How are the camp grounds?
Are 4 wheelers allowed?

I've hunted/camped there several times. The campground we used was simple, just a field. I'm not sure if there is another campground but I believe they're all primitive.
ATV's aren't helpful because the trails were marked "Foot travel only."
Its a great place to hunt, very pretty area but the last few years deer sightings have been low for our group.
The TWRA officers in the area are very knowledgable, friendly and helpful

yeah I heard EHD hit the area. I assume in 2007. You would hope that the deer would/should be rebounding by now.

There were 2 campgrounds. 1 by the lake and 1 at the check in station. I did not get to hunt there last year. I pretty sure it was posted on here that the camp ground by the lake closed.The one at the Check in station is primitive.They do have outhouses.4 wheelers are not allowed off road. I do see alot of guys cruseing the roads with them.
I always stay at the Natchez Trace Preserve. They open the cabins up to non menbers during hunting season. Nice clean basic cabins with running water. Bring your own linens for a better rate.The cabins are right on a lake.I usally bring a fishing pole.

On the WMA map on the TWRA website it shows three campsites within the WMA. One is on VFW Rd, VFW lake which is inside the WMA boundaries according to the map.

WestTN I looked at it and the one by VFW lake is the one by the game checking station. there is one listed by the county check station which is by the main lake, that one must be the one that closed. I am most likely just gonna camp, but you never know.
what condition are the roads in. Do you need 4 wheel dr or will 2 wheel get it.

A 2WD will do fine on all the roads we traveled.
Good luck!

I think it was some type of an attempt at management. I did notice the 15" outside spread, which is not to horribly hard to do on a decent buck, notice i didn't say "good buck" but it does stop the basket rack 4, 6, and 8's from getting shot.

I wasn't able to count "9 points or more" in 2007 and let a great buck walk off @ LH. I counted 5 on one side, never could see the other side. He was a dandy, never will foret that!
