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 two hours 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. 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 a village of RVs like in a KOA campground. There is a gutter when you turn off the road onto the lane. Please turn at a 45 degree angle and enter the lane gently or your vehicle with scrape the road. I have 30"x20' culvert to install, but I haven't yet made the commitment begin such a significant project. 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. Twenty minutes south is Big Spring State Park which has an abandoned RR tunnel form the late 1800s. Forty-five minutes away is the 1,000 steps near Mt. Union which is part of the Standing Stone Trail that runs from Cowan’s Gap State Park to PSU. The Steps provides and amazing view of the Juniata River, and is a strenuous heart work-out. If you are interested in historic trains, East Broad Top Railroad is in Mt. Union. If members of your party would like a more pampered camping experience that includes real beds and hot showers, there is an adjoining property for rent on air b and b. Google search for The Crowe's Lounge.When my father died in 2020 I removed this shed before we sold my childhood home. It measures 8' x 10' and you may sleep in it on a bad weather night (or a good weather night). Currently, it is three sided with the front open that you may use as you please. It has two 50amp outlets, one 30amp outlet, and normal 110 house outlets to. Free campfire wood; you may use anything on the ground. Also included: picnic table with six plastic chairs are included, 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. If you want to escape from humanity, this sixty acre ridge top is secluded and private. Let your dogs and children run free. You will not have to talk to anyone. You will not even have to deal with the property owner. 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. You are welcome to bring horses, but please keep them out of the crop-field.

Unfortunately I cut my stay short after the 2nd day when I saw a black bear cub 20 yards from the port-a-john. I blared my air horn and he went away. But with an open door shed, I didn't want to wait around for Momma bear to show up. Wesley graciously refunded my last night and said "seeing a bear is rare". He also quickly brought some bee and wasp killer to kill the wasps nesting in the shed and that took care of that problem. It's a beautiful view and very private, which was great. I just wish I didn't have the animal visitors that I did.

We Will Be Back!

Wilbur's Shed is an amazing place to camp! It's very private and the views of the mountains are spectacular. It gets so dark! It was great sitting around a fire under hundreds of stars, listening to the wind in the trees. Speaking of trees, there were plenty of great spots to pitch hammocks. There are trails to hike and the porta potty was very well maintained. I had a solid 5G connection on T-Mobile, but streaming was slow and video chatting was a non starter, but I was able to make and receive calls and send pictures. My friend had Verizon and was able to video chat with no issue.

Keep coming back!

I love this little place so much, I keep coming back. It feels so secluded and private. There is not a more beautiful sunrise anywhere in the world. I love having everything I could need at my fingertips. My dog and I love to relax here and I will continue coming back. Wes is an awesome host!
