This was a perfect getaway with plenty space to setup a tent or hammock. It's also only 15 minutes away from a store if I forgot anything. Kate supplied plenty of split wood, picnic table, chair and bench. The view was amazing and I will definitely be back again!

This was a super secluded area! Tons of ground to explore. Kate was an amazing host making sure she was available for all of our questions, ensuring we had the best time. I would HIGHLY recommend if you're looking for a weekend "away from it all".

I took my family here over labor day weekend. We had the best time! You have the perfect view of the sunset and can see the river through the trees right from camp. The stars are absolutely breathtaking from the camp or a short walk into the clearing for a better view. Kate is attentive, knowledgeable and kind. We will absolutely be back.

The site was very well equipped, the site was beautiful, and Kate and her family were amazing and were so nice to take the time out of their day to talk to us about their farm. The adults, child, and dogs all enjoyed the location and the pond. I totally recommend this place!

The site was really cute and well maintained. The lake is adorable and our dogs loved swimming in it.
The animals are really cute and friendly.
It was pretty wet but that was mother nature’s fault.

Camping at the Gurnsey Farmstead was a wonderful escape from everyday life and the location is a tiny gem hidden in western Pennsylvania. The host (Kate) was extremely friendly and welcoming. She was more than happy to show us around her farm and introduce us to the numerous friendly farm animals. While we expected simply to camp and hike, the friendly goats, cats, chickens, bunnies, pigs, and geese stole a considerable amount of our attention - feeding time was particularly fun to watch/participate in.
There is plenty of ground to hike and explore and numerous bodies of water, one of which is a mineral laden and eerily yet beautiful blue (check out the pictures). The weekend we went was particularly cold, but in warmer months the larger pond is available for swimming.
My partner and I set up our tent in front of a small pond and enjoyed the wildlife, sunset, and a nice fire as the sun went down.
I highly recommend this location for small getaways, ESPECIALLY for families with children (the farm animals are super captivating). The host is very knowledgeable, amenable, and has a great sense of humor. 5 out of 5 stars.

My partner and I were a bit apprehensive of our stay (first timers!) but we found the Little Pond the perfect getaway. Kate was welcoming from the start, and gave us a small tour of her farm. This is an excellent spot for animal lovers - there are friendly goats, pigs, ducks, geese, baby bunnies (!), and of course cats. The spot set aside for campers is a secluded area near the farm (one gets there by a small pathway). We were able to set up right next to the pond, and so able to enjoy the site of the pond and the red-winged blackbirds that lived there. There was also the option to set up tent in a more wooded area, if ponds aren't your thing. We liked having privacy while also being near enough the farm to get to the animals easily - I think this would be the perfect spot for a family getaway because of this.
