Pottsville Getaway: A Riverside Retreat Close to Home

Sometimes the best escapes are right on your doorstep. We found just that with a celebratory two-night stay in Pottsville, a mere 20 minutes north of home. 

Prime riverside spot. 

Friday saw us setting up camp by the river before exploring the town on foot, capping off the day with a meal boasting picturesque views. Saturday morning began with an invigorating beach run, whetting our appetites for an exceptional lunch at Pippit. The afternoon drifted by in peaceful relaxation as the moon rose and darkness fell.

Our evening treat? A rare stone curlew sighting as we sat beneath clear skies, watching the moon ascend. The tranquil moment perfectly encapsulated the magic of camping. 

A very rare bird. Came right up to us under orange light, ran when torch turned on.

Sunday morning, we strolled through the bustling farmers market before reluctantly packing up. The short 20-minute drive home was a reminder of how accessible this riverside haven truly is.


Listen to the river sing sweet songs...

Pottsville proved to be an ideal spot for a quick getaway - close enough for convenience, yet far enough to feel like a real escape.
