    North Sungate Farms Treehouse Glamping

    Peaceful, private Creekside gem...

    Fun and relaxing creekside Glamping treehouse, there's plenty of space for a few tents as well. The creek is cool and refreshing to enjoy rock hunting. Large fire pit and grill to make our dinner. We stargazed on one if the clear nights, looked like the planetarium! When we went to sleep we we're comfortable in the Air-conditioned beautifully decorated treehouse. Lots of fun places to go within 20 minutes in any direction... really centrally located in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains!

    Jenny's Creek Family Campground

    Great Family Campground!

    We stayed here over July 4th weekend and it was a really great experience! The campground is nice and well kept. The bathrooms were so clean and so nice! They are air conditioned with three stall and three showers. They also have a nice playground on site as well as a air conditioned club house they provides a nice break from the heat. They also have firewood and I’ve on site which is really convenient. The owners are super nice and come by each morning to pick up your trash. We enjoyed fishing in the pond and trekking through the creek. We would highly recommend for anyone camping in the Cleveland/Helen area.

    Two Wheels of Suchess

    Love TWoS!!!

    I have stayed here 3 or 4 times. The owner takes great great pride in his ownership. He was able to buy it from a family whom let the place go down hill then rebuilt it himself with family and friends. The cabins are warm at night without the need for a heat source. The shower house is also climate controlled. There are no designated places for tents therefore you don't necessarily have to stay in the first spot you picked. Another thing I love about the ownership is your bill is on the honor system. They will not hound you about what you owe. You can pay as you go or wait for the total as you leave. You are far enough in the sticks but also close to whatever you need from down the road. He placed 2 or 3 (can't remember) posts for electricity and never complained about me stinging my 100' extension cord through the creek so we could enjoy the fire pits as well as the electricity for phones and tent heaters. Their food is very good too sadly, only on the weekends from Friday evening to Sunday morning.

    Oconee State Park Campground

    Cute cabins in beautiful state park

    We spent 2 nights in one of the cabins in this beautiful state park during a road trip through South Carolina. And let me say, 2 nights was not enough! The cabin itself was very well kept. There was air conditioning, 2 bedrooms, 1 full kitchen, 1 full bathroom, and a fire place. We stopped at a Walmart in one of the towns before the park to stock up on food.

    There are multiple cabins scattered around the lake but they are a good distance apart from each other so you won't be disturbed by your neighbors. There was a fire ring and picnic in front of the cabin where we made smores after dinner and a cute screened porch with rocking chairs where we had coffee and breakfast on every morning. The cabin was right next to the small lake, which had a short trail going around it. We saw people fishing and I believe you can rent canoes as well in the park.

    You definitely need more than 2 days to explore this cute little park. There are multiple hiking trails near by and definitely a lot of wild life. But it was definitely a peaceful and quiet park perfect for a relaxing weekend away.

    Amicalola Falls State Park Camping

    Beautiful park

    We stayed at the State park from June 6-9. There are only about 24 sites, some cabins, and some new glamping tents. There is a bathhouse with individual showers. You are fairly close to the lodge. You are also right at the falls. BEWARE- there is a steep 24% grade getting to the campground. The campground was neat, clean, and quiet.

    Charming Tree House in the Forest

    Wanna feel like a kid again? (A playful treehouse in the NC foothills)

    My family of three stayed here for one night in late June. We got in a little late, around 7:30 pm, after we met up with some friends for dinner in Murphy.  My one regret is that we did not get here earlier to allow more time for play during daylight hours. If you are not entertained at this site, you are not trying hard enough. There is an amazing amount to do in this small space. First is the treehouse itself. You can get up into it by climbing up a spiral staircase or up rungs on one of the support logs. To get down you can go down one of two slides or shimmy down a firepole. Inside the treehouse are two twin bunk beds and one fold out cot. The space inside is rather small. With the cot folded out there was barely any room to move. However, since you will only be inside to sleep, it works. The beds were fairly comfortable, though the top bunk is quite close to the roof. I slept in the top bunk and my husband slept on the bottom. Every time I would turn over in the night I would hit my knee on the roof and wake him up.  :)  There is also a small table, first aid kit, candles, and a composting toilet with a curtain in the corner.  The toliet was a bucket with a seat, and not being used to such a small, low potty, it was a little uncomfortable, but doable. The treehouse is not sealed - the roof is sound but there are spaces between the planks on the sides (screen has been placed over the sides to help control bugs). The windows have cloth hangings, and one of the entries has a closing door. The other is wide open. Being summer, I was worried about heat and bugs, but I didn't have a problem with either. We were provided two battery-powered fans to keep us cool. By the time they died it as late enough that heat wasn't a problem. 

