Property Description
Welcome! Camp Critter is situated along the banks of Hicks Run and provides perfect accommodation for anyone who wants to experience the PA Wilds. Whether you are a hunter, fisherman or just want a peaceful getaway, this is the place for you.
Several improvements were completed in February of 2025 including: New Living Room Furniture, a newly repainted kitchen and a newly refinished kitchen table. We also provided several new items in the kitchen as well as some new mats and area rugs to freshen things up. More improvements to come as the year progresses.
The Cabin features a fully equipped kitchen, spacious living area and room to sleep 8. There are two large decks, front and back for relaxing, listening to waters of Hicks run or watching the Elk and Deer that frequently visit the yard. A gas grill is available with propane provided. The yard is roughly 2 acres and provides plenty of space for the kids to run around.
Camp Critter is a 20 minute drive from the Benezette Visitors Center and walking distance from the Hicks Run Viewing Area. The cabin sits on Hicks Run, a stocked trout stream accessible from the back yard. If hunting or hiking is your intent, the cabin is just minutes away from State Gamelands and the Elk State Forest.

Very nice cabin and area!
This cabin was very nice and we had a few questions before we stayed there and the owners called us back and answered them. The only thing that could be added is numbers to the end of the driveway. We arrived after dark and went way past the cabin and had to turn around about a mile down the road when we stopped seeing houses. We were very confused. Thank goodness my parents had gotten there earlier because they stood out at the end of the driveway and helped us find the cabin. I had plugged in the address to my phone and it took us way past the cabin. So there needs to be an address at the end of the driveway so people can see if they get there after dark. I’m surprised others do not have this issue when finding it. Also, when you are at the campfire, there is a steep drop off to the creek only about 50 feet from the fire pit. If you wander off to go look at the creek, someone could easily fall and hurt themselves. There should be a rope across with a sign that says ‘danger.’ Other than that, it was a very nice stay.

Easter weekend
Nice and peaceful setting. property could use some minor work. Had to put bathroom door handle back on as it fell off, One bed upstairs is broken. Propped it up to support it. Porch steps are like ice when wet. Water stinks. Recommend bringing own water to drink and cook with. All in all would rent again. Short drive off main road, Elk tracks in yard. Property is semi clean and kitchen is pretty well stocked with anything you need. Really should clean up scrap laying around in back wooded area and old pit.

Family time
We were looking for a short getaway, with plenty of room for everyone one to do their thing, the creek behind the cabin provided fishing opportunities and a place for the girls to wade and explore. The cabin is roomy and one bath was not an issue. We will definitely stay again!

Peaceful
Camp critter is a delight. Rustic with all the comforts of home. My husband, myself and our 2 dogs really enjoyed our stay. The word peaceful sums our experience. I would recommend to all for a getaway.
Lastly the owners and staff are great.. my e-reader was inadvertently left behind and they got it back to me with no fuss. THANK YOU.
