We had spot 2. Hosts were right next door, quiet during our stay and friendly at check in. Wouldn't do this spot again as it is next to the trail head and lots of people passing by during the day. The sound of the creek was so relaxing, it's a beautiful location. Women's bathroom had no soap but plenty of toilet paper and paper towels. Never had issues with wildlife in our spot. Very poor cell service for Verizon. Only once in awhile did a bar pop up for a second then disappear. Close to Cleveland and Dahloneha for any store needs. Vogel is close if you want more activities and Blood mountain, Brasstown bald, raven cliffs all close by for better hiking trails as the DeSoto falls trails are pretty short and simple.

Host was rude and yelling. Left before first night because while trying to talk with "Doug" he was reaching back behind as to be trying to retrieve a gun or knife. I ask him if he had been drinking which infuriated him more.

Our family camping trip to DeSoto Falls was the absolute best camping trip we have ever had! The camp hosts are so very kind and keep the place looking great. The hiking trails to the upper and lower falls are very convenient to the camping sites. My family enjoyed hiking, fishing, and playing in the creek. We had no issues during our entire week long trip! We are taking another trip next month and are already so excited!

We really enjoyed the campground overall. The hikes to the waterfalls were the perfect length for kids and the grounds were clean and well-maintained. My only complaint is that there was a lot of road noise during the night as our campsite (#5) was set right along the road. I would suggest trying to book at one of the sites in the back of the campground (#14-23) to avoid the road noise.
