Portable Toilet Disclaimer: There are Long Term Use Portable Toilets on each site. Portable Toilets are wiped down with disinfectant after each stay, however because we have dirt roads on property, they may get dusty quickly, this does not mean they are dirty or not maintained. They are emptied on a monthly schedule, meaning there will likely be waste in them upon your arrival, do not expect a pristine unused empty toilet, their levels are monitored closely, and they are emptied sooner if need be. We do our best to prevent any smells by using the correct additives, but depending on weather and use frequency this cannot be guaranteed. Portable Toilets are set away from the site to help prevent smells from affecting guests. We are also in the woods, meaning that bugs may be attracted to the portable toilets, again we do our best to avoid this, but it cannot be guaranteed. If you are uncomfortable using the Portable Toilets given this information you are welcome to use the communal flush toilet in our Camp Shop. Please do not leave a negative review about the portable toilets, you have been informed in advance what to expect.
About
our company
The company was founded by Murray and his wife Jane back in 1998, naming the property Grouseland after Pennsylvania’s state bird. Starting originally as Grouseland Tours which taught mountain biking, lead bicycle tours, and offered a shuttle service, as well as being a Cannondale Dealership. Until Cannondale moved their factory out of Bedford, PA.
In 2016 Murray and Jane’s nephew Mason was brought in from the Chicago area to help maintain the property and rebuild the company with plans to take over after graduation.
Mason has since committed to reopening Grouseland as a vacation destination, mountain bike trails to hiking trails, rebranding the company as Grouseland Hospitality and starting Grouseland Camping in 2020.
