Collins Creek Seasonal Camp opens 3/27/24 at 8 am.
The Enoree Ranger District offers three seasonal campgrounds. These campgrounds have designated campsites in open areas surrounded by woods. The surrounding forest environment provides an opportunity for many recreational activities such as wildlife and plant observation, fishing, hiking, and photography. Abundant wildlife populations provide some of the most desirable hunting areas in the upstate.

- $5 per night
- $50 per calendar month
