With kids

2 nights at Conowingo Creek Campsite

Gini’s campground was wonderful, the perfect spot to introduce my toddlers to camping. The river was calm enough for the kids to go tubing for the first time as well. Gini and her husband are incredible hosts, highly recommend!

1 night at Conowingo Creek Campsite

We loved our glamping adventure. The peace and quiet and the quality time was priceless. Actually when we got home did not turn the TV on until nighttime. We highly recommend this site.

Weekend Trip to Shambala at Mystic Hollow

Wonderful spot, nearby creek, lovely host! Very peaceful stay!

Weekend Trip to Shambala at Mystic Hollow

Best tent site I have ever been to! It was in the middle of the nature yet accessible by network and close to the town. The water was very refreshing and I did not feel like leaving. Would definitely come back here.

Weekend Trip to Shambala at Mystic Hollow

I absolutely adore Mystic Hollow <3 it’s so tranquil. Mel is a kind host who works hard to make sure her guests needs are met. There was a lot of space especially for a holiday weekend. Mel was also flexible with our campsite position due to the weather which was nice. 10/10 I’ll be back!

What a unique place ! Loved the rustic tiny house ! Quiet , private and peaceful. The bathroom was clean and well equipped. Lost power because of a crazy storm but was still good ! Would book the other tiny house or the rustic again . Got in the creek felt really good . You need water shoes :)

Treehouse is cozy even when it’s way below freezing! Come enjoy!!

2 nights at Fairview Farms Airfield

It was awesome, I was originally worried it was too close to a house but no, it was in a grassy knoll, the tree gave shade and the hammock by the water was an awesome place to read a book.the tree house held the three of us like champs. We took the liberty of ordering some add one like the unlimited package so I could have no worries on supplies and we rented a kayak and John boat. Bill was awesome because we brought the wrong vehicle to take them to the lake so he let us slide him a measly 25.00 bucks n he delivered them and picked them up so we could still enjoy the water..im excited to hear they are open year around so we will be back for some winter camping

10 nights at Fairview Farms Airfield

Great place to camp. Host are extremely knowledgeable and Friendly. They go out of their way to be sure your stay is pleasant. I would recommend staying here.

Weekend Trip to Stonehedge Gardens Holistic Retreat

We stayed only one night but had a great experience. Tom met us when we arrived and gave us a quick tour around the property. Very welcoming and peaceful place to set up camp. There were other campers at other sites but we didn’t get the chance to meet any of them.

Erin and Bill, your hosts at the RUSTIC tent experience.

Weekend Trip to Fairview Farms Airfield

I loved the cabin on Bill and Erin’s land. The cabin we were staying at was a very scenic place. Good maintenance and the property also had various facilities provided such as clean restrooms, firewood etc. The directions were clear and simple. Centrally located to nearby city’s grocery store and other businesses! Definitely would like to come back!!

Weekend Trip to Shambala at Mystic Hollow

It’s always so beautiful here. I arrived in the rain but next day was hot. The stream was cold and lovely to sit by. Make sure you bring bug repellant, mosquitoes and biting flies are everywhere after a rain. Site 10 is furthest away and private but has just one step down to the creek. Mel is always so helpful and kind, my dogs love the freedom to sprint through the field and roam as we walk. This is always my favorite camping spot.

Weekend Trip to Stonehedge Gardens Holistic Retreat

What a beautiful place! Falling asleep to the sound of the stream was fantastic! A perfect little getaway and Tom the host was terrific! He gave a tour of the property and gave a little background information on the holistic retreat! He even placed hay down on our campsite since it was muddy from the rain! Will definitely be camping back here again!!

Weekend Trip to Conowingo Creek Campsite

Wow! Just wow! Family of 5, our first time camping and we left wanting more days. Gini is an amazing Camp Host, definitely very clean, kid friendly and it was so much help having all the utensils, soap , etc. Already there. Already planning our next stay.

Weekend Trip to GreenHills Camp

The truth is that this place has been one of the most beautiful places I've visited for camping, everything is very clean, nature is in all its splendor, the birds sing to you day and night, something super relaxing, the truth is that I recommend it 100%.

2 nights at Dj Duncan's Piece of Heaven

Highly recommend! We had an amazing experience staying at Donald's farm. He and his wife were so welcoming, they showed us around the farm, we got to see how they milk the cows, and were overall very accommodating. The beautiful views and the stunning sunsets were a nice bonus. Thanks for having us!

3 nights at Fairview Farms Airfield

Had a technical issue but Bill made everything work out so perfectly. This is our second year to their camp and we will be back. Views from the top of the airfield are spectacular! So many awesome trails and water nearby for activities.

