Welcome to our little slice of heaven along Pine Creek at the southern end of the "PA Grand Canyon". It is an outdoor lover's dream. The camp lies inside of Tiadaghton State Forest on the west side of Pine Creek in the Pennsylvania Wilds. The property is 5 acres, embedded deep in public land. On the property there is this one very large campsite (approx 100 square ft) for rent and our small cabin. If we are there at the same time as our guests, we share the outhouse and shower, but our guests have their own private picnic table, fire pit and grill on the far side of the property. The area is beautiful for paddling, floating, fishing, hiking, biking, rock skipping, dipping your toes, swimming hole gems, searching for waterfalls, writing retreats. There are hundreds of miles of hiking, mountain bike and ATV trails, and some of the best fishing and stargazing on the East Coast. There is a 62 mile -rails-to-trails that runs along the other side of Pine Creek from Wellsboro to Jersey Shore, PA. Our camp is located on a secluded hill - a relaxing oasis removed from the rest of the world - read a book in a hammock, build campfires, grill yummy food, let the kids run around like crazy, play a lot of cards. It a 2 minute walk from the property to public access to Pine Creek. It is a 45 minute drive to paddle the Western Branch of the Susquehanna near Lock Haven, PA.Pitch a tent or two, pull up your RV deep into the deep calm of a ferns, Red Pines and Sycamores. The sound of a rushing creek in the background will lull you into deep calm. Hang a hammock, cook on a campfire and get ready to escape the world. You will be staying on far side of a 1 acre mowed yard, surrounded by woods on three sides, opening to the grassy area. The grassy area is great for kid play and is nestled in wooded mountains. You are a 2 minutes walk to Pine Creek with full public access. Trout Run flows into Pine Creek here so it is a great place to fish! We welcome everyone - all races, genders, sexualities, abilities, languages. It is a sanctuary for all to enjoy. Note: There is also a cabin on the property that we stay at. If we are there, we'll come say hi! But, we assume you are there for quiet and will give you plenty of space. If we do overlap, we will share the outhouse and outdoor shower. You have your own firepit and picnic table. Feel free to message with questions.

Great little spot!
Boyfriend and I stayed here just to get away, cute little property right on the mountain! Zero cell phone reception which we knew beforehand, but there is WiFi on site which was nice. Will most likely be back in the summer to utilize the creek next time. The ground seemed to be a bit soft, don’t recommend bringing a vehicle here with low tire tread.

I loved tent camping here. It was quiet, the directions were clear, and having access to the pit toilet, sink, and shower was a plus. It rained when I visited, and the road to get there was muddy, but my SUV did fine! I would definitely camp here again.

We (3 people, one tent, one cat) had so much fun camping on Katharine’s land! It was so quiet and all you could hear was the forest, especially at night. It was the perfect quiet spot to just unplug. We were able to cook over the fire, and there was a garden hose we could use for washing our dishes. You have to bring your own wood or take advantage of all the down wood! There was plenty of down wood for two nights and we even had leftover to leave. You hear the creek slightly but it is such a short walk if you want to explore. Just such a cute little piece of paradise. We went with a minivan and we were okay for the most part but 4WD is definitely recommended. The driveway is a hill so sometimes it can get muddy and it took us a second to get up but it could totally depend on the weather.

Peace in Pine Creek Valley
We loved tent camping at Camp Skipping Rock! Beautiful, peaceful, private and quiet setting. It's nice that the property sits up from the road and is surrounded by mature trees. Walking to the creek within minutes was such an added bonus that we absolutely loved. The outdoor shower was awesome, and the view from the outhouse amazing! Can't wait to visit again!

Nice quiet spot. Great picnic table and fire ring. Lots of level and dry ground. Outdoor shower was much appreciated.

We had a great time! The property was clean, well maintained and beautiful! We arrived after dark so the drive on the gravel road was a bit intimidating, but the directions provided led us there without issue! A great place to go to escape for a bit - we’ll definitely be back!
