The staff is friendly and maintains cleanliness, particularly in the bathrooms. While there are some concerns about a stump at site 9 and the availability of firewood, overall, visitors enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and numerous hiking opportunities.

This was my second stay at Heart’s Content, and the first with my wife and 4 year old daughter. We all had a fantastic time, and I’m hoping that we can make it an annual trip. There are a ton of trails in the area, and the old growth forest across the road from the campground is beautiful. My daughter enjoyed the playground and looking for bugs and salamanders under logs and rocks and leaf piles. My wife likes getting out and seeing various points of interest when on vacation, and the entire National Forest and surrounding areas are within day trip range of the campground. We took a day away from camp and visited Kinzua Bridge, and the Allegheny Reservoir and Kinzua Dam, and had dinner in Warren before returning to camp. In addition to hiking, I enjoy lounging around and reading when I’m on vacation, and the campground provided a nice quiet place to do so. I highly recommend Hearts Content for a nice quiet camping trip, with plenty of options for fun activities nearby.

We had a wonderful stay at Hearts Content. The host (Jim) was extremely personable and informative. One of the cleanest campgrounds I’ve even been at.
