Kevin was super accommodating and the cabin was very clean and cozy with lots of little extras. The outside of the cabin had a picnic table and fire pit and was private. Cell service was good enough to stream a movie on netflix on our laptop too. We will definitely stay here on the property again.

Star Lee is a wonderful setting for a bucolic visit to Central PA. Close to Raystown Lake and other state lands it offers a nice stay for anyone to hike, bike, hunt, or fish in the area. Stargazing and daydreaming also included. As a working bee and hay farm, Star Lee offers the opportunity to settle in, relax and enjoy. It is clean, comfortable, and obviously well cared for. I highly recommend Star Lee and am still enjoying their honey. We’ll be back.

Weekend Trip to Star Lee Farm
We have stayed in a lot of hip camps, but this by far is one of the very best that we’ve stayed in. Some of the highlights: cozy cabin nicely decorated. No heat or electricity, but he had lanterns for us, but we brought our own. Nice outdoor area with a picnic table and a fire pit that was perfect. Also a gas grill for us to cook on. He is two other cabin places, but they are so far apart that you can’t really hear or see anyone else. The property is huge and it is a working bee farm and it was very cool. These are located nowhere near the cabin, so you never have to worry about the bees being near your cabin. Highly suggest you learn about raising bees from our host! He has delicious honey for sale and an awesome piece of property with lots of different birds and deer. we walked around his property the first day and went 1.7 miles so it is very large. Also, very nice that it is a close walk to the flushable toilets and hot water showers. This was also a huge plus for us in October. Kevin is very responsive. He is also retired military and very compassionate and energetic about his farm. We came up for the end of the road half marathon/4miler, but in addition to that there is much more in this area if you like the outdoors. We did not go to Raytown Lake / Alpaca farm which we will visit next time. We love to hike and within 15 minutes is beautiful hikes with awesome views in including the thousand steps and the standing stone trail. We highly recommend!!!

We loved our stay at Star Lee. The cabins are perfect getaway from the daily grind. Clean and comfortable. If you’re looking for wide open sky and some peace and quiet, look no further and head to Star Lee. Kevin is a gracious and accommodating host! He even checked in to ensure we returned home safe and sound. Simply can’t be beat and we’re very fortunate to have our first Hipcamp stay at Star Lee and looking forward to return.

We loved our stay at Sassafras Hollow! The farm was cute and everyone was very friendly and happy to show us around. We bought some produce from our hosts and it was delicious. Benny the farm dog is a real charmer too! The cabin was clean and air conditioned, we enjoyed looking through the books and movies. We also took a short drive to Cowan's Gap for a hike and a great view. Couldn't have asked for more!

My girlfriend and I loved our stay at Kevin's Honey Bee Cabin! The cabin was super cozy and clean. He even had us all set up with little extra stuff like a box of fire starters, a roll of paper towels, bottled water, and a free sample of honey from his farm! The firepit and picnic table were well taken care of and the grill looked brand new. The shower house was a short walk from the cabin was also clean and had hot water. He was very good at checking in with us over message and occasionally in person to see if we needed anything. We went for our 8 year anniversary and to see the lunar eclipse. It was convenient since there was a nice open field for stargazing so we had a perfect view of the eclipse! Overall a great stay, thanks Kevin for a great weekend!

This was the first place I've ever rented through Hipcamp, and I truly couldn't have been happier.
The cabin managed to be cozy while still offering plenty of space so you aren't always on top of everyone else. The cabin and location were beautiful in equal measure.
In terms of accommodations, the hosts truly thought of everything. It was a nice surprise to find a guide on using the fireplace (not to mention the Great Grate!); everything about our stay was hassle-free.
I'm already longing to go back!

Not much fun for tent camping. The RV folks are loud late at night and so are their RVs. They leave their dogs out all night to bark, unabated. It's a great location for access to the trails and the lake but we're pretty much done with the place.

I loved taking my kids to this campground for years. We found a perfect waterfront site that we came to every year, great fishing, good swimming, the perfect spot especially for a single dad and two young children. We haven’t been there for a couple years, checking out some other places, but looking to come back this year and apparently everything changed. Site numbers are different, the good sites are not even on map, and as far as I can find there’s no explanation for why let alone any warning for someone who assumes the site they have been going to for years would be labeled a different number or not exist at all. Some of my best times were camping there with my kids but unfortunately the site we knew and loved has been eliminated for so

This was a great boat-to-shore campground, though they were eliminating a lot of the trees when we went last year. This means we may not be able to return, since we primarily hammock camp; but, for tenters with boats (we kayak) it's a nice, quiet campground. You will need to bring your own water!

This is primarily RV camping, and getting a spot is really difficult. People are only supposed to stay for 2 weeks, but many just re-register and live there for the summer.
