Summary
Reservations are not required; sites are first-come, first-served with a modest nightly fee. Amenities include pit toilets, seasonal water access, picnic tables, and fire rings; there are no RV hookups or electric. RVs can access the area, but the campground caters more to tent campers. The vibe is quiet and rustic, set amid hardwood forests and near scenic hiking trails like the Clear Springs Wilderness. Spring and fall offer the best weather and foliage. Dispersed camping is also allowed with a free permit from the forest office.

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.
