This campground is a short walking distance from the visitor’s center where most of the trails start and where you can get potable water. It’s very pretty and peaceful. I heard pileated woodpeckers, barred owls, and saw a possum at my site.

The sites are a bit close but still feel private. Close to a pit toliet and easy to find, very accessible campsites. I loved the views and and the park.

It was enjoyable. Make sure you bring your own water as there is not running water in bathrooms. They cut wood for fire pits which was great. We enjoyed it.

Site 10 was the best! Perfectly situated away from the parking area with plenty of space for my backpacking tent! Because the overnight temperature fell into the mid-teens, it was a bonus to have a fire ring that I put to good use.

I enjoy camping in walk in sites. However, the name of this campground is at best, aspirational. There are only mature loblolly pines, no longleaf. Longleaf pines have been planted, especially in the field between the campground and group site, but they are still very young. It would have been nice to have had closer water access.
