CALCASIEU RANGER DISTRICT

Long Branch Camp is another great solitary wild camp for a quick overnighter or weekend getaway. Due to its proximity to WAT access  (960 yards), it can be used as a base camp for hiking the WAT. Parking is off FS RD 277. The access point is located directly behind the parking point. 

Wild camp is just down a ridge leading to an open hardwood bottom. Terrain navigation is generally flat on a small finger ridge of mixed pine/hardwoods. Long Branch Camp has a difficulty rating of "Easy." 

The campsite can accommodate 5-10 shelters and many hammocks. The hike-in from the access point to the wild campsite center is 650 yards. The water source is Long Branch, which was nearly non-existent and stagnant - bring your own water. Waypoint coordinates and location bearings are included in the Wild Camp Report.
