Nice site right on the water. Everything was well maintained and clean. Short walk to the beer garden on Sunday was a nice bonus (beer was great too!). Would definitely stay again.

Tent camping on Rick's land was an excellent experience. Being right on the creek was very pleasant with various wildlife sightings including heron, turtles, and large fish. The beer garden events on Sunday is a great perk, as is the access to the canoes/kayaks.

Me and my gf went to the 2nd creekside grill this past weekend and it was amazing. The open faced cabin stayed completely dry and had some trinkets of past campers that definitely aided us when it came to the bugs. The campfire and charcoal grill was easy to set up and was amazing to relax and watch the beautiful creek right in front of us. There was plenty of space to set up for fishing and to get ready for our adventures.
The hosts were amazing and helped us with some questions we had. If you have a air mattress there's a plug in by the bridge where the beer garden is. Unfortunately it rained all weekend so we missed out on the beer garden but we definitely look forward to seeing it in the future.
They have alot of kayaks and canoes to choose from that make it perfect to fish down the creek. They have plenty of paddles and life jackets to choose from as well. We did accidently pick one where it started leaking but the hosts said they have a plastic welder that will maintance it!
We caught ALOT of sunfish, some trout, bass and even catfish. There's also some cool things to explore the grounds like tiny bridges, a lookout tower and some old zipline/outdoor challenges.
There is a road behind and far down to the left but stayed quiet and didn't bother us at all. There's a old train track that is in front of us but never heard a train go by so i believe it is decommissioned.
The site is about 10 minute drive from local stores and restaurants which was perfect for us.

We had a lovely time camping on Rick's property. It's a lovely creekside property with lots to see including Swans, Bald Eagles, and plenty of other unidentified wildlife!
The porta potty was clean.
We will be back!

This is such a beautiful spot. My family and I had such a great weekend cooking over the fire, kayaking, fishing, and enjoying the beautiful foliage. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Rick!

I loved camping and on Ricks land. Always grew up fishing in the Brandywine but never thought camping would be as fun as it was. The kayaks and canoes were a great plus. The land was clean and taken care of. Rick was also a very accommodating host and got us everything we needed. Definitely going to come back here.

Another great stay! This site has it all, and walking down the trail and across the street to the beer garden (Sundays only) was fun! We saw a beautiful swan when we paddled upstream, and a heron flew past our camp over the creek one evening.

Site 1 Stillwater Site
Beautiful location, pretty secluded (near a small bridge that had moderate traffic, about 25 yards from a less traveled road), had fun swimming by the dam, fishing, and cooking on the fire. Would go again, but opt for site 2

This is such a lovely spot on a quiet creek. There are two sites, but they are out of sight and earshot of each other. Drive up access and clean porta potty were great conveniences. The beer garden on Sundays is a two minute walk and such a cute set up with music and a food truck, wine, and cider. If you aren’t there on a Sunday, you should still walk down to the area where they have it and check it out. There are some fun breweries, wineries, and local restaurants close by in Coatesville, Downingtown, and West Chester.

Site 2 Creekside Grill
This was my first time camping and what nice experience! Rick was very good at staying in touch and he even popped by to say hello and invite us to the beer garden they have on the property. Not only was there a beer garden but there was plenty of kayaks to use in the creek and a nice waterfall / dam. We had a pot a potty near by, it wasn’t super clean but Rick had informed us it was being taken to be cleaned while we were there. We would walk down to the beer garden and use those bathrooms that were extremely clean! We saw a bald eagle while kayaking so that was pretty exciting.
Overall it was a beautiful campsite with lots of things to keep you from being bored. The property is super clean, even the little cabin/shelter. Our group of 6 all said they’d happily go back!

Site 2 Creekside Grill
This was by far the nicest spot i ever camped. My tent was literally 6 feet from the water. I saw a bald eagle too. Caught a few fish. I basically had the whole place to my self because whoever booked the other site had to cancel. Would have been fine either way because the sites are pretty far apart. There’s a shelter too to keep your stuff dry , or take cover from a storm. I will be going back for sure

This campsite is such a gem! Lots of space to fish with a beautiful view of the creek and the wildlife. Pretty private with the other camp spots spaced out and a nice bathroom! My boyfriend and I loved this spot.

