Summary: The Roundbottom Camping area (mile 47.8) is one of only a few free campsites along the Youghiogheny River Trail. Located 3 miles upriver from Layton the only access is along the trail. There are picnic benches and porta-johns but no water pump (that I am aware of). The TOPO! Overlay file included with this review contains data for the entire 70 miles of the Youghiogheny River Trail from McKeesport to Confluence.
