North Georgia's Blue Ridge Mountains house several upscale glamping options near Morganton, with Amicalola Falls State Park and Trackrock Campground offering distinctive outdoor-luxury experiences. These sites feature safari-style glamping tents with queen beds, memory foam mattresses, and climate control systems for year-round comfort. Amicalola's glamping accommodations include solar showers, essential cookware, and private fire pits with grills. "Fun and relaxing creekside glamping treehouse, there's plenty of space for a few tents as well. When we went to sleep we were comfortable in the Air-conditioned beautifully decorated treehouse," noted one visitor about North Sungate Farms' treehouse accommodations. Most glamping sites provide electricity, heated blankets for cooler months, and eco-friendly bathroom facilities, while some feature unique sleeping quarters in treehouses overlooking mountain streams.
Trackrock's glamping area connects directly to miles of hiking and mountain biking trails, with horseback riding available on-site. Guests at North Sungate Farms can enjoy rock hunting in the cool, refreshing creek that runs alongside their treehouse accommodations. A recent visitor mentioned, "We stargazed on one of the clear nights, looked like the planetarium!" The region's glamping sites serve as ideal basecamps for exploring nearby attractions including Helen's Bavarian-themed village, Blue Ridge's shops and restaurants, and the Appalachian Trail access points. Most eco-friendly glamping options operate seasonally from April through November, though some offer heated accommodations year-round. Advance reservations are essential, particularly during fall foliage season when the surrounding national forest draws visitors to its vibrant autumn colors.

ScoutFun 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!
GuideWe 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.
TravelerI 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.
TravelerThis campground is great! It has clean bathrooms with showers, fire rings with grill grates, lots of hiking, hike to a beautiful waterfall, huge lake to swim or float on a raft, and the lightning bugs were breath taking!!
We stayed at site #39. Next to the trail that leads to the lake. Next to rest room, trash bin, and water spout. This specific site has the driveway and then stairs to the fire/table/tent pad. We set our large tent on the tent pad and a smaller tent on the driveway next to the stairs.
Pros: No reservation needed. Warmish showers. Hiking. Lake to swim in. Beautiful waterfall. Perfect to see millions of lightning bugs. Easy payment (put money in slip and put in bin, and yes they do check). Pets allowed.
Cons: we had the WORST neighbors I’ve ever experienced while camping! The staff warned them about quiet hours but never came back to in force it. Fire ring grill topper was broke off.
DON’T drive up the dirt path, we made that mistake. Take the regular rode. GPS sends you automatically to the dirt road.
Over all I’m defiantly going to camp there again. Well kept and overall has a lot to offer
LegendCute 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.
GuideWe 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.
LegendMy 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!
GuideWe love camping at Fort Mountain. Its usually a good bit cooler due to the elevation, and the private wooded campsites make tent camping in Georgia’s summer heat much more enjoyable. Good hiking and things to do nearby.
The North Georgia mountains surrounding Morganton sit at elevations between 1,800-3,000 feet, creating moderate temperature differences from nearby lowlands. Summer daytime temperatures typically range from 75-85°F, while nights can drop into the 50s even during warm months. This climate makes tent and yurt camping near Morganton particularly comfortable during spring and fall, when seasonal foliage changes create distinctive camping experiences.
Horseback riding access: At Trackrock Campground & Cabins, riders of all experience levels can enjoy guided trail experiences. "My husband lived that there were many mountain bike trails nearby as well as hiking trails. I also got to enjoy a lovely horseback ride on Chubby Checker with Sonya....that was the highlight of the trip for me," reports one visitor. Trail rides typically last 1-2 hours and require advance booking.
Lake swimming options: Morganton Point Campground provides direct access to Lake Blue Ridge. "The lake is extremely clean and the rental shop by the lake rents kayaks and paddleboards. However, it is a little pricey if you plan on doing it. It was $35 for a kayak or paddleboard," notes a camper. The swimming area includes a roped-off section and small beach.
Winter hiking trails: When temperatures drop, many trails remain accessible at Fort Mountain State Park Campground. A visitor explains, "We visited this park in early/mid November for 10 days. Keith and I hiked and played hard every day here- despite the early winter storm, gusty breezes and freezing temperatures that finally gave way to beautiful crisp days." Most trails stay open year-round, though some facilities close seasonally.
Platform camping: For a distinctive yurt camping alternative near Morganton, Georgia, consider the elevated platforms at Fort Mountain. "I'll be honest. I've never slept outside of a tent. I've always wanted to, but never had the guts to do it... The site itself was in a beautiful location, had a hand pump on site, and also had a shared bear proof storage box," explains a camper who tried this unusual accommodation.
Clean bathroom facilities: Vogel State Park Campground maintains exceptional facilities. "Bathroom/showerhouses are strategically located in each loop. They are modern, bright, well-stocked and clean! Also provided are individual 'family/unisex' bathroom/shower facilities," notes one visitor. These facilities remain operational year-round and include heated options during colder months.
Wildlife viewing: Expect natural encounters throughout the region. "We had bear visitors, something they'll warn you about upon arrival. The bears just added to the appeal of this place though," writes a camper at Fort Mountain State Park. Most campgrounds provide bear-resistant storage and safety information upon check-in.
Winter water limitations: Many campgrounds reduce services during colder months. "The lake was pretty low at winter level. A friend of mine who fished still caught some both days. She said the area near the boat dock was rocky and not the muddy mess the rest of the low level lake was," reports a winter visitor to Morganton Point. Expect significant water level changes between summer and winter.
Tent site terrain variations: Prepare for potentially challenging ground conditions. "The ground was hard & pretty level. Make sure you have solid tent spikes," advises a Trackrock Campground visitor. Many sites throughout the region feature compacted gravel surfaces requiring specialized stakes or alternative anchoring methods.
Seasonal pest issues: Be prepared for specific insect activity depending on timing. "One was our first encounter with 'stink bugs'. They were everywhere and you couldn't keep them out of the RV. When we got home to Florida we were still killing them inside the RV for almost 5 months!" notes a camper at Chilhowee Recreation Area.
Dedicated youth activities: Amicalola Falls State Park Camping offers specialized recreation spaces. "Nice state park with good amenities. Loved the hike and waterfalls," mentions one visitor, while another adds, "my teens loved it. They found all kinds of insects they had never seen even a Luna moth." The park provides junior ranger programs during summer months.
Creek exploration areas: Several campgrounds feature water features safe for supervised play. At Vogel State Park, "a creek runs right next to them and it was so peaceful and beautiful. The trails along the lake were nice and the dogs enjoyed it," notes a camper about the walk-in sites. These areas typically feature gentle currents and shallow depths.
Accessible stargazing locations: Clear mountain nights offer exceptional astronomical viewing. A visitor to Chilhowee notes, "The lightning bugs were breath taking!" while another camper shares, "We were here during COVID, so felt a bit nervous about using the park restrooms, but didn't have an option as our site was electric only, and we needed showers everyday after hiking/biking."
Navigation challenges: Large rigs face specific routing issues throughout the mountain region. "The roads are extremely steep getting to the campground," warns an Amicalola Falls visitor. Another camper at Chilhowee reports, "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."
Site leveling requirements: Be prepared with appropriate equipment. "The site had about a 5 inch difference shopping towards the road. I used rocker blocks maxed out (about 4 inches in height) and still was not level," explains a Fort Mountain camper. Most sites throughout the region feature some degree of slope requiring leveling blocks or other stabilization systems.
Dump station accessibility: Plan waste management carefully. A Chilhowee camper notes, "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."
