The host was fantastic. But the people we had above is had multiple dogs that barked continuously and at night they shown flash lights or car light into our camper for hours at a time. This was the first ever bad experience we had and I hate this because we had our grand kids with us. But I will not keep this from is coming back again. Just wish people would be more curious with there animals .

I am 74 years old and have camped at rabun beach for over 60 years but i will never camp there again as long as you have the camp hosts you have now. these idiots come in from another state and want to make us like their state they left because they couldnt stand it there. These people are rude ,overbearing and bossy . you've had 2 different camp host there this summer and both of them had different sets of rules. These last idiots said if i leave my cooler outside with drinks in it , the would confiscate (steal) it. they told me i couldnt park my pontoon boat in the place ive parked it for 15 years beside the campsite. To sum it up they are just complete jerks and dont deserve to have a job doing anything with that attitude. Youll not ever see me there again until you have some good camp hosts that know their job is to clean the bathrooms, cut the grass and take care of the wishes of the campers and not act like theyre the king boss of the place. we asked them the first day to get a boss over to talk to us and they said they would but never did. Youve really got some losers there. I know nothing will be done about this but at least i get to vent at what useless people you got there. Ray Shirley

Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
