Located just outside of Parker, PA and 25 minutes from I-80, our campsite is very accessible, yet still very remote. With 4 campsites on 75 acres, guests have ample privacy and space, with the freedom to roam this posted property that has no homes on it. Perched high above the Allegheny there are several spots to take in the wonderful views. There is also a waterfall with a 3’ deep pool below it. Great for splashing with kids or dogs, guests love exploring the creek bottom and making new discoveries. The more curious guests sometimes find the ruins of the original homestead, chimney and spring house that sit upstream. The property is teeming with wildlife. Birds and tree frogs will be the soundtrack of your visit, and often deer will be seen nosing along the outskirts of your site in the mornings and evenings. Turkey, bald eagles and even bear are occasionally spotted, so be prepared to secure your food and trash at night. For those coming to disconnect, you have found the right place. But if cell service is needed, you will have enough to get texts out and depending what site you booked, calls and internet as well. For those who seek an electrical outlet AND and EV charger, we have a site for you! We also have a site with a large canvas tent already set up for your convenience. Within a 15 minute drive of your campsite you can find The North Country Trail, Rails to Trails Trailheads and Boat Launches on the Allegheny River, Groceries, dining and beer.

Open Field Site, Stargazers Welcome

We had a great trip at this Hipcamp! Chris was very hospitable and we were pleasantly surprised for him to offer us a golf cart to explore the property. We enjoyed the view from our site. We also enjoyed exploring the old farm house on the property and fishing in the pond! We plan a visit back and will be checking out the other site on the property as well! P.S. We did a video of this Hipcamp on our YouTube channel, En Route with Chuck & Cherie if you want to check out this beautiful property for yourselves!!

River Ridge

I can’t say enough about this beautiful location. The site is situated right over the river valley and the views don’t disappoint. There are tons of trails to explore and the nearby river has a great access points. Chris was quick to reply and extremely helpful. I’m already looking forward to the next time I can make it back.

Open Field Site, Stargazers Welcome

An absolutely beautiful site. Very easy to access and a very short walk to the compost toilet. Lots of wood to scavenge but if that’s not your thing they did have wood to purchase.
