Forest Road 503 leads campers to this dispersed camping area at the end of a dead-end route in Bienville National Forest. The US Forest Service manages this drive-in site, which features a center turnaround area for parking and maneuvering larger vehicles.
One recent visitor noted the main parking area remained fairly clean, though litter in surrounding vegetation created concerns about overall site maintenance. The road-end location provides isolation from through traffic, and the turnaround design accommodates multiple camping setups. Campers should prepare for primitive conditions and pack out all trash, as this dispersed site lacks facilities or regular maintenance services typical of developed campgrounds near Forest.
