Great location for several hiking options. The campgrounds are nice and affordable. There's group, horse and family areas apart from each other. Because of the easy access point it is busy. But once you get in a few miles on the trail traffic tapers off. The Big Creek Trail has several access points for solitude and a quiet secluded creekside day. Expect lots of horse manure on BCT but the Benton and AT have amnesty in this regard.
