11 acres hosted by Mark I.
4 tent sites
There are four campsites located in the gap of the little Mahanoy Mountain and line Mountain range along the little Mahanoy creek. All four campsites have creek access and come with picnic table garbage can and fire ring and Firewood is usually available. There are two Porta potty‘s one located at each end of the sites. There are trails for hiking which extends along a abandoned railroad bed and also up into State game lands and into the deep woods. The hiking in the woods is on an incline. But the hiking on the railroad bed is pretty unintense. There is parking at each site. The sites are spread out along the creek bed ranging from more of a rustic primitive tent camping on site 4 to an open site on site 1.This site is located with some incline and some run along the Creek and offers multiple areas to hang your hammock, pitch a tent, or set your picnic areas up. There is a fire ring provided and there is firewood available scattered through the woods, free for the taking. Dry kindling for starting a fire is always a nice thing to have along with you!
There is access to the creek, but children are advised to be supervised at all times and swimming is at your own risk. There are no lifeguards provided. There is wildlife in the area such as; deer, raccoons, squirrels, chipmunks, and turkey so it’s advised to keep food picked up when not in use. Trash bags are provided in the garbage can, but garbage is expected to be taken along when campers leave as well as the site policed for garbage on the ground.
The abandoned railroad was in use during the coal mining in the area and sometimes interesting artifacts are found while hiking along the trail. People have commented on the beauty of the ferns and different foliage that grow in the area and the therapeutic noise of the water while camping along the creek
