Summary
There are no established campsites, fees, or hookups. Amenities include vault toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and grills, but no potable water—bring your own. RVs can access the area, but space is limited and primitive. Set in a peaceful, forested setting in the Jefferson National Forest, it’s ideal for quiet, rustic camping. Nearby attractions include Fenwick Mines Day Use Area with a short waterfall trail, wetlands boardwalk, and scenic overlooks. Best visited spring through fall for mild weather and lush scenery.

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.
