Primitive camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
300 acres of family land since 2000. This area was called Boot's Bottoms growing up and the name stuck. There is a rock wall close to the campsite that was a old grist mill site. Plenty of wildlife, bird watching, wildflowers and creek walking. Some old atv trails for hiking as well. Very remote and quite! Learn more about this land: Setup camp on the banks of Dorsey creek in Bug Tussle. Wooded area with shade in the warm season. Flat ground for tents or plenty of trees for hammocks. Easy access for vehicles directly to the campsite. Fire ring with grill grates present for cowboy cooking. Peaceful with plenty of opportunity to see wildlife. Primitive toilet present. Rock dam in creek is great to entertain kids, old grist mill site couple hundred yards downstream. Logging and ATV present for hiking and wildlife viewing. Deeper sections in creek present for swimming and cooling off in warmer months. Please Read! Setup camp on the banks of Dorsey creek in Bug Tussle. Wooded area with shade in the warm season.

This is the only site on the property deep in our own property with one way in and out, so you will not be bothered by anyone or see anyone, unless it's me or my father. FWD is recommended if conditions are wet, otherwise 2WD is fine. There is no mud, but the hills and grass can cause traction issues with street tires. (I've had several vans stay without issues, just be aware the road is not paved). Box with several outdoor reading material and I.D. pamphlets present at site, also 2 hammocks will be available at site for use. Please ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer any concerns. I will be posting a walk through on Tiktok for the campsite and road access if you want to see the property bugtusslemiltiaoutdoors is the page.

The campsite was perfect. We enjoyed walking in the creek to cool off. The privacy was great. I will say the ticks were plentiful. Bug tussle creek campsite was amazing. We had the pleasure of meeting Matthew when he came to save us ( got stuck in the slick clay) not once but twice. Prior to our getaway, he was very quick to respond and easy to communicate with. But actually meeting him is why I love going to Alabama. He’s a true southern gentleman. Most likely the politest man one can meet. Thank you Matthew for allowing us to enjoy a little piece of heaven. Thank you for saving us. We look forward to enjoying your property again.

Just what I needed
This easy-to-find, secluded spot is the perfect setting for an enchanting getaway. You’ll find enough room by the beautiful creek to set up any camp size. Cell service wasn’t an issue (AT&T), though we barely used it; there’s enough here to keep you entertained. Make sure you you do some stargazing in the field just above the camp. It’s amazing! Also, if you have an FM radio and position it well, you’ll pick up two of the best classic country music stations I’ve ever heard: 88.5 and 105.7.

Loved it! Perfect quiet secluded primitive site by a cool flowing creek. Bugs were minimum. AT&T had service but T Mobile did not. Contactless checking with easy communication with host if needed. Shaded clearing protects your camp from heat but there are plenty of clearings to get sun and charge solar. We never wanted to leave.

Top notch campspot
This spot was perfect for my family, dogs and 16 ft camper. We dry camped in the camper and had no issues. There was plenty of room to turn around and plenty of room at the campsite for the kids to ride their bikes. We went up and down the creek and walked up the big field and looked at the stars. We have camped all over the country and this was by far the cleanest campspot weve ever stayed at. We saw bugs with 4 wings that looked like faries and did alot of cooking. AWESOME PLACE and cant wait to go back. 4wheel drive is needed to pull a camper back up the road in the gravel which was no issues since thats how we roll... thanks again
