Almost Heaven Campground, Pennsylvania

  This campground is a real gem in the rough. We have been camping here annually for over 18 years. We enjoy the raw nature of it--Loyalsock Creek is great for fishing and of course swimming and rock jumping into the creek. The campground owner is a great gal, and always has ice cream in stock at the camp store. Thenights are great, too, when you have your own personal planetarium above. The are no lights from any cities--as you are too far to see them, and when the clouds are sparce, the sky just lights up. The only thing that is lacking are the bathrooms,
    but if you don't mind a few bugs and wearing watershoes in the shower--try it!!! You'll come back year after year! Says Nicole Jamison

We have been going to Amost Heaven Campground before it was Almost Heaven Campground. (Higley Park) It is a truly unique place to visit.
This is true camping. You have to be able to look past the bathrooms. If you rent a cabin, it is a true rough cabin. You have to be a true camper. All princes and princesses should steer clear. You shouldn't be camping anyway! The location is unsurpassed. In the early morning hours, the mist rises to unveil the fact that you are encircled by mountains. You sit in a valley. Take a walk to the swimming hole. Go down to the creek and sit in the natural'jacuzzi'. Wear sneakers. The river rocks are slippery, but when you lie down, they are so relaxing. The owner  
is the nicest lady. She will help you any way she can. This is one of my favorite places on earth!! Says joanne
