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

The camp sites on our farm are dry (for now) but we DO have a toilet that is cleaned regularly right by the sites. We have three leveled gravel RV/Camper spots, which are large compared to most campgrounds. The sites are pull through for most RVs and Trailers. We provide fire rings and campfire wood (assuming we have it available). Our farm is an operational farm with livestock and you will be camping right by our horse pasture. Our location is convenient. We are right off of I-81 and State route 22. Minutes from Hersheypark, Hollywood Casino and Penn National Race Course, The PA Renaissance Faire, as well as Ft. Indiantown Gap and Memorial Lake State Park. If you are a hiker, the Appalachian Trail is minutes from our farm. Our sites are easy access off the main road. We are in a friendly agricultural neighborhood with very little traffic or noise other than the light hum of I-81 in the distance. Wildlife is plentiful in our area and you can hike from our farm to Levitz Community Park (or drive if you prefer) to interact some great nature or have a picnic. Our goal is to be accommodating and provide our guests with the best experience possible while here. Got questions? We can help! Just ask!

4. Fredericksburg PA Farm Glamping

10mi from Fort Indiantown Gap · 1 site · Lodging · Fredericksburg, PA

Saddle up for a one-of-a-kind escape where farm life meets frontier luxury! Nestled in the rolling fields of Fredericksburg, PA—just a short ride from Hershey’s sweet attractions—our farm stay invites you to trade city lights for starlit skies and crisp country air. Wake up to the gentle sounds of farm animals just a short walk from your tent—from clucking hens to friendly goats—and maybe even lend a hand with the morning horse feedings. By day, explore local hiking and biking trails, cast a line in nearby creeks, or mosey over to Hershey (about 25 minutes away) for roller coasters and world-famous chocolate. By night, kick back by the fire, swap stories under a blanket of stars, and let the rustic cowboy spirit carry you away. 🛖 Your Tent Stay Our all-weather 20-foot tents are built tough to withstand the elements—including rain—and cozy enough to keep you comfortable year-round. These four-season canvas tents are designed to handle sun, wind, and rain, so no matter the forecast, you’ll be high, dry, and cozy. Don’t worry—they don’t have wheels (no rolling away in the wind 😅); they’re securely anchored for safety. Tent Specs (straight from the manual): Diameter: 19’6” (about 289 sq. ft.—as roomy as a studio apartment) Center Height: 11’ tall (yes, you can stand up and lasso imaginary cattle inside) Wall Height: 3’ (adds extra vertical space, not your average tent slope) Door Height: 6’6” (no crouching cowboy entrance required) Material: Waterproof, breathable cotton canvas—built to handle the elements Inside, you’ll find a queen-size bed (perfect for two guests) with simple rustic furnishings. At the host’s discretion, a third guest or child may be added with an air mattress for an additional charge—just be sure to contact us ahead of time. 👉 A quick reality check: This is still camping. You won’t find a minibar, room service, or turndown service. What you will find is the perfect mix of comfort and the great outdoors—sleeping in a real bed while listening to the crickets sing outside your tent flap. So bring your sense of adventure, your favorite snacks, and maybe your cowboy hat—you’ll have plenty of room to settle in and plenty of fresh air to go with it.

We had a wonderful time camping at site 2 at Tom's place. It was so peaceful and beautiful and a short walk away from some great trails at the next door neighboring park. Room was a great host. He spent a while with us to show us around, introduce us to his goats, chickens and geese, and tell us the history of the area and his property. He had a working bathroom, a coffee machine, which was awesome because i forgot my coffee, and we bought a dozen of his farm eggs. After that he gave us our space and privacy but let us know he was available if we needed him. We can't wait to come back.

We had a great weekend camping at Tom's place. Site 2 was private and wooded. We loved interacting with the goats. Tom was an excellent host, and having a real bathroom available was a big plus for my group. You do have to cart your belonging down a hill (and back up when you leave), but sturdy carts are provided, and it maintains the peace and quiet of the camping spots. Would definitely recommend to others.

We had a great time camping here. We arrived in the dark later than anticipated and Tom graciously met us when we arrived and took us to our site. Site 4 is up against the tree line a short walk from where you park next to the house. You aren’t deep in the woods but there is tree cover above you. You’re also set away from other sites, so it feels very private. The site is sort of in a hill, but it has a few spots that were flat enough for our tent. The site has a fire ring, picnic table with tablecloth, a few plastic lawn chairs, and a plastic end table. There are a couple of chicken coops as well as geese, goats, and sheep which were all fun to visit. There’s a small “camp store” (mudroom) attached to the house which is open 24/7 and is only a couple minute walk from the camp site. The bathroom is accessed from the mudroom. There is coffee, s’mores kits, and other camp necessities for sale if you forgot anything. There are carts available to get your gear to your site. There was plenty of deadfall wood around for the weekend,, but Tom brought some split wood straight to our campsite and we had a very nice chat. There is direct access to the Hibernia Park Rim Park Trail from Tom’s property and we had a great hike along it. Overall, we highly recommend this site.

We had a great experience with Stephen, very friendly people and respectful of your privacy. Really nice level sites against the pasture where we watched the animals grazing. Close enough yet far enough away. Easy in and out. We will definitely return!

Great spot. The only thing that would’ve made it more enjoyable, Was if I had brought some wood for a fire. But it was last minute and a hectic day. We retired early anyway. I’ m glad I was able to stay so last minute. It was well needed. And the horse and goat were hospitable and kept checking on us regularly lol would definitely stay again

My boyfriend and I were looking for somewhere to camp for my birthday. So happy we decided to stay here! Perfect little spot. We arrived later than expected, around 8PM and Tom, the host, came out to guide us around the area in the dark. He showed us our spot and even some of his Animals. He is a very helpful and friendly Host ! We booked site 1 and loved it. It is slightly less secluded than the other 3 sites that are a little deeper in the woods. But I would rebook this spot again anytime. We really loved the large stone fire pit! There is also a nice trail behind the property along the river that was nice to walk in the mornings. My boyfriend and I brought kayaks with us and spent a day at chambers lake in hibernia park which is right around the corner. Beautiful area and perfect place to get away and relax in the wilderness. Thanks for having us! We definitely will be back!

Really great setup! Looks like a proper campground. Was just a tad tricky to back in due to the location of a power pole but wasn’t an issue. If you have a toad you will have to unhook to get in but no big deal. Was also convenient to 81.

Weekend Trip to Scenic Turtle Ridge

Ok my favorite thing about this site was Bah the goat, but there was a lot to love. Bah hung out with us for a good long while and was perfect company. She is truly special. It was great to have access to a bathroom (a short walk away), and the carts to move belongings down to the site were clinch. Site 1 is the most “exposed” and the other sites, if occupied, will need to walk past you to set up and go to the restroom. That was fine for us, but good to know for your planning. The proximity to Hibernia State Park was amazingggg. We got to swim in the Brandywine and hike around, enjoy the beautiful weather. Tom has many cute goats, loud but ultimately avoidant geese, and chickens who did stay in their coop but would have been welcome in my tent lol. The firepit was well maintained and some grates were provided. We would definitely come back to this location, especially since it’s so close to Philly.

Our favorite HipCamp site. Tom is great. His farm is lovely. Camping here is the perfect blend of being out in the woods, but with a bathroom you can walk to. The fireplace is so well built. There are shady spots and sunny spots to pitch your tent. A table and bench. Its minimal, which is perfect. Has everything you need. Hibernia Park is a few minutes away by car or you can walk from his farm. Its a super well cared for park with playgrounds, trails, grills, Etc. We will definitely be back. Thanks Tom!
