Down a dirt road

Berryman Campground is a lot like many of the dispersed campsites in Kentucky. You run through a visitor center in the area and get your permit then go find a campsite and set up your base camp.

No anemities here. Including the pit toilet which smells so ripe I would much rather use my hand trowel to dig a pit to use! You can bring your cell phone however it will pretty much be a paper weight until you return to civilization.

Pavillion, parking and horse tie out area adjacent trailhead.

Excellent place to bring the kids if you want to unplug them from the media world. Trails and bugs and things that go bump in the night. Pack the marshmallows and leave the electronics at the house.

Quiet, DARK and movie comparison ready ( Blair, Wild, Deliverience or Bambi you be the director ;)
