Summary
No reservations or permits are required; sites are first-come, first-served with no fees. Amenities include picnic tables, fire rings, and accessible vault toilets, but no potable water or hookups—bring your own supplies. RVs can access the area, but the narrow gravel road is better suited for smaller vehicles. Enjoy quiet surroundings, trout fishing in Rock Creek, and nearby trails like Benton MacKaye. Best visited in spring to fall for pleasant temps, lush greenery, and active wildlife.

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.
