Weekend Trip to No Stress Mountain

Cameron’s land was the breath of fresh air we needed to recharge with nature. The land was beautiful. Almost ethereal in a way with the change of seasons. When you first get there, Cameron drives you, your gear and your party on a Gater to the sites — It’s such a fun little ride!! a few hills, twists & turns. We had messed up and forgot a few things at home. Lucky for us, Cameron was amazing and let us borrow a few things of his to accommodate the things we forgot. He assisted in carrying our bags and made sure we were settled before he left us for our stay. Great guy. Great area. I highly suggest you check this beautiful piece of PA out. 🖤

This was unique spot to spend the last night of summer. The site was a well maintained, with the grass just being mowed and free from previous guest trash. The porta potty was clean and did the job.

Just got home and looking forward to the next time we can go! Quiet with only nature sounds and an occasional car. The rv was bigger than I thought. Plenty of room and well laid out. Close to lots of things to do in the area where we enjoyed Amish country, fishing at Mahoney Dam and hiking multiple places plus a good book sitting outside at "home". Evening campfires with Richard's perfectly dry firewood and glorious stars made our time the perfect getaway. Richard is a five star plus host. He checks in to make sure everything is OK and was quick to respond to messages.
