Kentucky Meets Georgia at South Cumberland

Troy from Loganville, GA is working on plans to meet a friend from Kentucky and day hike for 4-5 days looking for or creating "geocaches." Questions are: is there someplace to camp so that they don't really have to backpack in their gear, and, what does it cost?

Last question is easy - the Park is free to the public, there are no camping or hiking fees. If this makes you feel guilty, you can always make a generous donation to the Friends of South Cumberland. Every nickle we raise goes to help the Park.

First question, there are primitive campsites within a very short walk of both the Stone Door Ranger Station and the Savage Gulf Ranger Station. These are normally intended for late arrivals but no reason you cannot camp there multiple days if you wish. Personally, I would choose Savage because you have more day hike options from there. Or, you could spend a couple of days at each spot.

Cheers,
