The land manager lists this site. Someone from the agency inventoried it, so it is a real camp — not a spot we guessed at. What changes is conditions — roads, gates, closures, fire rules. Check those with the unit before you commit to the drive.

SCDNR's own note on this point says camping is allowed ONLY at the designated site near the kiosk -- do not spread out. Hunting seasons run on this WMA. No water is claimed.
