About

Previously designated as a campground, the site now operates exclusively for day use with no overnight camping allowed. The facility features six picnic spots with tables and vault toilets. No potable water is available, so visitors should bring their own. Access is via an unpaved forest road. The picnic area serves as a trailhead for the Philpot Interpretive Trail, offering a pleasant hiking opportunity through the surrounding forest. There are no fees to use this site. The area is open seasonally from May 1st through mid-October, weather permitting.
