Trackrock Campground & Cabins maintains on-site stables and dedicated equestrian trails, making it a primary horse camping destination in northern Georgia. The property includes a fishing lake, basketball court, and game room adjacent to horse facilities. Sites offer water and electric hookups with both 30 and 50-amp service, fire rings, and picnic tables. The campground accommodates tents, RVs, and offers cabin rentals for those who prefer not to camp. Beautifully well maintained grounds provide both open spaces and private camping areas tucked away among trees. The bathhouse facilities include hot water showers, though some campers note the steep, unlevel roads can present challenges for large fifth-wheel trailers.
The equestrian trail system connects riders to multiple routes suitable for various skill levels throughout the surrounding Chattahoochee National Forest. Horse owners find direct access to trails from the property, eliminating the need to trailer horses between camp and riding areas. Water crossings are available on several trails, providing natural drinking spots for horses during rides. Additional equestrian amenities include manure disposal areas and wash racks for cleaning horses after trail rides. The campground's proximity to Blairsville offers convenient access to feed stores and veterinary services if needed. The Georgia mountain setting provides year-round riding opportunities, though spring and fall offer the most comfortable temperatures and best trail conditions for horse camping excursions.

GuideWell, another review from Hank and I about three weeks ago in October we stayed at McIntosh reserve in Whitesburg Georgia. We stayed for a week. They have no power, but we have a solar generator and a regular generator they have water Spicket spread out sporadically throughout the park, they do have restrooms and a shower house. Very nice park. Very nice host.
GuideWe went over the Halloween weekend. What great fun. Lots of events for families and kids. Even us retired people got into the spirit! Sites were well maintained with space between sites. Bathrooms were clean all the time. Cell service was at best 2 bars on all networks. But that’s okay. Fall colors were abundant. If you had a small boat, canoe or kayak the lake is perfect for fishing or just enjoying. The only drawback was some road noise from Fairplay road. Otherwise I can’t say enough of how much we liked this park. Site 16 October.
GuideGreat campground. Is head over 280 sites horses, barn, lakes, water, fountain, fishing, livestock goats donkeys find the campground using Google maps excellence place to stop for the night. Even the squirrels need to drink at sites.
ScoutGood spot. A lot of activities for kids. Easy access to Perry and 75
TravelerWe are traveling from Tampa, Florida to North Carolina, which is a 5 Hour Dr. it’s a great place to stop off for the night as a matter fact that would probably stay longer next time.We are in Lot 57 which is right on a little pond lotta shaded areas, great dog park. Also a barn with horses and petting zoo
ScoutWhen we got there, another family was in our space. They said the one they reserved was overgrown with brush (a few were). We tried to call to have it resolved but no one to call. We ended up having to pick another site that was empty. That portion was very stressful after a long drive to get there. Experience was okay, the water is down a good bit right now.
TravelerStayed at this park for the second time. Both were great experiences. Staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Camp store has reasonable prices and propane is available on site.
ScoutSite is a good size located on the shore of Lake Delano under trees. Great view. Fire ring and picnic table equipped. The temp is still hot and humid but there is a breeze which makes it bearable in the daytime, nights are cooler and comfortable. Plenty to explore with Pine Mountain Trail close by. Would stay here again. This site is water and electric only with dump station at entrance.
RangerOur overnight visit was peaceful and uneventful. While there was no one else there, the area was well maintained and did see a couple of cars and a Sheriff's Officer dive by during our stay.
There were bathrooms and a cleaning station for hunters but the weather was bad (rain) so we chose to use the facilities in our trailer.
Our tow vehicle is a RAM 4x4 and we tow a small 21 foot travel trailer and found the access road a challenge in some spots. Much of the road is sugar sand and in a couple of spots found the truck and trailer swerving in the loose road.
Other than that I the site was quiet and felt safe.
It is recommended that you verify that it is not an active hunt season and be aware of the potential for hunters.
