No reservations or permits are required, and camping is free. Amenities are minimal: vault toilets may be available, but there’s no potable water, hookups, or RV facilities. Campers should bring their own supplies. The area features grassy, open terrain near wooded sections and is close to ATV trails, horseback riding, and Lake Murray’s clear waters. Best visited in spring or fall for mild weather, it’s ideal for self-sufficient campers craving solitude, open skies, and proximity to outdoor adventure.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
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.
