Is this more like a forest service ride?
Are we camping at the cave or whatever, or is it ride in/ride out one day?
and if it comes a hard rain you might need a boat.Are we camping at the cave or whatever, or is it ride in/ride out one day?
Day ride. Could primitive camp if you wanted to, but I wouldn't camp in the cove. There are some strange creatures moving around out there....
@lt99ls1 Larry can tell us a lot more. I've been 2x and both were with mild groups and no guide.Lots of stuff in the cove to do, I still get turn around and lost in there.
Absolute blast. TONS of rocks and lots of water crossing.
I have arranged for the group to have a guide for the day for a donation. Having a guide that has lived there all of his life is priceless.
I can't be there but sure wish I could. It is the coolest place with the rivers, mountains, and caves.
This might be the same fella you mentioned. He lives on Coppinger Cove Road and has trailer parking and primitive camping on his property for donation.
He says "yall can camp here if you want or at the trials training center i got a fire pit and smokers yall can camp here for donations i think the ttc charges $15 per tent but they have bathhouses you gotta piss in the grass here"

Can you PM me his contact details so I can connect ahead of time for trailer parking? I will be doing a day trip but want to know for sure that I have a place to park. Thanks for arranging it.

Danny are you talking about camping Friday night or Saturday night?I probably won't be camping at this point. We have been a little shorthanded at the shop and super busy. @Jeeptrk
I know the answer is probably no, but is this a trail that a full side long bed truck on 33" MT's, no lockers or a stock XJ, no lift on 235/75 AT's no lockers could do?The road in and out yes but the river crossings and rock crawling up the creek beds no.
Plan on lift and tires for XJ by Gatrfest
Thanks
Which I'm assuming is where the fun is?
@jd30005 @jgerhardHas anyone had any luck contacting Tom through Facebook? I have tried with no success. I just want to confirm that there will be a place to park the truck/trailer and I'm happy to make any type of "donation" needed. Appreciate any feedback.
He is a backwoods fella, and he doesn't have a phone, He has internet and prefers to be contacted thru Facebook, so reach out to him... check my friends or search for him:

Don't forget he will take donations for the camping and guiding that go to the Coppinger Fund... I have no idea what that is or what it does... //;D//
You don't have to cross the rivers to do a lot of the area, but you may have to drive around. You will be in good hands with your guide and he will lead the way on 30's so don't be skeered. //popcorn//
There is room to park 20+ trucks and trailers, no worries.Thanks Doug
Just chatted with him. Says water is very high this week. Hopefully it will be down by next weekend.
Would love to go on this ride, but I'm a little confused. One post says scenic ride for all skill levels....one says easy to medium trails....and another says serious challenges. How difficult? I have a JK Sport (open diff), 2.5" lift, 35" Tires.
I did it with my JKU, open, 2.5" lift and 35s.
