Cherokee National Forest's Goforth Creek corridor holds several free, hike-in dispersed sites, and Campground C is among the smallest of them. It fits a single tent or a couple of hammocks. The site includes a firepit and direct water access, though those amenities are consistent across the other sites along the same trail. Campers who arrive to find the first two sites taken may want to continue up the trail to this one or push further to Goforth Creek Campground D, a short distance northeast. Those researching campgrounds around Cherokee National Forest will find that free dispersed options like this one are common in the area, managed by the US Forest Service with no fee required.
