    Default Boiling Springs - Places to stay

    I've got AWOL's from last year, and I'm not seeing this in there, so I thought I'd ask here.

    Are there any places to stay in Boiling Springs that allows dogs?

    I believe there is a campsite right before the town, but it is near the railroad tracks...
    AT 2000 miler: 2011-2014 (via section hikes)
    Camino de Santiago -- April/May 2016 (Camino Frances from Saint Jean Pied de Port to Santiago de Compostela)

    If that's the only option, you might as well keep walking as the freight trains will keep you up all night.

    I've heard that as well. We kept on moving to the next town.

    Clarks Ferry above Duncannon isn't much quieter .
    Getting lost is a way to find yourself.

    I can personally verify that a train will come by about every 30 minutes the entire night. THE worst nights sleep I have ever had on any trail.

    You actually got any sleep? We just packed up and started hiking at about 4 AM when we realized that sleep was not going to happen.

    I think some peoe an tolerate the trains better than others. I'm generally a deep sleeper and I slept at this campsite in December this year. i did not wake up once during the night so it worked out fine for me.

    Although more trains go through Duncannon, they honk for the grade crossing beside the Sunday Farm campsite in Boiling Springs. Nobo's in high summer with leaves out, if you haven't heard about the "midnight train" campsite are caught unawares by the SQURRONK!

    There is a very nice campsite about 4 miles trail south.

    I agree with Donde on the sites south. There is also a stream running through here if sleeping next to a water source is a priority.
