Camp is on 50 acres with a pink marked trail to Red Bank Creek on the western border and back up through a hemlock forest along south border. A small stream runs through the property and forms a rocky delta in Red Bank Creek. All camp sites are on the eastern border and close to the main road to access property. Hike, enjoy the sound of the stream tickling through property, stargaze, or rest, watch nature's critters, read or just relax in a hammock. No hunting on property but fishing permitted along "river" aka Red Bank Creek. Please keep fires in firepit and noise levels low. Set up to be most natural, minimal mowing, and sites meant to be more private. We let you know if you have others on property. No running water or flush toilets on sites unless in your self-contained camper. A compost loo provided. Lots of kindling can be easily gathered for a fire. Consider ordering some ahead of time if it has been raining though. There is a tarp and a wheelbarrow to collect logs and kindling and move to your site.

RV/tent site · Sleeps 16 · Vehicles under 18 ft
Open gate by sliding bar, please close behind you and lock. Your site is the second tent site. Drive in, turn left and park at your own camp.  There is a firepit. A blue tarp may cover firewood. It can also be used to drag firewood. My cohost can usually sell you  eggs as well as firewood if you want some without gathering.  Enjoy the shade of this maple grove in summer. There is portable tent loo.  You are only three miles to town and the beginning of 50 mile long, Red Bank Creek bike trail or waterway, which both go to the Allegheny River.  Bring your own bikes and canoes, rafts, or kayaks.  We have maps for rail trail, just ask me or my cohost. You can start trails across from Giant Eagle in Brookville and take kayak or tube out 6 miles down in Summerville at Moore Road or further down in New Bethlehem. Tubing or kayaking is nice on Red Bank Creek, put in off White Street (across from large stone Methodist Church) take out in Summerville for a 6 mile paddle. May be too shallow July/August for boats but a rubber raft is very relaxing. You can hike the pink loop on the largest portion of the property through forest and stream down to Red Bank Creek. It takes about an hour or two to do loop if you just hike and don't hang out at "river". Just follow the pink dots to river and go out on delta from our stream into river to turn continue to follow pink arrow  on other side of our property's stream. The pink dot trail will bring you back onto inner road at Turtle Rock, near campsites. If you just want to lay in the hammock and read or sit in the shade you can do that too. Wildlife watching is always great. Use any dead downed wood for fire.  camp stoves recommended. Fires must be contained in firebox. If you want to bring a hatchet or bow saw or axe for splitting your wood that would be good. We have tools if you don't, just ask Judy my cohost. Do not leave out in rain or in woods. Please have pets and selves wear blaze orange during hunting season even though we do not say hunting is allowed.

RV/tent site · Sleeps 20 · Vehicles under 34 ft
 Open gate and drive directly into your tent site on the right, a short distance in on our private drive. This site can be for one or a group. may prefer to car camp here, that is fine.  Most open site but great view of stars at night. Four camp sites are all on eastern portion of property and all sites have privacy from others on this upper edge of 50+ acres. Breathe in fresh air, get out of blank city air. There is an octagon picnic table, stone firepit, and a composting loo.  As you walk from east to west on property it gets shadier and cooler. Please hike my pink trail. Plan an hour and a half. It will take you down hill on a wide trail to Red Bank Creek then left along river edge then up through a hemlock forest back to top of trail near campsites.  You can hike, bike or kayak the Red Bank Creek trails to the Allegheny River beginning in Brookville for 6 to 50 miles on the Red Bank Creek rail trails. We are in "The Wilds" of Pa. with many state parks/forest and national forests as well. Have children check out Punxsutawney groundhog and rail trail there. They can also gather plentiful kindling from trees self pruning. RBC aka "river" kids can lead following pink dots. Kids will enjoy 1/2 way mark to play in creek, fish, or catch crayfish, then follow pink dots to right and up thru hemlock forest. We will let you know if any other guests are on the property.  If you want to come earlier or come later in day, ask us. We try to be flexible. Go directly to your site. Just give us an ETA so we can check in with you and make sure you are all set. Please follow neighbor's posted signs and stay on our property. Always open and close gate behind you and relock.  Four sites total on property, Rustic Cabin; Outdoor Adventurer Tent Site,  Meadow and Boondock at Sandy Ledges. Thanks. There is a hammock along the stream that flows down our property to RBC.

Vehicle site · Sleeps 10 · Vehicles under 40 ft
This site is for a self contained vehicle to stop for a stay off Rt. 80. It is the quietest and most private of the sites. It is the site farthest from main road into the Camp. If you want to take a hike follow the pink trail to "river" aka Red Bank Creek, then south along creek bank and back up through hemlock forest. Good way to run a dog before loading into vehicle again.  We are 3 miles from the beginning of the Red Bank Creek bike and canoe trail which is 50 miles long. Open the bar gate and drive to your site.  Lock it behind you. You will pass two camp sites but do not see other campers once in your site. Private with good sky view of stars at night.   Stay longer and enjoy wildlife, kayak, bike, or hike or x-country ski on Red Bank Creek trail 50 miles long to the Allegheny River. Come back to your home on wheels at night.  Refuel and use dump site in town before you get on highway (by Denny's). Restock groceries at Mike's Supermarket (nice deli and baked goods) or Giant Eagle on way out of town.  Enjoy elbow room and quiet and full sky view at night.  We will let you know if any other guests are staying somewhere else on the property.    Hope you have time to take an hour or so to do the pink loop trail around the property. It goes down to Red Bank Creek aka the "river" cross the little stream on property to your left above river, then continue up the pink dot trail through the hemlock forest, you will come out onto inner road near your site.  At this site we do not provide water or hookups.  How many persons your self contained vehicle contains is included for $20 a night.

