Doriath Springs Site 4

What a wonderful little getaway!

Sarah was a great host and her property was idillic and serene. There are four total campsites, but we were lucky enough to have them all to ourselves. We appreciated the dog run, where we let our dog sniff around off leash when we first arrived. Some reviews state that the creek is freezing (it is!); however, once you get further into the river into deeper water, it's so much warmer! It was a great place to take a morning dip with our dog. The outhouse was very clean and the property is well maintained. There is an option to purchase firewood, which we did not need, but appreciated it nonetheless. I would 10/10 recommend this place to anyone, particularly groups that may be looking for a serene and quiet campsite together.

We had a great time here on Sarah’s land. The campsite and amenities were well kept and the view was beautiful at sunset. Thank you again Sarah for hosting a great getaway for us and we will be back soon.

Right off the bike trail

Beautiful spot right on the river. No shade on site #4, but we got in later in the day and it was perfect to be warmed by the sun. River access for swimming. Saw a great blue heron fly over the river, heard the chatter of king fishers and saw a deer swim across the river in the morning. We were bike packing, and this hip camp is conveniently, right on the the Pierre Marquette Rail Trail. Just 2 miles from Hershey, so after we got set up and had a swim, just a short bike ride to dinner.

Absolute gem! The property is super nice, Sarah was very friendly, and the site is secluded (about 100' away from the next closest site) from the other 3 on the property. Also being right on the river was a huge plus. The dogs and ourselves had a great time and already plan to come back next year!

Family camp review

Such a beautiful little spot. We enjoyed our stay and so did the kiddos. The site was gorgeous and we loved being right on the creek. I somehow missed that there wasn’t a picnic table, but we made it work. So grateful to Sarah for hosting us. It really was a fantastic weekend.
