Customer Reviews
NO FRESH WATER AT CAMPGROUND! The well is capped off. My second stop of my week of canoe camping, found better developed sites, that were level and properly trenched for rain runoff. However, many sites, particularly the ones nearest the outer limits of the campground, were badly neglected, picnic tables rotted beyond use, and fire rings, from years of ground erosion, suspended high above the ground, making them useless for cooking on. Apparently, Hooks Brook is the campground city folk come to stay. Many noisy people blaring radios, dogs running loose, firecrackers. Again, I stayed at the farthest fringe site that wasn't dilapidated, to avoiding the noise, but it didn't stop their dog from coming into my camp and nosing through my gear. Also, seems people don't leave firewood for othe
Accessible only by water or serious hike. There are restrooms, but no garbage cans. You bring it in, you bring it out. Had a great time!
Bathrooms disgusting, picnic tables falling apart, and even some been abused and thrown upside down. Been camping on kinzua since it was free to camp and free to park. Now we have to pay for both and less maintenance is done now then back in the free days. Allegheny site management, where's all the money going???
Pretty nice campground and their toiles remains quit clean than we expected, 99% of the campers respect the quiet hrs … remember bring $12 in cash for the campsite fees…
Can only be realistically accessed by kayak or hiking to. Its rarely used and rarely maintained, but it does have a restroom and firepits.
