About Long Bottom Ford

Escape into the heart of untamed wilderness at this secluded primitive campsite, where towering trees create a natural cathedral seven miles from the Stumphouse Ranger Station. Here, modern distractions fade away as you embrace the authentic camping experience, surrounded by the whispers of ancient forest and the promise of adventure just beyond your tent flap.
Long Bottom Ford offers primitive camping options only. There is no indication of RV, cabin, glamping, or group camping accommodations.
Natural Features and SceneryImmerse yourself in a dense canopy of emerald green, where shafts of sunlight pierce through the leafy ceiling to dance on the forest floor below. The melodic rush of nearby waterfalls provides nature's soundtrack, their cascading waters creating misty veils that catch the light like scattered diamonds. This pristine woodland sanctuary offers endless opportunities to discover hidden groves, spot native wildlife, and breathe in the earthy perfume of moss-covered logs and wildflowers.
Geological RegionNestled within the magnificent expanse of Francis Marion and Sumter National Forests, this campsite sits in a landscape shaped by millennia of natural forces. The surrounding terrain showcases the region's signature dense forest ecosystems, where ancient hardwoods and evergreens create a multilayered tapestry of green. Nearby waterfalls carve their timeless paths through the bedrock, testament to the powerful geological processes that have sculpted this breathtaking corner of the Southeast.
