Of all the camping we did this summer, by far this was our family's favorite place!
This is true camping. Camper site with water and electric was perfectly shaded and gave us plenty of room. We loved how quiet it is here. Denise ,the owner, was friendly, pleasant and accommodating. Her dad Butch was so helpful and a great guy to have around if you need anything. Pool is great size and very clean. Bathhouse was convenient and had everything you needed. Great places to walk our dog. A true place to come and relax and be surrounded by wilderness not other noisy campers like other campgrounds. We especially love that no golf carts are racing through the campgrounds as they are not allowed. It is also very convenient to local grocery and hardware store and gas if you need it. My wife and kids and I will definitely return. We're looking forward to it!
I love to camp, I love the outdoors, usually I tent camp, but here I splurged for a cabin. There have been other reviews about them, but for the extra price, if you want a cabin, rent white tail or black bear. They are a little dusty, but very cozy, close to the pool and rec center. The trailer lot rents are crazy reasonable if you plan on staying the season, there are bears in the area, so I opted out of tent camping! Also, the honking thing is due to a security system, you don't honk, they'll come looking for whoever doesn't belong. I've added a pic of the bear on the dumpster, it's not a great shot, but I wasn't going closer!
My Family just got into camping and decided to stay at Hemlock Acres the weekend of July 24th. We loved it so much we had our camper there every weekend since with 2 more weekends scheduled for sure!! The sites are very spacious & woodsy!! The swimming pool is awesome & very clean!! The Owner Rudi is very friendly and always out and about to check and see how things are going!! Highly Recommended!!!
I have a seasonal spot here. The new owners, husband and wife, Denise and Brian and Denise's dad Butch, are making tremendous improvements including a brand new "honey truck" that pumps your camper tanks clean with latest equipment. Also new private bathroom and showers.
This Campground is very private and secluded with local fishing in Penn's creek, and exploring nearby Poe Valley State park. This Campground is close to PSU for football games if interested.
This Campground has a pool for cooling off on hot days. It is also pet friendly.
There is a local bear that I enjoy rare sightings. However, as in any outdoor PA forest, keep your children close, and follow state park guidelines on bear awareness and cautions. Deer are sometimes seen in camp.
Most seasonal guests are older retirees and friendly. This camp is peaceful especially during the work week when fewer guest in camp.
The owners are familiar with all seasonal campers and your property is safe. Low chances of anyone hooking up and stealing your camper without owners being aware. Recently this Campground has expanded spots.
As with any Campground or woods visit, be courteous and leave no trace of human litter including cigarette butts which are harmful to wildlife.
Enjoy your visit.
