felt very secluded, safe & it was so cute & clean and smelled so nice. Cleanliness is important to us, and it was extremely clean and tidy! I didn’t see a single spider or bug inside the cabin, Dishes, utensils, bug spray, garbage bags, paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, hand soap, a fan, pillows & blanket and even body wipes were provided. It was REALLY HOT when we stayed in this cabin. Thank goodness for the screens, generator & fans! Fuel for the generator was provided. The cabin was very, very clean. The futon/bed was very comfy. We were very happy with the accommodations. The port-a-potty was clean. The host was very good at communication. Our only suggestion for enhancement of the experience would be that there was a rusty barrel over flowing with stinky garbage, and with all the heat it smelled terrible. (Maybe move it further away from the cabin so guests are not tempted to leave their garbage behind.) Not a deal breaker, and we would definitely stay there again. Also, (minor, but…) it would have definitely enhanced the experience if the woody area where the fire pit is had been cut & maybe weed wacked.. The woods were BEAUTIFUL, but the area where the firepit is was really over grown and kinda swampy. Just giving improvement suggestions. Not deal breakers at all. Even with those 2 things mentioned, do NOT let those deter you from renting this cute little cabin. We would highly recommend! Giving 5-stars! *****

Kevin’s place is picturesque farmland and far off woods. I love that we were the only campers there. It is private and the views are wide and beautiful. We were able to catch a couple stunning sunsets. The skies are clear and deep with stars. In the morning the sun lights up the field below. I recorded over 25 species of birds on the Merlin app. An eagle visited twice; I think that it hunts from the big Oak. I spied a coyote in a far off field looking for mice. We also saw turkeys and mama deer with their babies. The place is easy to find but not easy to arrive at after lots of rain. We needed some assistance upon arrival then settled into the level patch at the site. After, we lowered the pressure in our tires and made it with no help. It was so worth the struggle. We have a rear wheel drive Promaster so we expect challenges. Planned to split our days between Presque Isle, Findley Lake and Chautauqua, but in the end, spent all the time at Presque Isle since it is so beautiful. Kevin and Nick could not have been nicer. They are thoughtful and wanted to be sure that we enjoyed our trip; we did! Hopefully we will return again this year. Want to get some star pictures for sure.

Weekend Trip to French Creek Flood Plain Overlook
David's campsite exceeded our expectations in tranquil views and a peaceful oasis that's not too far from home. Came during June when the dam was filled up so we had an incredible view of the water. All the lightening bug activity was a mesmerizing show every night. Walked to the Union City dam up the street one day, another day we went to Presque Isle. Lots of trees perfect for setting up a hammock. Saw a turkey, lots of deer, frogs, heard coyote at night. Lots of stargazing. Great campsite! Thanks for hosting us, David!

Steve and Cindy are wonderful people! Their property is beautiful and quiet with both an open field for trailers and wooded spots for tents. Because of all the rain, we weren't able to park in the field but they invited us to park our trailer along their long gravel driveway. We had a great stay and enjoyed checking out the area. Cindy told us about the local town beach and my kids had a blast swimming. I know where we'll stay next time we're passing through!

It is a beautiful spot on the top of a hill with an excellent sunset view. There were thousands of fireflies in late June. One thing to consider is there is no road to the campsite. When I went, it had been raining previous days and the ground was soggy; my hybrid minivan (an heavy vehicle) actually couldn’t made the drive. Kevin will drive stuff up to the campsite if needed.

Loved the non-traditional campsites (only 2) so they are spacious and you are not crammed together or lined up like a parking lot. They face each other, so if you are camping with friends or family, this is ideal. But we met some very nice people, so we weren’t bothered by having other campers nearby. There is still a good amount of space between the campsites. The canopy of tress was wonderful and the walk to Lake Erie is very close by.

We are a working homestead trying our best to do right by mother earth. We have 20 acres that offer nice trails to enjoy the peace of nature, duck/goose pond, kayaks, paddleboat, big pond with islands, moss beach, fire pits, picnic tables, meeting room/A frame available if needed. Camping in the forest surrounded by ancient woodlands. So close to I90 our property touches it, don't worry there is a fence at that outer tree line you can see the highway in some areas or edges and car show days are great times to look. You will hear all the noises Ashtabula county has to offer. Including but not limited to the highway, Benetka Rd Covered Bridge is part of the driving trail, there is a cool off road park down that way has events as well vroomvroom, AND we have roosters, chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, rabbits, who knows what that noise was? If you are looking to only hear nature this is not the homestead to choose. Not far from all of the amazing Ashtabula attractions. Super close to harbor and cute small towns, wineries, fun local shops, and Lake Erie beaches. Short drive to Erie PA not far from NY boarder. Lots of online delivery to us options. Outhouse available but no electricity and no bath house yet. Ask about sapling adoption!!! Please ask us anything and everything tell us if you know something we love to learn and we are still learning about this wonderful piece of earth we are trying to survive on.

Camping near Erie guide

Overview

Walk along the Lake Erie shoreline in Erie, Pennsylvania, and you may be able to spot Canada off in the distance. Erie, PA sits right on the edge of the country, but there’s no need to leave the city anytime soon. With a lighthouse, zoo, and plenty of museums, Erie has more than enough to keep campers busy. Camp for a few days, and you’ll quickly get the lay of the land and the lake. Campsites—from family-friendly resorts to romantic cabin campgrounds—surround the city, so you can wander Erie’s parks and beaches to your heart’s content.

Where to go

Presque Isle State Park

If there’s one must-see in Erie, PA, it’s Presque Isle State Park. Campsites around the park run the gamut, so you can park your RV at a site with full hookups or simply park yourself at a cabin of your choosing. From your tent with a lakefront view, it’s easy to forget that Lake Erie is a lake—and not its own, vast ocean.

Erie Bluffs State Park

Head west of Erie, and you’ll stumble into Erie Bluffs State Park just miles before the Pennsylvania-Ohio border. After you check into your cabin with a picnic table, enjoy a leisurely lunch amidst the park’s bluffs. You didn’t think it’s called Erie Bluffs State Park for no reason, did you? If you’d rather an action-packed getaway, the park offers hiking, fishing, and, in the colder months, cross-country skiing.

East of Erie

If you’d rather venture toward New York, follow the shoreline east of Erie. Along the water, you’ll find Shades Beach Park, where playgrounds, beaches, and trailheads all come together. Further inland, family-friendly campsites near Six Mile Creek Park offer even more hiking trails, each with unique scenery. Rent a campsite with running water, wifi, and onsite bathrooms, and you’ll embrace all things nature with all things convenient.

When to go

Erie, PA camping was made for warm weather, when beach camping is at its best. If you enjoy swimming, boating, kayaking, or just generally exploring the great outdoors, come to Erie in the summer, when you can make the most of the area’s nature. Many campsites, however, remain open year-round. Book a yurt with bunk beds or a cabin with electricity, and we promise: beach weather will be nothing more than an afterthought.
