Summary
No reservations or permits are required, and there are no camping fees. The campground features pit toilets, no potable water, fire rings, and picnic tables. It’s primitive—no RV hookups, and RV access is limited due to rough roads. Nestled in a scenic, forested valley along the Buffalo River, it offers a peaceful, back-to-nature vibe. Nearby hiking trails include the Goat Bluff and Cherry Grove Cemetery Trails, with historic homesteads and river views. Best visited in spring or fall for mild weather and vibrant foliage. Ideal for rustic, quiet getaways.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
