It's all reserved, as expected, but I'll search around when I get there, anyway. I've not camped on the BLM stuff yet. Any tips on that? Better/worse options? I'm in my Honda, my climbing partner will be tenting.
Thanks! Helen
EDIT to add: didn't there used to be a link on the COR page with info/maps for the BLM camping?

Camping is good. Camped there and we moved around without reservations in order to be closer to the crag we wanted to climb. No issues at all.

The BLM land is okay, the road gets pretty rough the further you go. Adds a good 15-20 minutes to get climbing versus the luxuriously close proximity of camping within.

I'm really hoping to get the regular camping, but we are going anyway. It's soooo nice to have the time to shoot over there every couple weeks! After this last, big weekend, it will get easy again. September will be fun, and I'm close enough to go anytime it looks like the weather window is good farther into fall, too. Unemployment (and money in the bank) is awesome!
Best, Helen

There's overflow camping at the Upper Breadloaves. The camps are lettered rather than numbered. We camped in campsite "F". The running joke was, "We got F'd". They're kinda crappy, but at least they're close. Good luck, Helen!

What are the rules/regs for "overflow' camping at Breadloaves? Isn't that group camping? 12 person minimum? When is it available - only when the group sites are empty or are there separate overflow sites? Only when all other sites in the park are taken? Is this area/overflow what the $3.18 per camper is referring to on the COR website? One night at a time?

I always camp in the National Forest on the mountain. I believe it is worth the extra drive. I don't mind the cows, the hunters during the season and the occasional jeeper. A bit cooler now that it is hot.

Pretty sure the 3 bucks was for an extra vehicle in a campsite, but they weren't charging for that when I asked. The letters are the walk-in sites, and half of them aren't open to campers anymore. Nonreservable. I've seen the one at Breadloaves. It is a fire ring and table, in the dried out dirt on the edge of a huge gravel parking lot, lol!
Yes, breadloaves is group camping. No telling what will be camped there, even if having your tent pitched at Walmart doesn't bother you, the group camps aren't "overflow" for others, just parking for day use, but primarily for whatever party is, well, partying, there for camping. Might not even be real climbers, lol!
If it isn't reserved, maybe?? But it is. As is all the rest of it, including the stuff at Castle and Smoky mountain.
Not worried, I've slept out on FS and BLM before, way, way, out in the hinterlands! COR cows are way less ugly/odd than the semi feral ones that only get rounded up a few times per year out in the desert!
Best, Helen
