Minister Creek Campground
The "Little Alaska" campsite on the forest floor.
The Minister Creek Campground is a small, intimate site nestled along the banks of Minister Creek, often called the "Little Alaska" of the Allegheny. This campground serves as the base camp for the Minister Creek Trail, famous for its labyrinthine rock formations and massive boulders. With just a handful of sites located directly on the forest floor beneath a canopy of towering hemlocks, it offers a primitive and highly sought-after experience for backpackers and those looking to immerse themselves in one of the forest's most ruggedly beautiful canyons.
