Kayaking, fishing, and direct river access draw campers to this dispersed area along River Road in Allegheny National Forest, where several large sites face the Clarion River. No hookups, no cell service. Sites are spread across several miles on both sides of the road, some large enough to accommodate RVs up to roughly 30 feet, and the spacing between spots is considerably wider than most dispersed areas. An information kiosk along River Road includes a map of designated sites on both River Road and Millstone; photographing it before heading in is worth the extra minute. Nearby, Millstone Creek Campground provides another dispersed option along the same corridor. Weekends and holidays fill sites quickly, so mid-week arrivals have the better odds of landing a riverside spot.
