Had a wonderful time at this stunning spot! Such a unique site with great amenities for a comfortable stay. The hot tub was worth the wait! Note that the farm is across from a hunting range so we heard some gunshots that may be jarring for some. Rugged terrain so wear sturdy shoes! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quite getaway :)

Site #2: Waterfall Hemlock Hideaway
We had an awesome time! Adam was super accommodating and moved us to site 2 since it was unbooked and we had full access to the outdoor tub - which was so cool btw! Beautiful views, and our pup had a blast splashing around the waterfall streams. Clean and easy bathroom, and beautiful walk arounds with fun features (zip line etc) to top it off. So thoughtfully put together! Thank you!
Really romantic place to be honestly, even though there was a lot of hiking up and down to the different parts of the site, it was a very peaceful and cool place to be, falling asleep to the waterfall and using the hot tub were the best part! Even though it took a while to heat up but the fun things in life you must work for. Definitely recommend and would love to come back!
Overall great camping grounds , me and my family loved the creek/waterfall, adam and his wife karen were super helpful ! , so much to explore and see.
We enjoyed a peaceful stay at campsite #2. We were in desperate need of some time to unplug and relax and this site delivered. Everything was easily located and well maintained. We crossed paths with Adam and enjoyed a friendly chat but the rest of our stay we had the privacy we were looking for. Thank you Adam and Karen for a wonderful weekend !

Great property for a family! Hot showers are lovely, and the tree house was too cute.
My boyfriend and I had a great weekend removed from society, in such a beautiful location. Having zero reception was a welcomed change. So serene, peaceful, and relaxing. My only criticism is that (as someone with a form of severe neuropathy in my right leg) I was not expecting such a challenging terrain to the camp site. The incline in some parts was difficult for me but wouldn't have been without my condition. Perhaps the hosts could consider expanding upon that description to better prepare people. Otherwise, it was fantastic, and I would recommend to friends and family who truly want to get away from everything for a few days. :)

Nice spot - felt private. Not a lot of sun in this spot so I wouldn’t recommend for colder days. The tub was the easiest kind to use that I’ve experienced which was nice. It still took a while to heat but you could enjoy the fire while it warmed up. There’s a lot of hills and it was very moist and slippery so I fell several times. Don’t plan to bring too much heavy stuff because of the short but steep and bumpy trek to the site. It was nice to have the platform off the ground and the large tent was setup which helped protect from the rain. There’s no flat space at all but everything was setup as well as it could be. The bathroom is very far and up a hill from this site but it was clean and easy to use.
Would recommended to the right camper who is looking for some solitude.
This site was better Than the pictures. Adam and the family were hospitable and the accommodations were exactly as described. My daughter and I spent a relaxing 3 nights over a campfire surrounded by woods and waterfalls.
We absolutely LOVED camping here…it was truly unreal. The sound of the waterfall was so relaxing. Everything was clean, directions were extremely clear, and the site was well taken care of. The hot tub is work, but completely worth it. Couldn’t get over how clean the outhouse was. Host was very friendly, responsive, gave updates before our trip, and whenever I had questions he answered promptly. You truly feel alone in the best way…you have privacy even if another camper is at the other site. We literally didn’t leave the two nights we were there and definitely want to come back! Highly recommend.

The campsite was really nice. We had the one that was further up the mountain which I believe is site number one. Adam and his wife were very nice hosts and hooked us up with everything we needed. The waterfalls will be lighter than normal in some seasons, but still a nice asset to the campsite. Be prepared to bring your stuff up to the campsite as it is a little bit of a walk but if Adam is available is happy to help bring your stuff up would recommend.
Such an amazing spot! It's hard to overstate how incredible this place is. Adam and Karen were wonderful hosts and have really put a lot of effort into the property. Highly recommended.
Adam and Karen's land is gorgeous. My partner and I had an amazing time with our dog staying at site #1. The waterfall directly next to the site was only a trickle when we stayed due to the weather, but Adam sent us a list of nearby waterfalls to look at that more than made up for it. It's definitely a steep climb uphill (nearly vertical in some places) but Adam was very helpful and hauled our things both up and down to our car in his atv. The tent was, thankfully, not filled with bugs living inside, which has been my experience in similar longstanding tents. The free firewood had enough for me to make 4 fires which was just enough for our stay. Everything was super well maintained. It was the perfect amount of privacy and support, quiet and help when you needed it. We'll definitely be returning!

Site #2: Waterfall Hemlock Hideaway
Perfect weekend getaway with own private mossy waterfalls and wood-fired bathtub in the forest. Couldn’t ask for more. Adam was a perfect host, always there to help with any questions (fire wood, local attractions, forest berries etc). Will def come back for more when the waterfalls have more flow. Dope!
We loved staying with Adam and Karen for our first Hipcamp experience My husband and I have been camping together for 24 years(tent and camper) and decided to upgrade to the ‘Glamping’ add on. Adam had everything set up exactly the way that we would have set it up for ourselves. It was picture perfect and we were able to use the wagon provided to bring what we brought up in one trip! We did run in to Adam later that day and had a wonderful conversation. He was extremely accommodating, answered our questions and also respected our time, privacy and space for the remainder of our stay. The outhouse and shower areas were clean and easily accessible. We would recommend site #2 for any couple looking to have a peaceful adventure together. Thanks so much Adam and Karen. We will definitely be back to relax and rejuvenate soon!

