Tate Branch Campground (Clayton, GA)

Campground was very nice and clean. Campsites were spaced out well. About half are next to the River. The privy’s were newer and clean.

We camped here for 4 nights and 3 days it was beautiful, relaxing and quiet. There are three new toilets that were kept clean. There is a hand pump for water. There are bear proof storage containers at the site. There is no phone service.
It was perfect and I can not wait to go back!

The trip was great, but I am concerned that people might be making reservations in the prime camping spots just to lock up those spots so they can have access to them anytime they want to. There were a number of spots that I know were booked when I made my reservation, but no one ever camped in them. There needs to be some sort of control on this where if you never show up for your reservation then 1st offense you get a warning, second offense you are blocked from making a reservation for a month. Third offense you are blocked from making a reservation for a year. And on your fourth offense you are blocked from making a reservation for life.

Pros: Nice new bathroom, fantastic location next to the Tallulah River! Drive into the site on a well maintained gravel road with plenty of fishing spots.

Cons: Booked campsite 4 which was literally 20 ft away from campsite 3. Thankfully we had good neighbors, but I would recommend site 5,7, and 8 if you’re looking for more privacy. Campsite was littered with garbage, even dug trash out of the fire pit. Fire ring was really tall with not enough ventilation, made keeping a campfire alive difficult.

Overall, I would return, but not to the specific camp spot we selected. Still had a relaxing weekend despite some challenges.

Quietest most relaxing campsite I been on with my Geo Pro. Grandson had a great experience trout fishing and then cooking it for dinner. Playing in the river with his new found neighbors. Great kids and family.

I’m 59 years old and have been coming to Tallulah River (Tate branch) since I was around 5 years old. It is and always has been my favorite vacation spot. Now all 9 of my grandchildren says it’s their favorite spot as well. No complaints just compliments!
