Peace & Quiet by the River!

My farm is just beautiful.  I have owned it for 46 years and am proud as can be of its beauty and serenity. Welcome to our perfect outdoor haven, a beautiful 150 acre farm, providing an extraordinary escape from the hustle and bustle of our modern world.  Two of our exclusive campsites are located on the banks of the Little Schuylkill River, with the world-renowned Hawk Mountain Sanctuary boarding on the other side of the river.  The third site, has an open view of Hawk Mountain and the farm, to say nothing of the full sky view.. Our private, exclusive campsites, easily encompassing about 5 acres at each site and surrounded by the 150 acre farm, are designed to take advantage of the natural surroundings. Here you will find yourself off grid and alone with nature.  Imagine yourself pitching your tent along the river or on the hill top, viewing countless birds of prey and all types of wildlife with no other folks around, except for your people.

The location could not be better or more private. Our family for years have camped and played at these site, enjoying the river and night sounds. We are a working Christmas Tree farm as well. Truly private camping, not a commercial camp ground. Very few camping sites exist where you can just have your own space, but you may have it here. My family are stewards to this wonderful farm, and are thrilled to share it with you.  We want you to chill and to find tranquility, to respect our sites and make memories that are treasured.

Details:

We will consider 1 night stays for weekdays, please contact for availability and pricing. 

We will also consider more than 8 campers. Please inquire!

Because we are a tree farm, we cannot allow you to bring wood from other locations on to the farm.  Wood is for sale here and we request a pre order so we can have it ready at your site.  You may purchase through Hipcamp or directly from us.  

All sites have a picnic table, a Hawk Shadow Out House, water to wash things, a preparation table and a good bundle of kindling to start off your camping experience.  There Is a shovel, cooking grates, log benches and a neat campfire ring. Potable water is available at the farm and you may refill when needed.

Campsite # 1 so pretty and spacious. To say nothing about private.

This is campsite #3 High Site.  You can drive right up to this site.  Wonderful views of Sunrise and Sunset.

There is a lot of space to have a group camping trip at site 3.

Plenty of wonderful hammocking trees surround the camping site.

The picnic table provided the perfect place to eat our meals and play some card games.

Site 3 overlooks the beautiful rolling hills full of Christmas trees.

Dj Duncan's Piece of Heaven

We are an active dairy farm in the rolling hills of Berks County, Pennsylvania. We take awesome sunrises and great star gazing for granted around here! Campsites are a 10-minute walk from the farm where all are welcome to interact with the animals or take a try at milking a cow. After all, you need milk and cream for breakfast!Its a ten minute drive to Blue Marsh Lake for Fishing, Biking, Hiking and Swimming. Its a 5 minute walk up to our Dairy Farm where you can visit with the cows and baby calves. There is a very nice view of Weiser's mountain. This site doesn't have any extra shelter and is only for tent camping.  There is a total of 4 listings in the one acre courtyard. The water source is shared by other people and also the port potty is shared with courtyard #3.

Special for 2020 - Hipcamp themed corn maze!

Camp Blackbird

Camp Blackbird is a 28 acre property that runs along Beltzville State Park in Carbon County, PA.  So besides the camp, there is an additional 3,002-acres of state park to explore. There are a total of 2 sites. 

The land was vacant for decades and unfortunately used to dump household garbage during that time. We cleaned up the land, built a home and bat habitat. We, Sarah and Stein, always disliked renting a camp site somewhere and then ending up on top of people.

 So it was our goal to make space on our land for campers like us that want to be surrounded by nature, not other camp sites. 

A portion of the proceeds from your stay will be donated to bat habitat conservation and bat sanctuaries around the world.

We are grateful for the hundreds of campers that have stayed with us. Thank you to all of you that have left a clean site and not made unnecessary noise that would disturb the countless species that share the forest with us. Also, Thank You for patronizing local businesses while you are here.  

We'll give you a map so you can see where to take a short walk to get to the lake.

 There are miles of hiking trails a few minutes walk from your campsite.

 Beltzville Lake is a great place for paddling.  The boat launch is just a few minutes drive from Camp.

In addition to the beautiful immediate surroundings, we are centrally located near many exciting destinations. Year round activities at Blue Mountain Resort, adventure on The Appalachian Trail, fine dining, biking the rail trail and whitewater rafting in Jim Thorpe, all within a 25 minute drive.

The property is not suitable for parties or events.

The area is a QUIET ZONE. Ideal for people looking to unplug from it all and become one with nature. It is teaming with wildlife and is ideal for birding.

The hosts mission is to disturb wildlife and its habitats as little as possible.

VERY IMPORTANT - NO PARTIES or unregistered guests on the property. There are other campgrounds in the area that are great for people who want to party.

We welcome pets.

Please add your photos! Especially of your dog camping!  Check out the 300+ photos past campers have added. So many of them are dogs camping it up. 

We, the hosts, live on the property about 700 ft from the campsite. We try to have minimal interactions with the guests to ensure privacy and personal space but we're always reachable.

Campsite2 has its own campfire area, picnic table with unlimited water provided. 

Another view of the lake from the “chill spot”

A view of the lake from the "chill" spot. This is a 3-minute walk from your site.

The cute bridge you cross that takes you to your campsite

A copy of this map will be on the picnic table for you. On the other side are listed places to get food and have fun. 

Unlimited water and everything you need to have campfires is included. 

4 acres in rural suburbia

We are nestled on 4 acres with gentle borders to suburbs with neighboring homes. We are campers and consider this spot to be very fair after staying at some overpriced places. Our home is from 1880 and was the general store and post office for Hynemansville PA. It will need work long after we are gone. George Washington's troops slept across the street.Learn more about this land:Pitch your tent on almost 2 acres and have more privacy than in a crowded campground.  We are a mix of farms and new construction. 2 min to highway. Close to hiking,  biking, Appalacian Trail, lakes, streams, ponds. Soccer and baseball fields nearby.

RoundStone

We are a small, family owned campground nestled in the Appalachian Mountains, on the outskirts of the famous Poconos. We offer rustic tent sites and log cabins on nearly 400 acres. The property has been in our family since the late 1800's, initially operating as an ochre mill.
