Large campsite next to the creek. Campground was well maintained.

I travel to GA for hiking about every other month and I use this same campground every visit. It is always very clean, never had an issue with any of the campers, perfect distance between all of the neighboring cities, and listening to the waterfall to fall asleep after a long hike is absolutely wonderful.

Cannot give much of a review as we camped here in December with water and bathrooms closed down for the season and no staff but other than that is was a great stay and quiet with only a few other campers here. Any site on B loop and closest to the creek is nice as it drowns out any noise from the road- If you are in an RV you really don't hear the noise. Nice little campground but can be tight if you have a bigger rig but doable.

Nice campground. Sites by the creek are much nicer. Larger, easier to back a camper into, more level, and further from the road (which is noisy). Great location at the base of blood mt. Easy and worthwhile hiking trails from the campsite. “Reservation fee” is a bit nickel and dime ish but the off season rates even it out. Will be coming back.

We thoroughly enjoyed the campsite with our teardrop. It is a large space and the neighbors were not too close. Although it is quite dry this year, there was still a tranquil stream running for us to enjoy by the campsite. We look forward to coming back!

DeSoto Falls is a beautiful area with a couple of short hikes. The campsite is well maintained. someone even blew all the leaves off the campsite before we arrived. The road is close to the campsites and you hear road noise at all hours of the night.

Campsites all in good shape, road culverts newly replaced. Pleased to see a shower added to the back of the bathhouse, with warm water. Bathhouse is worn out, and I imagine will be replaced before long

Very nice campground. The shower was a bit primative but very warm. Hiking in the Chattahoochee National Forest during peak fall colors was excellent.

Great campground. Only complaint is the highway noise all hours of the day and night. Well maintained and nice trails nearby.
