This is definitely a camping stay. We were in for family weekend at PSU and just needed a place to sleep but this was a little more 'rustic' than we expected. There was a window broken on the front door next to the knob (likely someone broke it to unlock the door) and the window was replaced with cardboard. The toilet was caked in fluids and my wife cleaned it for 15 minutes before the kids could use it. There were multiple bugs in the limited time we were there. The fridge was actively leaking with a rusty pan in it. We didn't make it through the first night and ended up finding a hotel.

This was a great place to stay for the hockey game at Beaver Stadium. There were a couple of issues related to the snow and extremely cold weather, but Dawn went well out of her way to accommodate our group and make sure we were situated. It's about a 30 minute drive to downtown and Beaver Stadium. I highly recommend this campground for any size group.

Fun stay for Penn State game weekend!

Our group had traveled from around the country to the area for a Penn State football weekend. We found this to be an idyllic stay away from the hectic post-game traffic. Communication was timely and flexibility was appreciated. Wish we got to stay longer!

Great stay!!

We were met at the property by Sharon, who showed us the cabin and gave us the keys for our stay. We were able to comfortably all spread out and spend time together, with plenty of room for the 14 of us. Beautiful location along the lake, and secluded; but not too far from town! Thank you again!!

We took a group of high school students for a fly fishing trip. The property was perfect for the group. They fished on the pond, played soccer, made s’mores, and played ghost in the graveyard. We would come back!

Remember going to camp as a kid? This location is exactly that- right by the lake, with a place to have a fire and relax. We were only able to stay 1 night but for big groups who are cool with a camp-like stay, it’s a great deal. FYI depending on your carrier the cellphone reception is minimal, which personally I think makes it even more like a no-cellphone camp atmosphere that I appreciate, but our teens of course struggled with that! Sweet back deck with a swing we enjoyed.

Beautiful location and host , but many back/windy roads to PSU

We were greet by a super sweet lady, Sharon who showed us around the property. I would not Consider this property as “having all the amenities of home”’as there is no WiFi, couch or tv” but it’s the perfect place for. “Camping” style trip as the mattresses are very thin. There are No places deliver food to this location so make sure to bring everything you need as the closest store is about 25 minutes away. Also a little further of a drive to PSU as we realized. We will definitely be checking it out in the summer as it is a beautiful location and property with the pond. Sled riding would have been awesome in the winter. It really was a nice place, just know what to expect.
