About

This small primitive campground and historic picnic area are located on top of Iron Mountain at 3800 feet. The log picnic shelter with large stone fireplace was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Within walking distance of the campground are long distance hikes in Little Dry Run Wilderness, 360 degree views from Comers Rock Overlook and former fire tower, and the Unaka Nature Trail. Less than two miles away is Hale Lake for fishing, hiking, and canoeing.
