One caution: Unlike the Smokies, as stated above, this area is an eroded plateau. There are many neat geological features, caves/overhangs, natural bridges/arches, cliffs/dropoffs, etc. The danger spots don't have caution tape and guard rails. Please please please don't be wandering around in the dark!
A nice thing about not being in the Smokies is that you can camp pretty much anywhere you want to, with of course the exceptions of historic sites, caves, etc.
If you don't have time for the full Honey Creek Loop, the western half of it has most of the interesting stuff. If we only have one car, we park at the overlook, go down the ladders, and do the loop CCW. When we get to the road crossing, we follow it back to the car. If we have two cars, we park one at each place.
