I've had the property for 10 years. It's located in a more rugged section of Pennsylvania. Over time I've been planting fruit trees and bushes. Can't quite call it an orchard yet but someday!Come enjoy camping, hiking, hunting, boating, fishing, swimming and much more at this site nestled amongst game lands #287 and Allegheny river. 2000 acres of game land to explore, half mile from the Erie to Pittsburgh bike trails. Stay for hunting season or launch your boat onto the Allegheny River. 1 mile from scrubgrass ohv Park so bring your buggy or just enjoy the races.

Great campsite on a lovely property. Though I got in late and left early, I was able to chat briefly with Martin and Debbie who very friendly and welcoming. Quiet and very safe. Perfect pit stop off i80 for a long road trip. Highly recommend!

Marty and were so accommodating! We were welcomed and shown the options for parking. Our site was gorgeous. We could have stayed for a few days to check out the bike trails and hiking, but alas, we only had one night at the farm. Would definitely stay again. A bit off the beaten path, and so worth it!

This spot is lovely and very private. Richard was an excellent host - he greeted us on arrival and directed us to the spot, provided a map with local recommendations, and was accessible for any questions we had.

The area was great! No neighbors, bird tripping, nature sounds. Everything was great! The host was informative but he'll respond to you little late because there's no Internet reception in the area including the campsite. If you are looking for a cheap place to camp with no others campers then I recommend this one

A very quiet location although alongside a road. An evening train or two can be a bit loud, but fairly brief. If you like small towns, Zelienople is 10 minutes away - fun, weekly events, shopping and great food options.
