3 nights at Peace & Quiet by the River!

This was our 6th year in a row staying at Susan's beautiful property! Always so peaceful and relaxing, and we will be returning next year. I recommend this place to all my friends and family!

Weekend Trip to FernRock Retreat

We are a family from Ukraine, outdoor recreation is an integral part of our lives, we thank God that we were lucky enough to visit this place, every part of which is made with love and care. Sandy and John are incredibly friendly and sincere people (God bless you). The house has its own history and you will feel it, it is a place of recharge and renewal! We will come here again and again!

3 nights at Fairie Tale Farm

A Fairie Tale farm indeed! The campground/farm has it all, if you know what ”real” camping is. As a busy family from the city, we value rest, quietness and most of all privacy when we go camping, and Susan’s land delivered! The best nights’ sleep, ever! It was lovely to be surrounded by nature, wake up from the birds singing and not by noisy neighbors ( although we did have neighbors but they were polite and respectful ). Susan is super nice and hardworking, she made sure we are settled and got everything we needed, she did all the same with the other campers. Ricketts Glen State Park is about a few minutes drive. We did the “Falls Trail” trail, ( because we are a family who hikes ) and oh boy, we have hiked difficult trails, but this one, please do not underestimate, you will need proper footwear! The trail we picked was a “moderate” one, but we find the way back is hard because it was very slippery where the “falls” are, and there’s so many of them! Seeing the horses in the afternoon was such a delight, because our site was just right in front of it! We can’t wait to go back, maybe next camping we will pick shelterwood! Thanks again Susan!❤️

Weekend Trip to Close to Ricketts Glen State Park

This was my first HipCamp booking and was not left disappointed. Chris and Jackie were absolute super hosts! Most adorable couple. They were very accommodating and caring. Just want to thank them for being so kind and generous! 🙏🏼❤️

Weekend Trip to Fairie Tale Farm

Was only there one night, but probably the best Hipcamp experience I’ve had. Susan was very communicative and accommodating, and offered more than expected. Really enjoyed taking the paddle board out on the pond before settling in at the site, and my dog loved getting a swim in herself.

Weekend Trip to Fairie Tale Farm

We loved it here!! Susan has a beautiful property. Our campsite provided plenty of privacy and space for four adults and our two dogs. Quick drive to Ricketts Glen, which is where we spent our Saturday. We look forward to returning in the future.

Weekend Trip to Fairie Tale Farm

My friends and I had an amazing weekend at Susan’s camp. Serenity Ridge had a gorgeous view, late night visits from the horses, and plenty of space away from the other sites for privacy. This site had both flat, open space as well as covered wooded area. Susan was extremely responsive and provided all the potable water & fire we needed at no additional cost. Looking forward to coming back again soon.

3 nights at Fairie Tale Farm

Phenomenal camping spot with a very kind and accommodating host. We loved the quiet serene of Susan’s property with options for activities just a quick walk down the hill. We will be back for sure.

Weekend Trip to Crystal Spring Camp

As we pulled around the windy gravel road, we came upon a clearing across from the Art Trail. Tucked under tall, fragranced pine trees, we found multiple tiki torches leading to an iron table and chairs, situated beside the fire pit. We decided to tuck our tent under the pines on a ground of needles, next to the cozy wooden bench. The grounds were idyllic, full of birdsong and soft breezes. We found a spot for the hammock to lounge in the shade… and while it was a 90’ day, it was pleasant and cooler under the pines. There is a small active stream a short walk from the camp. The owners of Crystal Spring, Rose and Eric, are quite lovely, helpful, and friendly. They came to greet us with a bouquet of various herbs from their garden. Overall, this was such a sweet little getaway. We will definitely be back soon x

Weekend Trip to RoundStone

This camp site was a bit far from the others and a bit exposed during the day but there was a path we were able to go down to the water in and great at night to see stars

Weekend Trip to RoundStone

Site was great, as advertised, would return. Only downside was that neighboring properties went hard with fireworks for 4th of July.

Weekend Trip to RoundStone

We loved camping here! We had Tent Site #1 which had plenty of room for 6 of us. It was secluded and the water accessibility was so lovely. Literally my only complaints were that the campsite was covered with gravel which my little dog’s feet didn’t love (or my bare feet!), and that there seemed to a very large family that came through to use the grassy area and tent site near the waterfall cabin for day use only, which took away from some of the amenities that paid campers were entitled to. Other than that, we’ll absolutely be back again!

