Let your children and dogs roam free without a leash. This property is remote and private. There are no neighbors nearby.

forty-five minutes from Raystown Lake

There is some cell service, but it is limited. Can you hear me now? Be sure to save site information on your phone before you leave, in case you lose cell-service. This is not Alaska, but it is not a KOA campground, either. We recommend you print of bring a paper map. Your GPS will not bring you to the exact driveway location. You need to be personally observant.
This is the top of a mountain ridge. The access lane is steep, rocky, and has water erosion ditches you must drive over. Do not attempt this if you have a low profile car or a new/fragile camper. 4WD/AWD is highly recommended. Low profile and fancy cars are not recommended. This camping site is for those who want to live ruggedly like Lewis Clark. To see the water ditches you must drive over, go to YouTube and search "Wilbur's Shed - Blairs Mills", and it is the account of a cat with a white face.
This location is in a mix of farmland and mountain Appalachia. You will see common species such as chipmunks, squirrels turkey and deer. Many bird species. There are also porcupines, skunks, and black snakes around. You may also see black bear - it is rare, but possible. You are visiting wildlife species in their natural habitat. Please be self-aware of your own level comfort with wildlife. Once again, this is not an RVs park where you will socialize with a hundred other campers. This is primitive and isolated. This is an ideal camping spot if you want to escape from people.
Nearby is the Tuscarora Creek which is excellent for trout fishing. The Tuscarora has a small but lovely window for kayaking from mid-March through the end of May. Please contact the host if you would like help to plan some paddle logistics.
Rental through Hipcamp does not include hunting or the use of firearms, nor the use of dirt bikes and ATVs.

I was looking to camp originally in or near a state park by Bedford. While the campsites I found were adequate with decent amenities, I was stunned by the photos of the Tall Oaks site. I booked and paid for two days to meet the minimum booking period, but could only stay for one. Mason was very patient and a great host. He met us at the entrance of the campsite and lead us to our area with a brief explanation of everything. The house rules were clear and did not make us feel restrained. The campsite had a great view and no one else around that day. The firewood burned easily. I heard a cascade of animal sounds I hadn't heard before at night. A very enjoyable experience. There is a network of small trails onsite and a small outdoor games area with a very charming tree house. In the morning we used the bathroom beside the clubhouse near the entrance off the highway. The bathroom had a large shower, a cool skylight, and information about mountain biking and other amenities Grouseland offers. Outside were some cute goats looking at us as we left. Great stay, would recommend and stay again. Thanks so much Mason.

All-around, this is a beautiful campground!🏕️ Yes, it is next to the highway and fire department, so if you want quiet, it may not be for you; Otherwise, it was totally worth the trip! There is cell service and it is a close enough to walk to essentials in either direction. Very clean bathroom/shower facilities.

I enjoyed the Twisted Oak site. The view was so serene. I couldn't stop looking at it! Very quiet place, clean, beautiful and a touch of whimsy. Perfect for families and also fun for group and solo camping. Several cool spots and trails on the grounds. Bathroom is heated and clean. I see myself returning again in the future. The directions were clear and the host was very friendly.

The view from this site was astonishing. We had a really nice picnic table and the best fire ring I've ever had at a campsite. The site was huge and the trails were a lot of fun to hike. There was a little water issue when we got there ands it was repaired immediately. I can't recommend this one enough!

My grandson, daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Paradise at the Pond. This large camping area has wonderful vista’s of the farmland as well as the mountains behind. The owners keep firewood stocked and the grounds is well manicured grass. It’s a great place to relax and is just 15 minutes to Raystown Lake where we keep a boat. We’ve reserved 6 visits this summer and fall—just love the setup.

The site is close to the road, but also close to the restrooms which have showers and sinks. Site also close to the rec room with a ping pong and a pool table. This came in handy the evening it rained. The facilities were just back over a little bridge. Our group actually used four sites that came together as one and held the tents, pop-up shelters, vehicles and equipment trailer. It was our second stay in two years and both times it worked out great! Very close to museums, fishing streams, and both the Horseshoe and Altoona Curve.

Masons’ land was 12/10. Seriously. The view is incredible, the sun sets right over the mountain you’re staring at in the photos. There is always a nice breeze it seems. Just beautiful setting. It is also quiet. Down below where your staying there is a road where will hear some traffic but it doesn’t bother you really.
The accommodations are great. Mason has some firewood for us, there are string lights in the trees and your own private porta potty is a nice touch. The water and electric is awesome for the site. And the water out of the spigot is delicious well water. Reminds me of growing up.
I’m sure I could keep going on and on. Oh also the camp shower and bathroom is awesome have and a short walk! Mason greeted us and is a very nice host. We will stay here again.
