Ian's spot is perfect. It's near everything you could possibly need, all the while seeming secluded. Downtown is 20ish minutes away, There is a mutiuse trail nearby that we spent quite a bit of time with our dogs. The camo space was clean, quiet and comfortable. We have three small dogs and had zero issues with places to walk on property. Business trip. Great hosts. Thanks y'all

This was EXACTLY what we needed, which was a secure quiet place to park our rig and sleep while doing stuff in Pittsburgh. Brian stopped by and was a cool guy. The yard had cool stuff for the kids to -look- at. To be clear, you aren’t staying for the destination and the listing is clear about that. But that said, if you are like us and actually like industrial lots and cool trucks and stuff, you might just hang out and enjoy yourself. Anyway would recommend 10/10. I’m sure we will be back because Pittsburgh is rad.

I had a great stay @Cliff Mine Heights. I was passing through town and needed a place to lay my head. I messaged Ian to see if this would be ok seeing it was last minute and he was extremely friendly and welcoming and assured me that it was no problem. Upon arrival he told me where I could park my vehicle for the evening. He later came over and introduced himself and also to some of his family. Just truly great kind people and Ian and I had some great conversation about camping, and truck setups, work. He was truly an Amazing Host and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his place to stay. Thanks Ian and if I’m ever in town again I’ll surely look you up. Best of luck on all your endeavors.

Brian‘s location was perfect for us and he was very good at communicating where to park on his large lot. He provided electric, 110 V 20 A and there was water available at a Spicket to fill the tank if needed and also had a location to dump the black and gray water tanks. The lot was huge and very easy to maneuver around it was very convenient for us. I would recommend this location for anybody needing a spot to park their RV in the Pittsburgh area.

This was my first wintertime van-camping outing with just the kids and I. The site was quiet and very inviting. It is also far enough out of the city-centers to look forward to stargazing on a future visit, when the sky is hopefully clear. Our hosts were very inviting and friendly. While there are not a lot of amenities, this is a perfect dry-camping spot for those on the road, as well as those more local (such as myself) who just need to get out of the house for a night or a weekend. The geese and such in the barn are also noticeable, but are not noisy as such to be an issue. Overall, we look forward to visiting this site again!

The whole space is beautifully green; would recommend splurging a tiny bit for the site with the great view. The hosts are so wonderful, and they gave us some awesome recommendations for nearby National Parks. Such a blessing to meet them. Would definitely stay here again!

Brian’s land was ideal for my needs. Quiet and peaceful, and I felt very secure leaving my travel trailer while visiting Pittsburgh every day. It’s convenient for commuting to the city and very affordable.
Brian himself was quick to respond and easy to communicate with (for instance, he was incredibly patient with my inability to find the sewer port and guided me right to it.)
It’s no state park with tables and fire pits but it was absolutely perfect for my needs and I’ll definitely return next time I’m in the area to visit folks in PGH

The driveway is steep but thoroughly negotiable. At the top, is a large area where we were able easily to back our 25' travel trailer into the designated spot, and we were able to leave without backing and filling. HOWEVER, after we set up our trailer, it rolled back off the blocks the jack was on! It was only caught by the wheel chock behind one of the rear wheels! Had it kept going, it would have rolled down the hill in front of the house and onto the road below. BE SURE TO CHOCK YOUR WHEELS FIRST THING! The angle is NOT steep, but it was enough for this incident.
Also, Cliff Mine Road seems to have a split personality: a mile from Ian's place is an intersection. Three roads come into that intersection. Each of the three are named Cliff Mine Road. Ian lives on Cliff Mine / Enlow Road! Be sure to include the Enlow in your GPS navigation tool!
This all sounds serious. One does need to be aware of these two matters. But Ian and Kaitlin are wonderful, and the spot is very nice. Electricity only -- no water or sewer, but for one or two nights (we stayed two), it was excellent.

Back-to-basics camping off the beaten path :-) ... The host, Mark, was very cheerful and helpful to guide us by cell phone to our campsite ... Quiet, serene setting with large campsites ... Limited amenities to a very clean Porta-Potty and hand-pumped water ... As close to dispersed (primitive, boondocking) camping as one can get ... Small, quiet portable generator was permitted ...

Ian's HipCamp was the perfect place for us to stay while visiting a relative in Pittsburgh for a few days. The spot was near highway access and close to shopping and restaurants. We especially appreciated the asphalt driveway and the safe, peaceful neighborhood. Hookups were sufficient and grouped for easy access. The yard was spacious, and there was plenty of room to park when we unhitched from our travel trailer. Communications were timely and easy. We highly recommend this HipCamp!
