Great option on the ridge

Like many sites along this section of the Pinhoti it is right off the patch and provides a large space to set up your tent with a nice campfire ring in the center. Although my favorite site in this area is definitely McDill Point this is not a bad option if you cant make the trek all the way there or if that site is already full. One of the major things to be aware of though is that this site has no water access any time of year (unless it is actively raining) so make sure to carry in any water you will need. If you are doing the full cave creek loop there is plenty of spots to pump fresh water on the second half of the loop but you will need to make it there with what you hike in with. If this site is taken you can always head a little further along and find other sites since there are many options in the area. Also, you will definitely need to check out the views as you get closer to McDill point since it opens up and is spectacular.
