18 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Tallulah Gorge State Park offers luxury glamping accommodations with upscale canvas options set within a scenic woodland area. The glamping sites feature comfortable beds with quality linens, electricity, climate control, and private outdoor spaces that overlook the spectacular gorge landscape. "This is a beautiful campground with awesome trails right from the campground. Lots of stairs to the bottom of the gorge but so worth it," notes one visitor. Each site includes picnic tables, fire rings, and water hookups, with easy access to well-maintained bathhouses featuring hot showers and laundry facilities. Nearby, Tugaloo State Park provides additional glamping options with yurt rentals that blend rustic charm with modern comforts.
Hiking trails connect directly from the glamping areas to Tallulah Gorge's dramatic 1,000-foot canyon with its suspension bridge and multiple overlooks. The North Shore Trail leads to Toccoa Falls, while other nearby attractions include Lake Tugaloo for kayaking and paddleboarding. According to a camper, "The views from the top trails are amazing! We didn't get to go to the suspension bridge or gorge floor as we had our dogs and the floor was closed but still worth seeing." Glamping guests enjoy convenient access to dining options in nearby Helen and Clayton, with several wineries including 12 Spies offering sunset views. Reservations are recommended year-round, with spring and fall offering the most comfortable temperatures for enjoying the luxury camping amenities.

ScoutWe stayed for a week in late October. Quiet and secluded but right outside of Franklin. Very. Nicely decorated. Has small campstore, very nice laundryroom, and a guest event center. Rick, the campsite host, helped me get backed in and asked if I needed any more help. Some pull-throughs. Some sites are a little tight but others really nice. We will definitely come back.
ScoutWhatever person or group of persons designed the campground were clueless as to how to develop a campground. Sites are packed in the most preposterous configuration to have tents, trailers motorhomes all jammed together nearly touching each other with zero privacy. Come for the hikes and views of the gorge but come with the lowest expectations for the campground and you’ll be fine
TravelerMy son, daughter-in-law, and twin grandchildren, and I camped here to watch the full solar eclipse in 2017. We had a beautiful tent site. There was a little playground that the kids really enjoyed and abundant shade at the camping site. Bathrooms were clean, wood for campfires was available, and we had a wonderful time.
ScoutWalk to trail sites, clean bathrooms, sites close together…water and electric at site. Sites are sloped gravel.
TravelerStayed 1 week in site 12. Great small campground, clean and quiet. Jojo was a great host and 5pm happy hour gathering was fun. Will DEFINITELY return. Its a great spot for launching adventures.
TravelerWay too many rules to have to abide by. It’s not a day use area, so you HAVE to camp over night or else they threaten to ban you from all FoCo campsites. Normally not a big deal, but there was supposed to be rain during our visit and that had me paranoid. We camped out, the rain held off, it was nice. Then day 2, I wasn’t feeling it anymore, but I didn’t want to be banned from camping 🙄 so we stayed the night and packed up at 5:45am the next day. No coffee or chilling. I just wanted to get out of there! I love camping out in the wilderness…no rules, no stress, no people, no RVs. Just nature.
GuideThis is our first time coming here. We booked online, which was simple The campground is very well kept. The sites aren’t any closer together than your average campground. It seems to me that the owners are conscientious about keeping everyone spaced out so you don’t have anyone right on top of you. (The campground was not full during our visit) The only con to this place is you don’t get to pick your site. It’s assigned to you. I will said that I asked specifically for a shady spot & they obliged me. (Very nice owners) Not all of the sites are level but hey, that’s was risers are for 🤷🏻♀️ We didn’t have any issues after a couple of well placed risers. Even though the highway is close you don’t notice the traffic noise. It’s very quiet at night. When you arrive & get checked in, someone escorts you to your site & helps get you backed in. They will pick up, fill & return your propane tanks. You just have to leave your tank @ the edge of your camp site. If you leave your trash at the edge of your site they pick it up for you. They will also deliver firewood as well as a fire pit if you don’t have one.
GuideVery large dispersed campsites along the White Oak Gap Road. Very rugged road, AWD recommended but possible in some smaller vehicles. Creek crossings in some areas. Access to Dukes Creek Trail and Raven Cliffs Trail towards bottom of road. Vault toilets near trailheads. Great for large groups, our party slept 8 tents and several hammocks and there was still plenty of space.
TravelerWe camped next to the fishing pier, the site was a bit uneven and I had to do some creative engineering to get my 26' rig level. It has been very quiet during the week. By the way, we have great T-Mobile service.
Tallulah Gorge State Park offers traditional camping in addition to the luxury glamping options. The campground provides 50 sites with water and electrical hookups, with full bathroom facilities available for campers. The main campground sits at 1,200 feet elevation in dense forest, creating naturally cooler temperatures than surrounding areas. Multiple trailheads connect directly to the camping areas, with permits required for gorge floor access.
Explore waterfalls and streams: At Tallulah Gorge State Park, visitors can view multiple cascading waterfalls along the gorge. "A ton of waterfalls. A very pretty gorge, you will walk up and down lots of stairs! Stop by if you are in the area," notes Aaron S. The trail system includes over 1,000 stairs leading to viewpoints.
Hike challenging terrain: The hiking around Oconee State Park offers varied difficulty levels with multiple waterfall access points. "There are tons of hiking opportunities in the area with tons of waterfalls. We did get to hike to a few, but wish we had more time to spend there," shares Jay B. Most trails are moderate to difficult with elevation changes.
Kayak and paddleboard: Water activities on Lake Tugaloo include kayaking directly from campsites. "Able to kayak right from campsite. Campground has over 100 sites. None of the lake front were bad," reports Liz H. Rental equipment is available seasonally at park offices with hourly rates starting at $15.
Riverside camping experiences: Tallulah Gorge River Campground offers sites directly on the water. "Loved Tallulah Gorge campground. We had a spot right on the river. Full hookups. Clean bathrooms and showers. Incredible river to fish and swim in," says Sarah R. The riverside sites include covered tent platforms to help manage rain.
Lakefront sites: Tugaloo State Park provides waterfront camping with easy access. "Most campsites have views of the lake and access directly to the stoney beaches. Lots of mature trees make shade an easily accessible feature," writes Maggie G. Sites include water, power and multiple grey water dumps throughout the camping area.
Diverse accommodation options: Luxury glamping near Toccoa Falls ranges from cabins to yurts. "We stayed in a cabin at Unicoi State Park after our Spring Break camping trip got rained out. The fireplace was nice and we appreciated the covered parking during the downpour when arrived," explains Dana B. Yurt options include heating and cooling systems for year-round comfort.
Seasonal weather considerations: Summer temperatures in the mountains can still reach 90°F but typically cool significantly at night. "We camped in our trusty pop up camper so direct sun is always an issue (non-insulated bunk ends) but a travel trailer/RV would probably fare well (as far as temp goes)," observes George & Patty C. at Don Carter State Park.
Limited cell service: Most campgrounds in the area have minimal to no cellular connectivity. "The area very serene, quiet and pretty. Nice hiking area and swimming area. If you need to get ahold of someone though you'll have to drive 10 to 15 minutes into town," explains Ashley S. about Oconee State Park.
