Whispering Pines Camping Estates Introduce

For those seeking a tranquil escape into the heart of the Red Rock Mountains, Whispering Pines Camping Estates in Stillwater, Pennsylvania, offers a quintessential outdoor experience. This family-owned and operated destination is more than just a place to park an RV; it is a sprawling sanctuary nestled among rolling hills and rich farm country. Designed specifically to cater to the family camper, the campground provides a safe, clean, and friendly atmosphere where the stresses of daily life are replaced by the gentle rustle of tall pines. Whether you are a local Pennsylvanian looking for a weekend getaway or a traveler exploring the natural wonders of Columbia County, Whispering Pines serves as a premier basecamp for relaxation and adventure.

The estate is characterized by its spacious and private sites, a feature often noted by long-term guests and seasonal visitors. Unlike many commercial parks that crowd sites together, Whispering Pines maintains an environment where you can truly "breathe." The property beautifully integrates with its natural surroundings, featuring a two-acre private fishing pond and on-site walking trails that allow guests to immerse themselves in the local flora and fauna without ever leaving the grounds. From the welcoming pasture of horses nearby to the charming camp store, every element of the campground is designed to provide a "nothing fancy yet perfect" experience that captures the true spirit of traditional Pennsylvania camping.

Located at 1557 N Bendertown Rd, Stillwater, PA 17878, the campground is strategically positioned to offer both seclusion and convenient access to some of the state’s most iconic natural attractions. It is situated just a short drive from the breathtaking waterfalls of Ricketts Glen State Park, making it a favorite lodging choice for hikers and photographers. Local users appreciate that the campground is far enough from major highways to ensure a quiet night under the stars, yet close enough to the boroughs of Benton and Bloomsburg to allow for easy runs to local markets or antique shops.

Accessibility is a priority at Whispering Pines Camping Estates. The facility features a wheelchair-accessible entrance, parking lot, and restroom facilities, ensuring that the beauty of the Red Rock Mountains is available to everyone. For those arriving in larger vehicles, the park is "big rig friendly" with pull-through sites and wide access roads. The entrance is easily found off North Bendertown Road, and the on-site parking is ample for both registered campers and their guests. The roads within the campground are well-maintained gravel, providing a stable surface for RVs and trailers of all sizes during the varied Pennsylvania seasons.

Whispering Pines Camping Estates is worth choosing because it delivers an authentic, high-quality camping experience without the commercialized feel of larger "resort" parks. The personal attention from the owners, Chris and the staff, ensures that every guest feels like part of the family. It is particularly worth choosing for those who prioritize cleanliness and quiet; the bathhouses are noted for being "spotless," and the park rules regarding noise are respectfully enforced to protect the tranquil environment.

Furthermore, the variety of lodging options—from primitive tent sites to fully equipped luxury cabins—means that you can customize your stay to fit your budget and comfort level. The presence of the convenience store and the arcade means you have the essentials and entertainment close at hand, while the surrounding Red Rock Mountains offer all the rugged adventure you could desire. Whether you are sitting by the fire ring at your spacious site, watching the horses in the adjacent pasture, or preparing for a day of hiking at Ricketts Glen, Whispering Pines provides the perfect blend of community, comfort, and the great outdoors.

Excellent camping experience! Chris was very welcoming and accommodating! There was a little arcade with an awesome South Park pin ball machine, and beautiful horses/pasture next to the campground. Nothing fancy yet perfect. Would stay again for sure! :)

We love camping at Whispering Pines Campground. The people are the friendliest around. The campground is peaceful and nicely wooded with lots of space between sites. The swimming pool is super clean and nice. We always meet new people here, and it's a great experience.

Awesome campground. Could not be happier with our camping spot Lots to do at the campground and in the area. Rickets Glen State Park, Wineries, Bill's old bike museum is a must, more than just motorcycles. Painting class at the campground is a blast. I recommend signing up for that, good for any age. We brought our 2 teenager grandchildren with us and they had a blast. Loved campfire and hiking. The camp store has everything you need plus souvenirs to bring home. We came from FL and our first trip to PA. Best campground we stayed at. Teresa and David go out of their way to make guests feel at home. They gave great suggestions on the sites to see and were spot on. Will definitely come back, and did not even mind the cool temps on some days and was able to take a dip in the beautiful pool. A nice climate change, beautiful scenery.

Just stayed at Whispering Pines for a long weekend. This campground was really nice. VERY quiet campground. Very secluded. Lots of beautiful farm country surrounding it. Mostly seasonal sites but there were several weekend sites. The sites are big, well shaded and grassy. The restrooms were clean. If you use the showers you will need quarters. The campground store was pretty small but had all the essentials if you forgot something. It was about 20 minutes from Ricketts Glenn state park. There were several wineries close as well. The owners Theresa and David were friendly and helpful. It has a small pool too. Looking forward to future camping trips at this really well kept campground...Debi R
