All to yourself

99% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

Let your children and dogs roam free without a leash. This property is remote and private. There are no neighbors nearby. This location is; twenty minutes north of I-76 Turnpike Willow Hill Exit forty-five minutes from Raystown Lake one hour and thirty minutes north of Gettysburg one hour and thirty minutes south of PSU three hours east of Pittsburgh three hours west of Philadelphia five hours west of NYC There is some cell service, but it is limited. Can you hear me now? Be sure to save site information on your phone before you leave, in case you lose cell-service. This is not Alaska, but it is not a KOA campground, either. We recommend you print of bring a paper map. Your GPS will not bring you to the exact driveway location. You need to be personally observant. This is the top of a mountain ridge. The access lane is steep, rocky, and has water erosion ditches you must drive over. Do not attempt this if you have a low profile car or a new/fragile camper. 4WD/AWD is highly recommended. Low profile and fancy cars are not recommended. This camping site is for those who want to live ruggedly like Lewis Clark. To see the water ditches you must drive over, go to YouTube and search "Wilbur's Shed - Blairs Mills", and it is the account of a cat with a white face. This location is in a mix of farmland and mountain Appalachia. You will see common species such as chipmunks, squirrels turkey and deer. Many bird species. There are also porcupines, skunks, and black snakes around. You may also see black bear - it is rare, but possible. You are visiting wildlife species in their natural habitat. Please be self-aware of your own level comfort with wildlife. Once again, this is not an RVs park where you will socialize with a hundred other campers. This is primitive and isolated. This is an ideal camping spot if you want to escape from people. Nearby is the Tuscarora Creek which is excellent for trout fishing. The Tuscarora has a small but lovely window for kayaking from mid-March through the end of May. Please contact the host if you would like help to plan some paddle logistics. Rental through Hipcamp does not include hunting or the use of firearms, nor the use of dirt bikes and ATVs.When my father died in 2020 I removed this shed before we sold my childhood home. It measures 8' x 10' and you may use as you please. It has two 50amp outlets, one 30amp outlet, and normal 110 house outlets too. This is the top of a mountain ridge. The access lane is steep, rocky and has water erosion ditches you must drive over. Do not attempt this if you have a low profile car or a fragile camper. To see the water ditches you must drive over, go to Youtube and search "Wilbur's Shed - Blairs Mills", it is the account with a white cat face. For your own benefit, please arrive in the day time with sunlight. Make sure you have looked at a map ahead of time. There are dead zones for cell service here, and GPS frequently fails to find the site. Free campfire wood; you may use anything on the ground. A propane grill is provided at no extra charge, plastic containers filled with drinkable well water - although there may be some forest dirt particles. A porta-potti is on-site, too. You will not have to talk to anyone, but bring all that you need because there are no stores nearby. There is a clear night sky east and south for astronomy. You may walk and explore freely as long as you do not cross the well-painted white property lines. Twenty acres is tall forest, thirty acres is newly logged regrowth brush, and ten acres is crop field. Rental through Hipcamp does not include hunting or the use of firearms, nor the use of dirt bikes and ATVs. No consent is given to such activities, and nor is consent implied. People enjoy seeing wildlife in a relaxed state, and your payment to this campsite contributes to maintaining a wildlife conservation area. Do not inquire about hunting or driving dirt bikes/ATVs - The answer is NO.

Rig suitability

Vehicles under 50 feet allowed

This camping site is for those who want to live ruggedly like Teddy Roosevelt. It is NOT for those who like their campground to be like The Villages of Florida where everything is flat and you drive golf carts.

Allowed rigs: travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, pop-up campers, class A RVs, class B RVs, class C RVs, campervans, cars, truck campers, and rooftop tents

As long as your vehicle has high clearance off of the ground, you may bring any kind of vehicle that you have. The camping spot is very level, but the access lane is STEEP, and you must cross water erosion trenches. Do not bring a camper that is new or fragile..

Pull-in site

You may drive right up to the the shed which has electricity, but high clearance vehicles are required since the farm lane is primitive. This is a Lewis & Clark expedition.
