Only twenty minutes from the matrix, and miles away from the sound of trains and highways. When we arrived there were only a few other guests and we were unfortunately the noisiest while getting set up. The Tuscarora Trail used to go by here but has since been rerouted. Sites do have the claimed picnic tables, fire rings with an adjustable grill and pea gravel tent pads which measure 15x12 feet. The wonderfully chilly stainless steel seats in the privy substitute for shots of espresso; I must recommend taking wet wipes to maintain that sticky fresh sensation. Hawk Run is a few hundred yards to the east down the wildflower trail. It is silt bottom and clean enough for back country water filtering.
Very nice and peaceful. Not much down wood to burn at campsites. A plus is I get my phone service. AT&T.We will be back. Plus 21days free.
I camped in this place for two seasons (2015 and 2016). I was really excited about it at first. It was secluded and on the primitive side, which I guess keeps it for the right crowd. But you do hear generators sometimes in the distance, and the spot appears to often be under a sky highway of low-flying planes. Two incidents turned me off: the mosquitoes and the stink bugs. If mosquitoes love you, go in spring and fall, but not summer. Also avoid stink bugs late fall because they come out IN DROVES! They will enter in every thing they find, including your hair and shirt and tent and bags, and between the car window cracks. They will winter in your car and fly into your face while driving next spring as they come out!!! These insects came over from Asia and they are now taking over large parts of the country. They don't bite, and the "stink" in the name is mild, but they are annoying enough to destroy every minute of your time, and land onto your eyes, tea, and mouth. They do so because they are trying to find a place to spend the winter. Also the water pump takes a lot of pumping to get you water, so take your water with you. On the bright side, I loved the mostly quiet setting and the breeze, and the lulling Hawk Creek when it is running strong. I was also able to have a strong signal with AT&T.
The perfect getaway from the rat race. 3 miles in to the national Forest. Thank God for national Forest. It's about the only places left to get away. I have not experienced any loud activities and usually only 1or 2 other folks camping. It may just be the time of but have been 4 times this far. Is it Friday yet?
The drive up is beautiful, feels like you are headed further and further away from civilization and into peace and tranquility until the moment you arrive at the camp ground. Multiple people running generators day and night and the tent sites are about 15 feet from one another. 100% will never go back. Check out Wolf Gap just a bit south of Hawks campground; less tent sites but more seclusion and very close to some great hikes.
