What Guests Are Saying

Tracy Ridge is a great destination for friends or groups seeking a quiet, private outdoor experience, with well-maintained trails and mostly private campsites. Many visitors appreciate the peaceful atmosphere, especially at night, and have returned for years. However, amenities are limited, with no potable water or showers on-site, requiring a short drive for modern facilities.

We went to Kinzua State Park to walk on the sky walk. Also hiked at Rimrock. Both beautiful places to see & experience.

Fine campsite, but the water available though the Tracy Ridge hand pump was horrible.
