Secluded and Breathtaking Views
White Squirrel Overlook is an amazing addition to the Hipcamp community. Located in the rural hills of Halifax, PA, the camp site sits atop the peak of a hill, offering guests a uninterrupted 360 degree view of the countryside and the mighty Susquehanna River. Getting to the campsite can be tricky in adverse weather conditions without 4WD, as the path leading to the site is up a steep, unpaved grade.
White Squirrel Overlook has a few amenities available to guests that make the camping experience unique. The site has a pergola-eque structure that offers shade and cover from bad weather. Along with that, 4 hammock chairs are affixed to the structure facing the Susquehanna that were wonderful to swing in while taking in the views. The site does not allow ground camp fires at this time, however they provide a smokeless fire pit that does the job. Adjacent to the overlook, White Squirrel has a large event pavilion that campers are allowed to use. The complex is about a 5 minute walk down the hill and is complete with clean bathroom facilities, hot showers, a fully functional kitchen and basketball/pickleball court and baseball diamond.
Overall, if you and your camping buddies are looking for a secluded weekend away with all the creature comforts of a state run camp site, White Squirrel is the perfect fit! Bonus points for the excellent communication and hospitality that Audra provided throughout our stay. It definitely made our trip that much more enjoyable :)
