Would hammock camping be possible here? Looks from the pictures like most trees are covered in bush, etc.

We camped here one night in the middle of July. We were the only ones there all day/night. It is a clearing larger than a football field. The grass had recently been cut, but it had been very high. This made the ground difficult to walk on. No cell service. Here is a video to check out the drive in. https://youtu.be/4hqZ9C_Y7b8

The Beaver Creek Wilderness area is a great place to camp for free while checking out Daniel Boone National Forest!
It’s close to the Bowman Ridge Trail (https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/dbnf/recreation/recarea/?recid=39824), and has lots of space for dry camping in an open field. There is lots of wildlife (mostly birds), and it’s beautiful, quiet, and clean.
You enter off of Swain Ridge Rd and there’s a small grassy off-road entry to the clearing.
No facilities, but it’s only 20-25 minutes from towns with gas stations and grocery stores for extended stays.
The ranger came by in the morning after our first night to say hello, but no problems with us staying here.
It rained quite a bit but the ground was solid in most places.
