Best Cabin Camping near Helen, GA

835 Reviews

Several state parks and private campgrounds near Helen, Georgia provide rustic cabins with varying levels of amenities. Unicoi State Park & Lodge, located just two miles from Helen, offers both standard cabins and unique "barrel cabins" with electricity, beds, and basic furnishings. Trackrock Campground & Cabins in nearby Blairsville features cabins with electricity, water access, and outdoor fire rings. Vogel State Park Campground, approximately 30 minutes from Helen, provides "modern, fully-equipped cabins complete with a small deck, grill, and picnic table," according to one visitor. Most cabins include air conditioning for summer comfort and heating systems for the cooler mountain nights.

Cabin rentals throughout the region range from basic one-room structures to multi-bedroom units with full kitchens. Black Rock Mountain State Park Campground offers cabins with electricity that operate seasonally from March through December. Bald Mountain Camping Resort provides lakefront cabins that sleep up to four people, though some visitors note limitations: "The cabins have 1 double bed and persons 3 & 4 would have to sleep on a fold out futon." Pet policies vary significantly between locations, with many state parks allowing pets in designated cabins for an additional fee. Reservations are essential during peak seasons, particularly fall when Helen's Oktoberfest attracts visitors to the area.

Most furnished cabins provide beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own linens, towels, and personal items. Kitchen facilities vary widely, from full kitchens with refrigerators and stoves to simple setups with only microwaves or outdoor cooking areas. Hearthstone Cabins and Camping, less than a mile from downtown Helen, offers "three cabins on this property that are fully set up (everything provided) and ready for you," making it an exception to the bring-your-own-supplies norm. Small general stores operate at several campgrounds, though selection is limited to basic necessities and firewood. For more extensive grocery shopping, the town of Helen has several markets where cabin campers can stock up before arrival.

    Amicalola Falls State Park Camping

    Has it all

    RV/tent camping and cabin rentals. Campsites had wifi and pretty good tv signal. There's also a lodge/hotel on site with a restaurant, with gorgeous views overlooking the valley below. Camping sites are spaced well apart with electric, water and fire rings. The campgrounds also feature a bathhouse and laundry.

    Begin your Appalachian Trail journey here with 604 steps to the top of a beautiful waterfall.

    Gorgeous Stays

    Cute place. Interesting Spots.

    Cute place. Interesting stays. Glamping tent, a bus, a tent pad, a few tiny cabins and more. Owners are nice and very accommodating. Shared gas fire area. It was a very cold night and they had our tent with heated blankets. It was definitely a Unique glamping area.

    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.

    Vogel State Park Campground

    Beautiful State Park

    Beautiful State Park with roomy shaded sites, many of which are creekside. A large lake for fishing and swimming is at the front of the park and it offers canoe and paddle boat rentals. Lots to do on-site such as walking trails, hiking and fishing, playgrounds and a Conservation Corps museum. Trahlyta Falls is an easy walking path, and the park also offers nice cabin rentals. There are no sewer hook-up, but it does have an easy access dump station.

    Vogel State Park Campground

    Beautiful hiking, large campsites

    We enjoyed a challenging 11-mile hike up and over 3 mountains from trail heads inside the park. There are shorter hikes that start here as well. My 9-year old loved exploring the mushrooms and nature growing in the very wooded campsites. The campsites are large with driveways, 1-2 tent pads, picnic table, fire ring and lantern poles at each site. The campground was very busy and you could see your neighbors around you. But this also means there are more conveniences like running water and hot showers. The campground also has a mini-gold course, lake and gift shop. There were lots of kids riding bikes and dogs are allowed, so while this so not a serene site, it's definitely great for families and groups that want to hang out!

    Black Rock Mountain State Park Campground

    Fantastic Group Campsite!

    The group campground was better than my field lab group could've imagined! The site included 4 shelters with bunks, a pit toilet and outdoor shower, a grill, fire pit, and a little cabin with electricity. The campsite was so secluded and private, yet not too far from the cabins up the mountain. The state park is amazing too. Cannot recommend highly enough!

    Two Wheels of Suchess

    Great Motorcycle Only campground

    Two Wheels of Suchess campground is one of the best motorcycle campgrounds I've stayed at. Open tent areas, trees for hammock camping, cabins and a bunk house are also available. Meals are available Friday night through Sunday morning, as well as breakfast on Monday morning. Fire wood and ice available 24 hours. The paved parking lot in front of the main lodge is for motorcycles only, however there is a gravel parking lot for 4 wheel vehicles. The campground and cabin areas are accessable via a bridge that is purposely not wide enough for a car to cross, but Motorcycles an trikes can. The facilities are kept in top-notch shape. Showers were spotless the 4 days I spent there. Lots of awesome roads in the area available to ride. Inside the lodge is the restaurant and an area to lounge with a fire place, big screen TV, couch, recliners and hundreds of motorcycle magazines to read. A stream runs through part of the tent camping area and next to the parking lot by the lodge.

    Bald Mountain Camping Resort

    Very nice campground

    We stayed in Lakefront Cabin C09 across from the lake. The campground was very quiet with no road noises and such, and we had a beautiful view of the mountains surrounding the campground. There is firewood available onsite very reasonably priced, and the cabins came with a grill and firepit. There is a ball field onsite, miniature golf, a game room and a lake with paddle boats. There are multiple hiking trails, a ropes course and rafting available nearby in less than 30 minutes. And, of course, Helen is not far if that's your thing.

    The one downside is that when they advertise that the lakeside cabins sleep 4, that might be a bit charitable. The cabins (at least ours) have 1 double bed and persons 3 & 4 would have to sleep on a fold out futon. Also, you must bring ALL your own linens (towels, bedding, and so forth.)

    Overall, a lovely place. We would stay there again.
