Dewdrop Campground

Perched on a hillside overlooking the tranquil waters of Kinzua Bay, Dewdrop Campground delivers an immersive outdoor experience in the Allegheny National Forest. Its most striking features include waterfront views, multi-level tiered sites surrounded by hardwood forests, and proximity to a wealth of recreational activities like boating, fishing, and hiking. This campground is a haven for families, nature lovers, and adventure seekers alike.

Dewdrop's 74 family campsites are thoughtfully equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and tent pads, with select spots offering direct views of the Allegheny Reservoir. Modern amenities like flush toilets, hot showers, drinking water, and an RV dump station enhance comfort without detracting from the rustic charm. A dedicated boat launch provides easy access to the reservoir for campers, making it an excellent base for fishing, kayaking, or even water skiing. Trails like the 2.5-mile loop around the site and the Jakes Rocks Mountain Bike Trail add options for land-based exploration.

Located just southwest of the Kinzua Dam along the scenic Longhouse National Byway, Dewdrop is a short drive from attractions like the Kinzua Point Information Center, which offers breathtaking views of the reservoir. The campground’s setting provides an ideal mix of seclusion and accessibility, making it perfect for weekend getaways or longer stays to explore the forest’s rich beauty.
