Wildcat Tract Camping (Dawson Forest)
Feb 22nd, 2010 by Admin 1
It was nice to have a dry weekend, huh? The weather was perfect and we wanted to get out in it so we drove up to the Wildcat Tract area. I’ve wanted to check out the campground to see if it was a place we’d like to stay at for a few days.
The campground is just okay but the cool thing about it is that its free and the area gives you direct access to all the trails and waterfalls nearby. At one end of the campground you have the trailhead for the Wildcat Creek Trail which connects to the Fall Creek Trail and on the other end of the campground a footbridge crosses the creek to access the Turner Trail. We are thinking of heading up to camp up here sometime in the next few weeks. We will let you know how it goes.
Directions:
From 575 go South on 53 approx. 1.8 miles, take a left on Burnt Mtn. Rd (which turns into 136). Right on Steve Tate Rd. Right on Wildcat Campground ( DIRT ROAD )
GPS data: N34° 29.72′ W84° 16.85′
Looks like a nice spot for some camping and hiking!
Steve,
Yeah, and its not far to drive either.
Yeah! looks great! let’s go!
Cool,
I’ll get in touch sometime this week and we’ll line it up.
Later
Sounds like a great spot. I imagine the waterfalls and trails were beautiful also.
