We camp there from October to the middle of January we hunt the roads really need to be better but I love it there. They do need to keep the young kids out of there partying on the weekends at the other times of the year .
This is a "hunt camp" available only during the General Gun season on the Richloam Wildlife Management Area (WMA). It is not "open " to the general public for overnight camping because the sites are reserved and rented by the hunters.
