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!

Weekend Trip to Muddy Myst

This is my favorite place to camp. The sites are extremely nice and private. The common area is extremely convenient and warm. It’s very safe and in a great location. I 100 % recommend muddy mist rather you want to rough it at the creek or pond site or stay in the beautiful tree house. It’s an excellent get away

3 nights at Cliff Mine Heights

Ian's place was perfect for our needs. It was close to everything, but felt pretty private considering it was next to the house. They had electricity which was a plus. It was very easy to communicate with Ian. The place was easy to find and set up. Would definitely use them next trip to Pittsburgh.

29 nights at Horseshoe bend

Amy's place was fantastic! I love that it was on a more secluded road, with quiet neighbors, which made it feel more private. Close to a state park and not far from local grocery stores and gas stations. Amy was a great host and I would definitely stay here again! 10/10

Weekend Trip to Muddy Myst

We loved the small cabin in the woods. Everything was organized, cozy, clean and friendly with the forest :)

Weekend Trip to Cliff Mine Heights

Nicely kept yard/home.. quiet area. Quick response when I arrived. I wasn't at the camper very often, as I was in Pittsburgh mostly, so I did not meet the host

Weekend Trip to Muddy Myst

Great experience, such a nice get away. We will be back when it is warmer for sure!

1 night at Horseshoe bend

Great little spot to stop along the way to your destination. It was somewhat difficult to see in the dark, but the host was able to guide us to the site. The only issue we had was with the sewer location - it is located in a kind of awkward place.

River Hills Above the Allegheny

7 sites · RVs, Tents75 acres · Parker, PA

Located just outside of Parker, PA and 25 minutes from I-80, our campsite is very accessible, yet still very remote. With 4 campsites on 75 acres, guests have ample privacy and space, with the freedom to roam this posted property that has no homes on it. Perched high above the Allegheny there are several spots to take in the wonderful views. There is also a waterfall with a 3’ deep pool below it. Great for splashing with kids or dogs, guests love exploring the creek bottom and making new discoveries. The more curious guests sometimes find the ruins of the original homestead, chimney and spring house that sit upstream. The property is teeming with wildlife. Birds and tree frogs will be the soundtrack of your visit, and often deer will be seen nosing along the outskirts of your site in the mornings and evenings. Turkey, bald eagles and even bear are occasionally spotted, so be prepared to secure your food and trash at night. For those coming to disconnect, you have found the right place. But if cell service is needed, you will have enough to get texts out and depending what site you booked, calls and internet as well. For those who seek an electrical outlet AND and EV charger, we have a site for you! We also have a site with a large canvas tent already set up for your convenience. Within a 15 minute drive of your campsite you can find The North Country Trail, Rails to Trails Trailheads and Boat Launches on the Allegheny River, Groceries, dining and beer.

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.

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.
