To take a step back in time exit I24 at Monteagle, and follow Tn41 toward Tracy City. Grundy Forest signage is found along the road. Grundy is part of the Fiery Gizzard Trail connecting it and South Cumberland State Park. Some of the areas you hike/backpack through are privately owned so leave no trace so the public can continue to use the area.

The primitive campground is close to the parking area at this end. There are several primitive campsites as well as a cabin that can be reserved if you are hiking the distance. The views are AWE-some!

The nice thing about the campsite so close to the parking lot is if you are a novice or have kids you get the experience without the distance . Gives you an opportunity to see what you forgot :)

There is a "latrine" on site, smell included no extra charge. Reserve, reserve, reserve, this is a popular area for through hikes. Fire rings and mostly level cleared areas.
