Tree Sawyer (Site 1)
Nice site. Close to the road, but beautiful stars and clean bathrooms.

Awesome camping experience!
Camp sites at the Austin Dam Memorial Park are some of the nicest I have ever visited. The grounds are meticulously maintained and there was a cooking grate and other camp fire cooking equipment at Site 4. I didnt have to use the stuff I brought. We stayed there in JUne at site 3. Due to "special event" traffic we were glad we stayed at site 4 down off the access road. To make our stay even more enjoyable, the annual Haunted Trail was one of the best "haunted attractions" I have been to in a very long time. I actors were fantastic and the planning was "top notch". The local folks with home made baked goods and grilled cheese sent us back to our camp site with over stuffed bellies and very glad we changed our reservation by one week to this past weekend!!.

Very nice park, been here twice now. Interesting history and beautiful landscape and foliage. Depending on the time of year, prepare for it to be cold. Valleys collect cold air so it'll be a lot colder than you expect. You get a nice amount of amenities as well.

Mess Hall (Site 6)
Site 6
Site was roomy, private (Site 8 looks to be the most private of all) and port-o-potty was very clean! Some road noise, but otherwise quiet, tho we were the only ones there (mid-week Sept with rain), so may be different when busy.

Bark Peelers (Site 2)
The best camping in PA
Once again, we had an incredible experience camping at Austin Dam Memorial Park! The site (site 2) itself is stunning—nestled in a peaceful, scenic area that offers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. The Water stream next to our tent set up lulled us to sleep. The Fire pit, with wood delivery (ordered in advanced), kept us warm next to our picnic table.. One of the highlights for us is always the night sky. It’s a stargazer's dream!
What makes this place even more special is that it’s run by local people who truly care about sharing this hidden gem with visitors. There’s something really unique and personal about it not being state-owned, but rather a community effort to preserve and celebrate the beauty of the area. You can feel the pride and passion in the way the park is maintained. We loved every moment and can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a serene, nature-filled getaway. But ssshhhhhh!

The site was beautiful in the woods. Lots to explore right from the site. The ruins of the dam were amazing and really easy to walk around. Also great place for stargazing.
