White Squirrel Campsite
Beautiful space with scenic views. Would recommend AWD minimum if ground is wet.

Amazing views, even better sunsets!
Absolutely amazing spot!! Located on top of a hill, in the middle of a field, you’ll find yourself speechless as you crest the top of the mowed pathway to find amazing views of mountains and river from high atop. 360 degree views will demand your attention! Sit back and relax as the sun sets directly in front of you over the mountain tops. I was completely taken by this spot. I had no idea it was going to be so peaceful and beautiful. If your in this area, or even if your not, make your way here and take advantage of it! I’m definitely coming back, and you should too!! I can’t say enough good things about it! Awesome!

The view!
An excellent evening! We were only able to spend one night due to weather, so we decided to take my 5-year old nephew on his first camping trip. It was a great first experience for him. Pristine bathrooms an easy walk away, amazing views, deer running through our camp, solar lights to keep the area warmly lit overnight, and even a fireworks show at Fort Halifax! Can’t wait to go back.

Camping with GREAT Views
I loved the tent camping site at White Squirrel. It left us with a beautiful sunset and sunrise in Halifax and the views of the river and surrounding towns were amazing. It also had other conveniences like a bathroom and a shower plus a basketball court. Audra was a great host as well with fantastic communication and helping us with all our needs and questions. I would highly recommend staying here and will book it again.

More Than A Place To Pitch A Tent
The White Squirrel Campsite is a circular, breathtaking, hilltop patch of mowed grass, surrounded by wheat that's four feet tall (in mid July at least), nestled high above the Susquehanna River, close by the Appalachian Trail, and less than thirty minutes from the state capital!
This land is invigorating, whether you'd like to frolic and reconnect with nature or cook s'mores around a campfire with your family (when there's not a fire ban in effect, only you can prevent wildfires!), the land is versatile and can fit all your needs. This is by far the most beautiful place that I've slept outside in, in the state of PA.
My favorite part of my time on this land was the view - it is nearly 360 degrees of clear skyline to the mountains. I was able to see both the sunrise and the sunset from this campsite, that's rare! Of course also a beautiful view of the river.
I drove with ease (although it required a bit of gusto) to the site in a two wheel drive, manual, Nissan Juke. There's both chunky rock gravel and mowed wild land that you will need to traverse, but nothing outrageous and all passable.
Audra is the friendliest and most informative Hipcamp host I've had the pleasure of interacting with. She is a great host and incredibly kind. You won't be wondering for directions or have any uncertainties on her property. I felt entirely safe and secluded at this site.
I look forward to camping here again - this land is the destination and I will be back. Thank you Audra!!!
