Pay attention to local forestry signage about area dispersed camping use. Stuart Recreation area along the route provides camping, swimming, and other activities. Bear Heaven Campground offers primitive fee camping. The route also gains elevation at points and passes by the Bickle Knob fire tower with 360-degree views of the area.
