Our property consists of 20 acres of the beautiful Blue Mountain. At the Lookout you can see for 40 Miles across the valley below. With views from Allentown, Lyons and Reading. The area with the view is a shared area for both sites. Feel free to use the fire ring while you sit and watch the evening sky. It is breathtaking at night. At the bottom of the mountain there is a Gunclub with a shooting range and you will hear shooting from the property. Please note it is far away and there is no danger Our property is mostly the mountain side. But with an area that is flat for tent camping. The property is close to Route 309 but there is a camping area away from the road. Our land is next to the road and you will hear some road noise. We are next to National Parks land which also consists of the Appalachian Trail and also against the Pennsylvania Game Lands. You can walk up the street or trail to Thunderhead Lodge Restaurant. Leaser lake is a short drive if you like fishing or kayaking. The Wanamakers Store is a unique place to visit with amazing sandwiches. The Wanamakers and Kemton railroad is close by for a weekend train ride. Bear Rock Junction is close by for mini golf and ice cream. Eight Oaks Distillery is only a few minutes away. Several wineries and antique shops as well. You may also see Appalachian Trail Thru Hikers come thru our property to stay at the hostel. Please welcome our hikers as they come to rest their weary bodies. Welcome to the Lookout. We have made many improvements to our land but also try to maintain the beauty it is. We plan to keep upgrading our property. We plan to use the land for Recreational activites. We have a Hiker Hostel in the Building. The Building was previously the Blue Mountain Lookout Restaurant but has been neglected for approximately 20 years. We are trying to restore the property to bring it back to life.

Camping @ Site 1

We loved camping on Geln and Bern's land! The site was very spacious with room for a hamack tent, 6 person tent and a mini van. The glass wasn't a bother, the pieces weren't sharp and it was contained to one area of the site, the close vacinity to the road was also not as disturbing as we inticapated especially at night when traffic calmed . We loved the quick access to the Appalachian trail and the views from the lookout are bueatiful!

The Lookout Site 1

The site was great! It was close to the Appalachian trail which was an awesome hike and a short drive from other attractions (Bear Rock Junction, Leaser Lake, etc…) Firewood was close by to the site and reasonably priced. There was a working restroom close to the site also which was great. Despite being close to the highway the site felt very private. Bernadette was a great host. She gave us great tips about where to go hiking and exploring when she greeted us. I recommend this site.

It was good.

It was good. Things to improve are: - Clarify that the clear/amazing view is not in-front campsite number 2. - The portable toilet is full of spiders and can’t be used. Even in the actual seat is cover in webs.
