Customer Reviews
Seems like a great spot to camp. There isn't a creek right at the sites, but there's one nearby. We didn't camp but love the route to here - it's such a nice, isolated drive and this is a great spot to let the dog out to stretch her legs. Seems well taken care of.
I'm not exactly sure how I would rate a primitive campground. We were there on a cold rainy weekend at the end of October, so needless to say, we were alone. There is a paved forest service road only a couple hundred feet (or less depending on the site you choose), but while we were there, I don't recall seeing or hearing another car. The sites are flat and there are grill/fire pits and picnic tables at each site, and a pit toilet at one end. There are gates at either end that are locked. Call the Forest Service to request a reservation ($10 a night) and get the lock combination. I will say this, make sure you have a flashlight and patience to unlock the gates. I have a small trailer that I pull with my jeep and I am useless backing up, so pull through sites are perfect for me. If you have the chance to camp here in late October, this is a stunning area in Autumn. The colors were beautiful. I live in Western NC, and this is only 20 miles from my home and this is why I moved here from NJ.
Great spot to bring horses. Many trails to choose from. Campsites could use some maintenance.
Remote,quit,mountainous terrain for sure…would like to bring our horses but better to hear from someone that’s rode recently make sure to blocked trails.
Very nice horse camp with bathrooms, not much water close. It could use a well.