    Now that's I've described the treehouse, let's talk about the rest of the site. Underneath the sleeping platform is a ground floor platform with a hammock and small propane stove with pots. A water cooler and trash can are also here. A few steps away is a firepit, and a few chairs, with provided firewood and marshmellow-roasting utensils. For play, there are hula hoops, a half-buried tire to climb on, a slack line, and a tremendously cool rope swing. This swing is about 30 feet high, and to start to climb up to a platform 5 feet above the ground. When you swing, it is a huge pendulum. What a thrill! Next to the treehouse is a homemade sled slide (see pics) that is also a blast. Down next to another rented space (the Hollar House) is a small zipline. Up the hill are blackberry bushes. So like I said, lots to keep you happy and entertained. 

    The lows: There's always got to be a couple things about a place that I wish could be better. For us, it was the Hollar House. The folks staying there came in at 9:30 pm and their headlights showed right into the treehouse. When they spent a minute or two turning around their car in front of the house, the lights blinded us at the campfire. And when they turned on the string lights on the porch and went inside, it was too bright to enjoy being around the campfire. I went over and kindly asked them to turn the lights off, since they weren't outside anyway, and they graciously obliged, but other campers may not be able to or want to approach strangers to ask them to turn off lights. 

    The highs: Besides the cool swings and slides, the owners were most definitely the best. Emilie and her two sons were very friendly and helpful in greeting us and getting us squared away. Her youngest son was the same age as my daughter and they had a great time playing together. She gave us bowls to collect blackberries and showed us how the swings and zip line worked. Awesome folks. 

    Overall, would recommend. Don't come here expecting a 5-star suite. It is tight and rustic. But it is a lot of fun!

Moved to site 47(Pull-Thru) but due to road slope pull-thru is un-usable. Lower numbered sites(less than 30) appear somewhat better. Empty camp ground host side byhind 47 cannot be used unless site 47 is emprty due to sloping road. One single use dump station. One campground host presently in the park- their site was not marked. Appears that most sites are back-in and set sideways to a hillside and lakefront leaving very little level space for chairs. Fire rings are frequently located 12-20 feet away from picnic table and 3 to 9 feet below site level on a slope. Reservation Software used by office was down upon Saturday arrival with no IT help until Monday- two days away leaving office staff frustrated and using their own phone to access the reservation system customers use instead of management side of software. Staff stated it goes down frequently with no IT support on weekends. Six bathhouses in park. Bathhouse nearest beach closed awaiting replacement of fixtures after renovation. Shower has outdated fixtures- several shower heads had significant mineral deposits restricting flow. Men's side closed at another bathhouse. Many shower stalls had no hook or fixture to hang a towel or clothing. Several showers had broken shower valves making them unusable. Stayed 9 nights and did not see anyone working on bathhouses. Beach area parking is limited to 6 or 7 spaces and one handicap space however, there is a larger parking lot a little further away. Bathhouse showers have a pull string valve next to the shower head that had to be held down to get water with many strings broken, missing and too short to allow shorter people, children, or handicaped wheel-chair use. Some sites have precarious/dangerous sloping driveways for RVs to get into. Newly installed sites are near completion but they make sites very close together. Many sites do not have a fire pit and many do not have a grill. Many sites arer too small to park a second vhicle even if the camper is small. Parking on dirt or grass is prohibited by rules but appears to be selectively enforced. The campground has a boat ramp and reasonably large parking area. Extra careful site selection is warranted. Four docks in River Forks Park. Firewood is available at the office. CHECK-IN: 01:00 PM CHECK-OUT: 12:00 PM RIG: 42ft- 17,000 lb 5th Wheel"

    Cherry Hill Campground

    Nice, basic campground

    Fairly nice campsite set up with nice concrete table and tent pad. Some sites more spacious and laid out better then others. (We had three families camping in sites 17 & 18... would have been better in 16 & 17 or for the price book all 3, 16-18) 1 bath house centrally located with 4 rooms each having toilet, sink, hand dryer and small camp shower with seat and hand held shower head. (Prison style toilets, lol) Water spigots places through out campsites (1 for sites 15-19 in loop). With them opening late this season was surprised of condition of campground. Very clean however could have used a little TLC, small landscaping in sites and several fire pits not level and full of old ashes and whatnot (causing nice wet layer for fire starting) just figured with this being the first weekend open this season due to COVID-19 that they would have taken down time to spruce up area. Camp Host and camp ranger on site were super friendly and helpful though (Camped June 26-28, 2020)

    Amicalola Falls State Park Camping

    Loved it

    We arrived just before sunset & we were in a rush to set up before it started to pour. We had no trouble finding our reserved site & while we were getting settled, the hosts (Cocoa & Ryan) popped over to welcome us & also brought back firewood a few mins later. The sky opened up shortly after & it poured ALL night long, but our site didn’t flood. Quiet hours began at 10 PM, and I didn’t hear a peep from anyone else after that! The bathrooms stayed clean for our entire stay, & the hosts graciously offered us a ride to the hiking trails in their golf cart the next morning, so we didn’t have to fold up our rooftop tent to drive down. I wish we would have been able to stay longer, and we can’t wait to return!


