Knoxville Recreation Area, Rocksville, Hunting Creek Camp, Jericho Creek, Morgan Valley Road, Devilhead Road |
| DESCRIPTION |
There are two entrances to this area, the lower camp and the upper camp. The upper camp is dry and rocky, and has a very rough access road with no signs or directions (bear right at the fork!) There are only two campsites here, both primitive. If you have an RV or trailer, it is recommended that you do not use this entrance. While the upper camp has more trails, the lower camp offers much better access for RVs and trailers, and developed campsites with tables, fire rings and direct access to the creek. Look for an opening in at the back of the campground to find a motorcycle trail that follows the creek and leads to two great swimming holes (first hole is 1/4 mile in, waterfall is 1/4 mile past that). You can ride from the lower camp to the upper camp by following the lower camp access road right through the campground, across the curved bridge and up over the ridge (make no turns). Follow the road about 7 miles to the upper camp area. Detailed Trail Map.
