Park roads were in disrepair. The appearance at the camp host place looked poorly. I would think they should set the example.

We had a wonderful time! The campground was clean, bathrooms were exceptionally clean and the hosts were very nice and friendly. There was even a basketball goal and ball for kids. Great to hike right out of the campground without having to drive anywhere. The lake was beautiful and when warmer would be fun to swim in! It was a great trip and we will definitely be back!

Lake Rabun is a beautiful place to stay. Have been going there for years (since I was about 5). Peace & quiet in spring, summer & fall. Campfire always feels good @ night. Clean bathrooms with hot showers if you need. Lake Is beautiful with a beach & swimming; boat ramp for those who need it. Just a short drive to Helen, Clayton, scenic water falls.

right next to the trailhead for panther and angel falls. Clean bathrooms, nice level campsites, great camp hosts.

We really enjoyed out time at Rabun Beach. The campground was not full, so the sited next to us were unoccupied. This made for a less crowded experience. We did have neighbors with 3 little boys who kept visiting to see out dog. We enjoyed them! We hiked to Angel Falls and really enjoyed it. It was beautiful!

I really enjoyed staying at this campground. The camp sites are private and well kept. I believe all sites have electricity and water. Some sites are harder to get into with a camper, we used a tent so no issue. Angel falls and panther falls trails are part of the campground. The beach is great! Great for kids to play in. Bathrooms were fine, hot water works, lots of spiders but that’s to be expected this time of year. My kids (2 and 4 years old) asked if we could stay there forever so obviously it was a big hit for them.
