Kayaked from Kinzua Dam to here Sept 15 2020 and stayed at 61. The boat ramp is the only way to haul your yak to the campsites, and it is quite steep. The sites 59, 60, and 61 are located close to the ramp - maybe 200 ft or so, and are lined up close to each other with not much separation or privacy. But they are clean with picnic tables and fire rings, but no electric.
Toilet is very close and clean. Water same. Short walk to buy firewood from the camp host and to deposit trash.
Sites are about 20 ft above river level so you are not on the water. These sites are close to the group camping area, so check this out before you go. Overall a good place to camp on a multi-day river trip.

Restrooms during COVID-19 Pandemic on a Sunday - Wednesday stay were not cleaned well at all or as often as they should have been. We have stayed here numerous times and the restrooms have always been extremely clean and well taken care of - not this time. :(

Overpriced, relative to the many other high quality recreation.gov sites we've stayed. Getting a quality campsite is lucky draw or you know the layout of the site number you're reserving. Instead of same price for all sites, they should redesign their definition of premium.
