Definitely out of the way and you will think you're lost but once you're here it doesn't get much better for dispersed camping. I barely have LTE T-Mobile service at my site but its enough to post this review so good enough. Not much for down trees and such so firewood is a bit tricky to come by and there is an outside wood ban in effect which means if you're bringing your own wood into the forest you're putting the forest at risk of infestation.

Nice camp sites for car camping. But since they are first come, there's a good chance you're not going to get a sight to camp at. There are vault toilets. The clarion River is beautiful and very short walk from the sites. There is very poor cell coverage in the valley

It is a true blessing to have free campsites, central/eastern Pennsylvania doesn’t offer much free camping compared to other states. These dispersed campsites along river road are hidden and it’s hard to tell where you’re even allowed to be camping at. Your best bet is to find a spot that already has a fire pit. This place is packed all summer and usually in the off season too. It’s really hard to find a spot to camp at, especially one that’s close to the bathrooms a result of there not being any free camping anywhere close by

Very peaceful. Will definitely come again. Being first come first serve you take the chance of not getting a spot. We were lucky to find one spot open.

Free camping along the Clarion river with pit potties close by. Went in late October and the colorful fall leaves and winding river views. I think we were the only campers at the group of 4 sites in this river spot. Enough room to pull our camper van in and even some fire rings to enjoy some hot dogs and s'mores. Not many FREE camping experiences like this travelling through Pennsylvania.
