Picnic table, fire ring, lantern post, flush toilets, trash The camp is right off the highway and in the spring I am sure it is beautiful with the amazing dogwood trees. Right now it is very sad and very neglected. It is sitting right next to the National Forest work center and it sure needs some work. There was no one at the work center and we could not tell where one site began and where one ended. There were limbs down all over the site and because of the leaves it was hard to even tell where to drive. The door on the ladies restroom was broken and could not be closed. The campground itself could be beautiful but neglect was seen everywhere. We spent a quick night and left. There was no fee box or notice.

LegendAt the beginning of the forest
Inside the Kisatchie National Forest, Kisatchie District next door to the Ranger Station where you will find all trail maps and forest information. This campground offers water, designated sites, flush toilets, trash disposal and a great starting point to exploring the forest or just traveling down Longleaf Trail Scenic Byway. I would suggest if you will be in the forest for a few days to start here, get your maps and spend some time planning your route. Load up with water because not all campgrounds have it.
