It says they are open to primitive camping now.

Pinhoti Section 12 ~ trail mile 152.8.

If you're going north on Section 12, once you come down off Oakey Mountain and reach the Chief Ladiga Rail Trail, the Pinhoti turns right on the CLT.

To go to the new campground, turn left on the CLT and go about 100 yards. The entrance is on the right.

Charley Fagan, former Piedmont Mayor, has been working on this for quite a while and it should be open soon (weeks, months ?). LOTS of campsites on Terrapin Creek and a new building under construction (office, store, bathhouse ?). Check back for updates.

     The Chief Ladiga Rail Trail has needed something like this for a long time.  My son's scout troop has wanted to make the CLRT at least an overnighter, but there hasn't been a good place on the trail.  This should be great.
     It could also be a great place for Pinhoti resupply or shuttling to Piedmont.  Walking in 7.5 miles to Piedmont in March 2009 was a loooooonnnnng way.  I was very glad the LaMont Motel clerk agreed to shuttle me about 5 miles back. 
     Do we know what campsites (individual and/or group), prices, group rates, etc... would be available?