2 nights at RoundStone

Bullpine was wonderful. We had a lovely spot for the tent and hammock nestled in the trees and our kids could play in the meadow or at the creek and still be within earshot. It exceeded our expectations and we can't wait to return.

What a sweet little cabin! Sandy and John were wonderful hosts, thanks for the peaceful stay!

Weekend Trip to Stonehedge Gardens Holistic Retreat

We stayed only one night but had a great experience. Tom met us when we arrived and gave us a quick tour around the property. Very welcoming and peaceful place to set up camp. There were other campers at other sites but we didn’t get the chance to meet any of them.

Weekend Trip to Shambala at Mystic Hollow

It’s always so beautiful here. I arrived in the rain but next day was hot. The stream was cold and lovely to sit by. Make sure you bring bug repellant, mosquitoes and biting flies are everywhere after a rain. Site 10 is furthest away and private but has just one step down to the creek. Mel is always so helpful and kind, my dogs love the freedom to sprint through the field and roam as we walk. This is always my favorite camping spot.

Weekend Trip to 100 Mile View Camping, Jim Thorpe

Great stay. The host and staff were friendly, and introduced themselves as folks arrived. Wine made by operators was tasty, and reasonably priced. Will be back, and want to bring friends for a multi-site stay. The sites are rustic but excellent for easy going relaxation. The road and trail is quite bumpy - go slow and you’ll be fine. Sedans, drive extra slow. Site 11 is off the main view, but provides nice shade and trees mid-site. We were able to set our dog up nicely so he could move freely around. Wood chips instead of gravel is a nice touch. The fire pits are stone, another nice touch Vs metal rings. Super clean - several times I saw the portas checked, trash collected, etc. Everything felt chill, easy going, but maintained. Expect some later crowds, a lil hooting n hollering, the odd generator kick-on, or some other noises - but otherwise it’s spaced out enough to give that room to still enjoy yourself.

Weekend Trip to Stonehedge Gardens Holistic Retreat

What a beautiful place! Falling asleep to the sound of the stream was fantastic! A perfect little getaway and Tom the host was terrific! He gave a tour of the property and gave a little background information on the holistic retreat! He even placed hay down on our campsite since it was muddy from the rain! Will definitely be camping back here again!!

Weekend Trip to FernRock Retreat

My partner and I spent a weekend at Fern Rock and had a beautiful and healing experience. John and Sandy have done an incredible job of creating spaces of rest and contemplation throughout the property and the cabin was cozy and so well equipped for any of our cooking and sleeping needs. The kayaks and paddle boards were a treat. Plus they have a great collection of nature loving books. John and Sandy are lovely hosts and a delight to interact with. I will be recommending Fern Rock to friends and plan on returning again!

Weekend Trip to Fairie Tale Farm

We had a great time! Susan was very helpful with many aspects of our stay-- which campground site to choose, what activities to do nearby, addressing any issues that came up during our stay, etc. The place is very peaceful and the children really enjoyed spending time with the horses! This is our second time staying here and we plan to return again!

Shambala at Mystic Hollow

15 sites · RVs, Tents6 acres · Mohrsville, PA

Pitch your tent along Irish Creek under a canopy of Maples at Mystic Hollow. Irish Creek, which is a stream, is a tributary to the Schuylkill River. Site are a 5 minute walk from main house. The land is flat for walking to the camping area. A slight bit bumpy in a small area. I can manage just fine in flip flops but I did want to provide the information if anyone would be using a wheelchair. There is also a small bridge that goes over a small strip of wetlands. Fire rings are included. Tables can be provided. Just let us know ahead of time. I can haul your gear to your spot with tractor and wagon if needed. There is a port-a-potty close by. We are flexible with check-in and check-out times if we are not at full capacity. Just let us know ahead of time if you want to check in or out earlier or later. We allow dogs. They must be on leashes unless they are friendly and play well with others. You must clean up your dog's poop! No exceptions! We are 5 minutes from the Schuylkill River. 10 minutes from Ontelaunee Lake. 15 minutes from Blue Marsh. 15 minutes from the Appalacian Trail. Trail heads nearby would be Port Clinton, Hamburg, Bernville, Bethel, Blue Rocks, Kempton... 20 minutes from Hawk Mountain. We are an hour from Jim Thorpe. There are several wineries in the area including Long Trout Winery where wine is cool and hippy chicks rule! My favorite! Lots of wildlife in the area. Expect to hear owls, blue heron, cows, goats, chickens, horses, hawks, eagles, dogs, racoons and coyotes. There is a good chance of being visited by racoons at night if your food isn't stored away properly. Also, the deer may walk past in the middle of the night as well. We do also get wild turkey during different times of the year. Hiking, kayaking, tubing, fishing, mountain biking, bike trails, etc... all nearby. Sadly there are no fish in Irish Creek worth catching. The Crayfish are! As with any land situated along a water source, there is always a possibility of flooding. We flood maybe once a year, once every other year. If that should happen, we will assist in hauling gear. There is higher ground for tents to be set up if need be. There will also be rooms available to rent in the near future. Please don't hesitate to contact us with questions. 420 friendly. LGBTQ friendly. If you are coming from out of state: Pennsylvania has a quarantine order for untreated firewood entering the state to protect its forests from invasive species. Firewood must be kiln dried, heat treated, fumigated, or USDA certified to enter the state. However, commercially imported wood that has been heat-treated according to USDA regulations typically doesn't fall under these bans.

