## Overview

 Kiasutha Campground sits on the Kinzua Arm of the Allegheny Reservoir in northwest Pennsylvania, offering countless water activities. 
## Recreation

 Visitors enjoy the large, grassy beach for swimming and relaxing. A boat ramp and dock allow visitors to enjoy the vast lake for boating, and a paved trail leads to an accessible fishing pier. Campsites offer a variety of views and conditions, from shaded forest to views of the reservoir, primitive walk-in camping or RV camping with electric hook-up. Some sites are back-in and some are pull-through for easier access.
## Natural Features

 The Allegheny National Forest covers nearly half a million acres and is populated primarily with black cherry, maple and other hardwoods. The Kinzua Dam, built in 1965, impounds the Allegheny River to form the 25-mile-long Allegheny Reservoir. Since Kinzua Creek flowed into the Allegheny RIver, a part of it is also impounded, creating the Kinzua Arm. It is a little narrower than the main Allegheny Reservoir, allowing for a little more intimate connection between water and shore, and is not as subject to weather as the more open main reservoir. This campground sits on forested hills off the Longhouse Scenic Byway, a 29-mile loop that circles the Kinzua Creek Arm of the Allegheny Reservoir.

Beautiful campground on the allegany river. Very quiet and relaxing atmosphere. The campsites are not on top of each other and are separated by plenty of trees and brush. It is very clean and pristine campground.

This was a nice retreat on the reservoir. We stayed for one night and enjoyed our stay. The beach is awesome and the facilities were good. Vicki our host was great with suggestions. This side of the reservoir is louder and busier than the other side, but still enjoyable. 

Busy family friendly and large group camps sites.

Second time visiting ANF area, this campground is equally as nice as DewDrop! Sites are spacious and separate from neighbors! Plenty of space for 2 tents! And everything including the restrooms are clean!

Fun little playground nearby too!

Also to note, we did not make reservations, but were able to drive through and pick open site we liked the most!

The front gate workers were kind and informative with giving advice on how to best explore the area! Including visiting Kinzua Bridge and the Zippo Lighter Museum!

Overall, would camp here again!

There are some GREAT secluded spots IF you don’t have a dog. The dog specific campgrounds are small and spaced kind of close. I’d love to return and try one of the more secluded ones closer to the water.

Beautiful

For the most part we loved this campground.

Pros -
Sites are well spaced and most have plenty of trees in between.

Shower house is clean.

Multiple buildings with flush toilets throughout primitive section. 

Large beach area for swimming.

Boat launch and dock.

Multitude of trails to get to lakeshore from different points in campground.

All of the roads and parking pads in the primitive section are paved.

Cons -
The campground "host" in the primitive section was by far the loudest and most disruptive site in the entire campground for the 7 days we were there. Multiple dogs barking all day and night, people yelling and cussing at each other, giant fires every evening, screaming instructions to their children halfway across the campground.(Not the "manager" in the RV section)

Roads and parking spots in RV section are gravel, which would be fine, except for the ruts from water flow that need filled back in.

There are several RV sites that have the electrical boxes installed but supposedly never had the wires ran and so power is not available yet. The manager said it has been like that for quite a while now but will supposedly be fixed by next year (2024).
