Summary

There are no amenities—no toilets (bring a trowel), no water, fire rings, or picnic tables—so come fully prepared. Accessible by high-clearance vehicles, it’s best suited for tent camping, not RVs (no hookups). Set in a beautiful pine forest, the area is quiet, remote, and popular during hunting season. Nearby Four Notch Loop Trail offers a scenic 9.2-mile hike through hardwood bottomlands and pine uplands. Visit in fall or spring for milder weather. Ideal for solitude seekers and experienced backcountry campers.

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.
