Summary
Expect primitive amenities: no toilets (plan to pack out waste), no drinking water (bring your own), and no RV access or hookups. Some sites have fire rings and makeshift seating. Nestled in a remote, forested area near the Appalachian Trail and Gulf Hagas gorge, it’s ideal for solitude and hiking. The vibe is quiet and natural, perfect for backcountry enthusiasts. Best visited late spring through early fall when trails are clear and water levels are manageable.

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.
