This is a great spot. It was very convenient for where I was visiting. Ian was great and made sure I had a spot that worked for my setup and preference.
There are plenty of trees and grass so you feel like you're in nature but you also have the option for electricity, should you need it. The grassy area is overall level and is easy to get in and out of the parking area.

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

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.

Cliff Mine Heights
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.

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!

A wonderful, quiet place with very nice, thoughtful hosts. This was the only place we could find in close proximity to Pittsburgh and you'd never know you were close to the city. Highly recommend!

I was in late and out early. This place is great for a traveler’s much needed R&R. It’s got all the basic provisions for recharge, refill, and discard trash. The gravel is level, the neighborhood is quiet, and if you’re facing east the sunrise is a can’t miss feature. Host is friendly, communicative and takes the time and effort to make this a great camp.

Ian's place was perfect for our needs. It was close to everything, but felt pretty private considering it was next to the house. They had electricity which was a plus. It was very easy to communicate with Ian. The place was easy to find and set up. Would definitely use them next trip to Pittsburgh.

Nicely kept yard/home.. quiet area. Quick response when I arrived. I wasn't at the camper very often, as I was in Pittsburgh mostly, so I did not meet the host

Had a great 3 day stay with our fantastic hosts, Ian and Kaitlin. The site was very wide and was able to accommodate our RV and SUV, Ian and Kaitlin were very gracious with our pet by allowing us to walk him and play with him in their yard, and gave us great suggestions for things to do in the Pittsburgh area.
This campsite is close to shopping and just 30 minutes from Pittsburgh. Will definitely stay here the next time we come back to the area.

We had a great two day stay with Ian. If you are looking to see sights in Pittsburgh and want a quiet and comfortable place to stay, this is it. We had access to water and 30 amp shore power and were able to get to downtown Pittsburgh in minutes. The spot has gravel but no shade but it was perfect for what we needed. Would stay again.

Easy interstate access South of Pittsburgh, plenty of space at Ian's for my 24 foot camper. Ian was helpful with directions and questions. Only had 20 amp service available but he said an electrician is coming next week to put in 30 amp service. Sewer line hook up was available too. Will definitely stay there again when in the Pittsburgh area.

I absolutely loved my camp spot!! Ian and Kaitlin are so accommodating and kind. I travel all over the country working on the pipeline and without a doubt this has been my absolute favorite HipCamp. Whether it's for a one night or long term, you're in for fantastic stay. For sure the next time I'm in the area for work I will be posting up my trailer at Cliff Mine Heights :)
PS: TONS of places to eat and visit in the area!