Rustic Cabin

93%
(76)
Earth house · Sleeps 5
Rustic cabin is camping with 4 walls and door.  It has a loft for sleeping. It is on 50 acres.  Great for outdoors people who want to bicycle, hike, snowshoe, and kayak days on Red Bank Creek trails or National Forest.. The acreage is beautiful and quite private. We will let you know if anyone else is on the property during your stay.  Dogs love it too.  The cabin is dark and conducive to " early to bed and early to rise" active explorers. Heat water on wood stove or propane single burner. The heat from woodstove goes up to loft area.  In summer we cook over outdoor firepit to keep additional heat from going upstairs. Avoid traipsing to the toilet outside in middle of night, compost loo is downstairs. No flush to wake anyone, just cover with sawdust provided. The Red Bank trails begin in Brookville 3 miles away and go 50 miles to the Allegheny River. Or do our 1 hour pink marked hike loop on the property. Be aware for winter camping, floor of cabin is concrete and often damp, therefore sleep up in loft.  This site is best for a couple or small family with older children. Open loft to concrete below not good for toddlers and young ones. Small firepit next to picnic table outside along a stream which may be gushing or a trickle depending on weather and time of year. The downstairs of cabin is cool on hottest day due to sandstone walls and in winter naturally somewhat warmer than outside.  I have a cohost who is not intrusive who helps greet you when I am not available.  She sells fresh eggs if you'd like some. The duck eggs are best. An axe, bow saw, and a single log splitter available for your use. Spring next to cabin did not pass bacterial testing. If used boil, only for washing. Potable water provided in thermos. Sheets and towels not provided.

Cabin · Sleeps 2
This site is perfect for one person or couple. No drippy tent to fold up if you get some precipitation. Inside there is a futon which is quite comfortable. The shed sits of a platform. There is a battery powered lamp inside.  I would use a headlamp to read by at night as it isn't a bright lamp. There is a pot to heat water in, a small stove, a plastic poncho if raining, aluminum foil, and a solar shower bag. I envisioned this mostly as a winter overnight stay. There is a propane heater for winter. Liable to heat up a lot in summer but great for a rainy day.  You are on eastern end of a 50 acre property. When I pulled up I saw a fawn and later a family of turkey.  Sorry no hunting permitted. Hike the inner road west (your driveway), then follow pink dots to Red Bank Creek and back through hemlock forest. It is about 1- 1/2 hour hike.  It will be beautiful in fall from tiny deck. I have a solo stove that you can cook over. May use campfire ring at Meadow if no guests are there camping. Please cover solo stove from rain and do not have fire go higher than rim.

Boondock at Sandstone Ledges
We enjoyed a peaceful, 3 nights at the boondocking site beginning of October. If getting away & immersion in nature but near conveninences is attractive you have found the spot. It's easy access from Rt 80. If you have a low rear clearance on your rig don't take the "no truck" route down Madison Avenues steep hill, continue on Rt 322. Our map apps using the street address came up as Corsica & that worked. GPS had destination beyond the entrance so keep an eye out in advance for the Hipcamp sign. The gate is not a typical swing gate. It's a "piston"(can't find proper name) gate that is moderately hard to slide open. Be prepared to have some physical capability to enter the site. It is a great feature to add security. Lock worked easily. When you enter the "gate" there are signs not far from gate that were confusing to us. Arrows appear to be opposite of the correct way to enter according to hip camp directions for boondocing camp. We ignored that sign & followed the directions from app & we were successful. The road back to site is not bad at all. Our 24' shuttle rv conversion with bumper basket didn't scrap or have any issues. Trail to the stream thats indicated in description, is off of road between boondock site & adventure camp & marked w a tire with a utility flag. Site has some very minimal road noise. Large opening that was great for solar even in fall. The aroma of sweet grass permeated the air & we enjoyed the bird sounds. We appreciated & consider the lack

I have been staying at various HipCamp spots while driving across the country and this one is unique (in a good way)! The property is beautiful and the cabin is right next to the road so very easy to find/access. I enjoyed having both the fireplace and the composting toilet :). I would stay here again.

