Sumatra Campground

Sumatra Camp is a primitive campsite in Tate's Hell State Forest along the New River, offering tent and RV camping with direct paddling and fishing access.

Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring, and grill, but has no water, electricity, or restrooms—making it ideal for self-sufficient outdoor enthusiasts.

Access is via dirt forest roads (subject to weather conditions) approximately 10 miles east of Sumatra, with reservations available up to 11 months in advance.
