Cooper Creek Recreation Area is located along the banks of Cooper Creek in the North Georgia mountains. Campers can experience all types of recreation activites, including camping, hiking, trout fishing, and hunting. Anglers may fish Cooper Creek and nearby Mulky Creek, both of which are trout streams for wild and stocked trout. Photos of campground... Find out more about the Cooper Creek Watershed Project.

Cooper Creek

This campground was great! It was very clean and well maintained. Although the dirt road that led to the campground was a bit sketchy if you're not use to mountain driving, it is very well maintained as well. The fishing was great too. This was my first time trout fishing in North Georgia but I was able to catch plenty of trout. I highly recommend this campground for those looking for some seclusion.

I just love this area. The camping spots are spacious and everyone has easy access to the creeks. Lots of trails/hiking to do not only in the campground area but all around (such as Toccoa River, Appalachian Trail and several waterfalls) The waters have both wild and stocked trout so fishing here is always fun. I highly recommend this campground.

Love this place. So many amazing trails to hike. Great for fishing! There are limited stores around so make sure you come prepared before you settle in.

Coopers Creek

With a campsite right on the creek you can’t really go wrong  the camp hosts were as sweet as can be  

Camping on the Creek

We drove out from Atlanta and used campsite 12 (I think) which was pretty small but worked for us. If campsite 11 hadn't been so noisey this would have been a perfect retreat. For the record they do have a decent distance between them but the young adults there showed up late and stayed up late. 

Well taken care of

This is a lovely campground in the woods. The road to get there is very curvy and gravel so a large trailer should probably steer clear. This place is tucked into the mountains of Georgia we would highly recommend if it wasn’t SO DANG NOISY. Seriously was awakened at least 3 times a night (Every night) with people being loud playing music, walking the road Talking loud or just driving by super fast. The sites are fairly spaced out, except the 4 water front sites they are pretty close together. We stayed at site 3 and it was a great site except it was right by main road. There was a small stream that ran through it and my kids LOVED it. Lots of creatures to find and explore. The hike Trail by the campsites was nice. We had a good stay minus all the noise but honestly won’t be back because of the Noise.  

Lovely but NOISEY 

Great place to take the kids. It’s was secluded which meant no cell service. Something to call out for an emergency would be great. I will continue to visit!

Wonderful

Great campsites. Serene.  Beautiful.  Great fishing. 
Peaceful. Totally off the grid.  

No cell service
No showers 
No flush toilets
Bathrooms would have been better if there was some sort of ventilation and air freshener
Gravel road pretty bumpy if you don’t have an SUV or truck 

Cooper Creek Campground

Great fishing. Nuff said. Outhouse toilets, manual water pumps, if you like it fancy then go somewhere else. Did I mention the fishing was great. All said aside, we had a great time. It’s close to other good fishing and the campsites were spaced out nicely. Stay with 14, 15, 16, they are the best ones. We stayed at 18. And it was good as well.  

Not for Glampers 

Quiet and protected area beside Cooper creek. Easy to get in and out been with a small overland trailer.
