Important Note: The Cooper family has been kind enough to let Fly Pittsburgh use their fields for the past 10+ years, and our members always confirm use of the flying fields before using them. We always get permission to fly before using any of the fields or when using other facilities of the campground. And, all of our events listed are scheduled far in advance. Cooper's Lake Campground's operating season starts on April 3, 2004 and goes until October 31, 2004. If you are not a member of the Fly Pittsburgh Kite Club, please check in at Campground office before using any of the fields or campground facilities.
