Within Talladega National Forest, this hike-in dispersed campground sits near the intersection of the Pinhoti and Odum trails. The US Forest Service manages this free site, which requires campers to pack in all gear on foot. A cleared area includes an established fire pit, while large boulders provide natural windbreaks during cold weather.
Water access depends on seasonal conditions, with sources potentially running very low in winter months. Campers should bring extra water during dry periods rather than relying on pumping from nearby sources. The Pinhoti and Skyway Loop Intersection Campground offers another backcountry option just northeast for those wanting a different trail access point.
