Stories from the community

1 night at River Hills Above the Allegheny

Ok, here's the deal: if you are looking for a place to just be in nature, get away from the noise, and have privacy - you need to book this spot immediately. I had the pleasure of meeting Chris & chatting with him a bit about his property. He's a lovely host, and very accommodating. The waterfall area alone is reason to book this site. No crowds. Just you (and your crew, if you prefer). I seriously felt like I was in a LOTR movie, frolicking around barefoot on the rocks. The land is gorgeous. The waterfall and stream are so relaxing. If you're seeking a private, secluded feeling - Pine Canopy is for you! Plenty of trees to hang hammocks on and you felt cozy in your own little corner of the woods. Plus, the compost toilet is super close (if that's a concern for you). The toilets were clean, which was cool. If you're wanting a more expansive view - then you've got to book the River Ridge site. FWIW, I have a Rav4 Hybrid that was fine going up the trail. I just made sure the conditions were ok, and Chris had done a great job of putting rocks down. It actually rained overnight so the trail was muddy and I made it down the path with no issue. Honestly the best part for me? My dog was able to roam free! She was so happy running around the property, free as could be, just like her wild self. It was awesome. 100 out of 10 // will absolutely book again // and tell all of my friends

Weekend Trip to All Ferns Most of the Time

We loved the spot. Secluded and lots of ferns! Would definitely stay again. Very close to ohiopyle state park as well.

Weekend Trip to Evelyne’s Farm

It’s a beautiful and quite place to be. We had an amazing night right next to the creek and the calming sounds of it. The free firewood and the farm fresh eggs handed with love where another highlight. Thanks for that!

1 night at Rustic Resort at the Farm

I've stayed here twice now. Jennifer has a private, quiet spot in the West Tent. Spots like this are perfect for me in that i carry a tent with me all the time but when driving a 2 day transit, it's nice to have one up already. I haven't used the East Tent but this faces west for the a ice sunset over the field.

Weekend Trip to Sycamore Island

So great! The campsite is large enough for two two-person tents, with a fire ring and picnic table. There's plenty of fallen wood around the island to gather for a fire - bring a hatchet or ax to chop it to size. If you canoe/kayak over, be sure to tie up; the river rose 3 feet overnight due to a downpour two nights earlier, and if my partner hadn't secured the canoes, they would have been long gone.

3 nights at Muddy Myst

May I start off by saying loved it and very peaceful ,quiet & was able to do everything I wanted to with my family. The owners are very friendly ,respectful & very caring felt more at home as soon as I was greeted the place is very clean and definitely recommended I see myself coming back real soon.

Weekend Trip to Muddy Myst

Everything was as advertised and more. YouTube was helpful to acclimated. Heat works great- cabin definitely works well for non-summer camping. Lovely spot and reasonable drive into Pittsburgh, plus close to lots of trails and nature.

Weekend Trip to The Blue Canoe

Great location if you love water side. The site was amazing, we fished and had a fire at our site every day / night. The management team and workers at Blue Canoe are top notch. The bike trail and kayaking all at your figertips is just awesome.. We bought a site there. That's how much we loved it!

Weekend Trip to Sunnyday's Forest

We had a great time at the cabin! Gerald was such a wonderful host, it was a last minute kind of trip and he was so accommodating. All of the animals on the farm were so friendly and patient with my 4 year old son and 2 wild dogs. It was such a delight watching my son and bigger dog interact with the horses and Petunia the pig. My dog was off on his own hanging out with the horses and goats half the trip, I don’t think he’s ever had so much fun. He slept for about 24 hours after we got home lol. Gerald’s care and training of the animals is amazing. My 4 year old was riding a horse all in his own, my girlfriend got to ride an award winning shire, and I enjoyed the company of a kind and gentle pony :) . We highly recommend Gerry and his property and will be returning soon. Don’t forget to add some farm fresh eggs to your trip!

Weekend Trip to Cliff Mine Heights

Enjoyed another stay at Cliff Mine. Easy access to the city, close to shopping and dining. Private, quiet, and safe. Ian and his family are lovely!

