Mini Camp 3.5

Hikers and boaters gain access to Mini Camp 3.5 through a one-mile trail from Big Eddy Campground, starting with a steep climb before leveling into forested terrain with ferns. The US Army Corps of Engineers maintains this boat-in, hike-in site with a fire ring, picnic table, and vault toilet. A long walkway extends from the main trail to the campsite, providing separation from foot traffic. The site includes a shallow boat ramp and direct reservoir access for water collection and swimming. Fees range from free to $10 per night, and pets are welcome. Mini camp 4.7 sits three miles north for campers wanting another remote option.

Sweet little spot

This is an easy 1mi hike from Big Eddy Recreation area on the Big Eddy trail. Ok, correction, challenging out of the gate with a fairly vertical start but levels out quickly and you’re suddenly submerged in the trees and lush ferns. This spot has a long walkway out from the main trail offering tons of privacy. Great shallow ramp for a boat and easy access the a dip is the res or to get your water to filter. Fire ring, picnic table and vault toilets make for a comfortable stay. The closest site to this is another 3ish miles north. Waters are spectacular shades of blue and the trees in the sunset are hard to beat!
