I was looking. Don't know how I missed that. Haha. Thanks I will. Not a canoe guy but I do like hiking.

Is this for real or is it a good April Fools prank?

I did not see that post no. And no I wanted to do some car camping. I've been working hard and haven't been able to get out on my new hammock. Was just seeing if I could get some friends together for a hang.

Should be some tent campers with us

Lower Forge is either hike or drive in, almost.
If you drive back, it's a 10-15 min walk in at most.

Should you want true car camping where your vehicle is just a few feet away, then Batona is the way to go.

The Apr 1 Lower Forge trip isn't looking good for the paddle in option, likely hike or drive in at this point.

My friends and I got sites 3 and 4 at Camp Batona. We decided as a group against Lower Forge for our trip. I'll have to come hang with you guys next time. Sorry. But anyone interested in joining us we will have a fire and will be hiking to Apple Pie Hill on Saturday.
