Camp is on 50 acres with a pink marked trail to Red Bank Creek on the western border and back up through a hemlock forest along south border. A small stream runs through the property and forms a rocky delta in Red Bank Creek. All camp sites are on the eastern border and close to the main road to access property. Hike, enjoy the sound of the stream tickling through property, stargaze, or rest, watch nature's critters, read or just relax in a hammock. No hunting on property but fishing permitted along "river" aka Red Bank Creek. Please keep fires in firepit and noise levels low. Set up to be most natural, minimal mowing, and sites meant to be more private. We let you know if you have others on property. No running water or flush toilets on sites unless in your self-contained camper. A compost loo provided. Lots of kindling can be easily gathered for a fire. Consider ordering some ahead of time if it has been raining though. There is a tarp and a wheelbarrow to collect logs and kindling and move to your site.

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!

3 nights at Neal Homestead Camp Sites
The cabin is by a stream and a magical patch of woods. There were plenty to explore and my friend and I had a great time. The pink trail was a great walk, but it was also fun to just follow along the creek if you don’t mind traversing back and forth the creek. Near the banks of the creek there were some interesting fungi. We also found a deer skull. It’s a hunting permitted area so depending on the time of year you would need high vis gear, which we didn’t have but used whatever we could find on walks. It’s also close to the lovely town of Brookville so that’s there for people who want a few hours on the town or ice cream. It’s a real no fuss place and yet it has everything you would need staying at a somewhat primitive cabin. Offers just enough shelter for people who want to spend time in nature in the winter but are not super hardcore about the weather/ doesn’t want to spend money on a lot of winter specific gear.
The fireplace heats up the upstairs sleeping area really well. We were here during Christmas time, yet some nights we were sweating in our sleeping bags. Downstairs doesn’t heat up that well and if you’re bothered by it you’ll have to keep a flame going through the day.
Host was communicative and attentive, someone came and checked on us at one point too. Plenty of firewood was ready for us. Only wish there was more potable water though, but we bought jugs of water ahead of time so it was never a problem. Overall a great time and definitely would come back.

This is an amazing campsite. Very well thought out in design and very private. Out of my 6 days on the road this was my best night. Tons of firewood, plenty of space for large groups, a great patio with seating boulders and ample space for parking. Highly recommend. Oh, super nice guy as well!

Great spot! Directions that were sent were perfect. Sites were clearly marked, which was really appreciated since we pulled in at night in the rain. Firewood was delivered to our site and under a tarp (again, super appreciated) We had a great stay. Secluded, we didn’t have to speak to anyone the whole 2 days we were there. Stars were beautiful at night. Also, had decent cell service, which I was surprised by. No frills, just nature.

Did some drive-up tent camping here with some friends in October and had a great time! We had site 8 which was nice and secluded with a wonderful view of the autumn colors. Easy access to hikes to the old paper mill and Austin Dam right from our campsite. Porta-potty was right nearby and sparkly clean. And we had full cell service too (T-Mobile).

This is probably my 5th or 6th stay here and our experience has and still is amazing! Alvie was great and very helpful. He told us about the events going on at the park and what to watch out for in terms of wildlife and also gave us great suggestions on where to hike. Camp site was very clean and well maintained. My group and I would definitely be returning again in the near future!

Great place you can hear a little traffic but you can’t see it. There was no one else camping when we stayed so it was pretty secluded. A little pricey for just some back woods land that’s the only downfall I’d say it’s worth like 12 dollars

This is literally our favorite place to camp, if I didn't have a home, I could live the rest of my life right there. The land is meticulously kept with so many hiking trails to explore. The dam Ruins and paper mill are fascinating with much information posted about the history. The bathroom is well kept and stocked as well as the wood and ice for purchase. The privacy and size of the site is truly a bargain. The stars out there are comparable to the views at cherry springs. We had a lovely reconnection with nature over the weekend and I thank the hosts for keeping places exactly like this existing! We'll definitely be back again soon.

I have been staying at various HipCamp spots while driving across the country and this one is unique (in a good way)! The property is beautiful and the cabin is right next to the road so very easy to find/access. I enjoyed having both the fireplace and the composting toilet :). I would stay here again.

Excellent spot. Plenty of open space! We had room for two massive tents, a 13' canopy, two large hammocks, and two cars with so much room to spare. The amount of wood we were provided was absolutely bonkers - I paid for two bundles per day and we EASILY had enough for two additional days if we wanted. Also, literally the CLEANEST Portopotty we have ever used. 10/10 camping experience

Wonderful experience, private unique wooded and/or field sites, with still easy access to water and facilities. Great hardwood firewood! There is some road noise, but wasn't too loud or distracting after dark. Make sure you enter the park entrance via the main road/highway, instead of the ATV back entrance Google maps tried to take us down, and be sure to visit the historical broken dam and welcome center. It's the central location for water, firewood, gift shop, and hiking map.

We had a wonderful camping experience here! The tent sites were clean, spacious, and surrounded by beautiful nature. The campground was quiet and peaceful at night, and the fire pits made it easy to cook and relax under the stars. Bathrooms and facilities were well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful. A perfect spot for anyone who enjoys camping in a tent—highly recommended.

Tent camped at the adventurer spot and it was spacious and quiet. Even the second night other campers came to the homestead we could see nor hear them which is our main factors for camping. The other host checked in on us and was nice to talk to. The pink marked trail led to a gorgeous wide creek area. Only suggestion would be to mark trees in the way back as the end of the trail does get into the woods and can be a bit of an adventure trying to find the way back to the wide trail. Would recommend again and can't wait to stay at the cabin next time!
