Nantahala National Forest manages this small clearing alongside the Glen Falls trail, where an established firepit marks the only real amenity beyond a drinking water source. It sits close to the parking area and trailhead. Campers should know that proximity to the trailhead means foot traffic from day hikers passing through. The site works as an emergency overnight stop, but the Glen Falls Backcountry Campground a short distance south draws stronger reviews. Free to use and open to pets, this spot is best suited to campers who need a last-minute base rather than a planned destination.
