Free and hike-in only, Trail 200 Site G is one of the larger established backcountry sites in the Sipsey Wilderness section of William B. Bankhead National Forest. The site spreads across a wide footprint with multiple firepits, giving groups of three or more tents enough room to spread out while maintaining some separation between individual tent areas. Drinking water is accessible nearby. Arrive early. Reviewers note the site fills up regularly, and claiming it on a busy weekend is not guaranteed. Campers looking for a smaller footprint nearby can check out Sipsey Wilderness Backcountry Site (Trail 200 Site F), about 0.3 miles to the northwest, or browse places to camp around Double Springs for developed alternatives in the area.
