We stayed here two nights on our way out and back from Atlanta. There are two sites, one apparently permanently occupied by a tent (never saw anyone, but I am told it has been a fixture for perhaps 18 months). Still lots of room, and we shared with two other groups our first night.

This site is DRY. There is no water available nearby. The creeks and ponds which show on maps are intermittent at best. As a 25 year veteran backpacker, bring water! If needed, there is a convenience store a short distance away on US-278, but you're taking your life into your hands with the traffic.

There was a porta-pottie available at the trailhead a few hundred yards away. There is no water at the trailhead.

The site is convenient, but not remote. Walkers and bikers pass frequently (even on weeknights). It is about 30 yards of the trail, so many don't even notice you. The noise of traffic is quite loud until the early hours of the morning.

We had no issues with wildlife, though we hung our food. There is a trash can nearby which went unmolested.
