Deep in the ridgeline terrain of Talladega National Forest, this hike-in backcountry site requires serious climbing to reach the elevated position. The US Forest Service maintains this free dispersed camping area with basic amenities including drinking water and fire pits. One reviewer notes the large site works well for groups, with convenient log seating arranged around the fire ring.
While the campsite itself lacks direct views, nearby overlooks provide vantage points within walking distance. Campers can bring pets and alcohol, though the steep approach means packing light is essential for the ascent to this ridge location.
