Greene Kitchen Farm has been farmed by the Greene family since 2013. If you step back in time a few owners, the Kitchen family with 8 boys and a girl farmed the land that surrounds the little tributary to Montour Run. The Greenes have been pasturing the majority of the land in nature's image with an eye toward biomimicry and an agro-forestal, savannah landscape. The herbivores pulse through the landscape with flocks of birds following them.
Since the livestock have been fenced out of the creek, a little jewel of a wildlife refuge traverses the farm from northwest to southeast. This riparian zones shades the creek, protects the water quality, and provides great habitat for coyotes, minks, eagles, white-tailed deer, groundhogs, hawks, squirrels, woodcock, and a variety of songbirds. Greene Kitchen Farm camp sites are situated on this varied section of brook. Learn more about this land:Bring your tent or park your pop-up along the spring at Greene Kitchen Farm. Livestock will be fenced in just in view, and the birds will serve as your alarm clock. Your site will be the last stop on a mowed path through the hollow nestled between the spring and the woods.

The history of the Pump House began in 1878, when three ambitious men hatched a plan for the world's first long-distance underground oil pipeline which would transport oil from well to refinery more quickly and efficiently than the horse-drawn wagons of the time. Pumping stations were needed every fifty miles along this long route to keep pressure on the pipeline so that the oil could reach its destination. Pump House Bed and Breakfast is one of the only properties in the country in which the both the original homes of the foremen and the large brick buildings remain. Doug, owner, has spent more than 20 years lovingly restoring these foreman houses as well as the large industrial brick buildings. The Brick Barn Hall once housed steam pumps to pressurize the pipe and keep the oil moving, and the Catawissa Cabin behind it served as the telegraph office. The Studio Hall contained boilers that produced the steam to power the pumps, while the adjoining Studio Cabin functioned as a blacksmith's workspace. Today, the buildings function as reception spaces for weddings and other special events, and house private suites as well as an art studio where Doug pursues his work and teaches drawing, ceramics, and stained glass classes. The Season House, one of the two foreman homes, features additional guest accommodations while Doug resides in the other foreman house. Visit and experience a piece of PA history!

Over 25 years ago, Bud, LaRue and Tim bought a piece of property and built a cabin to share with their families. Fast forward to today.... families are grown and now we want to share this incredible spot with you! Come and explore the great outdoors! ... breathe fresh air, go for a hike, take a nap, eat s'mores, sit by the fire, catch and release fish in the pond, bird-watch, play a game together or... just plain relax! This 2-room cabin will sleep eight. BLT Cabin is a nice relaxing place to get away from it all! The generator in the out-building will run the outlets and lights, the water pump on the porch will give you water, and the outhouse is recently renewed. Waivers for you and your kids will need to be signed when you arrive and then enjoy the great outdoors!

Such a beautiful spot! Peaceful, quiet, and well-maintained! We loved sitting on the dock in the morning watching the horses. A short drive from Rickett’s Glen for killer hiking trails too! Susan was such a gracious host and escorted us to the campsite after dark when we arrived late, and continued to keep us well stocked with water & firewood. Definitely will be back!

Susan was one of the best hosts we've had on hip camp! She had wood readily available and priced very reasonably, and kept us supplied with water the whole weekend! An off-roading adventure took us to our site and it couldn't have been more perfectly secluded. It was spacious enough for all of our supplies with plenty of extra room for the dogs to run around. It was really nice to have a bathroom for just us, the outhouse was very clean and well stocked! This may have been our best trip with hipcamp yet! Thank you Susan, we would love to stay again soon!

We had a great time with our 6 year old. Lovely spot right by the pond, clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The host was super friendly and helpful. Best of all the lack of mosquitos - I thought I'd be eaten alive (as I usually am) as it had been raining, but was very pleasantly surprised.

This place was great for our framily camping weekend. The store across the way is well stocked, along with plenty of firewood and ice. The land itself is beautiful - I almost don't want to tell people about it! Several varieties of mushrooms all over, the flowing creek, the birds & animals - was just perfect.
It thunderstormed for hours the first night we were there and the land reacted so well to it. The tree cover broke the day time heat beautifully.
We will be back!
