A gravel parking lot at a Delaware State Forest trailhead, Thunder Swamp Trailhead sits within places to camp around Delaware State Forest and draws hikers heading out on routes like the Saw Creek trail toward the marsh. Shade is plentiful. Camping here is contested territory, though: at least one ranger has enforced a no-camping policy, citing the availability of permitted sites nearby. Campers who want a more established setup can head roughly a mile up the road to S006 Thunder Swamp at Delaware State Forest, which allows motorized roadside camping with a permit.
