This is a nice National Forest Campground in the Allegany National Forest. It’s about 13 mi from Sheffield, PA which is the closest place for restock supplies at a mini mart and a Dollar General. Warren/North Warren is about 20 mi and has the Walmart and other stuff.

It has one forested loop with 26 sites, ours was number 16 and it was plenty long for our 35A and toad. We had a nice picnic table and fire ring. There are a couple of pit potties around the loop as well as a couple of water faucets. Dumpster is across from the dump station; the camp host is right at the entrance and is very visible driving through with her buggy.
If you’re looking for a large group area it has a nice area on the south side of the loop. If you’re up for hiking, the forest has a lot of opportunities. Kinzua Reservoir and the Allegany River are 21 mi northeast and can keep you busy all day. Remember you are in the PA Wilds, so don’t be surprised if a bear or raccoon makes a nocturnal visit. Besides the above two there are also foxes, coyotes, and whitetail deer. There are also plenty of birding opportunities as well.

This CG is quiet and peaceful and off the beaten path, as with most sites they are 80 to 90% tree cover, great for keeping cool but not so much for Solar and Starlink or Dish. Generators can be run in non-quiet hours. Sites are plenty far apart and they are all easy to get into.

Great forest campground for cheap.

We love camping here! The camp host was fantastic and kept the bathrooms clean. It would be great if there was firewood available and there used to be ice available as well.

Beautiful location, we printed out the orienteering map before leaving and had a great time completing one of the courses.
