Falls Trail - primarily made up of slate, so wear appropriate footwear. (i.e. No flippy-floppies! You wouldn't believe some of the people we came across, women in crocs carrying infants, elderly folk in burkenstocks. Oy!)

Weekend Trip to Paper Mill Pines Glamping Getaway

Such a beautiful getaway! The owners were so friendly and welcoming. They supplied so much already on the site - water, cooking utensils, pans , wood, extra towels, battery powered fan, really they had everything you needed. They even checked on us to see if we needed more water. They’re very friendly and the property is gorgeous! We had a wonderful stay and went to the state park to hike which wasn’t far from the site. Totally will be coming back! Highly highly recommend!! 1000/10.

3 nights at Fairie Tale Farm

A Fairie Tale farm indeed! The campground/farm has it all, if you know what ”real” camping is. As a busy family from the city, we value rest, quietness and most of all privacy when we go camping, and Susan’s land delivered! The best nights’ sleep, ever! It was lovely to be surrounded by nature, wake up from the birds singing and not by noisy neighbors ( although we did have neighbors but they were polite and respectful ). Susan is super nice and hardworking, she made sure we are settled and got everything we needed, she did all the same with the other campers. Ricketts Glen State Park is about a few minutes drive. We did the “Falls Trail” trail, ( because we are a family who hikes ) and oh boy, we have hiked difficult trails, but this one, please do not underestimate, you will need proper footwear! The trail we picked was a “moderate” one, but we find the way back is hard because it was very slippery where the “falls” are, and there’s so many of them! Seeing the horses in the afternoon was such a delight, because our site was just right in front of it! We can’t wait to go back, maybe next camping we will pick shelterwood! Thanks again Susan!❤️

This was my first HipCamp booking and was not left disappointed. Chris and Jackie were absolute super hosts! Most adorable couple. They were very accommodating and caring. Just want to thank them for being so kind and generous! 🙏🏼❤️

Weekend Trip to Fairie Tale Farm

Was only there one night, but probably the best Hipcamp experience I’ve had. Susan was very communicative and accommodating, and offered more than expected. Really enjoyed taking the paddle board out on the pond before settling in at the site, and my dog loved getting a swim in herself.

Weekend Trip to Fairie Tale Farm

We loved it here!! Susan has a beautiful property. Our campsite provided plenty of privacy and space for four adults and our two dogs. Quick drive to Ricketts Glen, which is where we spent our Saturday. We look forward to returning in the future.

Weekend Trip to Fairie Tale Farm

My friends and I had an amazing weekend at Susan’s camp. Serenity Ridge had a gorgeous view, late night visits from the horses, and plenty of space away from the other sites for privacy. This site had both flat, open space as well as covered wooded area. Susan was extremely responsive and provided all the potable water & fire we needed at no additional cost. Looking forward to coming back again soon.

3 nights at Fairie Tale Farm

Phenomenal camping spot with a very kind and accommodating host. We loved the quiet serene of Susan’s property with options for activities just a quick walk down the hill. We will be back for sure.

Weekend Trip to Red House Ranch Camp

We love camping at site #1, over looking the valley. It’s a Great location for watching the birds, the farm animals and an endless amount of stars and fireflies. Ike and Dave are wonderful hosts and really make you feel welcome. we can’t wait to come back to stay again!

Weekend Trip to Endless views & star filled nights

Nice spot. Got there just in time to see the sunset from the lookout tower. Great campfire. Quiet and peaceful sleep!

Weekend Trip to Fairie Tale Farm

We had a great time! Susan was very helpful with many aspects of our stay-- which campground site to choose, what activities to do nearby, addressing any issues that came up during our stay, etc. The place is very peaceful and the children really enjoyed spending time with the horses! This is our second time staying here and we plan to return again!

Weekend Trip to Lake Front Campsite !!!

This was our second time here! It’s a beautiful and peaceful spot.highlight of this trip was an incredible fire fly show! There were millions of them lighting up in the trees around the pond, and especially in the field a few hundred yards down the road. It was magical. We had great weather this time, so we got enjoy the diving board and slide into the water. I highly recommend it and we will stay here again for sure!

Weekend Trip to Paper Mill Pines Glamping Getaway

Great private camping site, friendly and responsive hosts, definitely try it out

Weekend Trip to Close to Ricketts Glen State Park

Chris and Jackie were great hosts! We ended up renting the entire property for the weekend and they were communicative from start to finish as we found a booking to meet our needs. A beautiful and well maintained property with well seasoned hardwood available for great fires. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Lakeside Campground

The place was absolutely lovely, me and my wife were really comfortable and happy to be in a such a beatiful place like that.