Guide to Cleveland

North Georgia's glamping options near Cleveland sit at elevations between 1,800-2,500 feet, creating a temperate mountain climate that supports diverse forest ecosystems. Summer temperatures typically range 75-85°F during day and 55-65°F at night, while fall brings dramatic color changes to the dense hardwood forests. Most camping areas feature granite outcroppings and clear mountain streams characteristic of the southern Appalachian region.

What to do

Waterfall hiking trails: Access multiple cascades directly from Desoto Falls campground via maintained trails. "The trails to both falls were very well kept and felt safe. All the bridges and viewing platforms were well taken care of and felt very sturdy," reports a camper. The hike to upper and lower falls is suitable for moderate fitness levels.

Appalachian Trail connections: Several campgrounds connect to the AT for day hikes or extended backcountry treks. At Lake Winfield Scott Campground, "It has a trail that connects to the AT so you may meet some hikers bound for Maine or may want to make it a stop on a longer AT hike," explains a visitor. The AT access point is approximately 1.5 miles from the main camping area.

Fishing opportunities: Cast a line at multiple stocked lakes and streams within 20 minutes of Cleveland. "We love that it's on the lake because family members have boats and its just easy to jump on at the campsite dock," notes a camper at Don Carter State Park. Fishing licenses required and available online through Georgia Department of Natural Resources.

What campers like

Creek-side camping: Many sites feature water access for ambient sound and cooling effects. At Raven Cliff Falls, "We camped along the creek at one of these sites. We absolutely loved being by the creek, and a lot of the sites are spread out to give a good bit of privacy," reports one visitor. Sites closest to water tend to book first.

Clean facilities: Campground bathhouses receive consistent maintenance. At Jenny's Creek Family Campground, "The campground is nice and well kept. The bathrooms were so clean and so nice! They are air conditioned with three stall and three showers," mentions a satisfied camper. Most campgrounds clean facilities daily.

No cell service: Some locations offer true disconnection from technology. At Lake Winfield Scott, a camper notes, "This park is pretty remote - we couldn't even get cell service from our campsite." Similarly, at Enota Mountain Retreat, one visitor appreciated that "there is no cell service. It was so peaceful and it seemed like a great place to bring kids."

What you should know

Weather variability: Mountain elevations cause rapid temperature changes. "It was a bit chilly and quiet," reports a camper who stayed at Vogel State Park Campground in February. Pack layers regardless of season as evening temperatures can drop 15-20 degrees from daytime highs.

Bears present: Wildlife requires proper food storage. "We were visited by a bear two of the nights. The bear took our neighbors dog food they forgot to pack out. So pack out all food items and trash or hang a bear bag," warns a camper at Raven Cliff Falls. Bear-resistant containers recommended at all area campgrounds.

Booking windows: Reserve well in advance for peak seasons. At Vogel State Park, a visitor notes, "This is one of the most popular parks in GA. It is usually crowded and books quickly." Most state parks open reservations 13 months in advance for peak fall color season.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly amenities: Seek campgrounds with dedicated play areas. "[Vogel State Park] has a swimming beach also exists on the park's 22 acre picturesque lake," writes one camper. Many campgrounds offer children's programming during summer months with ranger-led activities.

Short hiking options: Choose trails appropriate for young hikers. At Unicoi State Park & Lodge, "My kids and I went camping at Unicoi Park in the summer and there is plenty to keep them busy. They played in the creek, on the swing set and walked the trail to the swimming section of the lake. The trail isn't too far and it has just enough woods to feel like an old school camp," shares a parent.

Glamping for first-timers: Try luxury accommodations close to Cleveland, Georgia for families new to camping. "We stayed in a yurt, this was our first time in a yurt. My family and I had a blast at Jenny's Creek, we will definitely be returning for vacations," reports a visitor who appreciated the clean facilities and game room for kids.

Tips from RVers

Site size limitations: Check length restrictions before booking. "Our campsite was a tad bit small for our camper, large campers like motorhomes or fifth-wheels will not fit," warns a camper at Don Carter State Park. Most glamping areas accommodate smaller RVs but have limited pull-through sites.

Leveling challenges: Prepare for uneven terrain at some mountain campgrounds. At Trackrock Campground & Cabins, one RVer reports, "Sites aren't super level but it was ok." Bring leveling blocks as many mountain sites require significant adjustment due to terrain.

Heat management: Consider seasonal temperatures when glamping in RVs. "This is Georgia's newest state park (2013) and it is a beautiful park! The ASPHALT is part of the reason for the review's title, coupled with the fact that this is a new park and tree coverage is a bit sparse for the time being," notes a camper about summer heat at Don Carter State Park.
