Cave Creek Trail Backcountry Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Hikers on the Pinhoti Trail have a reliable water source at Cave Creek Trail Backcountry Campground, accessible along the Cave Creek Trail with some walking required to reach it. The site sits large and level, built up from previous use, with a rock fire pit and a large tree that functions as a natural bench. It sees less traffic than nearby alternatives, so arriving early is not the concern it is at McDill Point Backcountry. A short hike from the site reaches an overlook worth the detour. Pets are welcome, and campfires are permitted. Campers wanting more pet-friendly camping near Talladega National Forest have additional options in the surrounding forest.

Small Primitive Site at Cheaha

Cave Creek is a nice, but small campsite at Cheaha Park. A big advantage to this site is its proximity to the parking lot. It can be found right off the trail and is large enough for only a couple of tents. If you like privacy, however, this is a great spot because its not large enough for multiple groups. This spot is very primitive but does have a rock fire pit and a large tree that can be used as a bench. If you stay here, you should definitely make the hike out to McDill’s lookout as it is quite beautiful and truly a site to see!

Great site with nearby overlook

If you are through hiking the Pinhoti or doing one of the many Loop hikes in the area it is definitely worth checking out this site. There is a great overlook only a short hike away and the site itself is very large, level, and built up from many previous campers. Another big plus relative to many other sites in the area is water access. Although you will still need to hike a little ways along the Cave creek trail there is a pretty consistent water source that you can fill up at. This is also one of the less trafficked site so you won't have to worry about getting there early like you would with the McDill Point site. Check out my review of that campground for more details about the hikes in the area.
