Located just outside of Parker, PA and 25 minutes from I-80, our campsite is very accessible, yet still very remote. With 4 campsites on 75 acres, guests have ample privacy and space, with the freedom to roam this posted property that has no homes on it. Perched high above the Allegheny there are several spots to take in the wonderful views. There is also a waterfall with a 3’ deep pool below it. Great for splashing with kids or dogs, guests love exploring the creek bottom and making new discoveries. The more curious guests sometimes find the ruins of the original homestead, chimney and spring house that sit upstream. The property is teeming with wildlife. Birds and tree frogs will be the soundtrack of your visit, and often deer will be seen nosing along the outskirts of your site in the mornings and evenings. Turkey, bald eagles and even bear are occasionally spotted, so be prepared to secure your food and trash at night. For those coming to disconnect, you have found the right place. But if cell service is needed, you will have enough to get texts out and depending what site you booked, calls and internet as well. For those who seek an electrical outlet AND and EV charger, we have a site for you! We also have a site with a large canvas tent already set up for your convenience. Within a 15 minute drive of your campsite you can find The North Country Trail, Rails to Trails Trailheads and Boat Launches on the Allegheny River, Groceries, dining and beer.

Open Field Site, Stargazers Welcome

Awesome site!

Stayed here with my partners and my mom and it was great! The swimming hole was super close to this site and easily accessible. The cold water felt amazing! Site was big and open. Would definitely camp there again!

River Ridge

River Ridge Sanctuary in The Sky

After spending Labor Day weekend here, I feel like we leveled up in our camping experience. In that this spot is SO AMAZING, it almost feels like every other camping spot is now behind the sheer awesomeness this lookout has to offer. Aside from being incredibly private, the visual of watching how the day changes the valley below is unlike anything. We watched the sunrise and the fog roll in - then at night, watched as it sailed silently down the river like a giant ghost ship. We observed two bald eagles while enjoying our morning coffee, and listened to the Barred owl’s timeless question “who cooks for you?” around the fire at night. It’s quiet, it’s stunning, and there are so many things within the property to discover. The swimming hole is a freaking religious experience . Communication with Chris was easy, friendly, and prompt. I have absolutely nothing but good things to say about our stay here, and I am sure we’ll be returning. Thanks again Chris for sharing such a magical place with us.

Pine Canopy Site w/ Canvas Tent!

Great site for families

We stayed for 3 nights with our 3 children (3yo, 2yo, and 4 month old). The kids loved exploring and running in the woods. The tent was perfect for our family and very clean. We explored and hiked other parts of the land and everything was beautiful! Chris was very responsive and answered all the questions we had! We are looking forward to coming back!!

Open Field Site, Stargazers Welcome

Amazing star-lit sky!

It was a bit hard to find in the dark as we got in late, but when we arrived we were in awe at the beautiful stars! The next morning we woke up in an open field in the middle of the forest. Walked along a few trails and had a relaxing, refreshing morning!
