Situated along River Road and Millstone Road south of Belltown, Clarion River Campsites is a free, walk-in campground managed by the Forest Service in Ridgway, Pennsylvania. Sites sit between a creek and the Clarion River, with a pit toilet available where the two roads meet. Online maps for the individual sites are limited, so navigating to specific spots can take some trial and error. Campers should pack out all trash, as previous visitors have left debris near fire rings. For camping near Brockway, this area provides a low-cost base with river access and campfire privileges.
