Our cabin was locked when we arrived. We were directed to leave a message at all phone sites. It was a saturday. No camp host available. At last minute found a maintenance man leaving work who got us in. Place is severely understaffed.

East Branch Dam Campground is a beautiful location for camping. It is located about 16 miles from Ridgway, Pennsylvania, which is a very nice small town. Appalachian Arts Studio is located there at the top of Boot Jack. They sponsored the Chainsaw Carvers Rendezvous in April 2022. It was a great success!

There are some really nice restaurants in Kane, Pennsylvania, which is just a short commute from the campground.

If you rent a cabin, be sure to bring a table and chairs in addition to your air mattress and bedding. Also note the the water is not potable so bring plenty of water.

Our camp site was perfect and the guys that came around and hung the names on the sites to reserve for campers, where extremely informative and very friendly! One complaint thou, we was in camp site 19 and our last nite we was there, a couple of cars with very LOUD mufflers were racing up and down the road (hill) where you drive down into to launch the boats. This went on for about an hour and it was around midnite. Didnt want to complain but someone should monitor that hill after dark, as someone thought it was a drag strip for their loud cars.

Nice place, we liked the separation from other sites. Hilarious story to share. Arrived at our reserved site to find another guy and his wife had just backed in. Still hooked up. Only had awning down. He was friendly and left right away. For whatever reason decides not to retract awning as he moves to next site. My buddy says as is becomes apparent he is going to leave the awning down "this isn't going to go well". He's almost at the next spot and sure enough, clips a tree with the awning. Causally gets out, assesses the situation, backs up, and tries again. Best part - awning is electric - push button retract. The wife looked jacked. Happy camping!
