About
US Forest Service campground. This primitive camping facility is located between McClellanville and Honey Hill. A short camp loop swings through an upland pine/oak forest and encircles a fire lookout tower. The fire lookout tower is no longer in use. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