We had an awesome time at Rick’s property! We love to camp and usually go much further away from home into state/nat’l forests etc, but short on time and desperate to get out of Philly for a minute we opted for Rick’s. It was easy to find and get to-just an hour’s drive from our home in Philadelphia —but worlds away. The campsite itself was well-appointed with 2 picnic tables, excellent fire area, and a nice covered padded lounge. Porta potty was easy access; plenty of privacy all around and only saw the neighbors at the other site once. Great landscaping, plenty of space for tents and spreading out. The creek was the highlight—the soothing sound of water moving over the dam and the constant sound of birds was a delight.
Our site was quite near a small road, but it wasn’t a disturbance at all, day or night. We noted in the listing that there’s a pop-up beer garden w/live music on the property on Sundays so we stayed through til Monday to check it out—so glad we did! It was a lovely 2 minute stroll from the campsite, and the music, beer, food and vibes were fantastic. We are so thankful we were able to reset our brains with some easy-access nature, and we look forward to returning!

Our stay at Creekside Grill (we kept hoping for a restaurant, haha, so we didn’t have to do our own grilling) was magical. Looking out of our screen in the morning onto the creek was a great way to start the day!
It was just the two of us (the other campsite was empty), and the peace & quiet was sublime. There was occasional road noise, but there aren’t many places in the area where you won’t have ANY road noise. Oh, and if you THINK you’ve got constant road noise (like Hubby did), walk down by the Stillwater site and realize it’s the dam overflow you’re hearing. 😉
I somehow overlooked the “4WD recommended” note in the HipCamp listing, but we made it down the hill with our AWD Tesla Y because of its higher clearance, although we had to be careful in some spots.
We loved the signage that made it easy to tell which was our campsite and appreciated the freshly mowed grass, picnic tables, and ADK shelter (definitely bigger than most ADK lean-to shelters) stocked with chairs.
We also enjoyed chatting with Rick when he drove by on his ATV one day, and we will definitely come back!
A final note on food: if the weather isn’t cooperating for outdoor cooking, we highly recommend The Hungry Pilot at the Chester County Airport in Coatesville. Seriously, an airport café! Great beer selection and delicious food. The Four Dogs is also very good (with indoor/outdoor seating), but don’t even consider The Whip Tavern – too stressful to find a parking spot there.

Well groomed campsite with plenty of space for tents. The stone fire-pit next to the water and a well placed table sized stone nearby were much appreciated. A Dry open air shelter turned into a rainy day game room with our card table and chairs. Our next trip will include a Monday to enjoy the beer garden! Excellent space. Thank you for the tree stumps😎

This place is an absolute gem!!! The campsite is perfectly private with lots of room to spread out. The shelter came in handy on a rainy weekend. Caught lots of fish, listened to the frogs, sat by the fire and loved every minute. We will 100% come back, hopefully on a Sunday night when we can enjoy the beautiful beer garden down the road. Thank you Rick for all the thoughtful attention to and care of your property, we loved our stay and will be back soon!

Top tier hip camp for sure. My girlfriend and I stayed at campsite 2 in February 2024 and loved every second we were there. No one was in camp site one when we were there so it felt like a private paradise to us. We had two picnic tables, fire pit, creek side access, the wooden overhang from the photos, and enough flat land to build another 5 tents at least. I really only stay at hipcamps with one site because privacy is key to us and when we saw that no one booked site 1 we were sold on site 2. Site 1 and 2 are slightly visible from one another but 95% of the time it’s not in your eye line. We saw 2 bald eagles while we were here which felt so patriotic as it sailed over the massive old glory perched over the center of the creek. What an amazing thing to watch. We showed up on our first night in the dark so finding the entrance was slightly difficult but once I saw the gate on the corner of Mortonville road it was clear we had arrived. Once at the gate the instructions were perfect and to get to campsite two you just drive as far back as you can until the road is blocked by rocks. Would absolutely recommend to anyone and will be back for sure.

The site was awesome! It gets muddy when it rains but if the weather is clear, its one of the best spots around. The site was clean and the creek was great for fishing! Rick was great and answered any questions quickly.