1 night at Lake Front Campsite !!!

Perfect seclusion! Great host! I would recommend for everyone.

3 nights at Canvas Private Glamping Yurt

The site was amazing ! We loved everything about it except the mosquitos lol. We were so comfortable and relaxed. If you have time I recommend you check out salt springs state park it was like a 10 min drive away and was perfect for the heat! We will def want to be back one day!

2 nights at Red House Ranch Camp

This spot is extraordinary. Absolutely beautiful. Super private with amazing views. Both sunset and sunrise were great. Very clean, even the toilet. Dave and Ike were great and very kind hosts!! The meat and eggs were so good too. Would definitely recommend. 10/10!

2 nights at River Mountain Outdoors

We loved and enjoyed our time at the creek front campground. Doug was an excellent host showing us all the amenities on site when we arrived. His land was a peaceful and majestic little campground. You’ll fall in love with the tranquil sounds of the flowing creek while laying in a hammock or being lulled to sleep at night. We were visited by beautiful colorful dragonflies and even a turtle. This was a relaxing getaway that I can’t wait to get back to. Thank you so much Doug for sharing your space.

Weekend Trip to Lake Front Campsite !!!

What a nice piece of property! We really enjoyed ourselves. The site is near a backroad that did not bother us. Very friendly people in this area. Well maintained site with great views. We rented and used the rowboat equipped with life vests. T-Mobile cell service as well as our T-Mobile internet gateway worked great. Can’t wait to return.

Weekend Trip to Fairie Tale Farm

Shelterwood is our favorite probably at Susan's farm. In the trees, up on the second of 3 levels. You need to try it for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

Peters Sawmill

6 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents15 acres · Hillsgrove, PA

In the heart of the forest, nestled among towering trees and surrounded by breathtaking views, a humble cabin. It’s the place that evokes tranquility and solitude, offering a refuge from the chaos of the outside world. What makes this cabin truly captivating is its unique location, obscured by the presence of a running sawmill. Come enjoy watching as it takes you back in time. This sawmill is unlike any bandmill, boasting a massive 4 and a half-foot circular saw, a relic from the years between 1935 and 1945. Its rhythmic, melodic hum fills the air, blending seamlessly with the symphony of nature. The captivating noise created an enchanting ambiance, luring those in search of solace and beauty. We run our mill with recycled cooking oil and a diesel blend. Behind the sawmill, nature thrives harmoniously. Wildlife painted the surroundings with vibrant colors, as birds filled the sky with their elegant dances and curious squirrels scurried about, their fluffy tails adding a playful touch to the lush landscape. The cabin is a sanctuary where one can witness the wonders of nature, just a walk away from the roaring sawmill. Come check out a piece of preserved history all while enjoying pristine wooded views! Take a step back in time and immerse yourself in history. Enjoy the power of the circular saw, a symbol of the immense progress and craftsmanship of yesteryears. Together, the cabin, the forest, and the sawmill form a perfect harmony — a testament to the beauty of nature entwined with mankind's desire to create. It offers a glimpse into a world where modernity meets tradition, where breathtaking views and the symphony of the sawmill entice all who venture here to enjoy.

River Mountain Outdoors

5 sites · Lodging, Tents83 acres · Mainville, PA

The history of the Pump House began in 1878, when three ambitious men hatched a plan for the world's first long-distance underground oil pipeline which would transport oil from well to refinery more quickly and efficiently than the horse-drawn wagons of the time. Pumping stations were needed every fifty miles along this long route to keep pressure on the pipeline so that the oil could reach its destination. Pump House Bed and Breakfast is one of the only properties in the country in which the both the original homes of the foremen and the large brick buildings remain. Doug, owner, has spent more than 20 years lovingly restoring these foreman houses as well as the large industrial brick buildings. The Brick Barn Hall once housed steam pumps to pressurize the pipe and keep the oil moving, and the Catawissa Cabin behind it served as the telegraph office. The Studio Hall contained boilers that produced the steam to power the pumps, while the adjoining Studio Cabin functioned as a blacksmith's workspace. Today, the buildings function as reception spaces for weddings and other special events, and house private suites as well as an art studio where Doug pursues his work and teaches drawing, ceramics, and stained glass classes. The Season House, one of the two foreman homes, features additional guest accommodations while Doug resides in the other foreman house. Visit and experience a piece of PA history!
