The plan is to camp near the woods close to the fire ring. There is a creek crossing on the property that might be a bit much for low clearance vehicles, but it is an easy stroll across the field to the tree line. There is a water spigot located on the property.
A few additional comments from our host:
High clearance vehicles recommended to cross creek.
Hammock recommend for forest camping.
Please park in the field or off to the side of the road in the woods. DO NOT park directly in the road, it’s a loop.
No trailers in the woods, feel free to drop them in the field.
Grill and potable water available for use.
Please pick up all trash and use the ports potty’s.
Valid Ga hunting or fishing license required to access all caves on pigeon mtn.
Snakes and bears
Please follow flagging tape to the WMA boundary and stay on WMA if going to ASC. DO NOT trespass on the adjacent property to the south.
This is a primitive camping site. Use toilet paper sparingly and pack it out!
There are numerous caves in the immediate area, but none on the property. Many of these caves are located on DNR property and require a license (hunting, fishing, …) to access. More information on licensing can be found here.
Please contact any member of the Board of Directors or call the Caving Hotline if you have any questions. See you there!
