Private sites
100% of recent Hipcampers say the sites felt private.
There are four campsites located in the gap of the little Mahanoy Mountain and line Mountain range along the little Mahanoy creek. All four campsites have creek access and come with picnic table garbage can and fire ring and Firewood is usually available. There are two Porta potty‘s one located at each end of the sites. There are trails for hiking which extends along a abandoned railroad bed and also up into State game lands and into the deep woods. The hiking in the woods is on an incline. But the hiking on the railroad bed is pretty unintense. There is parking at each site. The sites are spread out along the creek bed ranging from more of a rustic primitive tent camping on site 4 to an open site on site 1.

Lovely Creekside Camping
Mark was very accommodating, helpful, and communicative. We enjoyed walking our dogs on the short trail and swimming in the swimming hole. It's a beautiful, secluded spot in the woods along a creek. The porta-potty was also clean and well-maintained. We stayed in site 4, and the only downside was the very steep incline down to the site, which was pretty slippery in the rain and made loading/unloading our gear a bit of a workout. There is a log railing and a few stairs, which helped, but if any one in your group has mobility issues, one of the other sites would be a better fit. But it's also closest to the creek and the hill offers good protection from the wind and a little more privacy from the trail! We really enjoyed our stay!

Worth the drive to rt.225
This serene property is beautiful and spacious, and it was the perfect spot to tent camp in the Valley. The campsites offer a range of accessibility but all are reasonable and are directly next to the creek. We stayed at site 4, which was wonderful and had direct access to a shallow part of the creek. Mark provides wood, a trash bin, picnic table, and cooking grates for over the fire- all extremely appreciated. The area was clean and quiet, and we even got a drive by visit from some kayakers! Mark & Family, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful property and hosting us for a great vacation! We hope to visit again soon.

Quiet and beautiful
Loved the area. It was very quiet and nice to just hang out at the campfire and listen to the creek flow. There's plenty of areas to hike and explore. Mark was also nice enough to lend us a splitting axe for our firewood. Will definitely stay here again.
