ScoutSomeone in our site
I booked a site here via the Recreation.gov website just as they require. We got to the campground and someone had set up several tents, canopies, etc in the site we had booked/paid for. There is zero cell service and the “pay station” tells you reservations are required via the app or call a number to book, which is ludicrous considering you have to drive 30 minutes down a windy forest service rd to get a cell signal. No sign of a camp host either. Not in the mood to argue with someone in the wilderness, we drove on. I appreciate technology, but it’s aggravating to pay for a site then not get to use it. Remote campgrounds need to be left first come, first serve with pay envelopes like the old days.
GuideGreat campsite along the Georgia Traverse overland route
Quiet and protected area beside Cooper creek. Easy to get in and out been with a small overland trailer.
GuideNot for Glampers
Great fishing. Nuff said. Outhouse toilets, manual water pumps, if you like it fancy then go somewhere else. Did I mention the fishing was great. All said aside, we had a great time. It’s close to other good fishing and the campsites were spaced out nicely. Stay with 14, 15, 16, they are the best ones. We stayed at 18. And it was good as well.
