All to yourself

95% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

This spot is best for a van camp location but plenty of space for tents and hammocks. You'll find a drive-up deck if you wish to park there. Firewood is available providing you use downfalls as kindling in the stone fire pit. A 8x20' deck and picnic table are 20 feet from the fire for stargazing. When the ferns are full grown they are 3 feet tall and everywhere. A 10 minute walk takes you through a dense pine forest with large rock formations and a nice creek with many gurgling fall areas. If there looks like a cave amongst the large rocks, then it probably is a bear den. There is a lot to do near by. Some note worthy locations : Cranberry Glade Lake (good for kayaking or fishing), Ohiopyle, 7 Springs, Fallingwater, Living Treasures, Caddie Shak, and Hidden Valley are all about 25 minutes away. This property also borders Laurel Ridge State Park. There is a Dollar General and a gas station about 15 minutes away for convenience needs.This spot is best for a van camp location but plenty of space for tents and hammocks.

Great getaway

Tent

Had an amazing time at Jim's property. A neighbor was playing music till 3am but I didn't mind since I was taking in the lunar eclipse. Still felt very secluded even without all the foliage filled in. Also enjoyed a small hike down to the creek which is just a short distance away. I will definitely return as often as I can! Thank you Jim!

Camping in the Mountains

Very nice, secluded spot in a wooded area of the mountains! Few neighbors could be heard, but were very quiet once the sun went down.

Nice camping location with plenty of space for tent setups and hammock setups. The firepit is setup well and plenty of kindling on the ground. Good amount of space to hike and explore and check out the local creek and large rock formations. There is a house about 50 yards away that can be noisy with dogs barking, kids yelling and a dirt bike, but that's not the host's fault at all. The nights were very quiet and peaceful. The parking spot has a clearing for star gazing but otherwise plenty of shade from the trees over the firepit.

Great location! We were able to spend the day at Ohiopyle and also visit Fallingwater both a short distance from the site. Very private. A little tricky to find (long driveway) and you need a vehicle with high clearance to navigate the I paved road to the site but totally worth it. We will be back!
