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.
At the beginning of Old Culp Valley Road is a pull-out just before a sign that says “no camping beyond this point”, implying that camping is allowed up until that point. Stayed overnight with no issues and enjoyed a STUNNING pink-tinted dawn.
Just up the dirt road are two more spots to park and hike around. One on the right has a sign that looks like it’s marked for camping, but it’s just that someone scratched out the red line marking it NO camping. I did note that someone spent the night at one of the spots.
Old Culp Valley Road is currently rated 4WD only by the state park website, and starts getting washed out just past the two hiking spots, so don’t take your 2WD rig past there. I did hike up to the road’s summit, where there are some archaeological remains to be viewed. This is sacred land, I could feel the energy there, so please be very respectful when exploring here.
INSANE VIEWS, spectacular scenery, will be back many more times. Verizon service had one bar but couldn’t send out a text. Further up the hill I had two bars.
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
Based on the previous post, we decided to give it try and we’re not disappointed. We parked at the pullout. The cellular services for T-Mobile/Verizon came and go. There’s 3 bar service for T-Mobile up the road a little after the homesite.
