Close to Ricketts Glen State Park

The property was well maintained and comfortable and Chris and Jackie were so hospitable, always stopping by to make sure we had all we needed. Our site had plenty of space and the property does not hold a lot of campers so we never felt like we were “apartment camping.” We were traveling with young kids and the nice open space was great for them to play baseball, soccer, lacrosse, etc. we also had two dogs with us and they were so happy to be on cozy grass with a wooded area close by. My family thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we were close to all the activities we wanted to participate in.

Nice April weekend

The hosts were great. They land was beautiful and the wild life was out, specifically deer and a lot of woodpeckers. They delivered the firewood and water down to us. Made sure we had what we needed but respected our space

Lovely people, amazing trip

So much good stuff to say about these folks. My family and I were a group about 12 strong, so planning and finding campsites is usually a huge pain. However, booking and setting up the yearly trip was so easy this time around. We had the whole site to ourselves, so Chris and Jackie gave us the run of the land. The facilities arent extensive but they are exactly what you need for a weekend camping trip. Notably, no one in the group got a tick or mosquito bite, even though we were deep in summer at that point. The sight of the stars in this area was breathtaking- each night, our whole group laid out in the grass to stargaze, and we even saw multiple shooting stars. Rickets Glenn is only a short 20-30 minute drive depending on where you go, and the park has a huge variety of trails as well as truly breathtaking views. The only thing I could think to gripe about (and I had to dig to think of it) is the fact that you can't bring your own wood- but their wood is relativley cheap, and it burned nice and slow. A few bundles lasted three days, plus we cooked with it. In all, Chris and Jackie made our lives so easy and made us feel really welcome. Can't go wrong with these folks.

We had a fantastic time tent camping on Jackie and Chris’s land. They are wonderful hosts and provided everything we needed, including firewood and lights. Their communication was excellent and they were very prompt! We also recommend taking a pontoon boat ride with Clark. He gave us a great tour of Harvey’s Lake and made the experience memorable. Thank you!

Beautiful environment with kind and welcoming hosts. All of the activities however has to be driven to so that was bit of a hassle. Also some information about the amount of spiders on the property would have been beneficial. Other than that had an amazing trip.

Overall we had a great experience. Unfortunately, the site was in the host’s backyard and didn't feel as private as we expected.

It was very nice camping in Chris and Jackie’s land . You can see the hard work they have done to make the place as wonderful as it is. The land is 15 minutes away from the breathtaking nature, lake and waterfalls. The couple are very welcoming and sweet they helped us with the fire and get us a really long leash for my dog to move freely. 2 nights are needed to see every thing around.

Chris and Jackie have a great place to tent camp or spend a few nights in their retro camper. They make sure you have everything you need. I had a great time meeting new people and making memories! I'll be back for sure.

We had the best time here. Chris and Jackie are absolutely wonderful, gracious hosts. They helped out with some things we forgot. They gave lots of great recommendations for attractions in the area. The camper fit me and my 2 kids comfortably. The heater kept the camper nice and warm - we were surprised with some snow flurries. I can’t wait to come back with a group of friends and rent out multiple campsites. We couldn’t be happier.

Everything! The property was beautiful and well taken care of. the hosts Chris and Jackie were very friendly and accommodating. All amenities that were provided were greatly appreciated and in good repair(grill, portapottys, dish washing station). I would recommend anyone looking to spend time in the Rickets Glen area to stay with Chris and Jackie!

Chris and Jackie were so kind ! It was great to have the firewood and eggs right there . There’s also an outdoor sink that was helpful as well as a covered area with chairs and refrigerators which was nice when it rained. If you need a shower lake Jean has warm clean showers and flushing toilets. 10/10 would stay again.

The campground was quiet. We stayed on the side near the stream and it seemed very private. It is an easy drive to Rickett's Glen on PA118. The running water could be setup a little differently. The pavilion is nice. The owner's are friendly and very helpful.

Chris and Jackie were very accommodating and personable. They checked in several times with me and my camping group to make sure we had everything we needed. I recommend this site for anyone who enjoys camping the outdoors and I hope to return again soon.

Chris and Jackie have an excellent location and property for anyone visiting the Rickets Glen area. They communicated well and were friendly upon arrival. They provide a lot of nice features for campers. Since they do have several sites, they have basic rules that are similar to any other campground. It was a very positive stay and I would stay there again.
