The Tate Branch Campground was a great middle of the week campground. The camp sites were clean and sit right on the Tallulah River. The pit toilets are fairly new (only a year or two old). Each one (there are 3) was very clean and well kept. I will definitely be back.

The campground was very clean, and the bathrooms were extremely nice. I love the location, and it's nestled far off the beaten path. No cell phone service, which is a definite plus when you want to escape the white noise of the default world and take a digital break. I highly recommend it.

Restrooms were stinky and needed to be cleaned better. People need to learn were to park and not on the side of the road up by Charlie’s creek blocking biggest part of the road so people can’t get by hardly at all. Need to fix potholes on the dirt road

I booked at this campsite for the 4th of July weekend only because it was the last one left. I am glad I did. The site was perfect for us. The site was in great condition and the tent pad was flat. Although you do not get to park directly at the site the walk is a very short walk. We had a perfect 4th at this site and the drive had many beautiful view on the way.
