Peace &amp; Quiet by the River!

We absolutely loved our time here! Fly fishing is steps away in the river. Our 11 year old daughter caught a fish! The site itself is peaceful and spacious. Jenn and Susan are communicative and available to answer any questions. We will definitely be back!!

Amazing place, super quiet and in the middle of the nature. Also lots of things to do around if you’re willing to drive a little bit. Beautiful!

Little bit of Heaven

Tent · With pets ·

We stayed in site #1 by the river and it was HEAVEN! We can't wait to go back. The site is beautiful and private and serene--an hour on Saturday we had several people who passed by on the river, but the rest of the time we were blessedly alone. We loved the set up--everything that we needed but still very rustic. Susan and Jenn were lovely & responsive.

Excellent Site!

Tent ·

Beautiful campsite, right on the water. Tree covered area with total privacy. Has everything you could possibly need, including a hose station where you can wash dishes. I will mention though that you have to park your car at the top of a pretty steep hill and carry your stuff down. They have a wheelbarrow to help with that, but it's pretty grueling if you brought a lot of stuff. So maybe pack light and it's definitely worth it! Would absolutely stay there again!

Site 3 camping

Tent · With pets ·

My boys, dog and I had a wonderful time this past weekend on Susan’s Farm at site 3. Everything is beautifully marked out to each of the sites and a route to the river from site 3. The property is maintained and site 3 was just arranged perfectly. We fished the river and the large pond. Both of my boys caught their first fish with many after that this weekend. The views were phenomenal, my youngest pointed out a beautiful sunset Friday and the Moon nearly full on Saturday was awesome when it broke through the cloud coverage. Other than some soggy rain which we faired okay was no match for the great time we had on Susan’s Farm. Also Jenn was fantastic with being so attentive during our stay. It was the peace and quiet we all need/needed!

Site 1 (Lean-to)

Tent · With kids ·

Great spot on little river. Path to site is steep but they provide double wheeled whellbarrow. Site also has plenty of seating and tables so we didnt have to haul as much down. Lean-to came in handy with pesky rain. Gravity fed wash station was also handy. Site was well thought out and maintained, but still natural. We split our time by the river and exploring the tree farm, and both have great views. Tubed the river with my son and caught some smallmouth bass. We also fished the pond that has big sunnies and good size laremouth bass. Hosts were very accomadating and easy to work with. I would reccomend as long you dont mind the short but steep incline to camp site.

Best Stay on Hipcamp!

Tent · Group trip ·

I've stayed at multiple sites at this location over the years and the experience and campsites are always wonderful. The campsites are always fully prepared with everything needed, fire wood, potable water and clean outhouse facilities. Clear texts directions from the owner Susan and Manager Jenn who genuinely want you to enjoy your stay. The Sunsets and Star at Site 3 are amazing. even though there are three campsites on the property you feel like the whole place is to yourselves. The pond is full of bass and the largest bluegills Ive ever caught, great to bring young fisherman. Your in the Shadow of Hawk Mountain for fantastic Hiking and Bird watching. My favorite site I've ever been on Hipcamp.

We loved our stay, it was everything it was supposed to be peaceful and quiet. It is a very nice property that is clean and well taken care of, our site has plenty of space and is set up well with the wash sink, out house with a bucket (it really wasn't that bad) fire pit with cooking grates and the firewood that we purchased was delivered to our site and was seasoned and burned great. The site is high enough off the river bank that you dont need to worry about flooding but is just a short walk down the steps they have cut into the river bank. We caught fish in the river and also in the pond that is on the property. The host is very nice and is great with communication. Honestly it was everything we hoped it would be.

The site was gorgeous and very private. The only downside was the toilet situation, so be aware. Plenty of seating around the fire pit, an outdoor kitchen area and chairs overlooking the river.

Susan’s camp site by the water was perfect. Great space for a big group or family. Quiet and peaceful. The site had enough seating for us all so did not need to bring our camp chairs. The outhouse was easy to use and self explanatory and the only thing that was not ideal, was just getting our stuff from our car to the site since we had to walk up and down the hill. Overall, great experience and site. My family and I will be back.

Tremendous site

Tent · With pets ·

This place is wonderful! The directions are very thorough and everything is set up so beautifully. We stayed at campsite #3, and we saw the almost moon rise over Hawk mountain 2 nights in a row. Stunning. And the sunsets were just glorious. I'm excited to revisit and try site #1 or #2, as they are both nestled near the river. So cool. One note: this site is dog friendly, which is just great. BUT the Hawk Mountain Conservancy trails are NOT. Plenty to do otherwise, though. Beautiful part of the world, and the hosts are fantastic. Definitely returning!

