Exposed but great view
This is a campsite at the peak of Cheoah bald along the AT and a short way off of the Bartram trail. We came up on this peak while hiking the Bartram a year and a half ago. There was another person staying here at the time so we continued along the trail and stayed at a campground that we loved which I reviewed in a separate post. The main advantage of this site over others in the area is definitely the view. Situated on the peak of Cheoah it is higher than anything around and gives you an amazing, almost 360, view of the area. We got to see sunset there and it was so gorgeous. The downsides to this site are the exposure, since its a bald, and the lack of any water source to fill up from. The site is only accessible by hiking in several miles and is really a climb from any direction so be prepared for a workout. There is a nice flat area to set up your tent and a firepit for those cold nights in the mountain. Also be prepared cause the weather in this area can change very quickly. Overall if you are through hiking the AT and not the Bartram this site is well worth checking out.
