Small Skyway Loop Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Talladega National Forest's Skyway Loop trail hosts several hike-in campsites, and Small Skyway Loop Campground sits among them as one of the smaller, more overgrown options along the route. The site has a firepit and a flat area for tent camping, though the vegetation growth makes hammock camping a more practical choice. Access is hike-in only. Pets are welcome, and the campground is free. Campers who want a less-trafficked stop compared to the group sites nearby, such as Skyway Loop Backcountry Campground just 0.1 miles away, may find this spot suits that need, though those who want more open, maintained sites should look further along the loop. Cell service is listed as available. This site works best for solo hikers or pairs comfortable with a rougher, more enclosed camp setup.

Keep Going

This site is definitely less of an exciting spot as several others further along but it is smaller and provides a little more privacy than being at one of the other group sites along the way. Make sure to check out my review of Cheaha Falls Campground where I discuss the entire loop and the best times of year to visit. The site has a firepit and flat area for a tent like most but is more overgrown so you might be better off with a hammock if you decide to stay here.

Cool Firepit

This site is a really great spot to stay if you are backpacking the loop alone or with a small group in a single tent or hammocks. It has one of the coolest fire pits I have seen that is set up against a large rock. This makes it easier to build and control your fire while in some of the windier conditions you can get in the winter on top of the ridge. Another nice thing about this site is it is only a short walking distance back to the group site with the water but also close to the areas that provide the better views.
