Summary
It’s a primitive, first-come-first-served spot catering to self-sufficient campers. No toilets (bring a trowel), no potable water, and no hookups. Some areas may have fire rings, but amenities are minimal. Accessible by high-clearance vehicles, this remote, forested area near the Red River Gorge Scenic Byway offers solitude amid dense hardwoods. Ideal for hikers and nature lovers, it’s close to trails like Rock Bridge and Whittleton Arch. Best visited in spring or fall for mild weather and colorful foliage. Expect a peaceful, back-to-nature experience.
