Backcountry Campsite #86

Beautiful area... However, if you are going to go through the trouble of hauling stuff into the area, haul it back out. Used propane canisters, rotting food, trash, shoes and more litter the area. It’s disgusting to see such beauty pot marked by lazy and inconsiderate nitwits.

I grew up backpacking here with my late baby brother and father. I fell in love with the outdoors on the banks of Hazel creek and the Porch of the Proctor House. I've been gone for 5 years and the creek is calling....I just might go. This place is one of a kind and if you're lucky enough to experience the magic yourself, you'll see what I'm talking about.

Awesome place to camp and fish. It's easier to get to this camp site by boat but you can walk or ride horses

It was awesome. If your gonna fish anywhere in the smoky mountains do it at hazel creek!!!

The town of Proctor, NC. Great camping spot. We came in on canoes from fontana dam.
