Private Island w/ Paddle Moor Co.

This boat-in island campground sits on the Allegheny River near Tidioute, accessible only by watercraft or hiking cleared trails that connect to the main camping area. The private operation includes a cabin alongside tent camping spots, with maintained pathways throughout the wooded island. Basic amenities include restrooms, showers, and picnic tables, while campfires are permitted with firewood available for purchase.

Campers can paddle directly to the island after river trips, making it a convenient base for multi-day paddling itineraries. The surrounding river environment stays notably quiet, and the lack of artificial lighting creates conditions for viewing fireflies after dark. Cell service remains available despite the remote setting. For those exploring the broader region, campgrounds around Tidioute provide additional options along this stretch of the Allegheny River corridor.

Private Island! Amazing

Stayed here for a Ladies only weekend. It was absolutely amazing. 

The island has cleared trails to get to the campsite which seem to be maintained very well and on a regular basis. 

I stayed near the cabin and had the opportunity to have a tour. The cabin looks very comfy and there is a lot of space to crash and sleep. 

The option to have lights on or off was also a joy. When it was dark (pitch black) you could see all the fireflies. To be honest that was like a show in itself and made it also worth every penny of how beautiful it was. 

The land around the island is very quiet also. Also having the availability to paddle right up to the island after you are done with your trip is also convenient. 

I 100% recommend staying here.
