Great camping as of September 2025

Very nice area to camp saw multiple sites throughout the road. Weather got a little cooler at night but the stars were a beauty to see. managed to fit 3 tents and 2 hammocks at the campsite near 34°50'26.3"N 83°40'44.6"W Wood was a little wet as it had rained 2 days prior so might be worth bringing your own.

Also worth it if you're into astrophotography as all of tray mountain sits within the few dark areas within north Georgia.

Did not see any signs of large predators but did see lots of spent 12GA shells and other casings.

Best off grid camping

This is by far my favorite place we’ve been off grid camping. It’s more Jeep friendly than full size vehicles, to get a spot down by the creek. But it is possible to get a full size 4*4 truck down the switch back.

Backcountry Primitive Camping

Hike in style camp with the convenience of having your vehicle. A 4wd with moderate clearance is helpful. Wonderful stream running through the campsite.
