Backpacking on Birkhead Trail

Taking hubby on his first backpacking trip in a couple weekends for 2 nights. We’re looking at the Birkhead Wilderness Area, specifically Tot Hill Farm access, possibly the Camp 3 loop. It sounds like there are ample campsites to choose from along the way.

Im wondering if anyone has been through the area lately, and can speak to the water access? Have the creeks recovered from the dry summer, or should we plan to pack in water? Any favorite campsites we should keep on our radar? We generally like a bit of privacy and don’t mind hiking a bit to get off the beaten path (and away from people)

Truck camping near Linville

Hubby and I have been truck camping near Linville for a few years now and would love to find some new spots in that area. We have the most luck on Steels Creek off of 181. Haven’t managed to find a spot we love near Wilson or Harper Creek yet despite a few tries and many recommendations.

Priorities are- privacy, limited drive-by traffic, proximity to water source (bonus points if it’s stocked for fishing), accessible by 4wd, anywhere in Linville area of Pisgah.

Headed out next weekend and would love to find a new spot!
