Updating my previous review with additional photos from another trip through this site. Addendum for spring is that it can get overgrown so be prepared to watch closely for the trail markers.

Nice Stream

About a year and half ago my wife and I backpacked a 50 mile section of the Bartram trail over 4 days and on the last night of the trip I proposed to her on top of a mountain. This was the campground we stayed at the first night of our trip after climbing for half the day. First off this is a backpacking only site and it is a pretty serious hike from any direction to get here so I would only suggest checking it out if you are through hiking the Bartram. In that case it is one of the nicest campground options in the area. It is a beautiful spot right along a stream and in a very secluded area. There are also plenty of trees further down the trail to hang your food for the night and a campfire to cook dinner around. We were so happy to have such a nice spot to start off our trip and I would highly recommend it for anyone else taking the amazing trek of the Bartram trail.
