Camping, jumping off of rocks into water?

[Deadman 94 xj]

I'm planning to do some camping this weekend with the family. I'd like there to be some rocks around that I can jump off of.

Can anyone recommend a place that's relativley cheap and not tooo far away? Like within 2hrs of the city?

Thanks! The only place I can think of is Ohiopyle but I'm not sure about camping up there.

Ohiopyle is the place to go, there is camping up there too.

How big of rocks are we talking? Cook Forest has some boulders along the Clarion River and a nice campground.

Thanks! I'm probably just going to head up to HP since I know of a few good swimming holes and I found a couple of camp sites that look good.

There's also nelson's ledges not to far from the city and good camping. i think it's about 40, 45 minutes away. I can let you know more details later having trouble remembering where it is.

Met up with Tom this weekend for little jumping off of rocks action.

It was a good day haha, we need pics of me and Matt canoeing, I don't know what we did wrong the first time down that rock LOL

[Deadman 94 xj]

Great pics! I wish somebody would have got Matt trying to one hand a beer on the rope swing LOL.

[Deadman 94 xj]

Oh yeah, Mark your kid is awesome.

Those pics above are the pics of the attempt of the one handed PBR swing. That was fun up there, and I second that Hunter is one badass 9yr old, that rock we were jumpin off was easily 15-18ft high i'd imagine!

[Deadman 94 xj]

Hell ya. I'm glad everything worked out like it did. We had a blast.

Now it's back to reality. SS, you need to get your lazy butt under that scout and bring it out next time!

Thanks, I will tell him. I fear the day he discovers how much fun it is to jump his BMX bike.

[OverkillZJ]

That one handed rope swing with a beer didn't work out so well for me, but it was funny! I tweaked my hand all weird, it's still weak. Totally worth it.

We should have a bike to jump off of the ledge

[pghchamp]

that rope swing looks like an awesome time

[Deadman 94 xj]

It was cool. I face planted one time which was not cool.
