    Our Ocoee River Camping site is located on a 6 acre campground where you can park, set up site, build a fire, and hang out. Hammock campers have plenty of trees to choose from and the shade helps keep you cool on those hot summer days. If that’s not cool enough, our property borders the Lower Ocoee and has two take outs allowing easy access into and out of the river for those looking to float or take a swim.

    Lake Conasauga Overflow Campground — Chattahoochee Oconee National Forest

    Long drive down gravel roads

    It took us about 1.5 hours to reach the campground from where the pavement ended. It gets rough in places, but a sedan can do it if it's dry. Once you finally reach the campground, it is nice. Nestled way back in the woods. No power or water hookups. A couple of water hydrates throughout the campground. No alcohol permitted. It is a wildlife management area. There is a host in the campground. Beautiful scenery!

    Blue Hole is neat

    Land pass required. No alcohol is permitted. This is a wildlife management area. The camp sites are first come, first serve. They are free. Only 2 sites with tables. If you like dispersed camping you'll probably enjoy it. If you prefer a campground, this is not for you.

    Pocket Campground — Chattahoochee Oconee National Forest

    Our favorite local campground

    The Pocket is our favorite place to camp. You're under a good canopy, so lots of shade. The creek is great for kids to play in. There's no need to bring water, just a container. There's a natural spring that flows out of the ground in the day area. We drink this water every day. We are local to The Pocket, so we fill jugs for home here as well. It is very cold water. No matter the temperature, you'll cool off in the spring. No showers but they do have a bathroom house. No water or power hookups. Site 10 is right next to the creek and gets the most sun. Site 7 is close to the day area, and people tend to intrude on your privacy in this site. Other than that, the campground is awesome! Our favorite sites are 6 and 23.

    Beautiful and peaceful

    We just finished our third RV trip at 411 River Rest CG—which was our seventh trip there over the past few years.  The campground is pretty and extremely well maintained.  The Coosawattee River is beautiful, as are the big trees that are a part of the facility.  The exceptionally large and tall sycamores are particularly nice!  The owners are friendly and they’re involved on a daily basis with the operations.  We already have two trips scheduled for 411 RR CG for next year!

    Beautiful and quiet

    This quiet little camp site is in the heart of the cherokee Forest. It’s so beautiful. Each site is a good distance away from the other and there is the constant sound of the creek flowing right next to it. The bathrooms are clean and right in the middle a perfect spot for a getaway

    Awesome campground

    I always have a great time staying at this campground and meeting many friendly people. The road noise is not as bad as some people say. I mostly hear only the river running. The shower house is always clean, and for $15, it is a great deal. Make reservations on line as it fills up on the weekends.

    Chilhowee Recreation Area

    It's a nice campground, but...

    We stayed on site 15 of the B loop. It was a great location, but in the center of the site once stood a large tree with a timber surround. The tree has been cut down, but the surround is still there, and we kept tripping over it. Otherwise, it's close to the bathhouse, and the water spigot is right across the street. As someone who uses a camper, here's what you need to know. Coming up the mountain has some steep grades and a few switch backs that you can't see around. There are often oncoming vehicles who are often driving to fast and not considering those of us in large vehicles. We had a couple of course calls even without the camper in tow. The roads in the campground are narrow and again, some of the turns are sharp when pulling a trailer. There is only one dump station and it's on the other side of the campground. From the B loop, you have to traverse about a 120 degree switchback to get to it. My friend who was there pulling a 5th wheel decided not to try it and opted to pay to dump somewhere else. I pull a 25ft travel trailer and had no problem, although it felt sketchy going into it. Once there, it was probably the best dump station I've ever used. The water pressure almost blew a connection to my tank flush, but I'm sure the tank is clean now! As I eluded to before, there are no water hookups at the sites, only power (30A). You'll need to fill your fresh water tanks before you set up. Cell/ internet; in the B loop there is NO AT&T in spite of what this site says. You may get a weak signal on the other side, but it's spotty at best. There appeared to be a Verizon tower on the mountain, so that will probably work. It is a pet friendly campground, but personally, I don't find that friendly. I don't like walking up to someone dog barking at the person getting their 6 am morning walk and then the owner yelling at the dog to be quiet.

    Doll Mountain Campground

    Peaceful, clean, and well-organized.

    We stayed in a tent on the one tent-only electric site. A lot of the sites have electricity and power. People adhered to the quiet hours. The bath house is about a 5 minute walk from most of the sites, and they are clean and well-maintained (they were better than I expected). 

