Amazing views
Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
Starting September 2023 we have no services. Water jugs will NOT be provided, firewood will not be at the site and you are to take your trash with you. This in exchange for lower prices. Please follow the principles of "Leave no Trace" There is firewood available, but you have to haul it to the campsite. Private campsite, only one group at a time. Enjoy the quiet beauty with trails are good for hiking. 40+ acre plot of land across located between town of Palmerton and Blue Mountain Ski Area. A vacation home rental is on half the land, the other half is set aside for a private camp site, the two separated by a stream with waterfalls. You cannot park at the site, no trailers or vehicles at the campsite. Campsite is remote and only reachable by a trail. Pack light as you will have a 10-15 minute hike along a rough trail. Nearby activities include: - Hiking on Appalachian trail (Lehigh Gap - Blue Mountain - Wind Gap) - Ski, Mountain Bike, Ropes Courses, Laser Tag and more at the 4 season Blue Mountain Ski Resort - Bike and walking along at Lehigh Gap Nature Center and along D&L Trail (Lehigh Gap - Bowmanstown) - Shopping, dining and tours in the historic town of Jim Thorpe, also with Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway - Kayak, Whitewater raft or tube in Lehigh River (Jim Thorpe, Bowmanstown, Slatington) - Swim, boat or enjoy the beach at Beltzville Lake State Park (with boat rentals) - Climb, hike around Lehigh Gorge State Park in Jim Thorpe - See concerts at Penn's Peak - Play Paintball at Skirmish - plus Pocono attractions are only a half hour away.

Excellent piece of land! Don't pack heavy bags the hike in is up hill and easy with a few lighter bags. Very large camp with great views! I'll definitely be coming back!

BEAUTIFUL SITE!
This site was THE ideal campsite! With its beautiful grassy, rocky, piney hilltop landscape, there were so many areas to set up and lounge around. It's breathtakingly beautiful up there! I'm personally averse to rain and wet while camping, so we left after a super heavy squall on the first day, but I intend to book this site in better weather again and again. As everyone else has mentioned, the trek up to the site isn't the most pleasant if you have lots of stuff, but it's 100% worth it for the end result. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Truly a secluded and isolating camp
This campsite was amazing! It was the first campsite I’ve found on Hipcamp that was truly secluded and isolated. My partner and I did not see or hear anybody the entire weekend of our trip, as there is only one campsite and it is very secluded from any neighbors or road/traffic noise. It was truly a much needed getaway to unplug from society. The views were beautiful as well, and the site was very spacious. There was also plenty of firewood provided and two hammocks which were great for true relaxation amidst a magnificent view. There was also a canopy and three picnic tables available, as well as chairs around the campfire. The site felt very welcoming and relaxing. I definitely recommend this site if you want a secluded and isolated camp. The camp was also easy to find and the host provides very thorough directions. The hike up to the site was not the easiest, even with the provided wagons, as it is rocky and uphill, so try to pack light and take multiple trips if necessary. However, the walk is only about 10 mins. This site is a gem and I would definitely come back in the future.
