Creek sounds and cold mountain water define the experience at this hike-in dispersed site along the Appalachian Trail. Located within the Chattahoochee National Forest, Justus Creek Campsite requires backpackers to carry in all gear and supplies, with no facilities or services provided.
The creek runs year-round and stays cold even in summer months, offering a reliable water source for filtering and a place to rinse gear or cool off after hiking. Black bears frequent the area, making proper food storage essential - campers need to hang bear bags well away from sleeping areas and across the creek. The site works best for experienced backpackers comfortable with Leave No Trace principles and bear safety protocols in places to camp near Chattahoochee National Forest.
