Desoto Falls is a beautiful campsite in the woods with a stream flowing through. We love it as a lazy camp trip with fun cooking and chilling at the camp fire.

It was a great camp ground. There was some road noise but our site was by the water so it wasn't too bad. We enjoyed it. The hike to the waterfalls was nice. It's in a good area for other hikes, you can visit Blood Mountain, Lake Winfield Scott or Brasstown Bald.

Great location. SUPER clean. A bit close to the road if you have one of the lower ring campsites, but it's worth it for the nature and the views around.

The campsite I originally was site 10. It was a horrible site and did not fit my needs as a car camper. The parking area was up the stairs and there was no way for me to back to my tent. Fortunately, there were several other vacant sites. I quickly drove back down the mountain and reserved a better site. Site 16 backed up to the creek and I fell asleep to the sound of rushing water. I'll definitely book site 16 again!

Such a beautiful place and quiet. If you're looking for something that inst super populated, that is clean, beautiful, and has nice camping pads you're in for a treat!

It was a beautiful spot! Camp Host was the sweetest person and helpful. The bathrooms were well-kept! The site is lovely with waterfalls accessible and the creek even so.

It was easy to find the campground and it's right off the highway {but the road noise isn't bad}. The campsites are beautiful, clean, and nicely spaced out. There's water and a toilet fairly close to all of the sites. We really enjoyed the direct access to the DeSoto Falls trails from the campground. We would definitely return!

Have been camping at DeSota for over 50 yrs. We love the campground but the bathrooms on Loop B are terrible. You can smell them from all the campsites.
