Small site near watch tower

Drive up Rich mountain and you will find a spot just before the tower to camp. There is a decaying picnic table there. Views from the tower were amazing, pack it in… pack it out. No water either

Good access and hand full of spots scattered around on NFR 31. Please pack in what you pack out.

Very secluded

A handful of car camping spots are available. The road intersects with the Appalachian trail so you might meet up with some thru hikers. I recommend walking all the way up to rich mountain fire tower. Great 360 degree view of the e mountains and good sunset spot.
