## Overview

Starting September 2023 we have no services. Water jugs will NOT be provided, firewood will not be at the site and you are to take your trash with you. This in exchange for lower prices. Please follow the principles of "Leave no Trace" There is firewood available, but you have to haul it to the campsite.

Private campsite, only one group at a time. Enjoy the quiet beauty with trails are good for hiking. 40+ acre plot of land across located between town of Palmerton and Blue Mountain Ski Area. A vacation home rental is on half the land, the other half is set aside for a private camp site, the two separated by a stream with waterfalls.

> 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!
