Handsome Lake Campground

What a gem of a location! The Allegheny Reservoir was a treat to be off-grid, relaxing in nature. Beautiful lake. The campground was lovely. Isolated on Thursday and Friday, filled up on Saturday. The vault toilet was a nice amenity to have nearby.

One of the nicest places in Allegheny National Forest PA. Handsome lake trail is great for a hike and campground is on amazing position with great view and never busy. Please make sure to not leave any trash after and respect nature.

Beautiful spot in the Allegheny National Forest along the shore of the Kinzua Reservoir. This campground is rustic and only accessible by boat or foot via the North Country Trail.

Cool boat to or hike in campground. About a mile paddle in from Roper Hollow Boat launch. $12 pay yourself fee per night. Sites are a little bit small. Don't expect to fit more than 2 tents per site. There are 2 nice vault toilets. No drinking water available.

The campground is very neat and orderly and anyone wishing to camp at a rustic location this is ideal. I was there not for the campground but for the challenging backpacking that the whole area offers. Hikers wishing for a full body workout will not be disappointed backpacking in this area.
