Love this site! Eric and Vicki are wonderful hosts. The site was decorated for the fall season with pumpkins, mums, cornstalks, and haybales. Love the space to walk the dogs. Second time there and will return for sure. :)

Had a nice quiet overnight stop on my way south. The hosts were very responsive and kept in touch as I was running late. Eric came out and met me in the morning to see me off. A nice little spot to spend some time in PA if you are passing through.

I had a great experience with this camping site. Eric and his wife were very friendly. They provided snacks, fire wood and some fresh cut Amish corn. The full hook-ups worked great. Very clean, private land. DG is less than a half a mile away. Less ten 30 minutes away in any direction is something to do or some place to visit. We will definitely revisit in the future.

Rangers retreat was very nice camping spot. There was plenty of room. The hook ups were close, and easy to use.
The host was very friendly. Met us as soon as we pulled in. I would recommend this spot.

This was our first Hipcamp stay and they set the bar high! The area is beautiful and charming. Came with full hooks up, a picnic table, a fire ring, and a near-by dumpster. The hosts were amazing as well. Gave us a starter pack of firewood and even brought by fresh, local corn, which was so good. Even though it rained, we had such a good time. We'll be back!
Great place for full hookups! Many thanks to Eric and Vicky for the hospitality. The fireflies were magical. Side note: You do need 50’ total hose for water. Thanks again!

Just what I look for in a site.

The site was very easy to get to right off of Rt 30. Eric and Vicki happened to be outside when I arrived and Eric kindly guided me as I reversed into the RV site with full hookups. The view out my door (passenger side) was an open field..with trees surrounding, hiding any neighbors who may have been in the distance. It was perfect for me to set up my dog corral with my chair and chill. There was a picnic table available for use on a nice stone/paver platform. On the hookup side of my RV is their garage/home with equipment, but other than once, I heard nothing from over there and had no reason to be on that side of my RV once I was hooked up. There was a wide, mowed path leading to a tent sight I am guessing, but with no one there, it was a nice little loop where I walked my 4 furry travel companions. I could see another site with campers boondocking and tent camping through the trees, but I never heard them. From the word hello, I felt Vicki was an old friend I had not seen in years and truly enjoyed my conversations with her. I had a relaxing, productive (had to work) weekend, and left early Sunday. I will definitely return!

We hope whenever we visit that area of Pennsylvania there will be availability at Ranger's Retreat! Very lovely RV site with full hook ups! Vicki was very friendly, we did not meet Eric. Had a wonderful, peaceful time!
I needed a lay minute place to stay. Eric was very accommodating. Responded quickly to my questions. This space is awesome. Large private spaces. Also has fire wood available.

Eric and Vicki were extremely nice and accommodating. We arrived later than expected, and they were more than willing to meet us and show us around. The location was absolutely beautiful and had wonderful views. The sites weren't too close together, and overall it was a wonderful visit and extremely relaxing. We will definitely be staying here again if we are in the area

We had the loveliest time and the hosts Eric and Vicki are tremendous. She brought us the best ribs and macaroni salad and potato salad out of nowhere as they had extras! Kind and sweet. .
Land is gorgeous. Fabulous trails we explored w the dogs. We had a campfire and just relaxed for 2 nights w no cares other than wAtching the stars. We'll be back!
Beautiful property owned and operated by an amazing family. Eric and Vicki go above and beyond to make sure any campers: Tent, RV, camper van, etc. are well taken care of. You can find full 30/50amp hook ups on site, full water and sewage hook ups with easy access (and a heated water spigot for colder months) and full trash service. There are beautiful trails through the property for small hikes that lead to a small
river where we spent a lot of time. Foraging is plentiful and encouraged, from culinary mushrooms to berries and more. Our pets loved exploring the property and were able welcomed warmly with treats regularly by Vicki! Eric and his son keep the property clean and protected, we never felt anything less than fully safe while staying here.
The surrounding hiking trails, views, and attractions are worth the trip if you’ve never been to Somerset county. It was our first time and we found plenty to do and explore from farm stands to waterfalls and everything in between. With only 1.5hrs from Pittsburgh, it’s a great day trip to visit and explore as well. Local towns we loved include Ligonier (great active town center) and Somerset/Johnstown for medium city amenities and grocery shopping.
We cannot wait to come back and visit in the future. Anytime we are coming through the state it will be a must stop stay for us.

Went out to meet my parents who were ther for a few nights with their camper. The hosts were incredibly friendly and thoughtful, they got some pumpkins for my girls to carve and were extremely accommodating for us. The area is beautiful, private and a fantastic location to get into the laurel highlands. It was everything I look for when hipcamping. Highly recommend it and will definitely be back
We enjoyed staying at Eric's. We tent camped with our dog. The site had a firepit and picnic table. Eric has a large property that we were able to explore if we wanted to. He and his wife were very welcoming. It is located in a small town but there are attractions nearby like the Speedway and Filght 93 memorial. Thanks for your hospitality!

This was our second stay on Eric's property (it probably won't be our last!). The accommodations for our camper trailer are top notch. Eric and Vickie are the nicest people: communication with them is timely and they stop by with sweet little gifts, such as snacks as well as corn and tomatoes from local farmers. They even brought some treats for our dog. Vickie set up some beautiful autumn decorations on the site which we used for family photos. All in all, this was one of our best camping trips! Thanks, Eric and Vickie!

A very convenient spot with easy hook up. We were warmly welcomed by Eric and his son, who explained everything and exchanged contact details to be able to connect at any time, which we did not need.
Highly recommended.

Beautiful spot with some trails on the property. Super thoughtful and kind hosts. Highly recommend!!
Eric and Vicki are exceptional hosts. They met us on arrival and showed us all amenities. The full hookup site is perfectly level, clean and easily accessible. A 50 foot hose works for fresh water. There’s a fire pit. There’s also a picnic table under a roof with a fan and lights. We’ll be back!
Both Vicky and Eric, you’re so welcoming.they checked on us to make sure everything was OK. Perfect spot to just relax and unwind. We will definitely be back.
Eric was awesome as host. Quiet site with a doe, too. Very helpful to direct my first time backing up with a trailer in 50 plus years. Other folks were there, but spread out.
