Chau Ram park is located at the confluence of Ramsey Creek and the Chauga River and is Oconee County’s “Best Kept Secret.” Visitors can enjoy 26 campsites, ready with water and electricity, over three miles of hiking trails and over a mile of the Chauga River running through the park with rapids such as the pumphouse rapids, can-opener and the V rapid. The main attractions of the park include a handicap accessible 40 foot waterfall cascading over large boulders as the Ramsey Creek flows into the Chauga River and a 160 foot suspension bridge spanning the Chauga River. Tubing, hiking, fishing, picnicking, camping and sight- seeing are routine activities enjoyed by visitors. The park also includes four rental areas for larger parties and gatherings, a new playground area, and is a favorite site for weddings.

Chau Ram County Park

The best thing about this campground to me is that it has a nice spot for my son to splash in the water and a nice playground as well. The facilities are clean enough, but there's nothing especially remarkable about this place to me.

Pretty ok

We loved bed it here and plan to go back soon! The spots are large, there are gorgeous hiking trails, waterfalls and rapids, and an area you can swim/tube in the river at your own risk of course. Great playground and plenty of space to walk/hike/bike. The only downfall is that the campground is built on a hill so the walk to the campsites is a bit tough if you have a spot up the hill. 

wonderful! 

getting into site was very difficult due to angle. once in we loved the park. excellent views while hiking. very well kept. park ranger and neighbors were extreamly nice. would be 5 stars if easier to get into site

small gem of a park

This is a quiet campground. Every site except about 4 are on a hill. The sites are flat but it’s a hill to get to them. There are a lot of waterfalls in the area and a lot to do. The park has its very own waterfall. The park itself is very nice. There is no code to get out at night and the gates close at 8. Beautiful area! 

Hills

We stayed for 10 days with our 37 ft travel trailer. There's only 3 sites that could realistically handle this size or larger. No sewer hook ups, but thats not an issue for us. The rangers kept the bathhouse immaculate. They take such great care of the whole park! If we get back out this way, we will definitely be back! 

Great County Park

Beautiful kid and pet friendly campground. Waterfalls, hikes and free fishing gear available. Non dispersed campsites. Quiet neighbors. We could hear the water current at our site. Site 17 is spacious. We fit 2 vehicles, 20x10 tent and another 4person tent along with chairs inflatable couch and all that with plenty of room to move around. All the staff are extremely friendly and helpful! Clean bathrooms. The hooks for your belongings are out side of the shower. Different but manageable.
