Alum Ford Campground

When inquiring with the park service about Alum Ford, the voice on the other line stated, “You might not like it. That place is primitive.” She didn’t know she was talking to a tent camper who likes their campgrounds that way! Upon my arrival in person, Alum Fork did not disappoint —it is primitive indeed. Located near a boat landing on the Big South Fork, the campground is strung along a dead-end gravel road on the edge of the river gorge. What makes it even better is all the recreational opportunities nearby—like hiking, boating, fishing, and swimming.
