Riverside camp

The address provided was no help. It was only when we turned on the satellite layer in Google Maps that we could see an access road in the general area of the address. (Look for purple paint on poles/trees as you descend to the RR tracks.) YES, you ignore the No Trespassing signs & drive ACROSS the RR tracks and then alongside the tracks themselves for a couple hundred yards, passing another camp, before finally seeing the Hipcamp sign. Once there, it was a wonderful & private site with 5G (Verizon), electric (recharged our EV overnight), a new bathhouse w/toilet & sink, an outside spigot, & a covered patio with the nicest picnic table we've see at a campsite, as well as 2 comfy benches to admire the river view (fly fisherman brought a total zen feel to the place) and patio lights if you prefer those to fireflies. (We didn't.) Alas, trains went by on tracks < 100' away pretty much every hour, including all through the night, & shattered that zen. The horns were the most disruptive if they were coming from the direction of I-70 (also noisy, but in the distance) because it meant the horn blew EXACTLY as they passed the camp). After 6 days at the camp, I'm still sensitive to train horns. It bothered Hubby less, but he can sleep through anything. We used the campsite as our base to explore Ohiopyle State Park, Fallingwater, & the GAP trail. We recommend Dale’s Place in Smithton (craft beer & cool ladies’ as bonus) if you want to take a break from camp cooking.

Second visit to this spot. Price is right and despite the train and nearby I70, its still very peaceful and unique. There's plenty of space for whatever your setup requires. 2 adults and a dog were able to relax a bit and enjoy the view. Close to Smithton Beach and Cedar Creek Park, as well as kayaking and the GAP Trail.

I loved the solitude and peacefulness (minus the train) of the site. It had a very remote feeling but wasn’t far from town or highway. It was great the site had electric. The site also had a shed converted to a bathroom. However the outside water tank was never filled for our stay. River access is not existent but we had to fill up a 5 gallon bucket from the river the best we could to be able to flush the toilet. The bank is steep, muddy and all vegetation. Other than this minor detail we had a great time there.
