Summary
No reservations or permits are required, and camping is free. Amenities are minimal—vault (pit) toilets are available, but there's no potable water, hookups, or trash service, so pack in/out. Sites include fire rings and picnic tables. Accessible by car, but not suitable for large RVs. The setting is forested and peaceful, near Tellico River, great for fly fishing, hiking, and enjoying nearby Bald River Falls. Best visited from spring to fall for mild weather and flowing waterfalls. A rustic, quiet escape for nature-lovers seeking solitude.

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.
