Summary
Reservations and a permit (required year-round) can be obtained online or by phone; nightly fees apply. Each site includes a fire ring and picnic table, but there are no toilets, water, or RV hookups—self-sufficiency is essential. Access is via gravel roads; high-clearance vehicles recommended. Expect a rugged, quiet forested experience with scenic ridge views. Nearby attractions include the Paw Paw Tunnel and Green Ridge hiking trails. Best visited spring through fall for mild weather and foliage. Ideal for solitude seekers and experienced campers craving off-grid adventure.

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.
