1 night at John B.’s "The Baker Camp"

John’s camp is a serene and peaceful space to immerse yourself deep into the pen Pennsylvania countryside. I was driving from New York to California and quit the turnpike because of the crazy rain. I was in my class B 22 foot airstream and drove in & out very easily and was able to hook up to a 30 amp outlet which was great. There is a pavilion with a fridge, there is an outhouse, but I was fully equipped in my van and just wanted a safe haven for the night. John was a great host, responded straight away to my last-minute booking, and filled me in on the property. My dog was able to run around and I was also able to walk along the road for a few miles next morning. t’s a great place if you are in a van & just want to get some peace and quiet, watch fireflies, and deer, and get away from it all. Or If you’re looking for a digital detox, a campfire, and some fun exploring with friends, this is the spot. I appreciated how well laid out it was, it was private from the road & magical!
