Weekend Trip to All Ferns Most of the Time

We loved the spot. Secluded and lots of ferns! Would definitely stay again. Very close to ohiopyle state park as well.

1 night at WonderWoods at Rocky Gap

Lovely place and really pleased that she actually had coffee there so I could relax and enjoy my morning after driving in and heading out next day. Thank you Kristen!

1 night at WonderWoods at Rocky Gap

Acorn Palace was the perfect getaway for me. Everything was very nice and new, and Kristen thought of every possible detail. It’s close enough to the park that you could walk to the lake if you would like, but also feels very secluded. Kristen was very friendly, and hospitable. I would definitely like to return!

Weekend Trip to WonderWoods at Rocky Gap

Pine Meadow Campsite was the perfect blend of seclusion, comfort, and natural beauty. While the campsite itself is small, there's plenty of space to spread out and relax. The grounds were spotless, and we were constantly serenaded by birds and delighted by the sight of rabbits hopping through the area. The real highlight, though, was the watershed—a beautifully maintained building featuring a half bath, a full bath with a standing shower, and a small but impressively stocked kitchenette. It had everything we could possibly need (and more!), and stepping inside felt like coming home after a long day of hiking and exploring. What made this stay even more special was the location. Nestled on private property right in the middle of Rocky Gap State Park, we had easy access to everything the park offers—without the crowds or the hassle of public campground facilities. And if I could give this stay six stars, I would—thanks entirely to our incredible host. She was kind, responsive, and truly went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Her hospitality made our trip unforgettable. We can’t wait to come back!

Weekend Trip to WonderWoods at Rocky Gap

Beautiful location and cabin! Everything about the experience was well thought out. Everything we needed was at our fingertips and the cabin was adorable and cozy. Really loved the tiny wood stove! Can't wait to return!

Weekend Trip to Private Riverside Retreat

Selfishly, I'm conflicted to write such a raving review for fear of losing the true magic of this place by over use by travelers, but my willingness to share this extraordinary place prevailed. There are very few places anymore where you can truly detach completely, and be one with nature. There aren't many words to describe falling asleep to the sounds of the Youghiogheny river, and the occasional freight train passing that is across the river. Nor are there places where you will wake up to beautiful mountain sunrises right like this. I won't pretend to know a prior time when this existed, but I am grateful to have found a place that can show me a piece of that time. If we're getting down to brass tax, the river while too cold during our stay was clean and provided us ability to wash our dishes, and if we needed to bath, we would use it to shower. The port o potty was clean and a nice comfort to have. The grounds are vast, lush, and are reclusive/private from others. If we were traveling with a large group there would have been room for many more tents and people. My family of 4 will be back to enjoy this hidden treasure right in Confluence, PA.

1 night at Bald Eagle Campsite

Wonderful property in a lush wooded area. Really friendly and responsive host. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Bald Eagle Campsite

Campsites are secluded, spacious and quiet. It was a restful weekend for us. Linda was a great host stopping by regularly to chat. Thank You

Weekend Trip to Paradise By The Pond

We loved Paradise by the Pond! The space was beautiful. We spent hours fishing and caught lots of fish! Our dogs loved the open space to run, fetch and nap by the pond. Yvonne responded very quickly to any questions I had. She was very helpful and kind! It was overall a great weekend and camping experience. We would absolutely book this site again in the future!

1 night at Rustic Resort at the Farm

I've stayed here twice now. Jennifer has a private, quiet spot in the West Tent. Spots like this are perfect for me in that i carry a tent with me all the time but when driving a 2 day transit, it's nice to have one up already. I haven't used the East Tent but this faces west for the a ice sunset over the field.

1 night at Bald Eagle Campsite

Beautiful fir trees and lots of room. It was a great place for a peaceful campfire. Janet and Linda were very engaging. We loved the water features. Traffic sounds were noticed. We were grateful to find a park open in April. Hope to be back next year.

Weekend Trip to Ranger's Retreat

Peaceful and beautiful spot for RV or tent. Eric and Vicky were super kind and great communicators. Loved the restaurant recommendation. Room to hike and also close enough to enjoy town and Flight 93 National Memorial.

Weekend Trip to Bald Eagle Campsite

We've stayed here before under a different owner. Great place nestled in the woods. Peaceful and relaxing.

3 nights at Muddy Myst

May I start off by saying loved it and very peaceful ,quiet & was able to do everything I wanted to with my family. The owners are very friendly ,respectful & very caring felt more at home as soon as I was greeted the place is very clean and definitely recommended I see myself coming back real soon.

2 nights at Grouseland Hospitality

Beautiful views! Can’t say that enough. Camp host Mason was there to meet and great and was there for you for any reasons you needed. We had the alpine campsite which was of 4-5 sites along the mountain ridge. All have beautiful views and are sized accordingly to your party. With room to spare. Will recommend to others and give it 5 stars. The only negative might have been that we were there at a off time and the porta potty that each site have were not up to par but they have a bathroom with shower at the camp office area which more than made up for it.

We had an amazing time! The cabin was very cozy, it was the best. It rained but not even that could've changed how great of a time we were having, it's the perfect spot to get away to when you need.

Weekend Trip to Bald Eagle Campsite

Always a great time at Bald Eagle Campsite. This was our 49th year camping there and we WILL be doing our 50th next year. You will not be disappointed!

Weekend Trip to Paradise By The Pond

We had a wonderful time at Paradise by the Pond! Host’s description was spot on and the directions to site were easy and clear. Nothing but rolling hills and silos! Plenty of room for our pups to run and play. Enjoyed watching the geese on the pond. Will definitely be back again!

Weekend Trip to Muddy Myst

Great camping area! We had an awesome time with the pups. Very friendly and responsive host. Highly recommend

Weekend Trip to Bald Eagle Campsite

Hosts were very friendly and met me at the entrance when I messaged ahead. Site is on the smaller side just as the description said but I was still able to fit a large Coleman Evanston tent. Best part was the proximity to the creek. Campsite is very convenient and described very accurately on the listing. Also the recreation room with ping pong and pool table was a nice addition.

This property and farm has been in our family for 3 generations. In 1964 my grandfather started the campground due to limited camping at New Germany. My father tells stories of it being filled with guests all summer long! Over the years there was few upgrades and now it's in need of a facelift. Landscaping, electric upgrades and bathhouse remodels were completed Spring 2021. We will continue to renovate in phases it's been a labor of love, but you can still see the beauty of this rural location and enjoy the peace and quiet. Hope you enjoy your stay. Lots of trees, shade and nature. It's located near New Germany State Park, 1.5 miles by car, less than a mile by foot. The state park has a lake and hiking trails. Garrett County has so much to offer, waterfalls, lakes, hiking, skiing, Amish gifts, history, fresh air, beautiful scenery. The campground was first started in 1964 by my grandparents, we are currently completing renovations in phases.
