Great backpacking site

I have stayed at this site once but visited it twice now and it is really the second best on top of the ridge while doing the loop. We wanted to stay at the next campground along but were unable to find space. Make sure to check out my review of Cheaha Falls Campground where I discuss the entire loop and the best times of year to visit. The downside to staying this far along the ridge is that even in times with high water levels it is pretty far away and you will be trekking back and forth a good distance if you don’t fill up along the way. Additionally, this site is located right at the turning point of the trail so everyone who passes will actually loop around your site or pass right through it. Otherwise it is great cause you get a direct view out from the ridge and sunset is amazing!!! Make sure to spend some time out on the rocks at night since you can see every star in the sky. There is nothing special about the firepit but it is nice that there is space to set up several tents in different areas and there are plenty of trees for hammocks. Overall, its worth checking Skyway Loop Campground with view to see if it is available but otherwise staying here is not a bad option at all.

Little campground on the water

This is a nice little campground right along the river that is one of the few of its size at this point in the loop. I would suggest starting by reading my review from Cheaha Falls Campground which gives a good synopsis of the backpacking loop. This site has a large campfire ring with level space for a couple of tents and plenty of trees for hammocks. There is water here year round though that also means it can get buggy in the summer. We were here in the really early spring and it was amazing! Water levels were high and everything was just starting to bloom. The signage along these trails is also good and they are well traveled though there are a few stream crossings that can get confusing so keep an eye out for turns in the trail, especially in the fall or winter when there are leaves on the ground. If you plan to camp in this site but it is full there are other options in the area so just travel a little further down the trail.
