Best Dispersed Camping near Kittanning, PA

This is my first time dispersed camping and the spot is nice for a first go. Was able to drive in which I why I chose this area. Currently finish up the night and once the fire dies down I’ll head to bed. As some one has mentioned the only real downside is the road near by, but the traffic is at a minimum.

Tremendous solitude, but it was a Thursday night in late March and very cold. This was a great spot for my first dispersed camping experience. Hard, fairly flat parking surface right off of paved road. Rock fire ring. Vault toilets were open. Sites are well spaced. Mature forest canopy. Though I would always look for widow makers above because some of the trees seem to be diseased. I saw maybe 6 other cars the 12 hours I was there. Though I’m sure it’s busier in warmer weather.

Many disbursed spots along the river over several miles. Size od camping spots ranges from large open fields with fire pits to spots on the shoulder of the road

We came in on a Saturday and found one of the road side sites open. Not much traffic and very friendly people in the area.

The river was basically brown like pudding the only signs of life were insects. While a very beautiful area, the river was king of yucky looking.

I believe there are several dispersed spots along this road. This one was close enough to the road to feel safe but far enough away to have privacy.

Great little roadside campsite to get away. We spent the night during a tropical storm and got the pleasure of hearing the rain on the tent out in this peaceful spot!

I’ve been camping here for 5 years now and it’s always a good time.

Love it. I pulled off about a half mile past the noted google maps pinpoint. Great time for the dogs and I.

I stayed a lot deeper in the woods than this road but all the roads in the forest are drivable gravel with many pull of spots for camping!

Living in a van looking for spots to stay this wasn’t a bad one at all, good bit off the road, couple trails.
