Red Bridge Recreation Area - Allegheny National Forest
Best Place to Visit
Red Bridge is stunning and wonderfully maintained! Every time they drove by, site hosts would pull over and chat with you! I love watching movies and TV shows on my favorite app, Baixar Freecine Apk, and there were plenty of clean bathhouses with plenty of hot water.

Noisy
Big open campground with lots of sites both electric and non electric. Many rigs in non electric sites running generators 24 hours. Very noisy. Would not recommend

Quiet little campground
I have a 25-foot travel trailer and found several suitable spots on SF-160. Since it rains frequently here, keep your slip-on shoes handy near the door. This area offers great hiking and biking opportunities. The campsite next to the hiking trail has WiFi about 70% of the time. Experience duck life right now!

High Pines RV Park
High Praise for High Pines
What a beautiful campground with the sweetest owners, Jack and Debbie! Our 3 night stay was just not long enough. We will definitely be back! Shout out to Debbie for being highly instrumental in the creation of the High Pines App, which is absolutely amazing and chock full of useful information. Another shout out to both Jack & Debbie for warmly welcoming our South African Mastiff despite her intimidating size and appearance. We appreciated that we, the owners, would be judged. Not the dog and certainly not her breed. Thank you for a wonderful camping experience!

Nice, peaceful and free
If you don’t mind roughing it a bit, it’s really quite nice. Sites are first come first serve and there is a bit of day traffic to get to Hector Falls. Which is a nice little 2 mile hike. Some good exploring. Bring tick/bug spray. Found several on my boys and me.

Review about sites 321 to 325
I stayed here and it was very peaceful, but it was also pretty empty. Some of the sides are very close together, but if you look around, you can get one that has a little bit more privacy. Clean bathrooms, clean showers. Hikes from the site. Swimming as well!!

Stony Fork Creek Campground
Great experience
We arrived on Saturday and departed the following Friday. The campground was exceptionally maintained, bathrooms and showers virtually spotless and the pool was clearly and consistently maintained at all times. Plenty of space to spread out and walk. All of the roads were paved and sites were very large.

Sprague Brook Park
Beautiful well maintained.
We have stayed at both a full hook up and a no hook up site, and both were roomy and clean. The park is awesome. I absolutely love the memorial park .
Maddie C.ScoutEast Otto State Forest
Great spot!
We went for a quick weekend trip with 3 people and 4 dogs. What a great spot! We were nice and secluded, which was great for the dogs to run around, be safe, and not bother other campers. It was relatively easy to find and the campsite is pretty close to Zoar Valley for a nice day trip! We will definitely be back :)

Hanging Bog Big Bass Serenity Camp
Hanging out at the Hanging Bog
This is a gem of a campground, located on a private homestead adjacent to the Hanging Bog Unique Area, a special state forest preserve maintained by the DEC. Because you are off the beaten path, it feels like you are in the wilderness, although you are in driving distance of a hamlet where you can get supplies. I was there in October, at the peak of fall colors, so the camping and hiking trails and on the forest road to the bog was exquisite. The host has created a wonderful haven here, with tent sites, a few places where camper vans can park, and a glamping cabin option. Each site has a nice fire pit supplied with firewood, and you can drive up right to your site or get there by a short walk. The campground has a central cabin with a sitting room where you can hang out in the evening or if it is raining; a great retreat spit for writing or reading or journaling! There is potable water and a privy, and also a shelter where you can wash up dishes etc after campfire cooking. This is an amazing place for a retreat; I only stayed one night with my dog, but would live to come back for a week to fully enjoy camping here!

Stony Fork Creek Campground
Good Camping Option to the Grand Canyon of PA
Stayed at this campsite, taking our pop-up camper on its maiden voyage to the Grand Canyon of PA. Was able to choose a location that worked best for us. The area we selected was not busy. Campsite appeared to have a lot of seasonal campers. My husband does not like staying in crowded campgrounds with people surrounding you and up all night screaming and singing. We go camping to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. Not to listen to people pretending to relive their college days....lol. Area is open, not offering a lot of privacy, but we had shade and woods behind us, and the ground was grassy and level. The pool was nice and the rec center had a lot of activities for kids. The pond offered fishing and pedal boat rentals. We chose this campsite due to its proximity to the Leonard Harrison State Park. We had no issues here and would recommend.

Bathrooms were very clean. Lots of things to do for young ones; heated pool, splash pad, pickleball court, basketball hoops and Gaga ball court. Opportunity to rent kayaks, bikes and golf carts.

Super friendly and communal campground
It was fairly full when I went, the staff was very friendly and helpful. There was a band playing in the middle of the campground at dusk which made for a great experience. Great campground overall!
Marilyn C.ScoutSprague Brook Park
Beautiful park
I loved everything. The sites are neat. We tent camped with no electric. $23 per night. Fishing allowed in the pond. Bathrooms with showers were spotless. Grass maintained. One small complaint is checkin and out times not enforced. Checkin states 3 pm but we saw many checking in as early as 8 or 9 AM. We could have gained a whole day! Next time!
Lots of very wet, muddy sites where even mulch would have been helpful.

