River Mountain Outdoors

5 sites · Lodging, Tents83 acres · Bloomsburg, PA
The history of the Pump House began in 1878, when three ambitious men hatched a plan for the world's first long-distance underground oil pipeline which would transport oil from well to refinery more quickly and efficiently than the horse-drawn wagons of the time. Pumping stations were needed every fifty miles along this long route to keep pressure on the pipeline so that the oil could reach its destination. Pump House Bed and Breakfast is one of the only properties in the country in which the both the original homes of the foremen and the large brick buildings remain. Doug, owner, has spent more than 20 years lovingly restoring these foreman houses as well as the large industrial brick buildings. The Brick Barn Hall once housed steam pumps to pressurize the pipe and keep the oil moving, and the Catawissa Cabin behind it served as the telegraph office. The Studio Hall contained boilers that produced the steam to power the pumps, while the adjoining Studio Cabin functioned as a blacksmith's workspace. Today, the buildings function as reception spaces for weddings and other special events, and house private suites as well as an art studio where Doug pursues his work and teaches drawing, ceramics, and stained glass classes. The Season House, one of the two foreman homes, features additional guest accommodations while Doug resides in the other foreman house. Visit and experience a piece of PA history!

The best camping near Hickory Run State Park guide

Overview

About

Less than a 2-hour drive from Philadelphia, Hickory Run State Park is a popular recreation area throughout the year. Summer activities include disc golf, biking, and exploring the boulder-covered Boulder Field (a National Natural Landmark), while cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are popular in winter. The park is also great for hiking with 40 miles of trails, including the popular Hawk Falls Trail, which leads to a 25-foot waterfall, and the Shades of Death Trail, which gives hikers access to a mic of waterfalls and dams. Hickory Run Park Campground features a variety of tent and RV sites, some with full hookups, plus picnic tables, fire rings, and flush toilets.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. You can reserve a spot at Hickory Run State Park by calling Pennsylvania State Parks or via their website.
  2. Reservations for campsites, cabins, and cottages open 11 months in advance and remain open until noon on the date of arrival.
  3. Unreserved sites are made available on a first-come, first-served basis and are released at noon when advance reservations close. Arrive in the early afternoon to increase your chances of snagging a spot.
  4. The park has two group cabin camping areas and 13 group tenting sites. These are usually used by scouts and other groups, and can be reserved directly through the park office.

When to go

Hickory Run State Park is open throughout the year, but most visitors come from spring through early fall. During this period, parking lots for day-use visitors often fill up early, even on weekdays, so it’s wise to arrive as early as you can. Camping is available from the second Friday in April until the middle of December. The dump station and other facilities that use water close for the year on the third Sunday in October.

Know before you go

  • You can pick up food, firewood, ice, and basic supplies at the on-site camp store or by driving to the town of Albrightsville, a 10-minute drive away.
  • Alcohol is prohibited at Hickory Run and at all other Pennsylvania state parks.
  • Hickory Run is in bear country, so campers must keep all food, toiletries, and cooking supplies in bear-safe areas. Garbage should be thrown in designated bear-proof dumpsters.
