The campsites were nice. We have an RV, so didn't need to use the bathrooms/showers, so cannot rate them. Some of the horse trails were in poor condition and the signage was confusing at best. I was lost for several hours, ended up having to take Warwoman Road back to the Willis Knob camp road. With no cell service, it was impossible to let others at campsite know. Our group had a great time.

Rain stopped and sun came out. Upper loop equestrian camp sites were just perfect for our group. Lots of mountain laurel blooming on trails above the river. A wonderful place for a weekend camp ride.

Great campground location to access horse trails and Trout Streams in the Warwoman Road area.

One of the trails was in very poor shape with deep washouts and where we tie the horses doesn’t drain when it rains and so we had to leave early because our horses can’t stand in water all day and night. We had fun don’t get me wrong but the safety of the horses is paramount to anything else.

We really love the layout and accommodations of this campground. Would be great to have cell service, buy Hey, we need to disconnect.

Quiet, remote campsite with electric and water hookups. Toilet (unsure if shower inside as I did not use it). Takes a little work to park rig if you have a big one (ours is 47' long) but it's possible. Twisty turny gravel road down into campsite so advise you arrive in daylight. The park's map is located in center of grounds but the map is pretty bad. Take your GPS! Once we crossed the Chattanooga River at the far end of trail, the South Carolina side of the river had GREAT maps located at trail markers. GA trail (cross river at Adline Ford) will connect to SC trail (cross back over at Earl's Ford) and make a 14 mi loop. Well worth the ride! Trails well maintained with lots of views of the river.

If you want to get away from it all it is great. Water and electric available. No sewer.
Trails are awsome and crossing the river to South Carolina was fun! Maps are not the best but signs are posted along the way.
No cell until top of the trail.

Our week-end at WKHC was great!! Some of the trails on the Ga side had trees across them ! Most could be gone around but the trails needs some major chain saw work!! Great riding and great weather!!!
