Within Ossian State Forest, this dispersed camping area operates under NYS Department of Environmental Conservation management along Scoville Road. The primitive sites offer basic amenities including toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings, with both drive-in and walk-in access available for campers traveling with pets.
Recent visitor reports indicate maintenance challenges affecting site accessibility and trail conditions. Fallen trees block several trails, while overgrowth has made some primitive sites difficult to reach. Road surfaces show wear that may require careful navigation.
