Dense woods and thick undergrowth surround this rustic camping area, located just minutes off the main road within Apalachicola National Forest. The US Forest Service maintains at least seven camping spaces here, including three van-sized pulloffs and four larger spots suitable for tent camping. Hitchcock Lake sits at the campground's edge, though it functions more as an extension of the Ochlockonee River than a traditional lake.
The campground operates year-round and welcomes pets. Access requires a short drive from the main road through forested terrain. Campers seeking a more developed experience might consider campgrounds around Apalachicola National Forest for additional amenities and services.
