As you near Boggs Run Vista, you’ll start descending towards a point, and you’ll see a primitive campsite just before you reach the vista, at GPS coordinates 41.31271, -77.70300.

My advice is to plug both the trailhead and vista coordinates into your favorite hiking app or GPS unit, and then download the offline version of that map before you head out on this trip, so that even if you lose cell signal, you’ll still have GPS signal and can easily navigate to/from the vista.
