Camped at backcountry site #2 and really enjoyed it. We camped November 3rd of 2020 on a Wednesday night. Despite having 4 sites back here we had the area all to ourselves except for a few hikers who had wandered off the trails. The sites were level and clean. There was a fire ring and picnic table on each site. The sites are also located on a stream that had plenty of water that we could filter a... Camped at backcountry site #2 and really enjoyed it. We camped November 3rd of 2020 on a Wednesday night. Despite having 4 sites back here we had the area all to ourselves except for a few hikers who had wandered off the trails. The sites were level and clean. There was a fire ring and picnic table on each site. The sites are also located on a stream that had plenty of water that we could filter and use for cooking and drinking. The hike in was only a half mile and mostly level. The privy was 2/10ths of a mile away so not too bad except it was a slight uphill to get to it. The Marble Mine was a short hike away so that was nice but it is uphill the whole way. Would highly recommend for tent or hammock campers that don't like the rv style sites. It's also close to the Pinhoti Trail so it could be used as a stop for the night with reservations. The fee was only $11.00 for the night.
