Located just outside of Parker, PA and 25 minutes from I-80, our campsite is very accessible, yet still very remote. With 4 campsites on 75 acres, guests have ample privacy and space, with the freedom to roam this posted property that has no homes on it. Perched high above the Allegheny there are several spots to take in the wonderful views. There is also a waterfall with a 3’ deep pool below it. Great for splashing with kids or dogs, guests love exploring the creek bottom and making new discoveries. The more curious guests sometimes find the ruins of the original homestead, chimney and spring house that sit upstream. The property is teeming with wildlife. Birds and tree frogs will be the soundtrack of your visit, and often deer will be seen nosing along the outskirts of your site in the mornings and evenings. Turkey, bald eagles and even bear are occasionally spotted, so be prepared to secure your food and trash at night. For those coming to disconnect, you have found the right place. But if cell service is needed, you will have enough to get texts out and depending what site you booked, calls and internet as well. For those who seek an electrical outlet AND and EV charger, we have a site for you! We also have a site with a large canvas tent already set up for your convenience. Within a 15 minute drive of your campsite you can find The North Country Trail, Rails to Trails Trailheads and Boat Launches on the Allegheny River, Groceries, dining and beer.

Travelers campsite with EV charger!
Great area, we enjoyed tent camping with the luxury of having electricity. Location was perfect and we enjoyed the waterfall. Will definitely return to explore the area further!

Pine Canopy Site w/ Canvas Tent!
Awesome Camping
This was was just simply awesome. The site itself was very clean, level and shaded. Plenty of space for tents and plenty of trees for hammock tents. It is a quite site and plenty of distance from the other site that The composting toilet was for sure rustice but well maintained and clean. I have been camping for most of my life and this was definitely one of the best around the tri-state area. I highly recommend heading up to Emlenton to hit the bike trail and then stop for a bite to eat and a beer at the brewery. Overall a great experience and looking forward to coming back again

Awesome site!
Stayed here with my partners and my mom and it was great! The swimming hole was super close to this site and easily accessible. The cold water felt amazing! Site was big and open. Would definitely camp there again!

This was a last minute trip for us, but from the second I sent a request to book it was nothing but great! Chris provided great communication, directions, etc. the campsite itself was beautiful, clean and had everything we were looking for. The view in the morning was the best!