    As for things to do, the campground is a short drive from downtown Ellijay. Within the campground, there's a boat ramp to Carters Lake, and the lake is beautiful. Most of the sites overlook the lake, although the views are partly blocked by trees. 

    The sites are private and not on top of each other, which is nice. The website will say that the tent needs to be of a certain dimension to be on the wooden platform, but you can also set up the tent on the gravel area in front of the wooden platform.

    We paid $24/night, with water and electricity.

    Very Decent Primitive Spot

    Overall we enjoyed this stay! GPS wants to take you to where the road dead ends but the actual turn off is before the end of the road on the right where the big wood sign is. The first road is pretty nice but then the road forks. We went right which goes up, passed an open gate followed the road LOTS OF DEEP POTHOLES. The road then opens up to a four way, we kept going straight, followed the road down and then came to three sites all empty. It was quiet and we were alone so overall we enjoyed other than the deep potholes. Our truck is pretty high and 4x4 so wasn’t too bad for us but a low car may not fair as well. We were there on a Friday

    Beautiful, quiet, & shady

    This place did not disappoint. Wife and I were wanting to stay at Desoto State Park but it was full. The husband and wife duo that owns this took us in and treated us like royalty. They looked after us and even stayed up all night to help everyone watch the weather during a tornado watch. RV spots were very shady from all the trees and super quiet. Beautiful piece of property. Bath houses kept hot water too!

    4.9 stars

    What a beautiful place. Stayed the weekend and hit almost all of the trails, saw 4 waterfalls and so many amazing rock formations. There are three trailheads that leave directly from the campground, which is a well-kept and clean place with well spaced sites. The upper loop is on a hill, but the sites are spaced out slightly more than the lower loop. The lower loop was more level and a bit newer. The best sites are in the 60s on the outer part of the lower loop. Just a wonderful place to spend a weekend.

    A Great, Affordable Camground

    Stayed for 5 nights

    Highly recommend site 25 if you enjoy seclusion (like we do). We had no neighbors on either side of us and we had an obstructed view of the lake.

    The parking pads are gravel and great for campers of just about any size (ours is 25 feet), and we saw many big rigs here.

    Roads are steep and a little narrow, so take your time.

    Great boat ramp and clean showers/bathhouses.

    AT&T phone service = 2-3 bars consistently Verizon phone service = 1-2 bars

    Not much to do here except boating, but it was a great place to relax for a few days before our next stop.

    $28 per night for water/30amp

    Conasauga River Trail & Panther Creek Intersection

    This review is about the Conasauga River Trail intersection with Panther Creek. There is only one campsite at the intersection. It has a great fire pit and is flat, spacious, and next to the river. Definitely ideal. If it’s taken, there may be some other sites further down the trail. My loop started at Betty’s gap and then down the Conasauga River Trail. 5 miles is fine - BUT bring shoes that will get wet, water shoes if possible. You have the cross the river like 30 times in 5 miles. There are also many fallen trees, so be prepared. The next day I headed up towards panther creek. NEVER trust yourself. As of May 2024: As you go UP the canyon, there are green blazers on the trees. Follow these (about 1 mile ip, the wagon road will curve left and many people have gone down it. STAY RIGHT.) When you reach the top of the falls, the land is flat and wide, and it will be hard to find the trail. Follow any path here, and you will find that the trail is down about 7 minutes, towards the LEFT and the trees had orange tape around them. The trees then are marked with white blazers. Follow this trail up and you hit East Cowpen. I used this to loop back to my car which was at Betty’s Gap on Three Forks Road (FS 64). Not for the faint of heart. Much easier to do a long hard arduous day trip than to backpack over all the fallen trees! Be prepared for dense foliage after April. Certainly easier in the fall/winter!

    Pretty Decent Place to Stay

    A little farther off the highway than I wanted to go, but definitely a solid free campsite. There are a few substantial pot holes, so wouldn’t recommend for someone driving a super low vehicle. Also GPS isn’t perfect. It will take u to someone’s private property next door. Look for the big wooden sign that indicates that it is for public use.

    Many hiking and viewpoints

    Great place to camp near the cloudland canyon. The campsite 8 that we camped on was far from parking and restroom, so you might wanna choose the sites near to parking. Be prepared to carry things for quite a walk. Bring something to carry water to your site from water filling station near the restrooms. But, the campsites are well spaced so you will have the privacy you need. There are lots of beautiful hiking places nearby.
