    Learn more about this land: Our property is located near the tiny village of Glen Hazel, our unique area offers close proximity to many watersports and hiking opportunities. Visitors can watch bald eagles and osprey as you enjoy kayaking, fishing and nature at this primitive campsite. We have just one site. Our campsite is very private and includes a fire ring, a picnic table a trash can and a swing. Parking is available right at the site. It's just a 2 minute walk to the northernmost kayak launch on the East Branch of the Clarion River. Here you will find a public porta potty for use during the summer only. Several small jack dams will make your kayak experience a delight. We have a private 1 acre pond just a stones throw from the campsite that visitors can enjoy. Fishing is permitted in the pond, no license needed. Fly fishermen will enjoy the thrill of catching native and stocked trout in the most beautiful section on the East Branch of the Clarion River (PA fishing license and trout stamp required). Nearby is Bendigo State Park that offers free use of picnic areas and swimming in an immaculately kept pool. Just 1 1/2 miles away is the Dam Inn where you can stop for a beer or for a nice dinner on the deck. Adjacent to the campsite is State Gamelands #25. This enormous tract of public land is open to all for hiking, biking and fishing the pristine native trout streams, including Middle Fork, Crooked Creek and several others. Only a 3 mile drive will land you at the East Branch Lake, a seven mile long lake where you can put your boat in and fish, kayak or water ski to your hearts content.Our property is located near the tiny village of Glen Hazel, our unique area offers close proximity to many watersports and hiking opportunities.

    Susan was a friendly host, the directions were clear, and lots of info on local places was available at the campsite. The location was perfect, it was very quiet, and we enjoyed our stay!!

    Great spot! Easy to find, just off the road but very private and quiet. Loved the swinging chair by the fire pit and the benches by the pond. Porta-potty just a few minute walk down the road. Host was friendly and communicative.

    We loved staying at this site! Cute little secluded getaway! If you love fishing, this is the place to stay! Nice pond right next to the site. Although we got caught it a rain storm, we still made the most of it! Our host was great! Stopped by and said if it got too bad we can always seek shelter there instead! Definitely would come again!

    Beautiful place !
    10 ft campervan
    It was just as described from the reviews we read. Susan stopped by to see if we needed anything. We loved her mailbox with all the little things you might need or you forgot. She had a notebook in there as well so campers could leave a note about their stay. The site was perfect. A little close to the road, but the traffic was very minimal and mostly kayakers. The pond was great and our dogs loved it too...no leashes all weekend ! We will be back !!

    Perfect Campsite
    Tent
    This was such an amazing spot! We loved how close we were to the stream, this campsite is very well named! My husband caught some rainbow trouts on the fly and our pups absolutely loved getting to swim in the stream. Susan was an amazing host. She made sure to let me know about a meteor shower taking place and even offered to start a campfire for us! I would highly recommend this spot to anyone wanting a peaceful camping spot in this area!
