Looking for a semi - secluded tent camping spot in Western PA?
adas
Hi I live in Pittsburgh and want to go camping in a semi-secluded area with some type of water (creek, river, pond, lake) for fishing and to be able to have a camp fire at night drinking a few beers. Most places around me or that I know of all the camping spots are right next to each other, that are run by the state, which means no drinking at night by the fire and your super close to the next camper . I want a place that I can camp and not be near people. Anyone know any within a 2 hour radius? I'd be willing to pay a fare amount of money to have this.
Also, we would like to go 9/2/2011 -9/4/2011.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!
Thanks!!

yes, plenty of places in Allegheny National Forest but you need to be willing to hike back in a few miles for a secluded area. The John P Saylor Trail about 2 hours east near Johnstown is a nice 13 miles loop with a lot of pretty tent sites along it including some streamside (though I doubt there is much to fish for). No charge to camp there but also no services (like toilets or drinking water.) You'll have to pack in all you need..
Bear in mind this is a holiday weekend and you may not be able to be terribly picky about being "secluded" or snagging the most desirable spots, especially if you plan on a drive-up site. Nearly everyone wants to camp by the water and any site with good fishing is likely to already have people laying claim to it. You might want to consider renting a canoe and going down Tionesta Creek up in the Allegheny Forest. Lots of cool campsites on sandbars along there and no one will bother you.
Another option is about 2 hours south of the 'Burgh in Coopers Rock state park in West Virginia. There is camping in the park itself (if you are discreet about your alcohol use, not whooping naked around the fire, you are not likely to be bothered) and also more relaxed camping across the highway from the park (same exit but go the other way) at Chestnut Ridge campground. It's a developed large private camping area with some cabins and a stocked lake, but there are also some wooded primitive areas where you can have a bit of privacy.
Check the PA DCNR website for recommendations on fishing. Since I don't fish I am not an expert on areas that would be best for that.
