Site E along Trail 200 sits on a sandbar at the river's edge in the Sipsey Wilderness section of William B. Bankhead National Forest, managed by the US Forest Service at no cost. The site is small, fitting a single tent on flat sand beside a built-up fire ring. Flooding is a documented concern here. The river can rise quickly, and campers who set up at this low-lying spot risk waking to water intrusion. Nearby alternatives such as Sipsey Wilderness Backcountry Site (Trail 200 Site D) are worth scouting before committing to Site E. Drinking water is available, pets are permitted, and the site is hike-in only, so check river levels before heading out.
