- "great vacation!! thank you!!" - "Nice place " - "Stay was great. Cabin was comfortable and clean. Was disappointed that porch wasn't screened in like picture but was supprised at the lack of mosquitoes at night so it wasn't a big deal. Was a little disappointed in the short hours for the store, pool and mini golf. The store was never open while I was there so I could never purchase ice. Pool should have been open later than 8 pm. My son wasn't allowed in spa even with adult supervision because he wasn't 16. And mini golf closed at 7pm but store wasn't open to purchase balls so we never got to play. Resort was nice, quiet and friendly. "

My niece loved walking amidst the animals in the morning. " - "This was an amazing romantic weekend for us. We stayed on site 2, with the fire fueled hot tub. It was so relaxing and the property was beautiful and well maintained. It is camping with everything you would need. All you need to bring are your clothes, family, and friends. We are already planning our next vacation and this times, if the kids are lucky, they can come too. The property owners were amazing and very responsive.

- "Wonderful " - "the only bad thing is that the owner doesn't want them to talk...it's supposed to be a campsite and to talk...it's the only thing I have to say" - "Traveling through and decided to visit Ricketts Glen, am I glad we procrastinated. We found C&J’s camp on VRBO and we will be back!!! Delightful folks…fast friends and grateful they share their beautiful home!!!" - "Very nice camping environment" - "My group of 7 friends and I absolutely loved our stay with Jackie and Chris! Communication with them was very straight forward and quick right from the start, and Jackie greeted us right when we arrived (Make sure you touch base with her or Chris, as they will direct you to which specific campsite is yours). They were so friendly to us the entire weekend, saying good morning and goodnight and even getting us more fire wood when we ran out around 8 pm one night. There were 4 other groups camping at other campsites with no trees for separation, but we felt like we had enough privacy to enjoy ourselves- it helped that quiet hours were at 11. The porta potties were clean and in good shape, the site was large and spacious- good for lawn games, etc. We highly recommend hiking at Ricketts Glen, swimming at Lake Jean, and checking out Colonel Ricketts Cidery while in the area. All in all, wonderful stay with Chris and Jackie!!"

Guest Reviews:

- "My husband and I have been avid campers for years, but sadly getting a bit older. Setting up and tearing down a campsite just isn’t what we want to do anymore, but didn’t want to give up the part of it we love. So, we decided to start “glamping”. This place was Glamping taken to the next level. Donnie and Nicole were great hosts, who thought of everything when putting together this gem. Mini fridge, microwave, coffeemaker!!!! Was wonderful falling asleep to the sound of the creek at night, and playing in it in the day. Close enough to the owners incase we needed anything, but far enough away to where we felt like we were the only ones there for miles. What a peaceful, relaxing weekend it was. Will definitely be back."

Secluded Overlook Solo Campsite
RV Rental
Waterford, Pennsylvania, USA

This stand-alone secluded campsite sits in the woods above an extremely unique stretch of French Creek (2022 PA River of the Year!) Facing northwest over the valley, it offers stunning sunset views. The Union City Dam floods the valley during wet periods making a beautiful (though temporary) lakefront campsite before slowly draining away. 100s of acres of protected land create a wildlife haven. Centrally located between 2 small towns with many local attractions.

Union City Dam:

Situated on the high-side of the Union City Dam, a dry-bed flood control dam. During snowmelt or rainy spells, the dam fills and floods the entire valley. During dry spells, French Creek appears as any other creek. At full flood, it becomes a breathtaking lake front campsite. Unfortunately, these natural events only occur a few weeks out of the year and are fairly unpredictable, but provide a truly spectacular setting (compare the high-water vs low-water views in the photos).

Wildlife:

At the end of a dead-end dirt road, adjacent to 100's of acres of federal protected land, and within sight of a number of agriculture fields, there is an abundance of wildlife. For over 20 years, an active eagle’s nest has been located 1 mile north providing amazing opportunities to see either adult or juvenile eagles flying over French Creek hunting for fish. Deer can be seen early morning and late evening in the fields, and frequently crossing the valley. All types of waterfowl flock the reservoir lake when flooded. I've personally witnessed up to 1000 geese and 100’s of wild swans at once.

Local Attractions:

The small towns of Union City and Waterford have gas stations, grocery stores, great local dining options, and more. The Union City Dam, less than 1.5 miles down the road, provides walking, biking, scenic driving, and picnic opportunities. 40-min drive to Presque Isle State Park, one of the only free state parks left in the US. 15-min drive to Port Farms a farm-themed amusement park for the kids and Poverty Knob Brewery for the adults.

DISCLAIMER: There is an active gravel pit to the North of the campsite. During weekdays from about 7 AM-5 PM, you will likely hear and possibly see some activity from the gravel pit. Security cameras may be in use at the driveway entrance.

RULES:
1) FIREWOOD: The state of Pennsylvania prohibits the movement of all types of firewood into the state from out-of-state sources, unless it has been properly heat-treated, kiln-dried, and/or USDA certified due to the risk of spreading invasive species. You are free to pick up, cut up, and burn any dead wood on the ground within eye sight of the campsite (please stay within reason of the established campsite to stay on the property). There is locker system of dry firewood for $10 a large bundle available at the campsite. You can follow instructions on the firewood sign to purchase a code to the locker when you arrive.

2) TRASH: Please pick up after yourself and take your trash with you. I do provide trash removal for $5 per 3 large garage bags. Please notify me on departure if you are leaving trash for removal.

3) GRAVEL PIT: There is an active gravel pit directly north on the road past the camp driveway. Do not drive, bike, or walk north on the road any farther than the camp driveway. There wilk be large trucks and heavy equipment running during business hours on weekdays.

Guest Reviews:

- "Very nice, and quite!" - "The view is incredible.. the grounds are clean and stumbling on this spot was perfect! A hidden gem! Secluded, quiet and private.

The hot tub is located next to the owner's home adjacent to our porch and parking area. Guests are welcome to use this at any time.

If you’re bringing your furry friends there’s a large 1.5-acre fenced dog park with a puppy playtime stock tank you may use. Just ask and we can show you.

Miles of hiking, rail trail, single-track mountain biking, and kayaking are all right here! Ask about kayak and bike rentals.
