We are a community in Northwestern Pennsylvania located outside the town of Springboro. Many people come through the area to visit Lake Erie. Others come in to hunt in the nearby state game lands. Fishermen especially seek places to stay, but they can be hard to find. We look forward to welcoming them to our community. One of our residents has a greenhouse with beautiful plants and another sells honey. In town, our neighbor has a hunting store that includes an indoor simulated archery experience. Up the road is Chupp's Country Cupboard, an Amish store that offers fresh and unique items.

Weekend Trip to The Nest - Creekfront Cabin In ANF

We loved our trip! It was a perfect weekend get away for our family. We walked in the river, swam, went fishing, and just relaxed. We came with our 9 year old and 1 year old, they both had a great time! The site has a nice covered pavilion with a gas grill, fire pit with a swing near by. The kitchen has a two burner stove, toaster over, fridge, keurig coffee maker, and sink. Hot water, AC, and dvd player and a ton of DVDs which was nice when the storm rolled in. We definitely plan to come back for more outdoor adventures

Weekend Trip to Crestview Campground

When we arrived at crestview we were immediately in love with the pink salmon camper, there were loads of amenities in the trailer including a toilet, cooking utensils, two decent size beds, and an A/C unit. They even recently added a shower stall near the entrance of the site. The co owner was extremely welcoming and told us that we could take our time leaving in the morning because there was no one booked for the next day. Our experience was great until the night time when a group of people at a camper next to us starting arguing and screaming explicitly around 3-4 AM. We were able to go back to sleep without any further issues and the rest of the stay was peaceful. On our drive out from crestview I received a text from the owner about a full reimbursement for the interruption in the night. They absolutely did not need to do that, but I find it admirable that they care more about customer experience rather than money. I would stay here again.

If you are looking for a private secluded camping spot this is your place. I might suggest an suv for the drive in . The canvas bell tent was on a raised platform and very good quality.

Talk about off the grid—this place is 100% that. You take a cool dirt and gravel trail back to your site, which is completely secluded. The creek running alongside the rock wall makes for a one-of-a-kind experience. I highly recommend this location, and Barry was an awesome host who was incredibly accommodating.

My husband and I booked our stay for our first wedding anniversary. We had an absolutely wonderful time and made long lasting memories. The camp area is perfectly set up for cooking and enjoying the fire at night and snuggling up in a warm tent at the end of the day. There’s also amazing fishing for my husband in great trails for us to walk with the dog. We would love to come back again. The host was amazing and offered to help us with whatever we needed.
