Nearby Camping Info

Charcoal Hearth Campground, located in Michaux State Forest in Pennsylvania, is a peaceful, primitive camping spot perfect for those who want a more rustic outdoor experience. Situated within the vast Michaux Forest, Charcoal Hearth is surrounded by miles of beautiful hardwood trees, rolling hills, and scenic hiking trails, including the famous Appalachian Trail, which passes nearby.

The campground offers basic amenities, including fire rings and picnic tables, but it’s strictly a “pack in, pack out” location with no electric hookups or modern facilities, making it ideal for campers seeking solitude and simplicity. Given the minimal facilities, be sure to bring all necessary supplies, including water and waste bags.

Firewood collection is usually restricted to protect the forest, so plan to bring your own or purchase from local suppliers before arriving. Check for fire bans, as restrictions can be in place during dry seasons. Charcoal Hearth Campground is a fantastic spot to unwind in nature and explore Pennsylvania’s scenic Michaux State Forest.
