Campgrounds surrounding Blue Ridge, Georgia range from developed recreation areas to more primitive sites within the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest. Morganton Point Campground, located on Lake Blue Ridge, provides water and electric hookups for RVs along with tent-only areas. Several state parks including Vogel State Park and Amicalola Falls State Park offer cabin accommodations alongside traditional camping options. The region's mixed-use campgrounds typically accommodate both tent and RV campers, with select locations like Toccoa River Sandy Bottoms Recreation Area providing direct water access for recreation.
Road access varies by location, with some campgrounds requiring navigation of steep driveways or narrow forest roads. Most developed sites remain open year-round, though services may be limited during winter months when temperatures drop significantly. Water levels at Lake Blue Ridge fluctuate seasonally, affecting shoreline access at waterfront campsites. Reservations are strongly recommended during peak season from April through October, particularly for weekend stays. Several campgrounds offer both walk-in and drive-in access options with varying levels of convenience to facilities. A camper noted, "Some sites have a pretty steep back in but had a level pad. Not sure how a larger camper would have leveled."
Lake and river access significantly influence campsite popularity throughout the area. The tent-only sites at Morganton Point are situated on their own peninsula, providing a more secluded camping experience compared to the main campground areas. Campers frequently mention the clean facilities and well-maintained grounds, with one visitor describing Morganton Point's restrooms as "immaculate and heated, plenty of hot water." Waterfront sites typically fill first, especially those with direct lake access where campers can tie up boats directly at their campsite. More secluded options exist at locations like Your Toccoa River Cove, which offers private camping on acreage with spring water and creek access. The regional camping landscape includes a mix of Forest Service, state park, and private facilities, each with distinct amenity levels ranging from primitive outhouses to modern shower buildings.

GuideThe campsites are great - most appear to be very level and in good shape. Our site is noisy at times, as it backs up to a primary road in the park and there is a good bit of vehicle and foot traffic. There is zero reception for T-Mobile users at this campsite.
ScoutTate Branch is gorgeous and has several riverside sites. Sites 5 and 7 are the best (IMO) and the whole campground is super shaded. Most of the fire pits have grates.
There are three pit toilets and a water pump. The forest service road to get to the campground is not bad and is super enjoyable as it runs along the river. We took our jeep AND our minivan and had zero issues. I also saw a UPS truck. Lots of people fishing and enjoying views along the road.
TravelerWe had an awesome stay! Our family used a mix of a cabin and a tent, which worked out perfectly—it gave us a great option to get some AC while still letting the kids get the real tent-camping experience. We absolutely loved the French toast, and the bathroom and shower facilities were convenient. We really enjoyed our time and all the amenities. Thanks for a great stay!
LegendReally nice newer RV park located in the mountains. They originally were a motorhome only resort, but since opened it up to towable units (still no tents). Many sites have great mountain views and the website has pictures of each site so you can decide what you want and how much you want to pay. They accept Passport America and give a 50% discount for up to a two-week stay which is why we stayed for two weeks. That discount made it a great place for a full hook-up RV resort with nice amenities. We loved the campground and the owners are super nice and helpful. Upon check-in, you get a nice welcome packet full of information about the local area and a loaf of homemade sourdough bread (which was delicious!!!!). Sites are basically a double site so where you park your camper and patio are both paved. They have “Solo” type firepits so you can move them wherever you want and not destroy the grass or pavement. Our site had two comfortable patio chairs and a picnic table. Everything is paved so no dusty roads or dirty sites. They allow you to wash your RV and car which was a big plus for us since they both needed it. The utilities worked well. There is a really nice swimming pool with lounge chairs and tables. The clubhouse is large and a great gathering place that offers free Nespresso coffee, snacks, and information. There are a couple of hiking trails on the property and they offer guided walks with staff. The nearby town of Talking Rock is really cute with restaurants, a brewery, shops, and a general store that sells a variety of items including firewood and pantry staples. We would definitely stay here again.
ScoutThis was a nice campground. We were in spot 30 which was not a great spot as it was right next to the road and your awning/outdoor area faces the road. We were late to book and that was the last site available so we weren't surprised. There is a picnic table below that is more private and faces the lake, but we did not have the set up to be down there. The sites are spacious and give ample room between sites. The lake and lake access are great and there is a very nice walk/biking path that is 3.1 miles out and back that is very accessible throughout the campground. My biggest complaint is the bathroom. There is only one bathroom for the entire campground. The women's bathroom had 1 shower and 2 toilets. The toilets had issues with flushing. They were clean, but could use some maintenance. It was also a pretty busy campground. Lots of coming and going and lots of noise coming off the lake.
LegendWe followed the confirmation email directions, which took us right to the campground. Check-in was quick, efficient, and exceptionally friendly. We were escorted to back-in Site 55, which was an easy back-in and one of the more spacious sites in the campground. We were glad we chose this site over one of the pull-throughs, which appeared much closer together. The long gravel pad easily accommodated our 40-foot fifth wheel and F-450, with well-positioned utilities. Since we were only overnighting, we did not disconnect. We received two bars on both Verizon and T-Mobile. The campground Wi-Fi was adequate for checking email and general browsing but not streaming. There are plenty of mature trees throughout the campground, so Starlink availability will vary by site. We chose not to deploy ours but believe Site 55 would have provided a usable view of the sky. The campground also features a fenced dog park that is large enough to actually throw a ball and let your dog run. Overall, this is a clean, well-maintained KOA with friendly staff, spacious back-in sites, and a convenient location, and it will definitely remain on our list of campgrounds for future visits to the Chattanooga area.
ScoutSites nice. I was on B loop. Bathrooms dirty. Water would not turn off. A shower not working.
ScoutJacqueline super sweet and helpful as was her husband when the electric pedestal went out. Unfortunately couldn’t fix at the time but we had our generator.
ScoutThis is the park that is a base for taking the rap trips. There is also the bus bar and Grill here that has different entertainment on the weekend so when you’re camping here you will get to hear the music it fills up on the weekends but during the week it’s not too bad people are pretty friendly. One word of note is it it’s a sewer service that comes once every two weeks, you pay an additional $80 for the month if you’re staying here monthly to have your motorhome pumped out twice a month. Site 28 that we stayed in is one of the least level spaces. I would not suggest it.
