Camp is on 50 acres with a pink marked trail to Red Bank Creek on the western border and back up through a hemlock forest along south border. A small stream runs through the property and forms a rocky delta in Red Bank Creek. All camp sites are on the eastern border and close to the main road to access property. Hike, enjoy the sound of the stream tickling through property, stargaze, or rest, watch nature's critters, read or just relax in a hammock. No hunting on property but fishing permitted along "river" aka Red Bank Creek. Please keep fires in firepit and noise levels low. Set up to be most natural, minimal mowing, and sites meant to be more private. We let you know if you have others on property. No running water or flush toilets on sites unless in your self-contained camper. A compost loo provided. Lots of kindling can be easily gathered for a fire. Consider ordering some ahead of time if it has been raining though. There is a tarp and a wheelbarrow to collect logs and kindling and move to your site.

The rich history of Burnhead Grazings is enveloped in a love for God's creation. Dr. Gib and Emmy Lou McLaughlin purchased Burnhead, which is Gaelic for the head of the stream, from William H. Stevens. The once pasture for Hilltop Dairy's cows became a pasture for sheep. Gib and Emmy had been in search of land for years after getting their first border collie and falling in love with the Shepherd lifestyle. Gib trained dozens of border collies to work the sheep and did hundreds of demonstrations highlighting the herding abilities of the collie across the country. Their love for Scotland and the border collie took them Scotland on many occasions. Burnhead Grazings is a snapshot of Scotland, "in bye" or close to, the beautiful college town of Indiana, PA. Less than two miles from two hotels, three miles from downtown, and within minutes from Amish country, it is amazing that this respite still exists so close to civilization. Gib and Emmy's daughter, Moire McLaughlin Bridges and her husband Randy have endeavored to bring the sheep back to Burnhead Grazings and to continue the family tradition as well as to share in the experience. You can listen to an interview on The Christian Witness Program on this page for some history about Moire and Randy in Tennessee where they were residing before coming to Indiana. They are producing lamb, wool for spinning and felting, and hay and are opening up the farm for small events such as weddings or family reunions. Moire is also the author and illustrator of a children's book available for sale on iBooks called Sissy & The King. In November of 2014, with the help of Hilltop Baptist Church and many others, they began hosting an event, LIFE Nativity, the weekend before Thanksgiving, which benefits Life-Way Pregnancy Center. Moire is also a fine artist and gives classes on wool felting. Ask about signing up for a class or book a private felting party.

Tucked along the Allegheny River, our modern A-frame is a design-forward cabin blending cozy charm with contemporary style. Enjoy curated décor, a beautiful loft bedroom with cedar T&G ceilings, and stunning river views year-round. Sip coffee or wine on the deck, stargaze by the fire pit, and unwind in nature—just minutes from I-80 and near Emlenton and Foxburg. Perfect for kayaking, hiking, or simply escaping the noise. Welcome to your peaceful getaway on the Allegheny River—this brand-new, custom-built cabin (completed in 2025) combines A-frame charm with elevated modern comforts.

The layout includes two king bedrooms: one in the open loft above (ladder access with a 250lb weight limit), and a private platform king bedroom on the main floor—perfect for couples, friends, or a small group looking to escape. The full bathroom feels like a spa, with beautiful tile work, a walk-in shower, radiant in-floor heating, and even an overhead heater—all with peaceful river views from the shower.

Muddy Myst was the perfect get away from the city. It gave such a comforting, safe and woodsy feeling. It was also very warm during a cold night! I would suggest this lovely place to anyone needing a cozy spot to relax!

Weekend Trip to The River Otter Den - Riverfront!

Amazing. From the view of the fall leaves and the Allegheny, to how nice the cabin was, to having a chimnied fire pit. Everything was perfect,. We usually do primitive sites, but I figured we could go glamping for once, and it was beyond anything I could expect. Meghan was super accommodating and a really nice host as well. 11/10 we'll definitely be back!

Fantastic property! We rented the tree cabin but the tent sites also looked great. All the amenities you could ask for while still being rustic and private. We visited for our annual fall leaf peeping trip, but we fully intend to come back in the summer--we are excited to take advantage of the cute little pond for swimming and kayaking. Would highly recommend!!

I booked the tree cabin to surprise my boyfriend with a one-night-getaway for his birthday, and we absolutely loved our time here. Liam did an incredible job with communicating important info via Hipcamp messaging, and he created a beautiful, serene atmosphere at Muddy Myst that made our stay wonderful. Everything was clean, private, and beautiful. We really appreciated the bathroom & common area amenities. We had an amazing stay and absolutely will come back and recommend to a friend. Our dog loved the adventure, too!

Muddy Myst is a wonderful place! I brought my 4 year old son for his first “camping” trip and we had a blast! The scenery is even more beautiful than the pictures. Thanks to Liam and his family for their hospitality! Will definitely stay again!

Muddy Myst is the perfect relaxing getaway! The treehouse was cozy and inviting. Even with all the rain at night, we slept peacefully with the windows open. The magnetic screen door was a nice addition to keep the critters out. There are clearly marked trails around the campsites and “Hank’s Hangout” is well stocked with complimentary coffee, tea, filtered hot/cold water and a nicely kept bathroom with a shower next door. Our dog loved the beds outside and inside the treehouse. Thanks again for the wonderful hospitality, we cannot wait to make a trip back!

Great property with great host. The amenities here are perfect for someone who wants to camp but have access to water, a bathroom, electricity, precut firewood, etc. We were so happy here. Big pond and lots of land to let your pups roam. 10/10

Perfect simple space for a campfire and some quiet time. The co-host Judy made sure everything was okay. There is a tent campsite area nearby, but no one was there so I had a wonderful wooded oasis all to myself.

The entire place was the perfect getaway! We loved the spacing of the three locations. Our tree house was adorable, and had a very comfortable bed. The pond was unbelievable- clean, clear, and stocked with toys- kayaks, paddle boat, and more. We will definitely recommend it, and be back!

We had a fantastic weekend away at Muddy Myst! We were staying at the cabin site, and it was a wonderful experience! After reading some other notes left in their guest book, I saw a pattern of attentiveness and hospitality from the hosts reflected in our stay as well. They had thought of things we didn't even know would be helpful. We went hiking and exploring during the day and were able to relax in our home away from home the rest of the time. I hope to visit the same site again in the future!

One of the most beautiful camp we’ve ever been to in my 40 years Camping. It is completely secluded, but with all the amenities you could possibly want. We look forward to being back again this season. Everything was beyond clean.. For being so remote and having the bathroom the common area, the treehouse being as immaculate as it is, is truly incredible.

We really enjoyed staying at Muddy Myst. It was a beautiful piece of property that my wife and I loved to explore and relax in. We really appreciated the common space with a bathroom, water, Keurig, and much more. The pond and pool were great ways to beat the heat! The cabin was peaceful and relaxing.
