This will be my first post to this forum, so please, be patient with me, and if I'm not using proper nomenclature or lingo, then correct me! Now that THAT's done with....
My fiancé and I are tent campers. Two years ago, we started using our vacations to visit/camp the United States' National Forests (So far have done Wayne National, and Shawnee National). We try to camp close to where we park because, while we love nature and camping, we tend to go kind of "gear heavy", and there are just some creature comforts we'd rather not go without (campfire tripod with dutch oven, percolator, air mattress, etc...some wouldn't even call it camping what we do). We also camp with our dog, and she has a condition that causes random seizures, so we like to stay within 1/4mile (TOPS) from the car so we could get outta dodge if anything happened. BUT (and it's kind of a big "but") we like to maintain some privacy; we're quiet people, we don't "get rowdy" in the woods like some people, and while that's fine if that's what you have on your docket, we'd rather not be subjected to it.
All that being said, this summer (august) we're planning to go to Allegheny National Forest. Having never been there, can anyone who has camped it, or knows of anyone who has, shed some light on where we might be able to find a good, proximate, site? Really, any info about the forest AT ALL would be helpful, and very much appreciated.
Thanks!!!
