East Branch Campground offers a peaceful and clean environment, perfect for relaxation and enjoying nature, with stunning views and a large lake for boating and fishing. Visitors appreciate the campground's remote location, friendly staff, and engaging activities for families, such as the exploratory building run by knowledgeable Army Corps workers. While some amenities, like a playground and improved dump station access, could be enhanced, many campers express their intention to return for another restful stay.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nice park. The roads leading into the park are a bit steep and rough. And it's confusing on trying to find the park office. We eventually found the host which was very helpful.
The reservation system was somewhat confusing if you're not familiar with the park. There were plenty of sites to fit our 30 foot camper plus our Ram 2500, but didn't show up when we were looking online. We ended up in site 17 which is down a scary narrow road. But the site itself is wide and deep, but has no electricity.
The dump is sited at the end of the one way road. It's basic but functional if not somewhat hard to position your rig to keep from blocking the road and still be able to dump. At least it's slanted the correct way for dumping tanks efficiently.
