A few of the oak trees still had bright yellow leaves but most other trees were bare leaving for a beautiful view through the trees from site 2.
The gun range was a little annoying and so was the traffic. You’re at the top of a long incline on 309 so most cars and trucks are high rpm rounding the peak. After a certain hour the gun range shuts down and so does the traffic for the most part.
The portapotty was probably the cleanest I’ve ever experienced.
Great spot for bird watching! A little late in the season to catch the migration but still awesome.
Very close to the AT which was convenient. Might be a nice spot to day hike from some time.

We had a wonderful two-night stay at Site 2. The space feels private, yet it’s just a short walk to the shared main area, which has an amazing view, a bathroom, and firewood for purchase. From Site 2, you can see a few hikers pass by on the trail, and you can hear cars on the road above as well as occasional gunshots from a nearby gun club but none of it was bothersome. It was actually nice to feel secluded while still being close to things. I appreciated reading previous reviews that mentioned these details beforehand, so nothing was surprising. Access to the trail was easy, and Site 1 looked great as well. We would definitely return!

We had a lovely time, the view is pretty. The bathroom and shower were nice and clean(water will take a few minutes to warm up don’t worry). Ground is pretty rocky so would definitely recommend having a hammer for stakes if tent camping. Each spot did have a picnic table and metal fire pit. We didn’t use any electric and if it were needed I assume there is a hookup closer to the bathrooms and would recommend setting up closer if electric is needed. Jim Thorpe wasn’t far and easily made it in town and also was easily able to get to AT trailhead for more beautiful sights.

1 night at Dude, Girl! Ranch.
We had a perfect fall Sunday followed by a rainy Monday that somehow made the cabin even better. Warm, quiet, and easy to settle into. Jennifer was kind and responsive, and everything felt thoughtful without trying too hard.
We found and brought an old CD player, a crate of our old scratched mix CDs, and ended up listening by the fire, laughing at what used to be our favorite songs and what stuck. Turns out, that’s about as good as it gets. Highly recommend bringing a few of your own instant time machine.

It was such a plus that there was a cooking grill there for us to use over the campfire. It was a really great spot. The shower is really nice and a great amenity as well as a super clean bathroom would definitely stay here again!!
Also, the camp sites are so far away from each other that you can’t hear talking or any music playing from the other one

Great location with thoughtful features (awesome outdoor shower, extra chairs, shared fire ring and chairs at the namesake lookout, etc). Also a short walk to a restaurant/bar if you don't want to pack in all your food.
If you're sensitive to road noise pack some ear plugs, but otherwise a great private camp spot.

Great campsite! Make sure you pitch on even ground, there’s a slight tilt to the property that you can avoid. Patricia’s space is great, the views of the mountains are gorgeous and it was easy to access from the road. Seven sirens brewing is right down the street as well, so you can stop by to grab some takeaways and chill around the campfire. She always provided wood complementary which let us enjoy the cool autumn night. Can’t wait to come back!

Everything was so perfect!! The space is spacious and has such a gorgeous view!! The sites are on a slant but we were tent camping so it really didn’t matter! The shower and bathroom were very nice and a close walk from our site! We will definitely be back!

This property is a very special location right next to the Appalachian Trail! The hosts are trail enthusiasts and clearly have put a lot of love and hard work into the property. The camping area is cut out from the steep slope of the mountain side. It offers a very unique camping location with a great view. There are road noises and distant gun range noises, so do not expect quiet, but expect peace and privacy! I highly recommend this location and will definitely return to see that amazing view once the leaves fall off the trees! Thunderhead Lodge is also a great place to dine next door!

Excellent views and a great campaign spot. Highly recommend if you’re a first timer or an experienced campaigner. It’s definitely a great way to introduce casual campers to primitive camping

Weekend Trip to Dude, Girl! Ranch.
Very unique spot. Truly rustic feel without missing any amenities. Jennifer even made us a nice cup of coffee in the morning. Beautiful surroundings and close to Jim Thorpe, the lake & mahoning drive-thru theater. A+ for romantic getaway

Loved this little spot! I ended up using site 1 at this property, as the host suggested since it was open, and it was nice to tuck into the trees with the rain. A nice little camp spot, horses nearby, super nice hosts!

My wife and my went for her first camping trip and the trip was incredible. Bern and Glen are excellent hosts and you can really see the pride they take in the property. Our site was large and secluded but conveniently located with a nice drive my Philly. We took our two dogs as well and they had a blast exploring.
