I was bikepacking down the GAP on my way to DC & stopped by here. The hiker/biker area isn't especially large, but can probably support 8 tents or so if I recall correctly. There's a fire pit w/ a grill top, a couple tables and bike rack. I had a pleasant experience, and the awesome volunteer host showed me where the spot was and checked me in. I felt safe the entire time.

Biked the GAP Trail and used the hiker/biker site. Hot showers, flush toilets, potable water and close to town.

Lack of electric in the tenting area for cell phones and electric bikes. If electric is needed for a tenters, the only option is rent a regular space which usually has no easy water access and darn near impossible to drive a tent stake in. And no tenting on the spot of grass allowed.

Relaxing campsite alongside the Youghiogheny River. We enjoyed camping with our dogs, going kayaking (there's a small boat ramp at the camp), bike riding, exploring, and relaxing. The camp is fairly open, with well maintained facilities and easy access to Ohiopyle just a few miles down the river.

We found the facilities to be in very good condition. The sites are well spaced out. The campground hosts were friendly. It was nice being so close to the railtrail.

This campground is so nice and it’s right on The Great Allegheny Passage and the Youghiogheny River so there are lots of wonderful outdoor activities nearby. Confluence is a cute little town with a couple of nice restaurants. We will definitely be back!
