Small clearing

This is a small clearing alongside the Glen Falls trail with an established firepit that would work for a night of camping. However, I would definitely recommend looking at other options in the area, especially the site at the bottom of the falls since this one is not a great option. It is very close to the parking area and trailhead if you are stuck in a situation where you need a night to camp though.
