Stories from the community

That middle tree is huge! Possibly an old growth considering the area around it.

4 nights at Clear Creek Cook Forest Campsite

This was our second time at Fern Gully. Private and stunning. The forest looks like it goes on forever. If you want a quiet paradise with the only sounds being the wind and birds(plus the occasional turkey), this is the campsite for you.

2 nights at Organic Farm in the Pocono Mts.

Nice spot with some great views of the Delaware valley. Old farmstead with fields to saunter in. Level site, big fire pit and lots of space to relax. Goats are great for kids to mingle with. Tons of berry bushes if you’re there in June/July. Easy access off 209 (though you can hear some traffic at night). Waterfront park just down the road. Water Gap is 10 mins away. Driveway is steep, be careful in wet weather. Some poison ivy around if allergic, so be careful in spring. Certainly a place we may revisit in another season.

1 night at Bald Eagle Campsite

Tent camping here was such a joy! The space was clean and easily accessible which made set up a breeze. We were able to use the facilities and wood provided with ease and they really do think of everything! I look forward to returning with friends and family.

4 nights at Bald Eagle Campsite

Site 27 is a nice and open grassy site. Only downfall was close to road so very loud.

5 nights at Bald Eagle Campsite

Fabulous little spot. Only complaint was the highway noise. I recommend a site further in. 😉

4 nights at Fairie Tale Farm

We stayed at the moondance retreat site at Fairie Tale Farm over Memorial Day weekend for my husbands 30th birthday! It was our first camping trip in our new camper, and we couldn't have picked a better place. Susan is such a welcoming and attentive host. Met us at the front of her property, and lead us to our camp site. She provided dry wood and water at the site, and helped us get situated. We saw the most beautiful double rainbow that overlooked the most amazing view! Her horse Blue came to visit us as well as her pony. We took walks around her farm land while drinking our morning coffee, and sat down by her pond with the coolest adirondack chairs that overlooked her barn. Peace is what we experienced there from the moment we pulled in, until the moment we left. We are so grateful, and will defiantly be coming back again!

4 nights at Clear Creek Cook Forest Campsite

We love staying at this location.it is close to clear creek state park and cooks forest.The campsite is level with stone down,it has electric and good well water.The site is surrounded by the forest and is still far enough away from the crowds of people.The owners are very easy to deal with and we have never had to call them for any issues at the site. LUV It.❤️

Weekend Trip to Spyglass Ridge Winery

We had a great time at Spyglass and Thomas was an excellent host. He was very accomodating and found us the best spot for our stay, which included ample electrical hookup down near the pond and event stage. The restaurant at the winery is absolutely fantastic... gorgeous post and beam contruction with excellent food and drinks and great service. Lots of birds and a Bald Eagle that circled overhead regularly. Awesome! State parks nearby with hiking, great views, etc. We'll return someday

Weekend Trip to Spyglass Ridge Winery

Mostly RV campers but if you're tent camping, you have much more freedom on where you want to set up! Very beautiful scenery, and super close to Knoebels!

1 night at Shambala at Mystic Hollow

Mel was so accommodating and lovely! Had a great time!

Weekend Trip to River Hills Above the Allegheny

Had a wonderful time camping at Chris’ land. The stargazing is no joke! Once it gets dark the field is full of so many constellations. Comfortable set up. Best compost toilet Iv’e ever used. Chris was very nice.

Weekend Trip to Organic Farm in the Pocono Mts.

Excellent time and will come again. Ticks all the the boxes for a camping trip

Weekend Trip to Close to Ricketts Glen State Park

Very friendly hosts. Nice open, flat, grassy places to put the tent. Water, portable toilets, and electric are available. Dark sky’s for star gazing. Close to Ricketts Glen and other places of interest.

Weekend Trip to Close to Ricketts Glen State Park

The property was well maintained and comfortable and Chris and Jackie were so hospitable, always stopping by to make sure we had all we needed. Our site had plenty of space and the property does not hold a lot of campers so we never felt like we were “apartment camping.” We were traveling with young kids and the nice open space was great for them to play baseball, soccer, lacrosse, etc. we also had two dogs with us and they were so happy to be on cozy grass with a wooded area close by. My family thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we were close to all the activities we wanted to participate in.

