Morrison Campground

A great campground if you want a little adventure. I kayaked from elijah boat launch to site 3. Bring water and everything you need. There is firewood but you do have to look for it. Also make sure to have cash on hand for the launch and campsite.

We hiked from route 59 and stayed at site 23. The site was great and the hike was outstanding. Mountain laurel was in full bloom for us this weekend.

NO FRESH WATER AT CAMPGROUND! All spigots have been removed. Fourth and final stop of my canoe camping trip. Numerous nice, level sites, but many were already occupied. I did find one gem under a big maple tree that provided wonderful shade on the hot day. This campground is different. Very spread out, and a lot of overgrown trails crisscrossing between sites. But again, the running theme of sites neglected the closer you get to the outer limits of the campground, persists. Some were comical, with just a site number post on an overgrown trail.

The view of the Allegheny is absolutely gorgeous as well, especially if you're willing to get up early to watch the sunrise over the hills. If I had to find any gripe it would be that I like to hang my fo

Paddled in from the Elijah Boat Ramp and set up in site #8, the only one on the water I found that I could set up my hammock. Nice and quite, campground was very clean. Keep in mind that there is no running water at Morrison, vault toilets only. If you have a water filter drinking and cooking water is on hand from the reservoir.