Boondock at Sandstone Ledges
We just got back from a wonderful extended weekend boondocking in our 34' travel trailer. The property felt like a true escape into the woods, but still easily accessible from the main road. The driveway leading up to the site was a little tight for a travel trailer, with some vegetation hitting the trailer while moving (not anything that would cause damage). We did experience limited cell service, but it was much needed to truly escape. Being able to keep our dogs off leash was also a huge benefit of camping on the property. The hiking trail was very peaceful and well marked. The night sky was very clear and perfect for stargazing and even being able to see the milky way. We cannot wait to visit again for our next escape into nature

Outdoor Adventurer Camp Site
Tent camped at the adventurer spot and it was spacious and quiet. Even the second night other campers came to the homestead we could see nor hear them which is our main factors for camping. The other host checked in on us and was nice to talk to. The pink marked trail led to a gorgeous wide creek area. Only suggestion would be to mark trees in the way back as the end of the trail does get into the woods and can be a bit of an adventure trying to find the way back to the wide trail. Would recommend again and can't wait to stay at the cabin next time!

Perfect simple space for a campfire and some quiet time. The co-host Judy made sure everything was okay. There is a tent campsite area nearby, but no one was there so I had a wonderful wooded oasis all to myself.

It is a shed
Mimi Shed
Who ever Mimi is, she’s got a nice shed! It is exactly what you would expect a shed in the woods to be. It is unfinished in the inside but comes with basic camping goods like stoves, some pans, fire pit, and some water. We luckily did bring our own lantern since the indoor lighting is not super bright. Nothing fancy, but a step up from a tent for sure! We arrived late at night which made finding the shed a little more difficult. I think a few little outdoor lights could help quite a bit! By the way, if you hear screaming through the woods close by, it’s just the goats.

Outdoor Adventurer Camp Site
Overall a nice little spot, private, good location. A few things gave us trouble, the lock worked but we really had to fight it—getting in and out. This was specifically stressful because it was after a long day and there isn’t any cell service there. We drove back to town and tried to contact the host but weren’t able to get ahold of her until the next day, luckily we went back and tried one more time and were able to get in. Outside of this the spot could use a tidy up, but we also booked last minute—honestly I think some of our troubles were really just last minute booking problems. Like I said, good spot, good price.

Location was secluded and relatively quiet. You can hear some ocassional traffic noise, but it's not a busy road by any means. We were a short drive from historic Brookville and the Redbank Valley bike trail as well as the creek. Lots of woods to explore although the trail blazes were faded, sporadic and only visable going one direction we were able (the dogs and I) to get most of the loop. We did need to back track as the creek was too high from all the rainfall to safely walk along and cross the stream. We saw no one else which above all was the best!

Owner blaming gunshots on our group
Tent · Group trip ·
The Meadow
Unfortunately, my experience was not great. The owner did not communicate very well before hand, responding very sparingly. The amenities were nice and perfectly fine. An associate of the owner even came out to check on us. It was later around 7pm when we started hearing gun shots in the distance, which for PA, is very normal. But then after it got dark, around 9:30, at least 5 rapid consecutive gun shots rang out within a quarter to half a mile of our campsite. We contacted the owner, but she ended up deciding to blame our group instead. We decided for our own safety to leave for a hotel, and filed a police report. I've tried to contact the owner about the situation, but they have not been very helpful. Overall, the owner has not been a very kind person.

Not Rustic . Very Rough !
Rustic Cabin
Let me start off by saying that I have camped in rustic cabins before. I am not a glamping girl !! I would not describe this as rustic. It has so much potential. It's a shame that it looks the way it does inside. Lots of extra items lying around. Looked like a catch all. Bring good lightning, you will need it. Tables were dirty and mice droppings all over the beds, so that was not an option for me to sleep in one of those beds. We ended up sleeping on the cold ground in front of the wood burner which didn't really put off too much heat because it doesn't have a blower because there isn't any electricity. We had a heater buddy fortunately. The wooden table was falling apart, almost collapsed on us when we tried to move it a little bit. The funny thing was there was a brand new table in a cardboard box leaning against the wall. Nobody took the time to open up the box and put the table up and take that old junkie table out !! It's definitely being neglected. It's unfortunate because it could really be a cool place. The property was nice. The trail was nice. The creek in the front was nice. After we booked and got the confirmation from hip camp I never heard from anybody. I assumed everything was okay and when we showed up, the door was locked. We were allowed to check in at 1:00 p.m. and we arrived at 3:00 and the door was still unlocked. No reception so I had to drive to get reception to call the host to get the co-host to come and open the door !!

Less than a day into our visit we decided we will absolutely be back! It was quiet and super private but our 4 kids had no problem keeping themselves occupied. The walk to the river was simple and gorgeous, about 3/4 mile with a clearly marked trail. Our host also brought us some fresh eggs and went out of her way to give the kids a fun farm animal experience. Memories were made and we can't wait to return

Thanks for a fantastic stay! Loved the location and traffic was sparse - went on a 40 minute walk in the surrounding area without seeing one car. The proximity to town and some local activities couldn't be beat! Can't say enough good things about the cabin and lovely host! The creek was fun to play in and so pretty with the sunlight coming through the canopy. For future guests: I wasn't sure what was included in the cabin and could have easily packed half the "stuff" as far as cooking supplies, camp chairs, bedding, camp shower etc. Very well equipped! Tried leaving a few supplies behind in the drawers that we brought and didn't use since we benefitted from someone's previous donation of ketchup packets :)