Weekend Trip to Stonehedge Gardens Holistic Retreat

We loved staying at Stonehedge Gardens! This property is a magical haven rich with inspiring history, collaborative community, and intentional design. Tom is an absolute gem who goes above and beyond to provide an exceptional experience. We parked our van in one corner of the field near the back of the property and appreciated all the open space. Trails leading into the gardens wind around beautifully landscaped ponds with gorgeous camp sites tucked between the trees. It’s a perfect retreat from Philadelphia and we will be returning as soon as possible with friends in tow!

Weekend Trip to Neal Homestead Camp Sites

Perfect spot for our family! Pretty quiet and secluded the composting pottywas convenient & Judy was sweet. Would camp there again for sure!

Weekend Trip to Austin Dam Memorial Park

This was our second stay at Austin Dam, our first at Site 6. Alvy is an amazing host who truly cares about the grounds and his guests! We love chatting with him. Site 6 had plenty of space for us to spread out, beautiful scenery, and a little oven that we’ll be sure to plan for next time! We’ll be back again for sure ❤️

Weekend Trip to Grampy's Red Rock Rabbit Ranch

Fantastic piece of land with an awesome stream. Very chill, and kids caught crawfish, salamanders, and were able to see tons of wildlife. Only downside, ticks.

Weekend Trip to Bald Eagle Campsite

We booked this site on a whim after deciding to go camping last minute for Memorial Day weekend. Linda and Janet are the kindest hosts! We were greeted upon around arrival, given a lay of the land, and directed to our campsite. She had lots of wonderful information to share. The vegetation is thick, which made our campsite feel private and well shaded. The bathhouse was VERY clean and well stocked. Overall this is such a gorgeous campground with a beautiful stream rolling through it and beautiful foliage. There are some gorgeous sites along the stream. The only downside is that the road noise is a little much, but it did quiet down in the late evenings and early morning - we were able to listen to the stream while inside our tent..DREAMY! This was a bit of a hike for us, about a 4 hour drive from home, so I doubt we’ll return, but I’m so glad we camped here. Linda and Janet are great hosts!

Weekend Trip to Bald Eagle Campsite

It is a nice place for tent camping but not for trailers...I did like the property with running brooks...bath houses were fine for me but not everyone would say the same...no dump station...

The River's Edge campsites sit on the shoreline of the Delaware River at the western edge of New York State overlooking the mountains of Pennsylvania. Our canvas tents and open air platforms perch between the river and the former Delaware & Hudson Canal which was once was used to transport raw goods by barge to New York City via the 'port' of Port Jervis. The remnants of the canal walls are throughout the property including a 300 person theater which we created to both preserve and feature this industrial history. It also makes a great place for an event or a movie night. Today, the original canal towpath, along which barges would be pulled and floated downstream, is a trail that links all of the campsites over 5 acres and at the furthest end an eel fishing camp that is in operation from June to October (say 'hi' to Jim). In the early 1900s, the train replaced the canal as the primary method of moving goods into New York and if you are lucky — you will hear the train rumble by along the river on the Pennsylvania side. There is something spectacular in the absolute still and grandness of the river, the mountains and the ongoing industrial history of the valley. It is a reminder of the way things used to be. The farmhouse and cabins are located opposite the campsites on other side of route 97. Next to them are 50 acres of wild forest to hike and explore. These accommodations are great for guests who want more amenities but still with easy access to river. Pair campsites and cabins so that all your guests have their best experience. Contact us to coordinate for larger group bookings.

Greene Kitchen Farm

3 sites · RVs, Tents96 acres · Bloomsburg, PA

Greene Kitchen Farm has been farmed by the Greene family since 2013. If you step back in time a few owners, the Kitchen family with 8 boys and a girl farmed the land that surrounds the little tributary to Montour Run. The Greenes have been pasturing the majority of the land in nature's image with an eye toward biomimicry and an agro-forestal, savannah landscape. The herbivores pulse through the landscape with flocks of birds following them. Since the livestock have been fenced out of the creek, a little jewel of a wildlife refuge traverses the farm from northwest to southeast. This riparian zones shades the creek, protects the water quality, and provides great habitat for coyotes, minks, eagles, white-tailed deer, groundhogs, hawks, squirrels, woodcock, and a variety of songbirds. Greene Kitchen Farm camp sites are situated on this varied section of brook. Learn more about this land:Bring your tent or park your pop-up along the spring at Greene Kitchen Farm. Livestock will be fenced in just in view, and the birds will serve as your alarm clock. Your site will be the last stop on a mowed path through the hollow nestled between the spring and the woods.
