Minister Creek Campground

Perched along the gentle flow of Minister Creek, this campground captures the essence of secluded forest camping with its intimate scale and prime location within the Allegheny National Forest. Minister Creek Campground offers six family campsites, each equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and tent pads, and provides minimalist but essential amenities like vault toilets and hand-pumped water. The absence of modern conveniences such as electricity underscores its appeal as a retreat for those looking to unplug and reconnect with nature.

Directly across State Route 666 from the campground lies the trailhead for the popular 6-mile Minister Creek Hiking Trail, which loops through stunning forest landscapes and connects to the North Country National Scenic Trail. Trout fishing in the crystal-clear waters of Minister Creek and nearby Tionesta Creek enhances the experience, making this a compelling destination for anglers, hikers, and solitude seekers alike.

Located approximately 14 miles southwest of Sheffield, Pennsylvania, the campground serves as a gateway to the expansive beauty and recreation opportunities of the Allegheny National Forest. Whether for a quick weekend getaway or a longer escape into the wilderness, this intimate and scenic campground is ideal for nature enthusiasts looking for tranquility and outdoor adventure.
