Learn more about alerts →Fall weekday campers who pack all their own water and can handle a truly primitive setup will get a lot for nothing here. Drive past the tower loop into the gravel road network and you'll find genuinely secluded sites under pines and oaks, no fees, no crowds.
Warmer months bring ticks on nearly every reviewer's list, plus weekend dirt bikes and gunfire from a nearby range that carry through the forest. Avoid site 8, which doubles as a local dump. A few visitors have found the social atmosphere here less comfortable than the solitude p

Fall is the sweet spot here. Daytime highs run 55-75°F, mornings are crisp, and the tick pressure finally drops. Migratory birds pass through, and the forest takes on richer color. Summer is hot and humid with aggressive mosquitoes and ticks. Winter offers dry, cool days good for hiking and spotting wildlife from the tower. Spring has decent temperatures but bugs return early. Weekends stay moderately busy in fall; weekdays are nearly empty year-round.
Winter is quieter with fewer bugs, making visits more comfortable per reviews.
