This campground sits on a ridge top three miles east of the Allegheny Reservoir just minutes south of the PA/NY state border. This 45-site campground provides spacious, tree-shaded campsites in an area that is heavily forested with oak.
The campground contains one of the two trailheads for the Tracy Ridge Hiking Trail, with one loop circling the campground. The North Country National Scenic Trail, which connects to the Tracy Ridge Hiking Trail, also goes past the campground.
