Dry Fork Campground

The Pine Ridge Campground a few miles down the road was full, so we ended up at 1 of the 8 sites here. This is an equestrian campground that allows non-horse campers, but prefers you check Pine Ridge first. We had a fine one-night stay while traveling through, but encountered A LOT of ticks on the overgrown trail. BEWARE of ticks and check yourselves and your pets if staying here. No cell service.

The place to hike

We love hiking this area. There are fields and wooded areas along with a beautiful creek. It’s fun to search for mushrooms and you are guaranteed to see deer and turkey. Great flowers for viewing in the Spring as well.
