Summary

Camping is free. Amenities are minimal—no flush toilets or water available, but most sites include fire rings and picnic tables. Suitable for tents and small RVs (no hookups). The forested setting offers a peaceful, rustic experience with access to hiking on the nearby Susquehannock and STS trails. Wildlife is abundant, and stargazing is excellent due to low light pollution. Best visited May–October for mild weather and accessible roads. Ideal for solitude and nature immersion.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