4 nights at Fairview Farms Airfield

So child and dog friendly! We have 3 children and 2 dogs and it was as easy as being home. It was a safe place for them to explore, lots of walking opportunities and are well stocked with amenities. The washing machine was a lifesaver! Beds are SO comfy, sofa is luxurious, TV was a win for quiet time. Their dogs are fenced in but so well behaved around ours! Views are beautiful. Ticks are a non issue for the most part (compared to Long Island 🥲). There are campers dotted around the property but everyone has their own space and privacy. The property itself is a beautiful walk and if you have kids/dogs and want somewhere to go play, we highly recommend going to the Fossil Site (5 min drive to Swopes Valley Trail/15 min walk to site) and climbing up behind the site to a beautiful creek that they will spend HOURS playing in. Take water shoes or extra shoes to do this! We also loved Frog Valley Environmental Trail and Sweet Arrow State park. Both are child and dog friendly (on leash). For food we went to Buddys Log Cabin, Around the Bend, Pine Grove Diner and Mooses LZ, all of which were great. We have no complaints and had a wonderful time. Thank you so much!

1 night at Fairview Farms Airfield

Met Bill last night, went on a ride around the property and picked a nice spot to stay on top of the runway. Pretty easy going guy, property clean, quiet, fields cut, water, bathroom, fire rings, etc. Anything you could need for a night or more.

7 nights at Fairview Farms Airfield

We had an amazIng visit. Bill was so helpful and responded to our needs immediately. He was there to greet us the moment we arrived. The property is so spacious, peaceful and quiet. Our dogs had a blast on their walks. Bill gave us a tour of their property. We only wished we had more free time to enjoy all it had to offer. We will definitely stay here again. This property gets 2 thumbs up from us. Thanks for a great stay Bill and Erin.

2 nights at River Mountain Outdoors

We loved and enjoyed our time at the creek front campground. Doug was an excellent host showing us all the amenities on site when we arrived. His land was a peaceful and majestic little campground. You’ll fall in love with the tranquil sounds of the flowing creek while laying in a hammock or being lulled to sleep at night. We were visited by beautiful colorful dragonflies and even a turtle. This was a relaxing getaway that I can’t wait to get back to. Thank you so much Doug for sharing your space.

Fairview Farms Airfield

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! Follow us on Instagram: @fairview_farms_airfield

Shambala at Mystic Hollow

15 sites · RVs, Tents6 acres · Mohrsville, PA

Pitch your tent along Irish Creek under a canopy of Maples at Mystic Hollow. Irish Creek, which is a stream, is a tributary to the Schuylkill River. Site are a 5 minute walk from main house. The land is flat for walking to the camping area. A slight bit bumpy in a small area. I can manage just fine in flip flops but I did want to provide the information if anyone would be using a wheelchair. There is also a small bridge that goes over a small strip of wetlands. Fire rings are included. Tables can be provided. Just let us know ahead of time. I can haul your gear to your spot with tractor and wagon if needed. There is a port-a-potty close by. We are flexible with check-in and check-out times if we are not at full capacity. Just let us know ahead of time if you want to check in or out earlier or later. We allow dogs. They must be on leashes unless they are friendly and play well with others. You must clean up your dog's poop! No exceptions! We are 5 minutes from the Schuylkill River. 10 minutes from Ontelaunee Lake. 15 minutes from Blue Marsh. 15 minutes from the Appalacian Trail. Trail heads nearby would be Port Clinton, Hamburg, Bernville, Bethel, Blue Rocks, Kempton... 20 minutes from Hawk Mountain. We are an hour from Jim Thorpe. There are several wineries in the area including Long Trout Winery where wine is cool and hippy chicks rule! My favorite! Lots of wildlife in the area. Expect to hear owls, blue heron, cows, goats, chickens, horses, hawks, eagles, dogs, racoons and coyotes. There is a good chance of being visited by racoons at night if your food isn't stored away properly. Also, the deer may walk past in the middle of the night as well. We do also get wild turkey during different times of the year. Hiking, kayaking, tubing, fishing, mountain biking, bike trails, etc... all nearby. Sadly there are no fish in Irish Creek worth catching. The Crayfish are! As with any land situated along a water source, there is always a possibility of flooding. We flood maybe once a year, once every other year. If that should happen, we will assist in hauling gear. There is higher ground for tents to be set up if need be. There will also be rooms available to rent in the near future. Please don't hesitate to contact us with questions. 420 friendly. LGBTQ friendly. If you are coming from out of state: Pennsylvania has a quarantine order for untreated firewood entering the state to protect its forests from invasive species. Firewood must be kiln dried, heat treated, fumigated, or USDA certified to enter the state. However, commercially imported wood that has been heat-treated according to USDA regulations typically doesn't fall under these bans.

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!
