City advice
Don't miss
Grants Creek Camp can be a base camp or your destination
As a base you have access to the surrounding area but if you are an outdoor type and like privacy and peace and quiet you should consider all the camp has to offer without ever getting back into your car.
The upper White Oak River where the camp is located is the western boundary of the Coatan National Forest. Miles of pristine river with no structures make for perfect kayaking, fishing or sightseeing. A boat trip down river to is available for beach trips, fishing trips or just for lunch at a waterside eatery
