Campers can drive directly to sites that accommodate RVs up to 15 feet, with a large pond providing fishing access at the front of the area. Multiple tent sites spread throughout the forest offer hiking trail connections.

Recent visitors report significant trash accumulation from illegal dumping, with full garbage bags and discarded furniture scattered across the area. Long-term occupants have also been observed living at the site. The forest setting includes miles of hiking trails and stream access, though site conditions vary considerably.

Looked like a local trash dump

Drove in skeptical after reading some Google reviews about trash and a gator. Didn't expect the amount of trash that was actually there. Full trash bags and furniture were dumped here all over. Wasn't sure if it was from local illegal dumping or from the two guys who appeared to be living out of their '96 honda civic. We flipped around and headed elsewhere which is a shame because it would be a great spot minus the large amounts of trash and long term "campers"

POW Camp/Tuxachanie Trail

This is part of the DeSoto national forest. I've been camping here since I was a little boy. At least 40 years. Miles of Hiking trails and plenty of good spots to pitch tent. Huge pond with fishing out front. Beautiful stream Running through the woods. Really? Off the beaten path but a great spot to camp.
