Your stay in the treehouse is off–grid, thoroughly insulated and heated by a wood-burning stove, also we do supply you with a Jackery 1000 lithium battery generator to power the shower, or to charge your phone or laptop. We also use a composting toilet for the cleanest and most environmentally sensitive relationship to the surroundings.
You will learn firsthand what off–grid glamping is like…and that includes a hot-water shower.
We will supply you with bed linens, towels, bath soap, shampoo, plates, cups, utensils, at least 2 1/2 gallons of fresh drinking water, pots and pans, grill utensils, salt and pepper, paper towels, a sink and dish soap, dish towels, toilet tissue, hand sanitizer, a camping percolating coffee pot, coffee cups, a flashlight, and some firewood (for the mini wood stove—see amenity limitations).
Mobile phone service is definitely adequate for working from a tree. :-)

the camp site is just a short walk up the beautiful road

Peace & Quiet by the River!

My farm is just beautiful.  I have owned it for 46 years and am proud as can be of its beauty and serenity. Welcome to our perfect outdoor haven, a beautiful 150 acre farm, providing an extraordinary escape from the hustle and bustle of our modern world.  Two of our exclusive campsites are located on the banks of the Little Schuylkill River, with the world-renowned Hawk Mountain Sanctuary boarding on the other side of the river.  The third site, has an open view of Hawk Mountain and the farm, to say nothing of the full sky view.. Our private, exclusive campsites, easily encompassing about 5 acres at each site and surrounded by the 150 acre farm, are designed to take advantage of the natural surroundings. Here you will find yourself off grid and alone with nature.  Imagine yourself pitching your tent along the river or on the hill top, viewing countless birds of prey and all types of wildlife with no other folks around, except for your people.

The location could not be better or more private. Our family for years have camped and played at these site, enjoying the river and night sounds. We are a working Christmas Tree farm as well. Truly private camping, not a commercial camp ground. Very few camping sites exist where you can just have your own space, but you may have it here. My family are stewards to this wonderful farm, and are thrilled to share it with you.  We want you to chill and to find tranquility, to respect our sites and make memories that are treasured.

Details:

We will consider 1 night stays for weekdays, please contact for availability and pricing. 

We will also consider more than 8 campers. Please inquire!

Because we are a tree farm, we cannot allow you to bring wood from other locations on to the farm.  Wood is for sale here and we request a pre order so we can have it ready at your site.  You may purchase through Hipcamp or directly from us.  

All sites have a picnic table, a Hawk Shadow Out House, water to wash things, a preparation table and a good bundle of kindling to start off your camping experience.  There Is a shovel, cooking grates, log benches and a neat campfire ring. Potable water is available at the farm and you may refill when needed. 

Campsite #1 (Lean To Site)

Camp Blackbird

*Dear Campers, due to circumstances beyond our control, we will not be hosting during the 2024 season. Sharing our land with you and providing a space to create memories that will hopefully last a lifetime has been a great joy to us. 
Thank you for spending time with us and, as always, happy camping. Sarah and Stein *

Camp Blackbird is a 28 acre property that runs along Beltzville State Park in Carbon County, PA.  So besides the camp, there is an additional 3,002-acres of state park to explore. There are a total of 2 sites. 

The land was vacant for decades and unfortunately used to dump household garbage during that time. We cleaned up the land, built a home and bat habitat. We, Sarah and Stein, always disliked renting a camp site somewhere and then ending up on top of people.

 So it was our goal to make space on our land for campers like us that want to be surrounded by nature, not other camp sites. 

A portion of the proceeds from your stay will be donated to bat habitat conservation and bat sanctuaries around the world.

We are grateful for the hundreds of campers that have stayed with us. Thank you to all of you that have left a clean site and not made unnecessary noise that would disturb the countless species that share the forest with us. Also, Thank You for patronizing local businesses while you are here.  

We'll give you a map so you can see where to take a short walk to get to the lake.

 There are miles of hiking trails a few minutes walk from your campsite.

 Beltzville Lake is a great place for paddling.  The boat launch is just a few minutes drive from Camp.

In addition to the beautiful immediate surroundings, we are centrally located near many exciting destinations. Year round activities at Blue Mountain Resort, adventure on The Appalachian Trail, fine dining, biking the rail trail and whitewater rafting in Jim Thorpe, all within a 25 minute drive.

The property is not suitable for parties or events.

The area is a QUIET ZONE. Ideal for people looking to unplug from it all and become one with nature. It is teaming with wildlife and is ideal for birding.

The hosts mission is to disturb wildlife and its habitats as little as possible.

VERY IMPORTANT - NO PARTIES or unregistered guests on the property. There are other campgrounds in the area that are great for people who want to party.

We welcome pets.

Please add your photos! Especially of your dog camping!  Check out the 300+ photos past campers have added. So many of them are dogs camping it up. 

We, the hosts, live on the property about 700 ft from the campsite. We try to have minimal interactions with the guests to ensure privacy and personal space but we're always reachable.

Campsite2 has its own campfire area, picnic table with unlimited water provided. 

A view of the lake from the "chill" spot. This is a 3-minute walk from your site. 

A copy of this map will be on the picnic table for you. On the other side are listed places to get food and have fun. 

Unlimited water and everything you need to have campfires is included. 

Unlimited firewood with everything you need to have campfires is included in your firewood shed. 

You can pull your car right up to here if you want. 

There are two rather flat spots good for pitching your tent. This is the second spot. 

Water is provided. Welcome packet with additional information is also left for you on picnic table.  

Uncle Willie's

Once known as the Middaugh Farm , this property produced Corn, Buckwheat, Pigs, Chickens, and White Clay.  Forced to sell off a northern 70 acre Tract, which is now off the Tax Roles and held by the DOI,  and other non contiguous properties to help maintain the remaining 268 acres, The streams host turtles, crayfish and minnoes.  Deer , Rabbits, Squirrels, Foxes, Chipmunks, Coyotes (not the immigration kind, ) and the occasional Black Bear occupy the area. Named after my Father, who passed October 09 2017.  It is my goal to keep the property undeveloped, and ON the tax rolls through funding via access to members who enjoy the Dwindling Great Outdoors.  I hope to keep this in the family for a few more generations, while sharing the beauty and abundance of nature with others who have little opportunity to experience what I have, growing up in Rural America.
