Sulphur Spring Trailhead

Accessible via Petit's Gap Road, this dispersed camping area requires navigating a one-way gravel section with moderate grade to reach the trailhead parking. The site accommodates about three vehicles and involves a moderate difficulty walk-in to reach camping spots. Mature hardwoods provide forest cover throughout the heavily wooded area, while rocky streams flow nearby.

Campers should prepare for the graded gravel access road, though turnouts allow passing traffic when needed. The walk-in requirement means packing gear a moderate distance from vehicles. For additional camping choices, explore places to camp near Natural Bridge Station.

One lane road

As you continue up Petit's Gap Road (pronounced pet - its) it becomes one way gravel with a moderate grade, but there are plenty of turnouts to allow for passing traffic. At the trailhead there is parking for about three cars, and a moderate difficulty walk-in. Scenic, heavily wooded with mature hardwoods, and rocky streams.
