Tent

2 nights at Abandoned School

We really enjoyed the campsite & the attention to detail. The running spring water & clean portable potty was a huge bonus. Levi is a great host & is easy to contact. Fresh eggs & cut camp wood on site for an additional price make things even easier. The eggs are super tasty too. There is a lack of shade till the afternoon so we recommend bringing a canopy or finding an afternoon activity to do locally.

Weekend Trip to Clarion Heights

Nice spot in the mountains. Quiet and peaceful. You do smell the paper plant at some times depending on the wind, but it didn’t bother me.

1 night at Clear Creek Cook Forest Campsite

We had a great time tent camping here! It’s a beautiful, remote patch of land. We saw lots of deer and the brightest moon we’ve ever seen. It’s quite a bumpy road to get to the site but we took our time with our little car and made it there just fine. Definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Clear Creek Cook Forest Campsite

Very nice, quiet & secluded. If that's what you like stay here.

Weekend Trip to Clear Creek Cook Forest Campsite

This is my husbands new favorite site! lol 😂 This place was amazing if you want some time to just unwind and be at peace! The woods were beautiful and relaxing. Our 2 year old grandson loved having the freedom to ride his bike, play in the woods and use his Tonka dump truck to pick up sticks! lol The site was level and large enough to fit both our large travel trailers. The road in was rough but putting the truck in 4 wheel drive and letting it crawl and take it slow was all we needed to do. Josh was also very receptive to some feedback we offered on improvements for the dump site. We will definitely look to book this again. Thank you Josh - we loved our stay!

1 night at Abandoned School

Awesome spot to camp! The property was very spacious! We diddnt get to stay the whole night due to torrential rain, but we will absolutely be back to spend more time camping and exploring here.

Weekend Trip to Gordon Glen Woods

The spot was very peaceful and we appreciated the wood included and great local recommendations. Robert was a great host and we would definitely recommend this spot! Just as advertised :)

1 night at Bald Eagle Campsite

Beautiful fir trees and lots of room. It was a great place for a peaceful campfire. Janet and Linda were very engaging. We loved the water features. Traffic sounds were noticed. We were grateful to find a park open in April. Hope to be back next year.

Weekend Trip to Abandoned School

This was my first Hip Camp booking and I was really happy with the great communication from the host, Levi. The directions to the site were great and helped locate the spot perfectly. Unfortunately there were bad rain and thunder storms while we were there overnight so we didn't have an opportunity to explore much of the area - but the location is really cool. Hope to go back in some better weather - thanks again!

Weekend Trip to Bald Eagle Campsite

We've stayed here before under a different owner. Great place nestled in the woods. Peaceful and relaxing.

3 nights at Clarion Heights

The owners were very kind. The site was nice and the Pavillion was great and even had lights. I will definately recommend this to others. I plan on being back. Thank you Lisa and Ed!

3 nights at Muddy Myst

We had an amazing time! The cabin was very cozy, it was the best. It rained but not even that could've changed how great of a time we were having, it's the perfect spot to get away to when you need.

Weekend Trip to Bald Eagle Campsite

Always a great time at Bald Eagle Campsite. This was our 49th year camping there and we WILL be doing our 50th next year. You will not be disappointed!

Weekend Trip to Muddy Myst

Great camping area! We had an awesome time with the pups. Very friendly and responsive host. Highly recommend

Weekend Trip to Abandoned School

This is such a unique piece of property and my husband and I, along with our dog loved exploring it! We got a ton of great pictures!

Weekend Trip to Gordon Glen Woods

We were greeted warmly and offer the better lot that was available upon our arrival. We had a peaceful nights sleep and a lovely fire to cook on with wood supplied by Robert. I would say that the only downfall was the motion detector light pole that shined into our car. Small issue easily remedied with window shades.

Weekend Trip to Bald Eagle Campsite

Hosts were very friendly and met me at the entrance when I messaged ahead. Site is on the smaller side just as the description said but I was still able to fit a large Coleman Evanston tent. Best part was the proximity to the creek. Campsite is very convenient and described very accurately on the listing. Also the recreation room with ping pong and pool table was a nice addition.

1 night at Bald Eagle Campsite

First camper of the the year. everything was as listed bathrooms were clean site was cleaned up nicely. Was meet at the entrance by the owner and got a rundown of everything. Definitely will be staying again and would recommend if you are looking for a simple relaxing place to stay.

Bald Eagle Campsite

33 sites · RVs, Tents11 acres · Tyrone, PA

Originally opened as a family campground owned and operated by Denis and Kay Snyder in 1964. Bald Eagle Campsite has been owned and operated by the Snyder family to this day! Come join us in the beautiful forested landscape of Central Pennsylvania. Located a mere 20 miles south of Penn State University, we are surrounded by the many amenities Central PA has to offer. We are welcoming to LGBTQ+ campers as well as all ethnicities. Pitch a tent on a quiet site and drop a line into one of our two trout streams crossing the campground. Hang a hammock between two towering poplar trees surrounded by flowering rhododendron. Or pull up in your camper and relax before and after a Penn State Football game under the blue and white sky. We have small, secluded sites to get away from it all, as well as conjoined sites to accommodate larger groups. On property we have bathrooms, hot showers, and a recreation hall with free ping pong, board games, and billiards. For a fee, we also have firewood, electricity, and a large event tent for rent. Campers must be less than 25 feet. Generators are not allowed. Music should not reach outside your own site after 9pm. There are no water hookups. Vehicle noise is audible from route 350, especially on Friday afternoons. Noise is diminished at sites further back from route 350. Our sites are wheelchair accessible, but the bathrooms and showers do have one step up into them. Walk to Snappy's 24-hour convenience store to use their free Wi-Fi, buy bags of ice, or to pickup snacks and a sub in the attached Snappy's Grille. An ice cream stand and restaurant are within walking distance. We require a minimum two nights stay for the recognized holiday weekends for Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day.

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.
