About This Location

Experience primitive, year-round camping at Morrison Boat Access Campground. Accessible by boat or trail, this free USFS site sits on the Allegheny Reservoir.

Morrison Boat Access Campground offers a truly unique, off-the-grid escape nestled on the east bank of the Allegheny Reservoir. Set within the serene landscape of the Allegheny National Forest, this primitive site is perfect for those looking to disconnect and immerse themselves in nature. Because it is accessible primarily by boat or via the Morrison Hiking Trail, the campground maintains a quiet, secluded atmosphere that feels worlds away from the bustle of modern life.

The terrain is rugged and natural, providing a classic forest experience at an elevation of 1362 feet. Amenities are basic, featuring vault toilets and a nearby boat ramp for easy water access, but visitors should come fully prepared for self-sufficient camping. There are no hookups available, making this an ideal destination for tent campers or experienced RV enthusiasts who enjoy a rustic, pack-in-pack-out lifestyle.

Whether you are arriving by water to spend the day fishing or hiking in through the scenic woods, this free federal campground serves as an excellent basecamp for outdoor adventure. It is best suited for those who appreciate primitive conditions and the raw beauty of the reservoir's shoreline.
