Kevin was super accommodating and the cabin was very clean and cozy with lots of little extras. The outside of the cabin had a picnic table and fire pit and was private. Cell service was good enough to stream a movie on netflix on our laptop too. We will definitely stay here on the property again.

Star Lee is a wonderful setting for a bucolic visit to Central PA. Close to Raystown Lake and other state lands it offers a nice stay for anyone to hike, bike, hunt, or fish in the area. Stargazing and daydreaming also included. As a working bee and hay farm, Star Lee offers the opportunity to settle in, relax and enjoy. It is clean, comfortable, and obviously well cared for. I highly recommend Star Lee and am still enjoying their honey. We’ll be back.

Terrific little campground. Linda was there to meet us and explained the lay of the land. Site was large and clean. Bathrooms and showers were very clean. Yes, you can hear the noise from the highway. But we knew that beforehand. We had an event in Tyrone and this was a great and affordable stay for us.

Weekend Trip to Star Lee Farm
We have stayed in a lot of hip camps, but this by far is one of the very best that we’ve stayed in. Some of the highlights: cozy cabin nicely decorated. No heat or electricity, but he had lanterns for us, but we brought our own. Nice outdoor area with a picnic table and a fire pit that was perfect. Also a gas grill for us to cook on. He is two other cabin places, but they are so far apart that you can’t really hear or see anyone else. The property is huge and it is a working bee farm and it was very cool. These are located nowhere near the cabin, so you never have to worry about the bees being near your cabin. Highly suggest you learn about raising bees from our host! He has delicious honey for sale and an awesome piece of property with lots of different birds and deer. we walked around his property the first day and went 1.7 miles so it is very large. Also, very nice that it is a close walk to the flushable toilets and hot water showers. This was also a huge plus for us in October. Kevin is very responsive. He is also retired military and very compassionate and energetic about his farm. We came up for the end of the road half marathon/4miler, but in addition to that there is much more in this area if you like the outdoors. We did not go to Raytown Lake / Alpaca farm which we will visit next time. We love to hike and within 15 minutes is beautiful hikes with awesome views in including the thousand steps and the standing stone trail. We highly recommend!!!

Great little site. The campsite is very rustic. No frills. Just a place to set up camp. The Rhododendrons were really amazing. We can in after dark. Had some challenges getting to the site. (Bare right just after the shower facilities). This is a pets allowed sight which meant dogs barking all night, which was the only negative. We’d definitely sat here again.

Linda and Janet’s place was terrific. The tent sites were well secluded and the bathhouse was clean. Linda was waiting for another guest when I pulled in, so we chatted for a minute and then she showed me to my site.
I saw Linda several times throughout the weekend, checking on the bathhouse and on us guests. I’ll definitely be back, but with our camper next time!

We had a great time at site 30! The sites are closer together than what the map shows but they are still pretty private if you find the right ones. You will hear a lot of road noise at site 30 but if you don’t mind that, it’s perfect for an electric site and it’s close to the showers/bathrooms. The owners were so sweet and took us to our site and told us everything we needed to know! The showers and bathrooms were pretty nice but they have mold growing and could use a good scrub. They were nice and hot though! Beautiful grounds! Walking distance to dollar general and a nice gas station/grill. We would love to go back and find a site further into the woods. Thank you!
