We had a very difficult time getting here from the main road. We stayed at Trail Ford because on the map it showed being close to a parking area. We had a wheeled cooler and a wagon with our gear so we didnt have an ideal backpacking situation. We parked off the side of the 471 across the street from the West Tract parking area. From there it was a little under 2 miles but took almost an hour. Definitely worth the hike! We stayed on the Florida Trail until it broke off with a blue trail marker. From there its a few hundred feet until you reach camp. Decently large open area with 2 picnic tables and a bench. There was also a fire ring with a hinged grate which was very handy for cooking. We were a short walk to the water which kept camp cool during the day but pretty buggy at night. We used repellent but were still eaten alive by mosquitoes. I definitely reccomend a long weekend here; I only wish we had packed a little lighter!
