Trace Branch Dispersed camping near Rock Creek Road provides free primitive sites approximately one hour from Dale Hollow Lake. Sites include basic amenities such as a fire pit and picnic table, with camping permitted directly along the shores of Rock Creek. Alcohol and pets are allowed, though the area lacks drinking water, electricity, showers, and toilet facilities. The access roads are suitable for drive-in camping with both tent and RV accommodation options, though larger rigs may find navigation challenging.
The sites experience varying seasonal conditions that affect camping experience. A review mentioned "Visited here in the middle of January with all the snow and I was hot tent camping. You can only set up your tent on the designated tent pad." Winter visitors should bring heavy-duty stakes for frozen ground. The area appears to have moderate traffic even at night, and campers should be prepared to clean up after previous visitors, as one camper noted "Lots of beer bottles left over and shattered so I had to pick up the trash before letting my dog out."