Weekend Trip to Muddy Myst

This was an exceptional camping site. My don and daughter had a blast on the paddle boat and we were lucky enough to catch stars overnight. Will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Muddy Myst

It’s my favorite place to camp. The property is beautiful and there are convenient ,nice and clean facilities on the property. Sites are private and about the same price as over crowded state parks.

Weekend Trip to Muddy Myst

We loved tent camping here. Watching the welcome video was super helpful. The creek sight truly is amazing because you can hear the creek the whole time. We had some rainy weather come in, but down at the creek there wasn’t much wind. The other campsites are a good distance away. The bathroom/shower is warm which was great in the cold weather we had while camping.

2 nights at Muddy Myst

Our family had a great time at the pond site at Muddy Myst. The amenities were perfect and exactly as described. The property was clean and beautiful. Liam has done a great job at making sure his guests are taken care of, while also allowing for privacy and relaxation.

Weekend Trip to Runnin Crazy Farm

Mendi's property was amazing, very peaceful. Everyone was very friendly and always asking if there was anything we needed. Very accommodating to my schedule. We definitely be staying again in the future

Weekend Trip to Muddy Myst

I have been camping here a lot, Solo camping and with friends. I feel safe solo camping in here, when you get in the site it’s gated and very private. I spoke to Liam’s dad a little bit and seems a great guy. Pond site or creek site both I felt safe. Clean surroundings and you feel remotely comfortable. And yes I will recommend this site.

1 night at All Ferns Most of the Time

Had an amazing time at Jim's property. A neighbor was playing music till 3am but I didn't mind since I was taking in the lunar eclipse. Still felt very secluded even without all the foliage filled in. Also enjoyed a small hike down to the creek which is just a short distance away. I will definitely return as often as I can! Thank you Jim!

Weekend Trip to Muddy Myst

I enjoyed my stay here, unfortunately I just chose to camp late February and Mother Nature had other plans for me haha. I will certainly be back when the warmer weather rolls around. The common area was well kept and had a lot of personality, you can tell this place is loved. Excited for my next visit!

Eighteen Acres, In Grove City

1 site · RV18 acres · Grove City, PA

Just bring your RV/Camper/Motorhome for this water and electric (no sewer) supported site. Eighteen Acres is conveniently postured near I-79 (3 minutes) / I-80 (5 minutes), The Grove City Outlets (4 minutes), Big Rail Brewing (30 seconds), and Keystone Safari (10 seconds). We sit at the midpoint between Grove City College (8 minutes) and Slippery Rock University (9 minutes). Today, you'll see the property offers a single RV site (with 50/30amp electric hookup and water) for those looking to escape the city and find reprieve in the country. Lord willin', more RV and camp sites will be on the way! We intend to be available May 1st to October 31st (weather pending). Pricing is about $40+ less (nightly) than the KOA! Plus you get a huge space. There is no bath house, sewer/dump station (for black/gray water), or showers at this time, but you'll see we are working towards those things. With good planning and if you prefer, we can be there to help you set up. The site will be clearly marked, and there is more than enough room to back in/out. We can host the largest of rigs (even up to 45 feet). As you can imagine, it takes a lot of mowing to manage grounds of this size. There is a red storage building (for our mower) about 10 yards from the site that we reserve the right to access. We want the place in top shape for you, and we will not mow or weed-wack near your site during your stay. We do have three well behaved pups, and we are about 60 yards away from this site in our cabin. Sorry to say, we are not yet comfortable with guests bringing pets, but this may change soon. Must love dogs, because we do take ours throughout the property for exercise. Though you will see sewer clean outs, our system is not equipped or available for RV septic use as this time. Tampering with or attempting to use the clean outs will likely lead to a discontinuation of your stay. Please forgive us, we are working on a plan for this in the future.

