Camp Comet

This is an awesome layover site (2 sites) for anyone attempting a mini bicycle tour of the silver comet/chief ladiga trails. Make sure to camel up before. Water=no Fire ring/grill=yes Tent pads=yes

I found two gravel campsites each with a grill, a fire pit, and a bench. Nearby is a short walking trail to the hilltop, and a disc golf course. We had to clean up after a previous camper who left their trash, but it's free, nice and in good shape. There was some noise from the nearby highway, and the railroad tracks are close, but there was no train traffic to speak of. As others have noted, there is no water available, and only a port-a-john about a quarter mile east.

Coming back to edit my review: as of my visit on 6/9/18 a lot of the campsites are officially on private property. I think there are still one or two left closer to the road crossing, but the ones I stayed at previously are no longer accessible. This will make them near impossible to find unless you've visited before, and I am no longer considering this location a viable camping spot: EMERGENCIES ONLY IMO Pros: flat tent spots if you happen to get stuck on the trail. Close to a parking lot if you need extraction or to start off on a Friday. There is a small pond nearby if you have a water filter, but it is stagnant and quite nasty. Parking lot has a port a potty. Cons: No running water or flush toilets. Not even sure if there are tent pads that still exist. Gate is locked and has private property no trespassing signs all over.

great spot for bike packers or bike tourers. My buddy and I spent a night here on 11/9/21 on our cross country trip. no running water, picnic tables or bathrooms but it had 2 clean spots with gravel pads and benches.

Bike in only camping off the Silver Comet trail. Be prepared to rough it, no water or facilities. Mosquitos ate me alive, but I had a good time enjoying the sounds of owls and the wild life and testing out my new camping gear.
