Allegheny/Kiasutha Recreation Area

Although spot 92 was somehow a mudhole with a slight break in the drought, overall it's very nice. The access to the reservoir was easy in multiple places. The bathroom was old fashioned but clean. The push button hot water is awkward.

Great campground, there are some waterfront sites that are excellent, and the rest of the campground is great as well. The facilities are in need of an update, (like most), but there is hot water, and a shower, (only 1 of the 3 stalls were in working order the last time I was there, and it was not the handicap accessible stall). The location of the campground is very good for quiet nights, open sky, and access to the reservoir.

Nice area to get some camping done. Fire pit and picnic table included, and rates are low. Restrooms a short walk away and shooters available.

Perfect campsite in the national forest. Site 66 was right by the water and couldn’t have asked for a better view of the reservoir. They had clean bathrooms but the showers looked like a saw movie but what can u complain about🤷🏻 it’s the forest

First let’s start with the positives- layout of the campground is great and most spots are quiet and somewhat level. Some spots are full hookup bust most are primitive or some with just electric and water (no sewer). There are lots of fully grown trees for good amount of shade in the morning and late afternoon. The fire pits are wonderful and seem modern. The lake is beautiful and there are plenty of fish for all. And now for the NEEDS improvement- let’s start with the road into the campground. I hope you like the constant speed bump as the roadwork has the road cut up about every 50 feet. Some of the spots are OK but many are soft and depressed and create quite a bump as you go over them, so take it slow. The spots have gravel and grass. The gravel they choose was made from the sharpest and pointiest gravel known to humans. The grass area next to it is soft dirt for the first four inches, then it seems like it is compacted stone. We were not able to pound in many of our stakes vertically and instead had to use a steep angled approach. Next is the showers and bathrooms- they are there, and they could use a Major renovation. For example- in the showers, the directions are to turn on the hot water at the sink, then enter the shower stall, BUT you will have to figure out that there is a button to push on the outside of the stall to push every minute or two. So, while being lathered up with soap, the water turns off, then you have to open your shower stall door and exit (buck naked) in order to turn the water back on. This made for a few awkward moments. For the full hookup campers, the waste dump tube is elevated too high, so we observed all of the campers running their tubes uphill to drain the tanks. Now I am no water engineer, but I don’t think water is going to flow uphill with just the help of gravity. My ranking for this campground is compared to other Army Corps of Engineers Recreation campgrounds that we have stayed at, and not comparing this campgrounds to PA state run campgrounds. Those who know, know.