Acquired and protected by Allegheny Land Trust in 2008, Sycamore Island is a floodplain forest with a ranking of “high significance” within the Allegheny River Biological Diversity Area (BDA) Natural Heritage Area. Before the island was protected by ALT, the island had periodic interludes of recognition and appreciation by humans as a natural refuge. In 1936, both Sycamore Island and Nine Mile Island were leased from the Pennsylvania Railroad by the Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania, making these islands the first bird sanctuaries in the Pittsburgh region. The Harbor Isle Boat Club was in existence on the island during the late 1960s but was later abandoned leaving behind several significant features; including a barge that remains embedded in the sand at the island’s southern tip, a partially installed swimming pool, docking platform, and a series of offshore pilings in the back channel.

Great for hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking. 1.5 miles from Deer Lakes park which has fishing, hiking, mountain biking and a great playground.

Burnhead Grazings

4 sites · Lodging, Tents68 acres · Indiana , PA

The rich history of Burnhead Grazings is enveloped in a love for God's creation. Dr. Gib and Emmy Lou McLaughlin purchased Burnhead, which is Gaelic for the head of the stream, from William H. Stevens. The once pasture for Hilltop Dairy's cows became a pasture for sheep. Gib and Emmy had been in search of land for years after getting their first border collie and falling in love with the Shepherd lifestyle. Gib trained dozens of border collies to work the sheep and did hundreds of demonstrations highlighting the herding abilities of the collie across the country. Their love for Scotland and the border collie took them Scotland on many occasions. Burnhead Grazings is a snapshot of Scotland, "in bye" or close to, the beautiful college town of Indiana, PA. Less than two miles from two hotels, three miles from downtown, and within minutes from Amish country, it is amazing that this respite still exists so close to civilization. Gib and Emmy's daughter, Moire McLaughlin Bridges and her husband Randy have endeavored to bring the sheep back to Burnhead Grazings and to continue the family tradition as well as to share in the experience. You can listen to an interview on The Christian Witness Program on this page for some history about Moire and Randy in Tennessee where they were residing before coming to Indiana. They are producing lamb, wool for spinning and felting, and hay and are opening up the farm for small events such as weddings or family reunions. Moire is also the author and illustrator of a children's book available for sale on iBooks called Sissy & The King. In November of 2014, with the help of Hilltop Baptist Church and many others, they began hosting an event, LIFE Nativity, the weekend before Thanksgiving, which benefits Life-Way Pregnancy Center. Moire is also a fine artist and gives classes on wool felting. Ask about signing up for a class or book a private felting party.

All Ferns Most of the Time

1 site · RV, Tent20 acres · Rockwood, PA

This spot is best for a van camp location but plenty of space for tents and hammocks. You'll find a drive-up deck if you wish to park there. Firewood is available providing you use downfalls as kindling in the stone fire pit. A 8x20' deck and picnic table are 20 feet from the fire for stargazing. When the ferns are full grown they are 3 feet tall and everywhere. A 10 minute walk takes you through a dense pine forest with large rock formations and a nice creek with many gurgling fall areas. If there looks like a cave amongst the large rocks, then it probably is a bear den. There is a lot to do near by. Some note worthy locations : Cranberry Glade Lake (good for kayaking or fishing), Ohiopyle, 7 Springs, Fallingwater, Living Treasures, Caddie Shak, and Hidden Valley are all about 25 minutes away. This property also borders Laurel Ridge State Park. There is a Dollar General and a gas station about 15 minutes away for convenience needs.

Camping near Pittsburgh guide

Overview

Outside Pennsylvania's second-largest city exists a mecca for all things nature. Camping near Pittsburg allows you to enjoy Pennsylvania's expansive pine and oak forests. The Monghale River runs through much of the region, letting outdoor lovers fish for trout, as well as largemouth bath. Some kayaking and canoeing push-off points can be found along the river, as well. Those who find themselves in or near the city can find Instagram-worthy landscapes inside the Beechview-Seldom Seen Greenway. An hour-or-so drive South-East of Downtown will treat you to the rustic, RV, tent-only, and structure camping along Savage River State Forest. (Trust us: it’s not savage, but sublime.) Those who want to experience tiny house living for themselves can book a stay at Tiny House - Big Farm Adventure to see what all the hoopla is about. Bald Eagles frequent the areas near Pittsburgh as well, so keep your eyes to the trees while you’re hiking.
