Park at Yates Place Camp and backpack in to our campsite.
It is short miles, about an hour and a half hike.
We will be camped by a creek with plenty of water.
Bring all your own food. If you want a campfire, you can gather firewood at camp. But it’s slim pickings, until you get 50 to 100 yards from camp. Please observe all forestry rules on firewood.
We have camped here before.
From Yates, gravel road in camp, go past metal gate, go 50 yards, take spur trail to the end (about five minutes) Take a left onto Uwharrie Trail going south
Follow Uwharrie Trail south about 30 minutes.
Turn right at Dutchman’s Creek Trail
Follow Dutchman’s Creek Trail about 45 minutes.
You will step across in a step or two some smaller streams.
Our campsite is where Dutchman’s Creek Trail and Dutchman’s Creek cross each other three times in rapid succession.
It is possible to skip crossing Dutchman’s Creek, if you stay on same side of Dutchman’s Creek along the bank. Hiking poles might help keep you from falling in Dutchman’s Creek.
Beech Camp is 100 yards along the creek at the second or middle creek crossing.
Also there is another description of directions in post #9
I call it Beech Camp (not named anything on maps) because campsite has so many beech trees—great for hanging. Beech trees are the kind some people carve their names in the bark. I don’t recommend any name carving on trees.
This is low key, laid back camping.
If you are late to the party, Saturday? Might be good to call or text us or send private message to confirm our location.
