Best Dispersed Camping near Marbury, AL
Weogufka State Forest provides backcountry camping opportunities near Marbury, Alabama. The forest features a backcountry site with a platform built on an old building foundation, with the original fireplace still intact. This site is located near the southern terminus of the Pinhoti Trail but lacks immediate water access, requiring campers to either carry water or hike to nearby streams. The platform includes metal rings for attaching rain flies, making it suitable for tent camping.
Hollins Hunting Camp offers more accessible dispersed camping with drive-in access and open areas for setting up tents. The camp features decent roads leading to open spots that work well for overlanding vehicles with rooftop tents, though small camper trailers can also navigate the area with careful attention to turnaround spots. According to a recent review, the area has "tall grass in open areas, but some have enough pine trees the pine needles make for better ground camping." Visitors note the site lacks facilities and signage on the final turn can be limited, but the area remains quiet with minimal crowds and offers excellent stargazing opportunities due to open sky visibility.
