This is our favorite place to camp but they don't offer early or late season camping. Some of your best camping is in April, May, September and October. We are a self contained trailer and do not need to have restrooms open but would like to have the electric available for use. YOu wouldn't have to man the security booth as the reservations are done online and the rangers are still at the dam and make their rounds thru the campground if it would stay open past Labor day.

It was nice to have the availability of a full hookup for a very good price. The privacy between the various campsites provided by natural shrubs and trees was an enjoyable feature. We liked the location of the campground at the edge of ANF and the Allegheny River. It would be nice to have the campground open through the first part of autumn.

Love this campground. Enjoy the full connections and the area. Wish it was open longer so we could visit more.

The campground is well maintained & we really enjoy staying here. The only bad part was it rained several times, which of course is not your fault. We will definitely be camping here again.
