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.
Note: Guests wanting The River Ridge site should book their weekends far in advance, or plan a trip during weekdays!

Such a beautiful location. The views were amazing. The hosts were super accommodating and kind. They were on site when we visited, and they offered to give my nieces and nephews a ride in their buggy. They had a blast. Kids and dogs loved trekking through the creek and exploring the waterfall. The open field was great for us to play all sorts of games. Played capture the flag at night. All in all a great time.

Nice camp sites. Very few of them on the property so it’s very private. Nice view of the river and a nice waterfall easy to get to.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (10/10)
This was my first Hipcamp trip and it couldn’t have been better. The property was peaceful, beautiful, and gave me everything I wanted out of a true camping experience — wildlife, wide open sky, and the kind of quiet you just can’t find at home. Even with storms rolling in overnight, it felt raw and real in the best way.

Exactly as advertised. Great layout for groups, enough flat land for activities, and beautiful surroundings. Great trails on site. We made the adventurous trek down to the river from this site which took about 30 minutes. Trail was a tough challenge but we enjoyed it. The compost toilet was very clean, and it was great having the wood shed next to the site. Great communications from ownership and everything was very smooth. Highly recommend!

I had a great night here on an absolutely beautiful spot of land. The adventure started on the final drive up to the property where you traverse some really cool backwoods roads to get to this absolute gem. The EV site was easy to find after entering the property and while Im driving a regular vehicle It would have been immensely convenient if I needed the EV charger or power hookups. Would have loved to spend longer exploring the property and hope to be back in the future!

Our group had a really nice weekend here. There were lots of trails to hike, a cool waterfall and a longer hike down to the Allegheny River. The area is fairly secluded which was a big plus. Would definitely recommend.

We had the best time camping! Exploring the land and creek was a blast. We only left the campsite once to adventure for a few hours in the surrounding towns. The creek/waterfall was amazing. Our dogs swam and we hiked down the water, it was too cold for us to go in. The site was very shaded which we loved!! Can’t wait to come back!

Excellent camp site. Pretty private, although people needed to drive through our site to get to another site. The creek is a nice place to explore and the open field is excellent for star gazing. Chris was very responsive and everything was as described

We had such a wonderful stay here as a family (two kids & two dogs! The site itself is absolutely perfect - peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by rolling hills and nature. At night, the view of the stars was breathtaking, and during the day the beauty was just as striking. We loved the short hike to the waterfalls, complete with a natural swimming pool, and I especially enjoyed relaxing in my hammock over the creek with one of our dogs.
The owners and their family were so kind and welcoming - they even invited our kids up to play with theirs when they stayed a night at the site above us. Truly good-hearted people! The site was affordable, close enough to Pittsburgh for us to get away without going far, yet still felt like an escape from the chaos of everyday life. We’re so grateful to have had the opportunity to share in this special place!