Journey's End Farm

2 sites · Lodging100 acres · Newfoundland, PA

Journey's End Farm is a small family farm offering a diverse selection of ecologically grown vegetables, maple syrup, and free-range eggs. Everything that we sell is grown or produced on-site with the intention of nurturing the soil and ecology of the land. From 1939-2020 our family ran a summer sleep-away camp for children on the farm, with an emphasis on caring for each other and the land. Located in a small valley at 1400 feet of elevation, our fields and woods are home to a broad diversity of native plants and animals. Our family has been caring for this land since 1926, but before European colonization it was home to the Lenape people from whom it was forcibly taken. Acknowledging this fact and working to expand awareness of Indigenous cultures and their rights is important to us. While at the farm, besides the amenities listed in each listing, you are welcome to hike or walk around and explore our farm which has many acres of woodland, creeks, springs, a pond, and open fields. A hot day is a great time for a walk along - or in - the creek. A rainy day brings out the Red Efts - beautiful orange newts that are all over the woods when you know where to look. We're always glad to point you in the right direction for a nice walk or a longer hike. You may be able to tag along collecting eggs from the hens or feeding some of the other animals we may have.

Keen Lake Camping Cottage Resort

1 siteWaymart, PA

Keen Lake Campground and Cottage Resort stands out as a unique destination steeped in rich history, dating back to 1814 when the Keen family first acquired land in what was then known as the Elk Forest tract. The resort office is situated on the original family homestead site, which tragically succumbed to fire in 1832. A fascinating feature of the resort is the gravity coal-mining railway system that once traversed the entire length of the campground. Campsites are thoughtfully arranged along the remnants of this historic rail system, particularly in an area known as Gravity Lane. The trains would have passed by the Movie Lounge and meandered behind the Game Room, crossing over two impressive stone bridges that anchor both the Main Campground and the Trestle Area Campsites. The remnants of the past are evident in the stone dam, constructed in the 1800s to facilitate the movement of canal boats, which has been recently refurbished for structural integrity. In addition to its rail history, the Keen family was also involved in the ice supply industry during the era of the Great Canal. Massive blocks of ice were harvested from the frozen lake and transported via the Gravity railroad to the Hudson Canal in Honesdale, eventually reaching Kingston, New York, where they were sold to

Reservations for campsites, cabins, and cottages open 11 months in advance and remain open until noon on the date of arrival.

When to go

Hickory Run State Park is open throughout the year, but most visitors come from spring through early fall. During this period, parking lots for day-use visitors often fill up early, even on weekdays, so it’s wise to arrive as early as you can.

Know before you go

You can pick up food, firewood, ice, and basic supplies at the on-site camp store or by driving to the town of Albrightsville, a 10-minute drive away.
Alcohol is prohibited at Hickory Run and at all other Pennsylvania state parks.
Hickory Run is in bear country, so campers must keep all food, toiletries, and cooking supplies in bear-safe areas. Garbage should be thrown in designated bear-proof dumpsters.

Hickory Run Park Campground

Very crowded - they really crammed the sites close together. Not enough bathrooms/showers for the amount of people they pack in there. The saving graces of this place are the absolutely fantastic hiking trails and the 10 minute drive to Lehigh Gorge State Park. Jim Thorpe WaterAdventures offer kayaking and rafting down the Lehigh River, but hiking or biking the gorge is just as fun!
