As of 4/12/23 Google Maps can't navigate you to this location. However, if you enter the State Forest from the Holloway Rd. entrance and use some common sense you can find this campground. The roads and campsite itself are well maintained so go forth with zeal and enjoy the journey. Nestled in a small grove of low oak trees, this camp ground has plenty of room, a composting toilet, new picnic tables and many options for hikes, drives and bike rides. This spot is amazing and I look forward to returning here again! TICK WARNING: In warmer months ticks are here especially in off road areas. Have a plan. Be prepared.

Very pleasant lime rock roads leading into pleasant live oak hammock with several primitive campsites with new picnic tables, grills and lamp poles. Nice outhouse. Only problem was the nonpotable water pump was not working when we were there, like a bad valve that wasn't allowing pumping to work. Also, it was difficult to make the reservation as the website and brochure had listed incorrect phone numbers and dead email addresses. The lime rock roads around the forest wood seem to be pleasant for light off-road gravel biking.

Very nice tent campground (Not suitable for RVs or trailers). There is no water or electric but plenty of natural beauty. Please remember to do your part and pack your trash out. Entrance is from Hwy 100, there is an immediate fork after crossing the paved state bike trail, go right at the fork.
