Several miles down Squirrel Gap Road, this National Forest dispersed camping area sits right off the roadway with a steep entrance leading to the main site. The spot features a decent-sized clearing with an established stone fire ring and ample firewood available on-site. Campers can bring pets and build campfires at no cost.
Access requires driving multiple miles on Squirrel Gap Road, with both drive-in and walk-in options available. Cell service reaches the area, and the location provides access to fishing and hiking trails. For those wanting more developed facilities, Trout Pond Campground offers a different camping experience to the south.
