Weekend Trip to Laurel Rock LLC # 2

What a sweet couple and adorable area they are creating! There is a hotdog stand, with an outdoor patio, where you pick up your key. Then, you climb a gravel hill to your place. We had Cabin #1 which was decorated with cactuses. It was warm and cozy with lots of space inside. We got settled in nicely and ventured off to Tygart Lake State Park. Thank You for a nice welcome and a cute place to stay for the night.

Lovely spot. Had a great time stargazing and listening to the wildlife. Was really nice to see coopers rock during the day and stay in a quiet spot at night. Host was really nice and made sure we were comfortable but left us to it for the weekend.

Weekend Trip to Laurel Highlands Cannabis

We had a girls camping weekend at the farm, and it was an absolute blast! There was plenty of open space to create our own setup, we were far enough away from the city and close enough to Ohio Pyle to go hiking Saturday morning. Maggie was incredibly responsive and helpful when planning for our weekend. We will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Ohiopyle Camping @ Benner's

The place and the organization was pretty good. In general a great place where to camp for the first time. The only issue I had is that the tent area is too close to the RV area. This means children screaming were annoying and also people just beating stuff or maybe a gun range. In any case, it is pretty noisy outside of the quiet hours.

Had a wonderful experience at Laurel Highlands! Maggie is a super friendly and attentive host, and the space was perfect for our needs. It’s not as tucked away as some other campsites we’ve been to, but that did not dampen the experience at all. It’s a bit elevated from the surrounding area and it was really cool to see the fog roll into the lower elevations at night. Some of the space is on a slight incline but it did not affect our ability to find a good spot for our tents or placement of our cots. I will definitely be planning to return again!

Weekend Trip to Nanny’s Rustic Retreat

Donnie's property is truly an unexpected little slice of heaven. From the property and amenities, to the welcomed animal interruptions during our detailed tour at the courtesy of Donnie...this place is truly something special. Although during our stay we were doing what some would classify as "glamping"; the amount of amenities and relaxing feeling they create makes it feel more like a country resort. We will definitely be back!

Tommy's place is gorgeous land! There are nice fields and woods. It felt entirely safe for women to camp alone. It was easy to find using the instructions and we didn't need 4wd. Would definitely go back! Tommy is delightful and didn't make fun of me when I said I saw a big bear. It was really a cow in the neighbor's pasture, way off in the distance.

Julie was such a kind and accommodating host. If you love animals, you’ll love this farm. Wide open spaces, a giant fire pit, very low light pollution at night for amazing stargazing. The bathroom with toilet and deep wash basin connected to the barn brought so much convenience and comfort. I just can’t express how welcoming and friendly Julie and her husband Shannon were to me. 10/10, I plan on coming back!

We absolutely loved this spot. Very secluded, which was exactly what we needed for a reset weekend. Only one other plot we are aware of this property, and it wasn’t in use (a small cabin on the other side of a tree line). Nestled in the Appalachian foothills, the lush greenery and vibrant fall colors made this plot especially perfect. We loved the meadow, and having such a large, secluded space to ourselves for the weekend. We will be back!

Camp Mountaineer

38mi from Ryerson Station State Park · 1 site · Morgantown, WV

Camp Mountaineer stands out as a unique summer resident camping destination for Scouts in the Mountaineer Area Council, having opened its gates in 1954. Nestled within a sprawling 1,000-acre landscape, this camp offers an exceptional Scouting experience that has delighted thousands of Scouts over the decades. Originally, Camp Mountaineer featured six distinct campsites: Cherokee, Mingo, Seneca, Delaware, Shawnee, and Catawba. In those early days, meals were prepared patrol-style in troop sites, as there was no central dining facility. The rifle range was located where the current Green Acres cabin now stands, and the Trading Post was a modest room attached to the old maintenance building at the top of the hill. Tent platforms were not available during the camp's formative years, adding to the rustic charm of the experience. A significant capital fundraising campaign in 1960-1961 provided the necessary financial support to construct a winter lodge, a new rifle range, and the current dining hall, which greatly enhanced the camp's offerings starting in 1963. In recent years, the Mountaineer Area Council has benefited from the generous contributions of the Hazel Ruby McQuain Charitable Trust and other partners. These donations have facilitated numerous facility improvements,

The best camping in Ryerson Station State Park, PA guide

Overview

About

Battles have been fought over Ryerson Station State Park. Granted that was before it was actually a state park, it doesn’t take away from classic 18th century vibe going on here. Once a hotly contested area between Native Americans and Settles, Ryerson Station is now a living ode to the majestic beauty of the old world. Rifles are commonplace during hunting season when a sharp shooter may take home a deer or a turkey and there are tons of fun, hands-on learning opportunities for the kiddos year round. History plus hiking plus swimming and a dash of famous Northeastern fall foliage equals a perfect recipe for a little R&R.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Ryerson Station State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer months bring warmth and a full bloom of park life, but also more visitors. Winters can be harsh, with snow potentially limiting access to certain areas of the park.

Know before you go

Check the weather forecast before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
Be aware of park hours, which may vary by season, to plan your trip accordingly.
Remember to pack essentials like water, snacks, and a first-aid kit for your outdoor adventures.
Stay informed about any trail closures or area restrictions that may be in effect during your visit.
Take advantage of the park's available amenities, such as picnic areas and restrooms, for a comfortable day out.
