Hipcamp at Hawk Shadow Farm, Pennsylvania

My farm is just beautiful. I have owned it for 45 years and am proud as can be of its beauty and serenity. Your campsite is located on a beautiful quiet stretch of the Little Schuylkill River below the world famous Hawk Mountain Sanctuary.

We use it often, tube the river often, sit by the campfire often. We know you will love it and hope you will respect it like we do. The location could not be better.

Only 2.7 miles from Hawk Mountain Visitor Center.

We are a working Christmas Tree farm.

Pitch your tent in the woods along the Little Schuylkill River at the base of
