Red Bridge (PA)

We’ve stayed at this campground before and had a good experience. I know the weather was bad and that’s not the fault of the campsite. However, when we got there our campsite #22 was already pretty wet and marshy. When it rained we had a small creek flowing through our site and eventually had some standing water covering the entire site. I walked around and didn’t notice that there was much standing water on other sites. I just think that this site could use some work on the drainage issues.

We have camped at Red Bridge in the Allegheny National Forest 3 times so far in 2021...once in May, once in June and once in July. We usually have a great experience. However, when we were there in May, the first loop shower house had EXTREMELY hot water in the showers with no way to adjust them. The Host on that loop (right next to the shower house) was informed about the HOT water. In June, only a week or two later, I went to the OTHER shower house just in case Loop 1's hadn't been fixed yet and it was perfect. In our July trip, my husband said "Of course it's been fixed by now", so I went back to Loop 1's shower and it was painful it was so hot. My husband took a meat thermometer in and recorded at least 120 degrees for the shower temp...5 minutes of 120 degrees can scald you.
As long as I'm bitchin', we were there during a July storm...lots of wind. There are several large, dead branches hanging over a lot of the campsites which need cut off before someone or a vehicle is hurt/damaged. And some money should be spent gravelling almost every campsite to avoid sloppy, muddy messes when it rains. In spite of my complaints, Red Bridge is a good campgound and we plan to continue to go there...I just don't want to get killed or scalded!!

Be careful if you are planning to pitch a tent since many tent spots have no grass and are rocky. They should limit the tent sites to only tent camping and not allow RVs, which tear up and destroy the grass.

Great Campground! We loved it, great for kayaking.

We loved our site and the grounds are well maintained. We enjoy kayaking and Red Bridge is a great place to go. With the water level being high, there is a lot of area to cover that under normal circumstances would not be available.
