Can anyone tell me about this campsite? It's just north of Wayah Shelter...about 1.3 miles. I was also wondering how reliable the Spring is.

Thanks

i camped there in may. it's a very nice spot, plenty of room for several tents and/or hammocks, a well-established fire ring, and sunrise views. coyotes were close to our camp that night, and gave one heck of a concert. if there was a spring there, we didn't see it. we watered up a mile or so beforehand. that was one of my favorite camping spots on that stretch of trail.

I passed through this weekend and Licklog looked dry. The
Wayah shelter had slow flowing water. The stream just south
of Burningtown Gap was flowing well.

Thanks for the info! Hopefully this spell of wet weather will help the springs. I know my part of VA is getting swamped.

Sounds like a good place to spend the night as long as I bring in plenty of water. Thanks!
