Summary
There are no toilets, water, fire rings, or picnic tables, so campers must pack in/out everything. RVs can access the area via dirt roads, but there are no hookups. The vibe is secluded and peaceful, with forested surroundings along the Ochlockonee River, ideal for paddling and wildlife watching. The Florida National Scenic Trail passes nearby. Best visited in cooler months (October–April) to avoid summer heat and bugs. This site suits self-sufficient campers seeking solitude and natural beauty.

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.
