Patterson State Park

First Come, first served style honor system campground. There are envelopes and a list of fees. A ranger does come through generally daily to check and make sure everything is above board and no one is wrecking the place. Dogs are allowed as long as they are on a leash. (unlike cherry springs) Its bare bones there is a rustic toilet and one water source centrally located for everyone to use. The sky is almost as clear as at cherry springs with maybe a little light pollution from coudersport or sweden valley in the north. You can definitely see the entire milky way though. Trailhead for part of the susquehannock trail is right there too if you want to hike. If you do be advised there are no sweeping vistas and it is level until it goes down the mountain eventually to a stream. Very nice hike regardless. Definitely recommend this place if you have a dog and still want to see the milky way.
