Awesome free dispersed/primitive campsites along Chester Creek (one of the “three” forks). There are 5-6 campsites along the creek, all first come first serve. 4WD vehicle recommended, especially if coming via Winding Stair Gap Road. There are a couple additional free dispersed campsites located along that route as well.

Drove from Atlanta via off-road forest service Jeep trails to Three Forks parking lot on the AT. US FSR 28-1 to Winding Stair Gap Road to US FSR 58 to MP 4.3

From Three Forks trailhead: 5 miles round trip to Long Creek Falls and then to Hickory Flats. Out and back right at 5 miles.

From three forks trailhead to Springer Mountain out and back is 9 miles.
