A couple of friends and I are going to allegheny tomorrow. I haven’t been there in a while and am not too familiar with any of the campsites they have there. (I know there’s another thread on allegheny, but i figure its a different type of question and stuff). It’ll be 3 people, and we’re going for 2 nights. I’d like a site with a firepit to cook stuff, and a little more isolated if possible. its a bit more of “lazy man” camping… anyone have any good suggestions? ---

if you don’t have reservations, you probably can’t get a site by just showing up. We have reservations for next week-weekend and I had to make reservations 2 months ago!! But anything in Redhouse is good. Good Luck! ---

If you walk into Alleghany you still have a shot at a cabin. Ask for one on Parallel Trail. They don’t take reservations for those but they are on a first-come, first-serve basis. They are all kinda fucked up but still get the job done. #23 is the best of the lot up on a hill by itself. ---

well i guess we’ll be heading to tracy ridge. first come first serve with about 120 campsites so we should be good. next time we go, i’ll make sure to reserve a site at a more scenic campsite 🙂
