Bending Oak Permaculture Farm

20 sites · Lodging, Tents25 acres · Youngstown, OH

Bending Oak Farm is an educational farm on 25 formerly clear cut acres. We are committed to our mission creating a more sustainable world by showing people what is possible. Through classes, workshops, school tours, community programs and hands-on experiences, we look to demonstrate attainable practices to better the lives of all people. We invite you to come and experience how you can create a more sustainable life for you, your family, friends and your community. To ensure an environment that is family friendly and mitigate the risk of injury Bending Oak does not permit alcoholic beverages or recreational drugs at the farm. Guests who stay in one of our permaculture cabins are participating in a permaculture design process where the goal is to create a system of abundance. During your stay, you will be challenged to think differently about how you go about meeting your daily needs. By design, you will encounter limits to the typical expectations of your living space, which grants you the opportunity to think deeply about what really is important to you and join us in exploring effective possibilities in meeting these expectations. After all, necessity is the mother of invention. This is our first study of building a sustainable living environment. We started with a blank slate, a new system designed with the permaculture principles in mind and the intention of ultimately creating a living space with the creature comforts we have all grown accustomed to. Eventually we will be building the next round of accommodations (principal: Small & Slow Solutions). When staying in one of our cabins, you are participating in this process by sharing with us your experience (principal: Observe & Interact), letting us know what you have discovered you can and can not live without, and possible solutions to efficiently address those needs and wants (principal: Apply Self Regulation & Accept Feedback). We look forward to your stay with us and your participation in creating abundance in this living space!

Weekend Trip to Bill S. and Nancy's property

This is thee best, private, quietest site you could ever find! We had another great holiday weekend with Bill and Nancy and will most certainly be back as soon as we can!

3 nights at Rustic Acres - Elevated RV Camping

Clean, organized, well maintained. Very responsive staff. Great location. Nice tall trees provide good shade in most sites. If you are a remote worker, you'll love The Hub. It's a co-work space right on the property. Nice rustic interior design. The outreach attracts courteous guests. I was there 4th of July weekend. No excessive barking dogs or loud music. Just a nice vibe. I recommend this campground.

3 nights at Rustic Acres - Elevated RV Camping

We really enjoyed our first stay at Rustic Acres, especially the amenities for kids and families. Nice large playground, cornhole boards, and the hub (an air conditioned indoor space when we needed a break from the heat) were the things we used the most. We plan on visiting again soon.

Weekend Trip to DLR Mustang Ranch

Our experience was so peaceful that we had to stay another day. The host family was so inviting it was like we were apart of the family. The work that the family is doing on the DLR Ranch is honorable, rehabbing horses and also Helping Our Veterns. We can not wait for our next visit. I give the DLR Ranch a 10 out of 10.

Weekend Trip to DLR Mustang Ranch

We had a remarkable time at the DRL Mustang Ranch! We were seeking the perfect place to camp and enjoy nature, and boy did we find it. From the stunning mustangs, donkeys, peacocks, ducks, and of course Fred the friendly Turkey, we truly had a wonderful time and were one with nature. Thank you Renee and Dale for being fantastic and friendly hosts. Thank you also for the amazing work that you’re doing to impact mustangs, veterans, and people with all abilities!

Weekend Trip to DLR Mustang Ranch

Our experience was nothing short of amazing. We were greeted by a wealth of animals both domestic and wild, yet the ambiance was incredibly peaceful. What set this place apart from all the others was the host, Renee, and her family. They were warm, inviting and gracious. The story behind the mission of their ranch for both the Mustangs and Veterans is honorable and is a reflection of the family you will meet. All this along with comfortable accommodations makes this "my go to place".

Weekend Trip to Aspen Overlook Campsite

It was easy to find the camp, it is well maintained and very quiet. Ample amount of dry firewood and clean facilities with the portable toilet. Will be back soon. Highly recommend.

1 night at Lake Lucy RV Park

Very nice grounds at Lake Lucy RV Park. Not a ‘Chuck E Cheese’ type of atmosphere!

2 nights at River Hills Above the Allegheny

What a fantastic campsite! My kids thought it was really cool to have to drive up and down the hills and back roads to get there. The 110 outlets made it so easy for me to plug-in what we needed to enjoy our camp. We absolutely loved going down to the creek and exploring it together. The scenery here is simply beautiful. In 24 hours we saw a fox and eagle and three deer! All of us kind of freaked out when we saw the fox because we none of us have ever seen one.

Super secluded camping. Stream running through making for great sleep. Very helpful and kind host! Would definitely return.

It was a home away from home ❤️ Loved every second of it from the critters, to the frog pond to the amazing little place to lay our heads. I couldn't have asked for better hosts. Be prepared to become best friends with the turkey Fred though...what a stud of a bird. Lol

It was our first time camping here. My husband, me and our 2 dogs. So peaceful our camp site was close to the waterfall and loved listening to it. Chris was helpful and responded quickly to my question.

Weekend Trip to River Hills Above the Allegheny

Great site and location. Quite and off the beaten path, my husband and I enjoyed our time in nature. The level platform was a nice touch it made things much easier to setup as well as sleeping in the tent more comfortable. The waterfall on the property was also very nice and fun to explore.

Weekend Trip to Rustic Acres - Elevated RV Camping

Had a great first experience here, lovely campground, very quiet. Restrooms were clean and overall vibe was very peaceful.

The site was spacious and private, and close enough to the state park to make it convenient. Lovely little outhouse. Stars as far as the eye can see. Fireflies like Christmas lights.

