Just outside the quaint town of Austin sits a vivid reminder of one of Pennsylvania's worst disasters – the Austin Flood. In 1909, the dam was constructed on Freeman Run to power the Bayless Papermill downstream. Many wondered if the dam was safe. On September 30, 1911, Austin found out. Poor construction, coupled with torrential rain, resulted in the dam's collapse. Nearly 400 million gallons of water were released, destroying everything for 8 miles. At least 78 people perished in the tragedy. It was the second worst flood disaster in Pennsylvania's history and sixth worst dam failure in U.S. history. The tragedy sparked new legislation to improve dam safety, and the Austin Dam was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. The ruins of the dam still stand, surrounded by a 76-acre park, as a tribute to the lives lost in the Austin Flood. Don't miss one of Potter County's best kept secrets!

We loved camping here. Marie and her family were extremely accommodating & friendly. The campsite is awesome. It is secluded and there is allot of area for your exclusive use while camping here. My daughter loved watching the cows play. The outhouse provided was spotless and the outdoor showered is really cool. Some unexpected added features were the provided hammocks, and welcoming packet that included chicken food to feed the chickens on the farm. I almost hate to leave this honest review - because I want the site to be available when I want to use it. Lol. We will definitely stay here again. (Hopefully very soon)

We enjoyed a peaceful, 3 nights at the boondocking site beginning of October.
If getting away & immersion in nature but near conveninences is attractive you have found the spot.
It's easy access from Rt 80. If you have a low rear clearance on your rig don't take the "no truck" route down Madison Avenues steep hill, continue on Rt 322.
Our map apps using the street address came up as Corsica & that worked. GPS had destination beyond the entrance so keep an eye out in advance for the Hipcamp sign.
The gate is not a typical swing gate. It's a "piston"(can't find proper name) gate that is moderately hard to slide open. Be prepared to have some physical capability to enter the site. It is a great feature to add security. Lock worked easily.
When you enter the "gate" there are signs not far from gate that were confusing to us. Arrows appear to be opposite of the correct way to enter according to hip camp directions for boondocing camp. We ignored that sign & followed the directions from app & we were successful.
The road back to site is not bad at all. Our 24' shuttle rv conversion with bumper basket didn't scrap or have any issues.
Trail to the stream thats indicated in description, is off of road between boondock site & adventure camp & marked w a tire with a utility flag.
Site has some very minimal road noise. Large opening that was great for solar even in fall.
The aroma of sweet grass permeated the air & we enjoyed the bird sounds. We appreciated & consider the lack

We just got back from a wonderful extended weekend boondocking in our 34' travel trailer. The property felt like a true escape into the woods, but still easily accessible from the main road. The driveway leading up to the site was a little tight for a travel trailer, with some vegetation hitting the trailer while moving (not anything that would cause damage). We did experience limited cell service, but it was much needed to truly escape. Being able to keep our dogs off leash was also a huge benefit of camping on the property. The hiking trail was very peaceful and well marked. The night sky was very clear and perfect for stargazing and even being able to see the milky way. We cannot wait to visit again for our next escape into nature

Location was secluded and relatively quiet. You can hear some ocassional traffic noise, but it's not a busy road by any means. We were a short drive from historic Brookville and the Redbank Valley bike trail as well as the creek. Lots of woods to explore although the trail blazes were faded, sporadic and only visable going one direction we were able (the dogs and I) to get most of the loop. We did need to back track as the creek was too high from all the rainfall to safely walk along and cross the stream. We saw no one else which above all was the best!
