River access draws campers to this dispersed site along the Conasauga River in Cherokee National Forest. The campground features approximately five or six camping spots accessible by two-wheel drive vehicles via a gravel road. Reviewers note the river runs clear and warm enough for swimming, with good fishing opportunities available.
The site sits directly on the water, making it convenient for anglers and those wanting to cool off during warmer months. Campers report the area attracts local visitors and can become crowded on weekends. The Forest Service provides drinking water and trash service, while allowing campfires and pets. Visitors should pack river shoes for walking in the water and expect higher usage during peak seasons.
