Tracy Ridge

Remote and quiet campground. About 20% occupied on a weekend in early August. We claimed one of the many FF sites that were open. Sites are all large with privacy between, generally level, partial or full shade. Lots of very tall trees. Vault toilets, pumps for potable water. Intermittent Verizon service with a mobile router and external antenna. There are about 15 hiking trail segments accessible from this campground, so great base for hiking. This campground has a rustic feeling and is not as groomed as others nearby, such as Red Bridge. Many sites are closed and not maintained. After settling into our wooded site, we noticed some large dead limbs high above our trailer, but took our chances and had no incidents.

It was a nice campground, affordable, Access to hiking trails, I was confused by the water pumps honestly. Only slight cell service for at&t

Arrived to a nearly empty campground. Only a few people on a weekday.

No firewood on site, so bring it with ya. Really good, cold water from the well!

Little bit of Verizon coverage.

Bad news - Gypsy moths are everywhere!!!!

This review will be based on tent camping not w an rv. I 1st came here in late 90’s w friends from school. If you like The feeling of being in the middle of nowhere and extreme fresh air this is the place for you! Lots are huge and never crowed. I think there’s 3 loops still open , 1 closed. Last time we went it was a honor system - put $ in envelope at box near entrance . Ranger might come by to check people and payment - and he/ she may not. There are no hook up electric /water ... just you and nature . Kinzua dam is about 40-45 min drive . Rim rock is a great hiking trail/park you ll pass on way to dam. Before that and much closer to Tracy ridge is boat launch or fishing area . Whether you’re going w a group to get a little crazy or you have young children that will enjoy just being in the woods and learning primitive style camping methods there’s enough space that all will enjoy. We have a camper now and will Definitely visit this place after we get a inverter/ generator .. ya spoiled now hahaha I can’t think of better camp spot for your dogs either ... as long as they listen they ll be able to stretch their legs a little too. Oh and the trail system for hiking is great too, one trail head takes to to the reservoir due East . There a also a campground out on main rd to the north just past a lil camp/country store that lets you pay couple bucks to shower there . Plenty of dead wood around to not even worry about bringing firewood and plenty of options for hanging multiple hammocks 😎 I’ve camped here maybe 15x over the yrs and still my favorite primitive get away.

This is a wilderness area campground. The sites a beautiful, but there are little to no amenities. The only water was from a hand pump at the far end of the loop, near the pit toilets. Loved this place.

I have visited this area many times, always with a tent. The majority of time without a reservation and always have a nice selection of sites with quiet dispersed neighbors. This area also is pay as you stay when you arrive. Scenery is pleasant and hiking is a joy. My big draw is moderate seclusion.

This isn’t next to the Allegheny River but you can hike to it from here. Nice simple site to enjoy nature. Pros: very large sites, very densely wooded, lovely in fall, good day hikes nearby, pretty empty, pit toilets, water, open year round. Cons: no tent-only area but there were no RVs there in early autumn.
