Hopkins Prairie is accessible from two locations. The entrance using FR 33 is Very Narrow and will probably scratch your vehicle if you are larger than a Jeep. In fact, there are a couple of areas on the road where two large trees may cause You to back out or turn around. The second entrance, using FR 50 is slightly less narrow. Most any Four Wheel Drive Vehicle Should be able to navigate FR50 with few challenges. When you have made it to the open prairie You will be So Excited. It is a Beautiful location. You can bring a picnic and insect repellent and Enjoy a Peaceful Day. You are allowed to disburse overnight camp. There is no fee for the open area. They do offer an overnight Campground area close by for a nominal fee. Be Aware of the Fire Risk Level for your visit and follow the Forest Recommendation.🔥 Thank You for taking Your Time to Read my Review 😊 Have a Great Day!🌞

Great spot. Not crowded when we went. Beautiful sunset and plenty of peace and quiet. We only heard people on other sites 2 times. Saw wild turkeys and deer driving in/out. Surprisingly, no critters tried to scavenge at our site during the night. Camp host was nice and reasonable. Ticks were really bad. My husband, dog, and I had around 20 ticks total and we were there for 1 night.

I love it there! You’ll hate it! Don’t go! 1 voluted toilet, hand pump water and No electricity. Really Dark at night and quiet! There is a possibility of bears 🐻 and other wildlife.
