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. 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, or Teddy Roosevelt. 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. Twenty minutes south is Big Spring State Park which has an abandoned RR tunnel form the late 1800s. Forty-five minutes away is the 1,000 steps near Mt. Union which is part of the Standing Stone Trail that runs from Cowan’s Gap State Park to PSU. The Steps provides and amazing view of the Juniata River, and is a strenuous heart work-out. If you are interested in historic trains, East Broad Top Railroad is in Mt. Union. If members of your party would like a more pampered camping experience that includes real beds and hot showers, there is an adjoining property for rent on air b and b. Google search for The Crowe's Lounge.When my father died in 2020 I removed this shed before we sold my childhood home. It measures 8' x 10' and you may sleep in it on a bad weather night (or a good weather night). Currently, it is three sided with the front open that you may use as you please. It has two 50amp outlets, one 30amp outlet, and normal 110 house outlets to. Free campfire wood; you may use anything on the ground. Also included: picnic table with six plastic chairs are included, 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. 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 & 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. If you want to escape from humanity, this sixty acre ridge top is secluded and private. Let your dogs and children run free. You will not have to talk to anyone. You will not even have to deal with the property owner. 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. You are welcome to bring horses, but please keep them out of the crop-field.

Our group rented both the airbnb and the property listed on hipcamp. Words cannot fully express how much we enjoyed our stay. The property has gorgeous views with lots of space for hiking and the ability to experience nature. We did not see anyone during our stay. The hosts have clearly put a lot of thought into creating a welcoming and comfortable space. It was rainy during our stay but between the campsite and the house we still had an absolute blast. The seclusion and tranquility offered are truly unparalleled. We didn't see any sasquatch but we hope to come back for future opportunities 😊.

Relaxing in the Rain!!

I loved camping at Wilbur's shed!! It rained the whole time, so we decided to set up in the shed instead of our tent, since it was off the ground and dry, it worked great. The sound of the rain hitting the tin roof was very relaxing, snuggled up with a good book looking out onto the beautiful property. I would recommend going rain or shine!!

All inclusive camp site

Great spot with a great view. Came for two days with my wife and we really enjoyed it. Everything you need is on site, including electrical outlets and 50 gallons of water. The porterapot was clean and very convenient. If you do stay at Wilburs, make the drive to trough state park. It's an hour drive but very scenic and the park is beautiful. Would highly recommend.

Perfect getaway spot

Great star gazing spot. Sure horizon light pollution but we got lots of great dso imaging. Wonderful sunrises too. Quiet, clean, and friendly host. Trucks, jeeps and 4x4 are a good idea. We put this spot on our return to list

Beautiful and secluded

Very excellent secluded camp spot, perfect for getting away from civilization for a little with some friends. There were 8 of us total and it was a pretty good fit. I’m very happy that some plastic chairs were provided in the shed, as we forgot to bring some ourselves. Two of my friends slept in a hammock and we set up 2 tents comfortably to sleep in. Not even to mention the views that this place provides, both the Mountain views and the stargazing views. If you’re looking for a chill spot to spend the night stargazing, I don’t think you’ll find a better spot than this in the area.

Great private quiet site

We enjoyed our time camping at this site. Wesley is very friendly checked on us the first day, but otherwise we didn't see another person for our entire stay. Having power and a Porta potty added just enough to make the stay easy to manage. Looking forward to returning again in the future.
