Not very scenic if you're coming in from 471, except for in small bursts, but the Trial Ford campsite itself is quite well kept. There's plenty of space for tents, and a couple of picnic tables, a bench, and a fire ring are offered. The trail from 471 to the campsite feels less like hiking a trail and more like just walking down a service road, but that's sometimes what you get.

There is no water pump on the trial ford site, (at least not that I saw), but there is access to a river not far away from Trial Ford . Signs clearly point the direction.
