    Secluded Until It Wasn’t

    I enjoyed my stay here during the day, but things changed after dark. There were old weedeaters scattered in the weeds, along with grills and other items that seemed to have been tossed into the woods. I initially brushed it off and didn't think much of it. I was the only one camping at this site. As night fell, I began preparing for bed, but I noticed vehicles coming and going—at least three within an hour. Around 10 PM, a few Mustangs pulled up and sat for about 45 minutes. Feeling uneasy about the situation, I decided to pack up and leave. After sharing my experience with a few friends, many of them expressed their own concerns about this location. I give it 3 stars for the beauty and peacefulness... until nightfall.

    Gorgeous site, trails a little rough

    Beautiful campsite, just a few neighbors, tons of flat space and a few fire pits. There are hunters around and we heard a good deal of shots. Saw some deer on a walk. It was quite hot but surprisingly not that buggy.

    This place is a refuge. There are privately owned homes around but the folks keep to themselves. It's quiet, super dark at night and beautiful. No amenities, you pack it in, you pack it out. The state keeps it and the road in nice. Expect to have a drive thru at least once around 9/10. It's just a see who is in the area type thing. Very nice place

    Great Camping Spot

    Open spaces and very quiet this time of the year (January) train horn in the distance and gunshots in the distance as well from hunters here and there but all around a great spot to really enjoy.

    Nice Camping a Mile Off the Road

    Nice open camp site with plenty of spots for camping. Only a mile off the road, which is a little bumpy but manageable.

    Murder Creek Parking Area

    Great quiet place to enjoy the water cascaded

    To be honest, this is a parking lot people use to park and walk the 200 feet down the the shoals and water cascades along Murder Creek. When we arrived, right before sunset in the middle of the week, it was clear that people had camped here (old fire ring near the end of the parking lot). We decided to take a chance and were glad we did. Besides the faint traffic noise that is mostly drowned out by the waterfall noise, this place was very quiet. We saw no one that evening or the next morning prior to departure. Had fun walking down to the water. I suspect in the summer this area is quite the hot spot with swimmers. The lot provably does require a little clearance. So, a sedan may not be the best choice. That probably helps with traffic control on this road. The site is at the very end.

    Not a REAL Campground

    This place is not a REAL campground. It's a sad excuse for one. It's a parking lot. Only has 50 amp hook-up no adapters FOR ny other amp, no one to help you. No picnic tables, no fire pits, nothing. This place sucks.

    10/10 Experience!

    Not only is it a racetrack, it's a campground! AMS offers full hookup camping all throughout the year! Just $35 per night - was an amazing deal! Plenty of room, plenty of spots. They have some events throughout the year - great entertainment! There's also a gift shop and tours are available - was a super cool experience (ask for Miss Jan)! Away and outside of the noise and traffic of Atlanta (thank goodness!). Friendly staff and clean property. Pets are also welcome! Definitely recommend!
