Excellent piece of land! Don't pack heavy bags the hike in is up hill and easy with a few lighter bags. Very large camp with great views! I'll definitely be coming back!

This site was THE ideal campsite! With its beautiful grassy, rocky, piney hilltop landscape, there were so many areas to set up and lounge around. It's breathtakingly beautiful up there! I'm personally averse to rain and wet while camping, so we left after a super heavy squall on the first day, but I intend to book this site in better weather again and again. As everyone else has mentioned, the trek up to the site isn't the most pleasant if you have lots of stuff, but it's 100% worth it for the end result. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Had a lovely time! Very private, beautiful views and had everything you need. The property is beautiful and plenty of hiking available. Would definately rent and come back again!

This campsite was amazing! It was the first campsite I’ve found on Hipcamp that was truly secluded and isolated. My partner and I did not see or hear anybody the entire weekend of our trip, as there is only one campsite and it is very secluded from any neighbors or road/traffic noise. It was truly a much needed getaway to unplug from society. The views were beautiful as well, and the site was very spacious. There was also plenty of firewood provided and two hammocks which were great for true relaxation amidst a magnificent view. There was also a canopy and three picnic tables available, as well as chairs around the campfire. The site felt very welcoming and relaxing. I definitely recommend this site if you want a secluded and isolated camp. The camp was also easy to find and the host provides very thorough directions. The hike up to the site was not the easiest, even with the provided wagons, as it is rocky and uphill, so try to pack light and take multiple trips if necessary. However, the walk is only about 10 mins. This site is a gem and I would definitely come back in the future.

The views were absolutely beautiful! The moon hangs right over the campsite and everything is provided for you minus food and a tent. There’s so much open space and it felt really nice to unplug from the city, thank you for the stay and we look forward to staying here again.

This was possibly one of my favorite places to camp. Everyone loved how secluded it was yet still close to everything. We felt like we were in the mountains out West and not the Poconos. Mark really made this an easy trip with supplying all the firewood, water, chairs, hammocks, wagon and wheelbarrow. We had to make 3 trips up, but it was totally worth it with those views. We timed the hike up to the campsite at 7 minutes. It was a little rocky and up hill, but totally doable. We will definitely stay here another weekend just when its a tad warmer.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this relaxed and very private campsite that was thoughtfully provisioned with plenty of fresh, cold water, ample firewood, extra tarps, Adirondack chairs, etc. Provided instructions were very thorough and the host was responsive so everything went smoothly. The constant swoosh of traffic noise from the road below was the only intrusion so earplugs are recommended for sleeping if this might be an issue for you. We would definitely return to this very special spot!

The views were wonderful! Getting up to the site was definitely more strenuous and uphill than anticipated, pack only essentials and be in shape! Plenty of wood and water provided, the one container had some mold on the cap so I would still recommend bringing your own drinking water. Loved the privacy and set up and all the trails.

Amazing secluded campsite on breathtaking property. Amenities were wonderful, had everything we needed. Definitely follow the advice of packing light since it’s a bit of a hike to the campsite, but the provided wagons were really helpful for heavier items.

Blue Mountain Private Campsite
Loved our time camping at this site. Saw no other people the entire weekend. Mark provided firewood and water, as well as carts to lug your belongings to the campsite. It is about an 8-10 min walk from where you park your car, but the views are worth it. Our dogs loved running around all weekend. The stars were stunning at night.

The campsite is beautiful and the included amenities (picnic tables, chairs, water, fire pit, etc.) are helpful.
Unfortunately you can hear some traffic noise from the road below, though it’s not constant.

We love this site. It’s beautiful, secluded, and gorgeous scenery. It’s a bit of a hike up to the site but it is so worth it. We have come here a few times and have loved each and everyone. Would definitely recommend to anyone!!!

This was our second visit, had a great time again. The walk from the car to the campsite is long and steep if you’re hauling heavier items, but good exercise (and we were very grateful for the provided wagon). Beautiful views, truly private and we would definitely visit in the future.

Ample picnic tables for cooking and stationing. Four post tent to shield from the hot sun helped along with the extra water Mark left for us. There’s a little spring fed creek to sit in with very cold water if it gets too hot. In addition, there are extra tarps to shield from the sun if needed.
Wildlife check list:
Gold Finches
Very noisy Cooper’s hawk fledgling
Turkeys(heard but not seen)
Toads
Turkey vultures
Mourning doves
Eastern Kingbird
Woodthrush
Mockingbird
Thanks again, Mark!

We love this site. Watching a storm come down the valley up on the ridge is remarkable. Plenty of firewood provided and water.

This was the perfect little retreat for my son and I. Everything was as expected and more. The picnic tables, canopy, and hammocks were unexpected surprises and were definite bonuses for our trip.
Definitely worth the trip!

A fine site, but left after a couple hours due to continuous gunfire shots. Not the quiet retreat my family was hoping for.

Great, spacious campsite with beautiful views. Owner provides firewood, water, chairs, picnic tables and hammocks. Wooden deck is great for setting up your tent. There is an uphill walk to the campsite (10-15 minutes) with carts provided by owner to help carry supplies. Bring rope to secure your tent to the deck!

It was such an amazing stay. The location is very accessible to folks in Philly and the campsite is just perfect. It has everything we needed for a great weekend with our senior dog.
I will warn that the hike in is a bit steep so learn from us and pack a little lighter (the wagon helped out a lot though!)
