Best Dispersed Camping near Weogufka, AL
Weogufka State Forest offers several primitive backcountry sites for hikers seeking off-grid camping experiences in central Alabama. Most sites require walk-in or hike-in access with limited amenities, though many feature established fire rings. The backcountry site near the Pinhoti southern terminus includes a platform built on an old building site with a remaining fireplace and metal rings for attaching rain flies. A recent review noted, "There is not any water right here so you will either have to carry it in or hike down to one of the nearby streams to fill up."
Further north, Hollins Hunting Camp provides more accessible off-grid camping with drive-in options suitable for overlanders and tent campers. The area features open clearings with tall grass and pine-needle covered grounds that work well for ground camping. According to one visitor, the site has "a good road and decent open spots to set-up" though it "lacked good signage on the last turn." For backpackers seeking more remote experiences, the Skyway Loop and Chinnabee Silent Trail areas offer numerous primitive sites with varying access to water sources, established fire pits, and natural features like ridge views and waterfall proximity.
