A gorgeous property at the foot of a mountain with the Elk Run creek edging the back private area, provides hours of relaxation listen to the stream, fishing and wading in the creek. Huge maple trees where a maple sugar shack was once on the property provides a wooded area by the stream where you can set up a tent or sleep in hammocks and listen to the stream. We are renovating a barn into a large beautiful house will be available soon. We provide a picnic table, fire ring and fire wood. There could be two sites, one has electric and both have water. If you are camping together, contact me for additional information and fee for more than on RV or additional tents. Bring a water filter, water is safe but has the sulfur smell. A charcoal filter is recommended. The circular driveway provides easy access. Toy hauler or horse trailers welcome. ATV can get in the DCNR connector trail right from the driveway. Hunters are welcome to hunt the many acres of public land in the area. Not permitted on our property. There is wildlife including bear, deer and Turkey we often see ducks, eagles, gross beaks, and cardinals just to name a few. This is the place to come to park you RV and retreat to the creek in back of property if you want time to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature.Park your RV or vehicle in the stoned area where the electric hookup and water is located. There are two sites but we would only rent second one to people who are camping together. Please contact us for this option. Pay at site for second site or adding a tent. If tent you must bring your own portable toilet. This is a very quiet peaceful area. Please be considerate of our neighbors. Quiet hours after 10:00 PM Please do not block the circle driveway You may also set up a tent or hammocks in the wooded area and still use the water and electric at the site. Creek is in the edge of property. 1/4 mile walk it flows into the Pine Creek. There is a public beach area at the Pine Creek where you can tube, launch at kayak or canoe. People and dogs can also swim at the area. It is at the bridge you cross to get to property. Dirt road next to creek takes you a parking area. ATV trail is at end of driveway.

Peaceful Mountain Stream

Peaceful Mountain Stream offers a serene escape with plenty of space to unwind by the campfire next to the tranquil stream. The host was incredibly welcoming, providing all the firewood we needed and ensuring a comfortable stay with electrical, water hookups, and Wi-Fi. Mornings brought sightings of deer and turkeys, adding to the peaceful atmosphere. We loved the forest path with a bench for reading or relaxing in nature. A short drive to the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon made it easy to explore stunning views and hiking trails.

Our 3rd hip camp adventure

Kathy is super helpful, full of tips for all recreational places to go! The BEST tip was the fishing/swimming holes in the creek just right around the bend, my Newfie had a BLAST swimming there😊!! The property was so beautiful, a short walk to the stream from the site. That particular area is where she puts tent campers… just an amazing place to ‘disappear!’

Beautiful and peaceful!

My stay on Kathy's land was nothing short of spectacular! The area is breathtaking and peaceful. I enjoyed fishing in the creek and being lulled to sleep by a small waterfall. Kathy was easily reachable and responded to messages quickly. Her recommendations of the surrounding area were fantastic!

Not far off the highway on paved road. Nice level gravel parking near the water faucet and electric. Walk behind the house to experience the stream’s babble to relax after your long day on the road.

Peaceful Mountain Stream

Such an amazing weekend to relax and unwind on this beautiful property! We arrived and made the short walk down to the area where we tent camped. Spent a weekend surrounded by wildflowers that smelled amazing, so many birds, and even more butterflies. The site itself had mowed walking trails, and a cute bench in front of waterfall that you can hear cleanly as you fall asleep at night. A quick 2 minute drive to a public area, that was nearly empty, allowed for a small beach area, a gorgeous waterfall, wading area with a deep swimming hole, even more butterflies! The water was so cold but we enjoyed wading, and skipping rocks. Every person we met in town were so welcoming! Toen was about a 5 minute, beautiful drive away. We had breakfast at Mae's Cafe, delicious AND affordable! Nittany gas station had the best munchie food! Their mac and cheese bites had us headed there a few times! Communication with the host was seamless, both through hipcamp, and a phone call on our arrival. Our original plan was to meet my daughter halfway between college and our home for a Birthday weekend, and have our Dog tag along. We didn't end up bringing our pup because we had never been to the area, but we absolutely should have! Next time, for sure!

Very nice property right on atv route but also quiet and peaceful. I would definitely recommend to anyone who doesn't want the crowds of a regular campground. We are looking forward to returning.
