Cherokee Dispersed Camping

Cherokee National Forest provides free dispersed camping through this drive-in and walk-in accessible area near Copperhill. The US Forest Service manages these sites without developed amenities or reservations required. Campers can access spots by vehicle or on foot depending on terrain and preferred location.

The dispersed format means no designated sites, restrooms, or water sources. Visitors should come prepared with their own supplies and follow Leave No Trace principles. Little Gassaway Creek sits less than a mile southeast for those wanting developed facilities instead.
