This beautiful hill we live on was once owned by the Jones family. They owned the whole hill and farmed potatoes here. Occasionally you will find one in the dirt ! Their original home is just around the corner from us occupied by none other than the infamous Hatfield family. Well their children's children's children, who are a very nice family :). But before all that, the Susquehannock Indians occupied the lands all around here. They say you can see hieroglyphs on the gigantic rocks in the Susquehanna River just 2 short miles from us.

Labyrinth in the Woods
Private, well-maintained campsite
I stayed here with a group of friends, and we had a great time. We had three tents (two 2 person, one 6 person), and our site had enough space for all. The property was unique and Eric was very friendly. Plus, the site was very private. We did have to park near the house and carry our things down to the campsite. It was a short walk, so it wasn't a problem at all, just something to know before you go that your car won't be right next to your site. We would definitely come back and camp here again!

We had a lovely visit at Eric and Donna's place. They had a golf cart to help us transport our gear from the car to the campsite, and we felt safe and welcomed. The campsite was quiet and our dog had a blast! We would definitely come back.

Perfect weekend getaway
We loved our stay at this camp site. The hosts were so sweet and accommodating. The site itself was private and the perfect escape from city life. There are beautiful hiking trails about 7 miles away, as well. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a getaway.

Eric was easy to communicate with and was very accommodating. The campsite was great. While there are other campsites on the property, there is a feeling of privacy. I would recommend.

River Hills Hideaway
I highly recommend River Hills Hideaway for a relaxing camping trip to get away from it all. The grounds were nice, facilities were as described and the hosts are all incredibly kind and generous people. As an added bonus there are a great number of cats who are very friendly as well as one very chill older dog!

I loved it here. It was very accommodating. The only thing I would change would be being able to pull the car up closer to the camp ground. We like to leave food in the car at night so as not to attract any creatures. Another site was able to pull multiple cars right up and it would have been cool if we could have moved ours closer but other than that it was exceptional. They got along great with our dog and helped us when they could.
