Chattahoochee National Forest's free hike-in sites are few, and Persimmon Falls Campground is one worth noting. Set along a trail in Rabun Gap, this small US Forest Service site sits close to a swimming hole and waterfall, with additional swimming spots accessible further up the trail. It's free. Drinking water is available on-site, campfires are permitted, and pets are welcome. Campers interested in campsites near Rabun Gap will find Soggy Boot Campground just up the road, offering a nearby alternative for groups that need more space.
