Forest service camp
Level spaced out sites, probably better for tents but our small camper was fine. It is about 5 miles on dirt road to get there but the road is maintained. Pinhoti trail goes through the camp so plenty of hiking to do. No cell service at all. Nearly all sites have table, fire ring a lantern stand. Very nice creek runs on one side.
Secluded $3 stay with a bumpy ride
For $3 this campground was worth it all in all. Points to consider: -The drive in is 8 miles in on an unpaved, backcountry road with varying inclines on slippery mixture of clay and gravel through hunting recreation area. We were in a Ford Explorer. Everybody else was in trucks. Good for them. -Seemed to be no hiking trails in immediate area so you’re confined once you get there if you were hoping to explore outside of the campgrounds..unless your car is well equipped for that backcountry road in. You can take a walk on the road that gets you there. We did find an interesting old cemetery off the trail. -no potable water -no electricity -there are port a potties -it’s beautifully silent out there aside from fellow campers -sits along a creek -it’s $3
Simple
Stayed here Saturday 4/23/22. Was exactly as described. Got there at noon with plenty spots available. (There were still 4-5 spots available upon bedtime) Many sites had picnic tables, fire rings, and tent pads. I put $5 in the fee box (i think it may be $3?). I camped in my car in site 11. Has vault bathrooms that were stocked with toilet paper. Sites are spaced out pretty well. There’s about 4-6 miles of gravel road leading up to the campsite. Google Maps got me there just fine from Cheaha state park (1 hr). Overall no cell service for AT&T & Verizon - For Verizon, I had 1 bar pop up twice for a few minutes. No lighting at night- be sure to bring plenty flashlights. Has a nice little creek you can walk over to. Lots of families, friendly folk around at my neighboring campsites.