Site #1: Secluded Creekside Tent
Dreamy and dynamic property/ campground with trails, beautiful creek, and privacy- even a clean outhouse and hot shower if needed! Our hosts were super welcoming and very accommodating. We had some pretty intense weather and they made sure to alert us and make certain we were safe. Would love to camp here again. My friends and i had an amazing weekend at the property and surrounding town. Very much recommend to true nature lovers that look for a more serene and private campground. ! Thank you, Adam and Karen!
Adams property is absolutely gorgeous, one of the top sites I’ve found on this app. Adam was very accommodating and communicative and he makes you feel right at home. Can’t recommend this site enough!
Took my two sons (5 & 7 years old) camping for two nights over Father’s Day weekend, looking for a place that requires a hike into the campsite and felt isolated.
This was the perfect balance of being surrounded by nature far away from human hands and feeling safe and having help and accommodations nearby if necessary.
Adam was the perfect host, available to assist (he did on fact jump my car when my battery died) and answer questions, but not imposing and willing to disappear based on what we were looking for.
The site itself was well maintained, with a sturdy platform, a fire ring, and firewood available (first lot provided free). Access to easy jokes on site, and a bit more adventurous in the waterfall which was perfect for me and my boys.
Only word of caution is that many of the rocks in the waterfall area are very slippery when wet and there are some steep areas so children should be somewhat experienced or closely monitored.
Overall, was a perfect trip; host and site both highly recommended.

It was a great site! Uphill so be prepared to get your heart rate up getting to and from camp! We chose a cold and rainy weekend to visit but it was still perfect!

What a nice site! Exactly as described and nicely secluded and quiet. Tent was very spacious and clean. Plenty of firewood was available for purchase and the outhouse was spotless. Will definitely be planning a return visit…perhaps during warmer months to explore the nice creek flowing behind the site. Adam was also very responsive and easy to work with.

Site #1: Secluded Creekside Tent
This was such a lovely experience all around. Adam was very friendly and helpful. It is exactly as advertised, and the amenity efforts (e.g. precut wood, 5 G of water by the site, a propane heated shower and more!) were the exact things that only save you time and energy to enjoy the more relaxing parts of camping. With the stream alongside, it is such a fun and special spot!

Site #1: Secluded Creekside Tent
We had a great time at the campsite!
Beautiful creek. Quiet and very secluded.
The place was set up perfectly w dry wood and a nice setup for grilling. Also a torch to ignite and kindling. Our cooler fit great in the bearproof box and so did a lot of our other stuff. We appreciated the hammock being there and the tent was great. Roomy and clean. Easily fit a queen and two twin air mattresses and all our bags with room to spare. Bathroom was clean and nice, Wash sink was far from the site not as useful as we would have hoped but no big deal.
Adam and Karen were very nice and helped us get heavy items up to and back from the site. Some of the spots on the trail up are steep so pack light or ask the hosts for help getting up.
Once youre up the hill you wont really want to go back and forth
We chose a single site option because we have young kids and a puppy and we didn’t want to bother other campers. This was a perfectly secluded area with easy hiking for our littles. Adam was friendly and accommodating to our family. We definitely enjoyed ourselves.

My girlfriends and I had the best campy, elvin, woodland forest time on Adam’s property. It’s stunning! The forest is so friendly, there’s an incredible waterfall right by the tent, and the hosts themselves were so kind and welcoming. This spot is perfect for anyone wanting a get away that feels secluded but offers the amenities of a nearby town and hosts (if you need them—they are super responsive and helpful).
Upon arriving, the hosts were home to help us lug our stuff up the 5ish minute hike to the camp spot with an atv. That was a life saver for how much we packed. I do recommend you have some agility to be able get to the camp spot, especially carrying some of your stuff. It’s not a long way up but it’s a hike. At the top it’s well worth it for the privacy, we were never told we were being loud even though we danced all night around a campfire and howled at the moon.
The spot itself has everything you need. Spacious, cozy tent slept 4 of us comfortably, a locked case to put the cooler when sleeping or away, a table, a fire pit, and even a shower for after you go tubing on the Delaware! You can’t go wrong here. We will definitely be back again and again!!
Amazing camping spot, super beautiful, cozy and wonderful hosts! Adam and Karen are so kind and accommodating - they made our stay better than we could have imagined! We were visiting out of town so they lent us bedding and mattresses that were great. The site is situated right next to a serene creek that you can hear that lulls you gently to sleep. A short hike up a trail means you are surrounded by trees and nature rather than other people. The outdoor shower is so so nice with hot water. Thanks for making our stay so stellar!
We (2 adults 2 dogs) stayed four nights and really wished it could have been longer. It was a short hike uphill to the site and Adam was kind enough to bring our heavy items up with his ATV. The site was well shaded and very private. It was a comfort to know that Adam was just down below if we needed anything or had any issues but, we did not.
We packed our own tent (just in case-ya never know) but we were totally pleased with Adam’s set up. The tent was roomy, airy, high off the ground, durable and sturdy. There was a big rain, wind and hail storm while we were out and all was safe and dry in Adam’s tent. Other things to note at the site: there was a VERY handy truck-bed toolbox we used as a cupboard, a picnic table, nice size fire pit and wood storage racks. In addition, there is a really hot shower just down the path if that’s your preference. I enjoy being one with nature and had no problem creek bathing, YES, it’s that private! Adam also has a sink set up at the bottom of the trail for dishes and such. And a super plus was the trash bins near the parking area. There is a nice hiking loop. What was most spectacular, was the creek during and after the storm. Holy white water! The sounds & sights of the multiple waterfalls and cascades was amazing and soothing to fall asleep to. Hiking the creek was awesome. There were so many fascinating ledges, nooks and nice spots to cool off in. Perfect spot to relax,refresh,reflect and rejoice in all it’s beauty and serenity. Thx!!
