Summary
A free camping permit from the DCNR is recommended. Sites include picnic tables, fire rings, and access to pit toilets, but there’s no potable water or hookups—RVs can enter but must be self-contained. Nestled in a quiet, forested setting, it provides a rustic camping experience ideal for solitude seekers. Nearby trails include the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail and Wolf Rocks Overlook. Best visited from late spring through fall for mild weather and vibrant foliage, the area offers a peaceful, scenic base for hiking and nature exploration.

Camping Essential Practices
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.
