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!

Walking paths leading to the scenic Conowingo Creek make this private setting located in southern Lancaster County a perfect relaxing get away. A short walk will put you on the banks of ideal fishing or a refreshing dip in the beautiful waterway. Some experts claim that plopping a chair in the middle of the creek with a good book is the only way to go! Then, after an evening by the campfire and a cozy night of sleep, a short drive gives you access to the Susquehanna River where hiking and scenic overlooks abound. The area is surrounded by Amish farms and loads of country charm. Got an itch for a historic city experience? Lancaster city is a 30 minute drive north where the historic Lancaster Central Market is open Tuesday, Friday and Saturday and surrounded by lots of quaint shopping. Recently added to Camp Conowingo Extras is the "Henry Hilton" which sleeps two and is an add-on for larger groups or anyone who wants to take in the view, sleeping closer to the stars. See photos in the listing and talk to Gini for details. We look forward to having you visit us.

We had a lovely fall weekend glamping on Gini’s land. The site is beautiful and well maintained and the tent is very comfortable and filled with everything you could want even for cold weather camping. Gini’s hospitality was also exceptional (going out of their way to provide extra blankets and hot water bottles to one of our party who camped in a tent), and the land is perfect to walk through. Our dogs enjoyed the freedom safely. Will definitely be back!

Great spot in a field by myself. Great host. I recommend this place. If you need some comforts, they have them. If you want more remote camping, they have it too. The perfect Hipcamp experience.

We enjoyed camping at The Point, it was quiet and felt private, but an easy walk to the porta potty and water. I liked seeing the host’s cats, chickens and sheep. The host was kind and communicative. Very quick and easy drive (10 mins or less) into Gettysburg town & battlefields. I would recommend, and would stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Stonehedge Gardens Holistic Retreat

From the time we arrived to the time we left, the stay was fantastic. I took a risk, knowing it was going to be a chilly and rainy weekend with two almost teenage girls in tow. The yurt immediately banished all of their mixed feelings about camping this weekend and gave us an incredibly cozy, warm, and magical weekend in the woods. The grounds were beautiful and peaceful. Great for letting the kids just wander around and explore. The fire pit tent was fantastic for keeping us dry when it was raining while we cooked dinner and Tom was so very thoughtful and communicative about every aspect of our stay. Will 100% be going back confidently knowing the kids will make some more happy core memories. :)

My campsite was easy to get to and a pleasant experience. This was exactly what I wanted, a short drive to town but a retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the tourism. I could hear owls during the night and minimal road noise. I would book with Catherine again if I return to the area.

Wow! Such a peaceful spot with beautiful surroundings. The barn site was very level and had a fire pit and also power. Perfectly served our needs. Friday night traffic delayed us a bit and Catherine was understanding and very cordial upon arrival. We were just there for a quick overnight stop, but would definitely return again. And we drive through the Gettysburg area quite frequently so perhaps we will :)

What a beautiful Farm! We enjoyed our stay very much Cathrine. I hope to speak to you more on our next visit. A great Place to tour Gettysburg from. A quiet and peaceful end to each day. We enjoyed having campfires in the evenings after sight seeing. Directions are good and easy access from the highway to the farm. We stayed in the barn site and used the electric hook up which was easy to access.

This was a wonderful stay for us. So quiet and peaceful. Great communication with Catherine. We had electricity and access to a very clean port a potty, and water. The rooster does crow, but it was so much better than listening to other campers in a campsite! Very close to Gettysburg and outlet malls!
