Customer Reviews
Best view of State college town and peaceful mid state trail!
Mind blowing place, we were in Camp 3, and it’s amazingly peaceful space for a gathering. The roads are graveled miles long, and We enjoyed a walk from camp 3 to beautiful dam. Parked anywhere in the forest and felt pretty safe with a big group.
perfect spot. enough room for anything you could want to do. very close to the stream. hammock spots along the edge, many flat spots for tents.
Nice spot for camping right between laurel run rd and pine grove mills. You can get a free permit by just calling and reserving the dates. There was a firepit and a picnic bench. Running sources of water all over. We could hear the stream from the campsite. If you are hunting, go a little deeper in past the cabins. The mountain directly on this camp is tough hiking. Lots of thorns and rocks. I really enjoyed my trip and will go back with my kids when the weather is warmer.
Great spot. Isolated. Perfect little getaway