Amazing Campsite

Susan’s campsites, particularly site two, is out of this world. It sits right on the river for easy access to fish or swim. The campsite was thoughtfully set-up and the communication from both Susan and Jen was outstanding. I will absolutely be going back.

A Winner Near Hawk Mountain

Tent ·

Susan's Site 3 atop her farm is easily one of the best camping experiences we've ever had. So much was provided already including picnic table, chairs lovely wood benches, top-notch fire wood and kindling, a fire pole, a variety of grates, a dish washing area, sponge and soap plus the water to wash with. the privy, while low tech, was well equipped with enough supplies, bug spray a fire blanket and a light. The views from the site cannot be overstated. It was beautiful and the privet was blooming as a bonus. We thought the occasional train was very atmospheric. We did see sites 1 & 2 by the river but didn't intrude on them and they also look great. Susan and Jenn were great communicators and we enjoyed every minute of the trip.

Trip #2 at Susan's place! We love it here. It's peaceful and beautiful. Beautiful walking paths, well stocked pond and a lovely river to fish and wade in. The site itself has everything you could need to make your camping experience enjoyable. Trip #3 is already booked and we can't wait to be back! Thank you Susan for a memorable trip!

We absolutely loved camping here! Susan and Jen were very helpful and welcoming. Check in was super easy and flawless. Fortunately, we had the entire property to ourselves. But even if we didn’t the sites were far from each other and super private. This place is a hidden gem and I highly recommend it.

Fantastic stay! The farm is amazing and site #3 was beautiful. We had the perfect weekend. Host was very friendly and the communication was great! We felt very welcome. Hawk Mountain Sanctuary is just a few minutes away and the site itself is nicely set up, very quiet and private with a picturesque view of the mountain. Highly recommend! We are already looking forward to returning.

Dog Gone was a beautiful secluded site with very nice amenities . Including a clean and usable out house , wash station , prep table , and a very nice fire ring set up . There is a steep hill to navigate to get your gear in and out. It would be nice if the hill was graded and stoned so you could at least get a pick up in and out for transporting gear. My son and I managed but it was a lot of work to pack out . Other than that Susan really does a nice job making your stay very enjoyable. Thank You Susan and Jen

Wonderful little spot!

Tent ·

This is our second year staying at Susan's Christmas Tree Farm campsite! and we'll be back again! I think going late October almost insures you'll have the whole place to yourself which makes for a really peaceful and relaxing stay... probably a little too cold for some but I love the cold! Campsite is always prepared and clean, stocked with your (pre-purchased) firewood, water and a sink to clean dishes and a cool little port-a-potty! The view of Hawk Mountain is incredible especially with a lit night sky and the moon! last year we hiked Hawk Mountain and this year we hiked a bit of the Appalachian Trail only couple miles form the campsite. My favorite local place for beers and a burger is McKeansburg Hotel and Tavern great bartender, service and friendly local hangout! I highly recommend this place!

Incredible

Tent ·

Visited late October. Beautiful! We did site 3, which was perfect as we bring a lot of gear for comfort and could unload right from our truck. It's adjacent to a small grove of trees so you do have some cover, but you are more exposed than many/most sites. Despite that, you still feel like you have all the privacy in the world, which is incredible. Firewood, eggs and water were waiting for us when we arrived. Views of Hawk Mountain were unreal both in the slight haze of the morning and the golden glow of sunset. Stars were insane. Firepit was large and the wood was some of the best firewood I've ever burned. Generous with the kindling so getting the fire started was easy and it burned hot and slow. Finding our site was simple enough, and communication with Jenn was excellent. There is a freight train that comes by at random intervals, but I thought it was actually kind of cool. Overall an awesome and unique experience and my wife and I definitely want to come back and bring some friends with us to share it with.

Sarah and Jenn were SO accommodating of my late arrival and excellent directions were given so I found my site just fine even in the dark. The site was beautiful, great view of Hawk Mountain, just as described. Loved how close the site was to the Hawk Mountain Sanctuary; only five minutes’ drive! My partner and I did lots of hiking, geocaching, and birdwatching there during our stay :) The river was easily accessible from the high site and so peaceful to explore, especially with all the fall foliage, I want to come back and stay riverfront next time! Check out process was smooth and simple, thanks again to Mr. Mike for coming out to jump my car!
