Campground Overview

About Hooks Brook Campground

Rugged shoreline campsites offer a tranquil retreat for boaters and anglers on the expansive Allegheny Reservoir. Hooks Brook Campground provides a rustic, secluded experience with direct water access and scenic forest views.

This boat-in campground features 32 primitive sites spread along the western bank of the reservoir. Each site comes equipped with a fire ring and picnic table, allowing campers to fully immerse themselves in the natural surroundings. A vault toilet serves as the sole amenity, emphasizing the campground's focus on simplicity and connection to nature.

Located in the Allegheny National Forest, Hooks Brook sits just south of Webbs Ferry Boat Launch, about 15 miles northeast of Warren, Pennsylvania. The area is renowned for its excellent fishing opportunities, with species like walleye, northern pike, and smallmouth bass abundant in the reservoir's waters. Hiking enthusiasts can explore nearby trails that wind through the forest's diverse ecosystems.

The campground caters primarily to boaters seeking a peaceful base for fishing excursions or relaxing weekends on the water. Its isolated setting and lack of developed facilities make it ideal for those desiring a genuine backcountry camping experience within the picturesque Allegheny region.
