I stayed at Primitive site 2. Nice secluded spot.
The owners were very nice and checked in to see how things were going. I enjoyed my stay and got some much needed time away. Thanks Glen and Bernadette.

Lovely site! Glen and Bernadette are welcoming hosts and very responsive. We had six campers during our weekend and fit well within the site.

The Lookout Site 1
Well thought out private camping site very close to the Appalachian Trail. Took a great 6 mile hike north on the trail to spectacular lookout. Hosts stop by to say hello. Had a very nice chat otherwise very private and excellent location. Easy access easy set up highly recommended!

Primitive site 2
Very secluded & easy to find. The covered trees protected us from the wind. It is right off a main highway so do expect road noise but overall a great stay.

The Lookout Site 1
I've stayed at the Lookout twice now, and I absolutely love this site. It's a great site, and its location close to the Appalachian trail and the Thunderhead Lodge is perfect. Would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely love taking our Jeep to campsite two. It’s the last site down on the trail and it feels very secluded. We’ve been there during the summer and winter. We enjoy the winter views with all the leaves off the trees. The site includes fire pit, chairs and picnic table. Would definitely recommend.

Glen & Bernadette were very friendly and helpful with responses and questions about the area. The site was nicely maintained and had a campfire, grill pit w grate, picnic table and extra chairs and a flat site for a tent. The road is close by but up a very steep hill so tough for dogs or kids to wander up it … only small drawback being that you can hear cars going by but few at night and it’s because it’s at the top of the hill for a great view of the valley, like being on a mountain top … hence “The Lookout”.
So great hosts and spot just as advertised, thanks guys!

Primitive site 2
The site is private and hidden from sight, but you would not believe how much road noise impacts the experience. I knew there would be some from other reviews... but really, truly, it's quite loud!
Also, the weather was completely disconnected from the weather at "New Tripoli." We got non stop 24/hrs of downpouring rain while the weather reports said there was no rain happening at all. There was not a moment of break in the rain the entire time we stayed. It must be in a microclimate of its own or something, and I know the weather isn't the host's fault, but genuinely it does impact how I view the site. It can downpour endlessly here with nothing on the forecast and nothing in the reports as it's happening. (For clarification, there was no old hurricane effecting us, etc.)
And while we were there, we had no view whatsoever. We couldn't see 50 yards through the rain and fog! This site, without the view, is not great. Can't go to the lake either in these conditions. And there is not much else on the site to do if weather isn't great, though the road noise drones on Again can't blame the hosts, but not every campsite loses so much by losing a view. And you might not know ahead of time.

Great site. Site 2 sits a bit farther off the road. Offered amazing views. Clean site and boasts were great. Will stay there again!

The pros:
Greeted by the owners upon arrival and they have a very warm and welcoming disposition! Can’t imagine that finding your site could be any easier, too! We were on Site 1 and it was lovely. There were some chairs, two tables, a hammock, and a fire pit. You pick up firewood right at the beginning of the road and go on from there. We didn’t use the showers, but there is a porta potty in case you’re looking for a little private pee.
Also close to some great hikes and close enough to civilization for any level of camper!
The cons:
The highway was RIGHT there. The other reviews said it didn’t bother them and maybe it’s based on which campsite you are staying at, but would not recommend Site 1 if you are trying to get away from the highway. We thought it would die down, but I woke up multiple times during the night and just listened to the sound of trucks going by. This also means that turning into the campsite was slightly daunting as everyone is going highway speed, but that’s doable for most people.

Glen and Bern are amazing people! Like, really, really great. The campsite (Primitve Site 2) had plenty of space to set up tents or hammocks. We had three hammocks and a tent set up at one point. Plenty of space for our three cars. The site was perfectly equipped with a large picnic table with plenty of seating, chairs for lounging, a warming fire pit, and a big ol’ fire pit with grill top. The AT is within 20 meters. A restaurant around 60 walkable meters. While the site is close to the road, it was still really quiet at night. It’s a nice campsite located in a very nice location in PA. Definitely hike the 3 miles out to Knife’s Edge and come back to the heated outdoor showers near the backpackers tent site. Simple and relaxing with amazing hosts. We’re grateful for the stay.

Primitive site 2
Overall, site 2 was a good campsite. Very private and we couldn’t hear the family in site 1. A few minor issues were the fact that there was glass all over the path from site 1 up to the gate, which reading other reviews, it has been there for awhile with no reasoning for it. Also, yes, there is wood there to buy, but it looked like they took fallen trees and cut into small pieces, not true, large pieces of firewood. The outdoor shower was a plus, but the porta potty was at site 1, so if you’re at site 2, you have to walk through site 1 to get there, which isn’t very courteous for those at site 1. Lastly, when booking, the description did not say the lookout was a shared lookout, but I see now that it has been updated. There is also a small hostel on the site for hikers.

We loved camping on Geln and Bern's land! The site was very spacious with room for a hamack tent, 6 person tent and a mini van. The glass wasn't a bother, the pieces weren't sharp and it was contained to one area of the site, the close vacinity to the road was also not as disturbing as we inticapated especially at night when traffic calmed . We loved the quick access to the Appalachian trail and the views from the lookout are bueatiful!

The Lookout Site 1
The site was great! It was close to the Appalachian trail which was an awesome hike and a short drive from other attractions (Bear Rock Junction, Leaser Lake, etc…) Firewood was close by to the site and reasonably priced. There was a working restroom close to the site also which was great. Despite being close to the highway the site felt very private. Bernadette was a great host. She gave us great tips about where to go hiking and exploring when she greeted us. I recommend this site.

It was good.
Things to improve are:
- Clarify that the clear/amazing view is not in-front campsite number 2.
- The portable toilet is full of spiders and can’t be used. Even in the actual seat is cover in webs.

The site was very nice, the view was beautiful but I didn’t realize you had to walk up to it or that it was on such a busy road, but the site was nice and had lots of chairs and tables and a lot of room, my only complaint was the amount of glass all over the ground.
