Let your children and dogs roam free without a leash. This property is remote and private. There are no neighbors nearby. This location is; twenty minutes north of I-76 Turnpike Willow Hill Exit forty-five minutes from Raystown Lake one hour and thirty minutes north of Gettysburg one hour and thirty minutes south of PSU three hours east of Pittsburgh three hours west of Philadelphia five hours west of NYC There is some cell service, but it is limited. Can you hear me now? Be sure to save site information on your phone before you leave, in case you lose cell-service. This is not Alaska, but it is not a KOA campground, either. We recommend you print of bring a paper map. Your GPS will not bring you to the exact driveway location. You need to be personally observant. This is the top of a mountain ridge. The access lane is steep, rocky, and has water erosion ditches you must drive over. Do not attempt this if you have a low profile car or a new/fragile camper. 4WD/AWD is highly recommended. Low profile and fancy cars are not recommended. This is not Alaska, but it is not a paved KOA campground, either. This camping site is for those who want to live ruggedly like Lewis Clark. It is NOT for those who like their campground to be like The Villages of Florida where everything is flat, paved over, and you drive golf carts. This location is in a mix of farmland and mountain Appalachia. You will see common species such as chipmunks, squirrels turkey and deer. Many bird species. There are also porcupines, skunks, and black snakes around. You may also see black bear - it is rare, but possible. You are visiting wildlife species in their natural habitat. Please be self-aware of your own level comfort with wildlife. Once again, this is not an RVs park where you will socialize with a hundred other campers. This is primitive and isolated. This is an ideal camping spot if you want to escape from people. Nearby is the Tuscarora Creek which is excellent for trout fishing. The Tuscarora has a small but lovely window for kayaking from mid-March through the end of May. Please contact the host if you would like help to plan some paddle logistics.When my father died in 2020 I removed this shed before we sold my childhood home. It measures 8' x 10' and you may use as you please. It has two 50amp outlets, one 30amp outlet, and normal 110 house outlets to. This is the top of a mountain ridge. The access lane is steep, rocky and has water erosion ditches you must drive over. Do not attempt this if you have a low profile car or a fragile camper. This is not Alaska, but it is not a paved KOA campground, either. This camping site is for those who want to live ruggedly like Lewis and Clark, or Teddy Roosevelt. It is NOT for those who like their campground to be like The Villages of Florida where everything is flat and you drive golf carts. AWD or 4WD is highly recommended. For your own benefit, please arrive in the day time with sunlight. Make sure you have looked at a map ahead of time. There are dead zones for cell service here, and GPS frequently fails to find the site. Free campfire wood; you may use anything on the ground. A propane grill is provided at no extra charge, plastic containers filled with drinkable well water - although there may be some forest dirt particles. A porta-potti is on-site, too. You will not have to talk to anyone, but bring all that you need because there are no stores nearby. There is a clear night sky east and south for astronomy. You may walk and explore freely as long as you do not cross the well-painted white property lines. Twenty acres is tall forest, thirty acres is newly logged regrowth brush, and ten acres is crop field. Rental through Hipcamp does not include hunting or the use of firearms. No consent is given to such activities, and nor is consent implied. People enjoy seeing wildlife in a relaxed state, and your payment to this campsite contributes to maintaining a wildlife conservation area. Anyone caught hunting on this private property will be charged under the PA Crime Code Title 34, Chapter 23, Section 2314. Do not inquire about hunting. The answer is NO.

Tent · With pets

Great spot to get away from everything with amazing views. It’s a dogs paradise! I did see deer the first two days in the lower part of the field. The last night at dusk, I heard several turkeys but didn’t see them. There’s a swing that would be perfect for morning sunrise and coffee. The host is very kind and readily available. Can’t wait to go back.

Camped with Our Pups!

Tent

This was my first stay with hipcamp and it was amazing! My husband and I will definitely be back to Wilbur’s Shed with our pups. The road up is definitely steep and rocky with some small but deep ditches. Definitely recommend 4WD, but wasn’t as bad as we were expecting! Download offline maps on google and you’re good. There isn’t much (ie; stores/activities unrelated to nature) in the surrounding towns/areas and that’s exactly how we like it. There was a fire pit, port a potty, 2 picnic tables & the shed (big enough for us to camp up in, tho we used a tent) all of which were so useful. The host, Wesley, left lots of firewood for us to use which helped a TON with the unusually cold weather we had. He also greeted us shortly after we arrived and was so nice and welcoming! (even though our dogs all barked at him… sorry again, Wesley! lol) Our city dogs had the time of their lives running all over the giant site. They had so much room to roam and didn’t even get near the property lines because they had so much room by where we set up. I worried about wildlife (and my dogs seeing it lol) but we didn’t happen to see anything but birds for the 4 days we were there. Cannot recommend Wilbur’s Shed enough, 10/10 experience!

15 ft pop-up camper

Exactly as described and we loved it! It’s the perfect area, not far from the turnpike so an easy drive from the Philly area. First place I have stayed that offered electricity and it was so appreciated since we were winter camping and needed a heater. Port-a-potty was a nice added convenience too. We loved sitting in the shed watching the snow fall. Look forward to returning in the spring.
