This campsite located west of Buzzard Swamp on south of Lamonaville on Loleta Grade Road, offers a real wilderness experience on a large open campsite -- but has excellent cell services for those wanting to work remotely or just watch a video on their phone. Definitely check outside the campsites on Lamonaville Road along the Gurgling Run, which in recent years have been improved with hardened gravel pads and other enhancements by the Forest Service.

Do note that section of Loleta Grade Road along the East Branch of Millstone Creek is permanently closed since Superstorm Sandy, so you will need to access this area from Lamonaville or Forest Road 287 from Belltown/Millstone.

In the afternoon sun.

The Allegany Reservior is in the foreground, and below the tree cover there is dozens of these cute little stripper oil wells.

The James Morrison bridge is sometimes called the Cornplanter Bridge on USFS maps, though the Seneca's reject the term as they consider it to be an insult as they were flooded out of their land once promised to be their own for eternity under eminent domain. The bridge has narrow shoulders and low guard rails, though one time I walked out on it, and the public not prohibited from walking on it by sign or other measure.