River Hills Above the Allegheny

7 sites · RVs, Tents75 acres · Parker, PA

Located just outside of Parker, PA and 25 minutes from I-80, our campsite is very accessible, yet still very remote. With 4 campsites on 75 acres, guests have ample privacy and space, with the freedom to roam this posted property that has no homes on it. Perched high above the Allegheny there are several spots to take in the wonderful views. There is also a waterfall with a 3’ deep pool below it. Great for splashing with kids or dogs, guests love exploring the creek bottom and making new discoveries. The more curious guests sometimes find the ruins of the original homestead, chimney and spring house that sit upstream. The property is teeming with wildlife. Birds and tree frogs will be the soundtrack of your visit, and often deer will be seen nosing along the outskirts of your site in the mornings and evenings. Turkey, bald eagles and even bear are occasionally spotted, so be prepared to secure your food and trash at night. For those coming to disconnect, you have found the right place. But if cell service is needed, you will have enough to get texts out and depending what site you booked, calls and internet as well. For those who seek an electrical outlet AND and EV charger, we have a site for you! We also have a site with a large canvas tent already set up for your convenience. Within a 15 minute drive of your campsite you can find The North Country Trail, Rails to Trails Trailheads and Boat Launches on the Allegheny River, Groceries, dining and beer.

DLR Mustang Ranch

Located roughly 20 miles from Beaver Creek State Park, DLR Mustang Ranch is a 17-acre peaceful sanctuary for many wild and previously wild mustangs. The Ranch offers veteran and first responder mustang programs year-round. Please let us know if you are a veteran or first responder for a special rate. Accommodations include a small one-room cabin nestled on a little pond. The cabin has electricity, a microwave, small refrigerator, tv, futon, heating and cooling; however, it does not have plumbing. Nearby is an outhouse with electricity and a water pump fed from well water. There is a firepit for cooking and picnic tables available. There is also flat space for tent camping beside the cabin area. If a more secluded area is preferred, there is a 4-acre field in the back of the property surrounded by woods; however, it should be noted the only outhouse is located by the cabin. Splitting the property in half at the bottom of a wooded hill is a quiet stream full of small wildlife. Coyotes often cut through the woods and the 4-acre pasture. There is space for an RV in the driveway next to the woods with electric hookup and access to the outhouse, water pump, and firepit. While this is a working ranch with farm animals, our aim is to create a peaceful relaxing environment in order to unwind and enjoy the creation around us. Going in the pastures with horses while unaccompanied by the owners is prohibited; however, it can be arranged for you to meet and interact with the mustangs if interested. There are other farm animals including sheep, a goat, pigs, donkeys, peacocks, turkeys, chickens and ducks on the premises.

Sycamore Island and its campsite are managed by Allegheny Land Trust, a 501c3 land conservation nonprofit helping local people save local land in the Pittsburgh region. We are able to review and respond to camping requests Monday - Friday between 9 am - 5 pm. Acquired and protected by Allegheny Land Trust in 2008, Sycamore Island is a floodplain forest with a ranking of “high significance” within the Allegheny River Biological Diversity Area (BDA) Natural Heritage Area. Before the island was protected by ALT, the island had periodic interludes of recognition and appreciation by humans as a natural refuge. In 1936, both Sycamore Island and Nine Mile Island were leased from the Pennsylvania Railroad by the Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania, making these islands the first bird sanctuaries in the Pittsburgh region. The Harbor Isle Boat Club was in existence on the island during the late 1960s but was later abandoned leaving behind several significant features; including a barge that remains embedded in the sand at the island’s southern tip, a partially installed swimming pool, docking platform, and a series of offshore pilings in the back channel.

Camping in Moraine State Park guide

Overview

About

Pennsylvania's third-largest state park is a dream with more than 16,725 acres of lakeside beaches and wooded hills converted from former mining land. Outdoor activities span all tastes thanks to 71 miles of trails to hike, mountain bike, or horseback ride, plus sledding, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling through winter. Aquaphiles are equally well-served, with 42 miles of lakeside to cruise, windsurf, or fish—or you can hit the sandy beaches to swim and sunbathe. Camping isn't permitted within the park, but two primitive campsites are available for organized groups only, as well as cozy cabins.

Tips for snagging a campsite

You can reserve one of 11 cabins or two group campgrounds via the Pennsylvania State Parks website.
Campsite reservations open 11 months in advance, and all sites must be reserved a minimum of three days in advance.
Cabins can book up fast, especially if visiting between April and October. Book at least three months in advance, or even earlier for summer or holiday weekends.

When to go

Moraine State Park is open year-round, and with up to 2 million annual visitors, don't expect to have the trails to yourself. Peak season runs from April through October, while the winter months offer the best chance to dodge the crowds. Activities vary by season, from boat cruises and stand-up paddleboard lessons in summer to iceboating in winter. Cabins can be booked year-round.

Know before you go

Moraine State Park is 40 miles north of Pittsburgh, about a 40-minute drive away.
There are no admission fees for Pennsylvania state parks, but campsite booking fees apply.
Facilities include two marinas, boat launches, a boat rental and gift shop, fishing piers, bike rental, and an electric-vehicle charging station. Picnic areas with grills and restrooms are all over, along with seven reservable picnic pavilions. Food concession stands can be foundat the two beaches.
You can bring your own boats and watercraft with motors up to 20 horsepower. Swimming is permitted only at the Lakeview and Pleasant Valley beaches.
ADA-accessible beaches, boat launches, picnic areas, and restrooms are available. The fishing pier at McDanels Boat Launch is also accessible.

You need to remove this listing as muskrat cove campground IS NOT a hipcamp. This is the same as false advertising. Shame on you. The park is now aware of the false listing.
