Was very peaceful with the river right across the street. The train was very active but not over bearing. Very simple and to the point. We pulled in set up and enjoyed the evening.

A lovely single camping spot situated between the Juniata River and a farm field on a quiet rural road. An active railroad is just beyond the farm field which we enjoyed more than expected. Ben's directions were excellent and we had no issue locating the site. Site is level and easy to navigate. This area has a lot to offer. We visited Jacks Mountain to take in the views of the valleys and migrating hawks. Walked along the river at Victory Park in Lewistown, then headed over to take in the beauty of the Stone Arch Bridge. Ben is a wonderful host and is very responsive to messages. We will definitely will be returning and staying at this location.

Pleasant spot between Juniata River and farm fields, with active railroad behind. Lots of wildlife. Had a bald eagle fly over before we were even parked. Gravel space is large and level with easy hook ups. Enjoyed birding from road and watching the trains. Easy drive to Penn State University Park.

I'm not sure why my review didn't post...our pics did, so let me try again. Even tho we ended up with a rainy couple of days, we really enjoyed our stay. As noted on Ben's description, it's one site that sits along the Juniata, easy hook up. There's a quiet lane along the river that you can walk along to enjoy the fields and water. You'll notice the sounds of the neighbor's chickens and a regular freight train, but we thought that added to the charm. Also, pay attention to Ben's directions if coming in from the south. Google will want you to turn sooner, but WAIT for Granville Rd or it's near impossible with a trailer to turn into the driveway. Once you turn on Granville Rd, you're good to go with the printed directions. Mcveytown has a nice little restaurant with great ice cream and Lewistown has a brewery that had good food, good beer and live music. We even hit a farmer's market in Boalsburg. It was a great couple days.

Ben's camp was great--one site with a level, gravel area, full hook up with view of the Juniata River. There was plenty of room to turn around but we found pulling right up to the hook ups worked best. There were neighbors on each side but far enough away to still be peaceful and private. River Road runs along the Juniata and is a nice walk.
Try Harshbarger's Sub n Malt in Mcveytown for a casual meal and homemade ice cream or Shy Bear Brewery in Lewistown for craft beer and live music. Boalsburg has a Farmer's Market on Tuesdays, May to Nov. (40-45 min drive) Yes, there are chickens, roosters and a guinea hen, but we loved them. And yes, you'll hear the freight trains running. That's America, folks.
Just a note, if you're coming from the south on 103, Google directions will instruct you to turn on Anderson Rd. Follow Ben's directions and wait for Granville Rd. You'll end up in the same spot, but the angle of his driveway will make the turn near impossible with a trailer unless you're coming in from Granville.

It's a great "stopver" spot. I needed to be in town and it worked to get away while being close and able to attend to details I needed. Although between 2 residential properties, it's very pretty , quiet and the sunrise and sunsets are fabulous. There will be the sound of trains frequently (you can see them in the distance) , but as I grew up in this area, I expected that. River access is across the road. I personally wouldn't choose it for lengthy camping as I prefer wooded areas, but it was perfect as a home base while in the area.

VERY remote and it’s a SINGLE camper site in the backyard of the host. No signage so i had to ask around for it after getting lost - not easy to maneuver with a trailer camper…

Absolutely breathtaking location. Huge parking spot for our 32’ camper. Ben was very responsive to all our questions and even made a recommendation to the winery next door. Loved the chickens that visited lol. Would 100% stay here again!

We really enjoyed this beautiful spot overlooking the river. The full hookups worked great. A dozen chickens next door were cool. Free firewood was a plus. Met some friendly people too

Ben’s place was great. We felt safe and relaxed the whole time. The site was well laid out and services were perfect. Most of all, the views of the river we picturesqe. We rode The Lower Trail on our bikes and for the first time in many stays welcomed a day of rest, until we found the winery down the rode and bought a case of wine! The evening and early am temps were cool and were restful even with the frequent trains beyond the beautiful view of the soybean feild in the back. And we went for ice cream twice at Harshbargers in McVeytown. Did not realize there was free access to the river next door for fishing. Can’t wait to come back and fish!

I had a great time at this campsite. The view of the sunset was amazing and just the entire site was very nice and clean. There are neighbors with chickens, but they didn’t bother much. Though you have a good alarm with the rooster crowing in the morning😁. Also the fishing is great. I caught a ton of decent size smallmouth and some rock bass. I would recommend this place and I look forward to coming here again.

Ben was very responsive, he was very helpful. Campsite was a great quiet spot without having a bunch of campers around you. All the hookups you need are there, fire-pit with firewood included. Will definitely be back a lot more.

Good place to camp. Has all the hook ups. Great and flexible host. The river side is over a road but the river and corn fields nearby provide a mood. Totally recommend. Id you have a long trailer, watch out when you enter the entrance road since it might hit the bottom. Less than 30 foot should be fine

Riverside RV Camper Site
This is a nice spot with some nice views. Very clean area with full hook ups and level lot. Things to keep in mind, the site is located between 2 homes and the driveway is bit steep for our 25ft travel trailer. We did drag along bottom, damaging our rear stabilizers when backing up the driveway.
There’s also a very active train route about less than a half mile away. While it’s quiet overall, the trains coming through day and night is something to get use to.
There’s plenty of space for your pup(s) to run around. Firewood for your nightly relaxation around the fire pit. There’s a nice picnic table too. It has everything you need for camping, when a break from traditional campground is needed.

Fantastic location. We booked this slot on a last minute whim and ended up deciding to do a 2 week trip here. Very private, hookups are obviously new and well-maintained. Trash can on site and the view is EXCELLENT. The spot is just steps from a launch into the river. Gravelled ground was level, which made set up a breeze.
We stumbled upon so many pet friendly great dining options too... This was more a foodie area than I would have guessed!
We have a pretty chill pup who has been enjoying watching the chickens wander around. They keep to themselves and provide a little entertainment watching them run around the coup.
There was surprisingly good reception for how remote we were. I have GoogleFi (T-Mobiles network) and I was usually at 3 or 4 out of 5 bars. No issues streaming movies on our little projector.
Definitely a gem booking. Highly recommend!

Riverside RV Camper Site
We truly enjoyed our stay at Ben’s site. The pad was big and level, making for easy set up. There was plenty of firewood. Our only trouble setting up was deciding if we wanted to face the lovely river or the great view of the mountains beyond the corn field. Our dogs got a kick out of the neighbor’s free-range chickens (put away at night). Communication was great: Ben was very helpful before and during the trip, making local recommendations (farmer’s market and restaurants, etc.) and answering any other questions we had. We had a nice time at the winery just down the road and took advantage of the nearby fire company selling fresh corn and bags of ice (very convenient). The train tracks beyond view but within ear shot added to the small-town farming community feel. We highly recommend this place – off the beaten path but very close to all the conveniences of the modern world.

Everything was set up so lovely and ready to go - it felt very welcoming!! It was a great level parking so set up was super easy! We used it as a travel stop over, but wished we had our kayaks as that would have been perfect on the river. There’s a nice winery close by that has live music and the closest town is big enough for any supply needs or a nice dinner out - so a longer stay would have been very very doable and fun! Would definitely recommend and would definitely camp there again!!