East Branch Campground — East Branch Clarion River Lake
Enjoyed our weekend here!
Nice quiet & small campground on a hillside. Loved how remote this location was, but be prepared to be a billy goat when trekking to the restroom no matter your site location. Even though it was a busy holiday weekend, it was a very peaceful weekend. Very clean restrooms. No signage to sites if you aren't familiar with the campground. Terrible "slow bumps" in/out of campground . . . a little excessive. Beautiful lake/area, but must drive from campground to water's edge. Will likely visit again! PS--Currently issues with potable water; must bring your own.

Pettecote Junction Campground
Nature Lover's Dream
This is one of the best campgrounds we've ever stayed at. Beautifully maintained and landscaped, and the sites are level. Our site was literally on the river, we even saw an eagle. Their bathrooms are so clean I almost swept from joy. Keep in mind you need quarters for a hot shower but I only needed 2 quarters for 6 minutes, plenty of time. What I love most is how accessible the biking trail and river are. The staff will even shuttle you to the kayak drop off site for a fee, and then you just pull in right to the campground. We have been coming to this area for years and this is the first time we were lucky to snag a site for a Holiday weekend. We won't stay anywhere else from now on.

Red Oak Campground
Mostly Seasonal Sites
Park is mostly for seasonal camping with family oriented activities. Pads are gravel and grass. Campground needs general upkeep. Bathhouse needs repair or replacement. Staff is friendly and accommodating.

Clarion Heights
Best camping spot on our road trip yet
One of the most beautiful camping spots we’ve ever had. Complete with a fire pit & wood available, pavilion with an upstairs lounge and all kinds of sports utilities like golf clubs, frisbees, volleyball & tether ball setup,.. to enjoy yourself while camping out there. The toilet and outdoor shower facilities are a bit rudimentary but it wouldn’t be camping without + the shower was warm & clean!
The host & family is also very friendly and welcoming

RangerRed Bridge Recreation Area - Allegheny National Forest
Beautiful and Quiet
This is a beautiful campground. You have to go through the national park website to make reservations, so I feel like that's what keeps it quiet maybe. My wife and I stayed here for a long weekend and somehow ended up booking a full hookup site that was really great. The sites are very spacious and mostly divided with brush. The campground is rather hilly overall and I'm not sure it's best for kids unless they're really into fishing. But it is settled right on the Allegheny Reservoir, so if you bring you kayaks you can launch right from the campground. The restrooms with showers were beautiful and the whole place was well kept. The camp isn't far from many attractions in the area. Including the kinzu skywalk which is about a 30 minute drive. Overall a wonderful quiet place to camp.
Tracy S.ScoutRed Oak Campground
Nice area for photography
I went here the second week in October 2023 for a fall leaves photography trip. The campground owner is pleasant and available when needed. The place was fairly empty and I loved the quiet. Reasonable full hookup rates. The pulls ins are a bit of a draw on levelness, but none are horribly unlevel. I was in the "B1" and it's a bit larger than the others as it's on the corner. It had a nicely level spot on a gravel drive for my 21 ft travel trailer. Part of the pull in is a bit uphill, but at the top it's perfect for the smaller trailer like mine plus my Ford Explorer. I'm a 63 yo woman and had no issues hooking up. As I pulled out I stopped at the store to say goodbye. I realized I forgot to grab my garbage bag (left it sitting near the picnic table). She said don't worry about it I'll have the guys grab it for you. Nice woman! The entire camp is beautifully wooded and it's a remote area. Nearest town for groceries is 30 mins, but it was on my way to Allegheny State Park and Kinzua dam, so not a bad drive. Going to come back next year!

Very relaxing and secluded
I wanted to have a solo get away with the new travel trailer, and this place was exactly what I was looking for. I booked a site during the off season, so I had the entire area to myself. Very friendly staff.

Cozy, scenic and quiet
Beautiful grounds and property, clean, new decks and fire pits. View over the pond is a beautiful view for your first cup of coffee in the morning !! The staff are wonderful, Emma at the store and Kyla and Ian who take care of the property are friendly good people who made our stay extra nice. Water pressure was low at times and there are no threads on the sewer connection but rocks work 😁👍. Centerville road to the campground is narrow and hilly but if you take your time it’s not too bad. Grocery stores nearby and Letchworth state park close.

Shamrock Pines Campground
Clean and friendly
Called up on Friday afternoon of Labor Day weekend and they accommodated us for two nights. John and his staff were friendly and welcoming. Very clean campground with mostly seasonal sites. Several overnight sites with electric and water. These sites were mostly gravel and cut into a bank so that there is some separation. Surrounded by trees but grounds are well kept. Fully fenced dog park that was great for our pup. A couple of ponds for kids to fish and what looks like a nice pool. Quiet hours observed. On Saturday night there was a band in an outdoor stage that was great.
Close enough to Ellicottville to enjoy the shops, brewery and restaurants there.
Only thing I would mention is the dump station is simply just a pipe off one of the driveways with a water hose. Not a problem and it works, just not typical of dump stations.
