This free backcountry site requires hiking in along the Chinnabee Silent Trail within Talladega National Forest. The US Forest Service maintains this dispersed camping area alongside the river, positioned far enough back to avoid flooding concerns. Campers can pitch tents on the larger, more developed site that accommodates ground-based camping better than hammock setups.
The location sits close enough to a waterfall for evening swims before dinner. Early morning hikers pass directly by the campsite on the trail, so light sleepers should consider timing. During busy seasons, securing this popular spot requires arriving early, though multiple dispersed options around Talladega National Forest exist along the trail system for overflow.
