Stayed here for a weekend, and it was a wonderful spot. It felt private and secluded and had tons of well-maintained space. Steve was super nice too. I’d highly recommend, and I hope to stay here again sometime!
Steve seems like a down-to-Earth, very relatable man. We are all fortunate people like him exist!! He helped to calm my fear of camping in unknown territory and provide solutions for inclement weather. Camping here allows the opportunity to walk/hike some undeveloped land and just bask in Pennsylvania starlight.
The site was as described. A well maintained open field with soft grass for us to throw our tent up for a night on our way through Erie. Steve was a great host and has a beautiful property. Wish we could have stayed a bit longer to enjoy the scenery.

Steve was beyond welcoming and very flexible! Beautiful piece of land centrally located!
Steve's spot was quiet with lots of bird life and wildlife . It's 5 minutes from multiple Elk Creek Access points.
100% recommend as a base camp location when you want to get away from the crowds and have some peace and quiet.
I would absolutely stay there again when I am in the area.

Steve was very nice. He greeted us promptly and took us to our camp site. Property was nice and mostly flat. The location was great for us! We will definitely stay again..
Nice open large space. Bonus - picnic table & fire ring. Will definitely stay here again. Nice proximity to Erie if exploring/visiting there.
Nice site. Lots of open space. A fire ring & picnic table were nice added features.
Great spot for the night! Easy to find. Completely private and surrounded by woods.
Nicely manicured, huge, lawn with lots of areas to set up your tent(s). Very open. Great for star gazing.
The only thing missing is a port-a-potty but for the price you can't complain.

Great hidden gem right off highway! We had a blast!
Amazing! So quiet and peaceful! The best kept secret near Erie.
Quiet and private with beautiful view of surrounding field and forest. Short drive to Presque Isle Beach. Nice flat setup for our RV. The host was exceeding thoughtful and helpful by lending us his grill when ours ran out of propane. Highly recommend!

Steve and Cindy are wonderful people! Their property is beautiful and quiet with both an open field for trailers and wooded spots for tents. Because of all the rain, we weren't able to park in the field but they invited us to park our trailer along their long gravel driveway. We had a great stay and enjoyed checking out the area. Cindy told us about the local town beach and my kids had a blast swimming. I know where we'll stay next time we're passing through!

Very quiet space. Picnic table was a bonus. Lots of mosquitos this time of year.
Steve met us at the road to guide us in to our spot!
Our view each morning was our own little clearing in the woods. We saw deer each day, with birds singing us awake each morning and the fireflies segued into stars each evening.
The site is just a few hundred feet from the road, but there is so little traffic - you hardly notice it’s there.
Steve was great to point out the nearest restaurants, shopping, and even a few local fishing holes.
We did a day trip into Erie and then on to Presque Isle, and also drove over to Ashtabula, OH, to see the covered bridges. We stopped near the Ashtabula Lift Bridge and to dine at Fitzgerald’s Wine Bar - it was amazing!
There’s plenty to do within a short drive from Steve’s place, and it’s also a great place to do nothing at all. Peaceful and beautiful.
He has a good chunk of property to roam around, and also a creek runs through it for great fossil hunting.
Steve was a great communicator and a respectful host!
“Steve’s Fish Camp” is definitely one we’ll be revisiting.

What a perfect (and private!) stop on a cross country driving trip. Steve kept us posted on mud conditions a month in advance and by late March the site was dry as a bone. Lots of private space for the dogs to run and a quiet night in the tent. Highly recommended!
Steve and his wife Cindy are absolutely wonderful people and their land is gorgeous. If you’re into hunting or the outdoors in general, ask him to share a few stories, I promise you will not be disappointed!

We enjoyed our night staying in this quiet and peaceful spot! We arrived after dark but were greeted by at least 50 deer when we pulled in. It was just amazing! Steve was great at communication and made the last minute stop easy for us! Would definitely stay again.
I met with Steve he was very friendly told me a little about himself and property and camp site he offered his help if I needed anything he would be across the street at his residence I stopped there on way too NY and on way back I would definitely recommend stopping Thank you Steve and hipcamp

Steve helped me out of a jam with his site at last minute I had to cancel a different site because it wasn't assessable for me Steve was very good responding to me I would recommend camping at the site Thank you Steve
Steve's land is so beautiful. It is mostly thickly wooded and so serene. You could spend all of your time on the property. Steve provided a picnic table and a fire ring. We were worried about hearing highway noise due to the closeness of 79 and 90; it is just a low soft hum in the background. There are parks nearby like Struchen Flats and Erie Bulffs Park to enjoy. And, the gorgeous Presque Isle Park with all it has to offer. We also took side trips to Ashtabula and Conneaut. We visited over 7 parks in our weekend. We would stay again and hope to do so soon.

Steve's hip camp location is great for me. He has a good sized open grass meadow for my 2 large pets🐎🐎There are also smaller forest tent areas. Any rig 50ft or larger might have a problem with the turn in to the area. My rig is 40 ft w/ truck and I made it. Would return again.
