A secluded picturesque location on a lake surrounded by woods. It was a bit cold to fish but I would like to return in warmer weather to give that a try. It is close to Gouldsboro State Park which the host, Jerry, recommended. I enjoyed a 5 mile hike there and discovered it has one of the best bass fishing lakes in eastern PA. They have boat rentals during the summer.
I didn’t meet Jerry but he checked in by text and was available for any issues or questions.
It was just what I was looking for and I would recommended it especially if you want to camp without being crowded by neighbors.

This is a nice camping spot in a little hidden valley nestled in a ridge south of Second Mountain. The views of Blue Mountain from the road to the campsite are amazing. If you need firewood, you can get bundles for $5 at 1187 Deturksville Rd (7 mins away). A natural spring has made the ground too soggy to go to the pond unless you have boots. Every now and then a truck might drive by on the paved driveway going to and from the farm up the hill. The only negative for this spot is the industrial/farming noises that came on in the evening. It sounded like loud fan noise in the near distance which was a little annoying. At least it wasn't constant because I noticed it was totally quiet halfway through the night, thank goodness.

Really private peaceful site! A lot of open space, a lot of trees for shade and setting up hammocks. Easy to find, clean, fire pit set up. Enjoyed our camp, would definitely go back!

We had an amazing weekend under the shade tree at Brendan’s. He was incredibly accommodating, and the land was beautiful from sunrise to sunset. It felt perfectly secluded yet still only 10 minutes from town. My only regret was not bringing my fishing pole!

This is a beautiful open meadow space with mowed grass and plenty of shade trees. There is a pond up the back and a spring/creek that runs along one side of the meadow. We had beautiful weather and a nice time. The area is remote and quiet. The fire ring is a nice size and the ground where we parked the camper was level. We would definitely recommend this beautiful spot and would go again.

Brendan's land is beautiful. If you're looking to enjoy nature, the beauty of the animals that live among it and Brendan's working farm, this is the place!!! His goats and chickens were a short walk away and worth the smiles they provide. The views of the pastures and mountains were a great backdrop for the end of one day and start of another and if you're looking for walks or hikes, there is plenty of land and numerous trails within 10 minute drive.
Brendan was very accommodating and very welcoming. The bathroom he provides on the property was also appreciated, nothing like a nice shower after a full day of activities. This was one of the best experiences..... definitely going back!!!
