Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
About 5 dispersed camping spots all marked. The road to the first few is a little bumpy but I did it in my van. The others were too rough for my van but a 4WD could do it or you can just park at the first ones and pitch your tent at the ones further up the road. Next to a creek. Super lovely. Next to the road, so definitely noise but not too bad.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
This place was a bit easy to miss from the road, and I ended up having to backtrack. I got there about 5 pm, and the first spot already had someone there. I was nervous about going up to the higher spots because I had like 0 offroading experience, but I ended up getting to the top spot with very little difficulty in my nissan rogue. Slept peacefully and had no one else around me. When I came back down the next morning at around 5 am, I noticed a total of 3 different car campers were all crammed into the spot at the bottom and no one else tried to come up the hill. Glad I went for it despite my nerves. I was a bit surprised so many people were there, even on a random Wednesday in May. Seems to be a very popular camping spot with the limited availability in the area and the proximity to the AMR parking area a couple minutes down the road. Definitely some road noise all throughout the night since it is right next to the road, but it wasn't bad. Absolutely no T-Mobile service.
Report Check-InAbout 3 secluded campsites accessible by an unmarked road just a minute north on the 73 from the Chapel Pond road stop. There has been some erosion in the area so the roads leading to the upper sites have a lot of exposed big rocks jutting out, would only recommend high clearance vehicles passing through. The lower campsite was a large clearing with a firepit and good even ground to camp on. There is a nice clear stream nearby, as well as a small outhouse up on the hill. Some noise from the road but not terrible.
There was a sign noting high bear activity so be sure to keep all your food in the car!
Only about 2 spots you can access with a 2WD low clearance vehicle. spots open up during the day, but there are almost always people parked on top of each other at night. We stayed 4 days and had an overall good experience. This is a great spot considering it's proximity to hikes and that there is limited camping in the area.
Report Check-Injust past chapel pond trailhead when heading north but the turnoff is easily missed. (there is also a port o potty at chapel hill if you need it). site had some good flat areas with an ample fire ring. some people left trash over the weekend unfortunately. some traffic noise but not too bad
