This free dispersed site requires hikers to access it via the Pinhoti Trail system within Talladega National Forest. The small backpacking campground sits near McDill Point intersection, offering an established fire pit and cleared space for multiple tents. Campers must pack in all water since none is available on-site.
The site provides an alternative when the nearby group camping area reaches capacity. To locate the campground, hikers head uphill at the trail intersection that leads toward McDill Point. For those wanting developed amenities, McDill Point Backcountry — Cheaha State Park sits just 0.2 miles north.
