Go if

Hikers and history buffs get the most out of this place. Cascade Falls and Dowdell's Knob are legit destinations, the Little White House is a short drive, and site 507 draws repeat visitors for good reason. Fall temps in the 55-75°F range make October the prime window.

Skip if

Big rigs will fight the narrow, rutted roads and site 304 is a known problem for larger setups. Tent campers sensitive to sleeping on gravel will want to bring extra padding. A handful of reviews describe unwelcoming interactions toward campers outside the rural Southern mainstre
