Rare Camp Opportunity at Black Moshannon State ParkEscape to the outdoors with this rare opportunity to own a private camp structure on DCNR leased land along West Side Road at Black Moshannon State Park. Set near Black Moshannon Lake in one of Central Pennsylvania's most desirable recreation areas, this camp offers the quiet wooded retreat buyers seek for weekends away, hunting season, hiking tr ips, fishing, paddling, wildlife watching, and relaxing in nature. The structure is privately owned; the land is leased through DCNR, and lease transfer is subject to approval.
The location is a major part of the appeal. Black Moshannon State Park is known for forests, wetlands, bogs, dark tea-colored lake waters, and year-round outdoor recreation, with surrounding Moshannon State Forest adding to the remote, wild setting. Nearby activities include lake access, hiking, fishing, boating, hunting, mountain biking, wildlife viewing, winter recreation, and scenic drives through the park and forest.
Inside, the camp offers a comfortable two-bedroom layout with an en-suite bathroom, eat-in kitchen with appliances included, and a welcoming living room centered around a fireplace. Electric heat, well water, a private septic system, year-round access, off-street parking, municipally maintained roads, views of Black Moshannon Lake, and an easy walk to the lake and boat launch add practical convenience to the classic camp experience.

Black Moshannon Area Appeal
West Side Road places this camp in the heart of the Black Moshannon experience. Buyers will appreciate proximity to the lake, Bog Trail boardwalk, shoreline areas, scenic wetlands, and connected trail systems that showcase the park's distinctive natural character.
This setting is ideal for those seeking more than a cabin--it is a true outdoor base in a proven recreational area. Enjoy quiet mornings by the lake, afternoons on the trails, seasonal hunting, paddling, birding, photography, cross-country skiing, and evenings gathered at camp after a day outside.
Important Lease Information
This camp sits on land leased through the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. The Commonwealth owns the land, while the cabin and eligible improvements are privately owned. Purchase of the structure and transfer of the DCNR lease are separate steps, and any transfer is subject to DCNR requirements and approval. Buyer must be a Pennsylvania resident to qualify.
Prospective buyers should review lease terms, eligibility, permitted uses, maintenance expectations, renewals, taxes, utilities, access, condition of improvements, and transfer procedures with the appropriate forest district office before purchase.
