This is such a haven in North Georgia. Although there are several tables that desperately need to replaced. Our site had a table with huge holes in the top and benches that pooled water from the previous days of rain. It never did dry out. The camp manager was great and kept everything clean.

Site 51 - first time at this cg. We enjoyed the area and the site. Staff were friendly and super helpful.
We chose this site due to its isolation and privacy in relation to the other sites. Ample space for equipment and enough parking for 3-4 cars if you have visitors.
This site does not have a water spigot due to its remote location in the cg but a public spigot is available by the bathrooms.
Bathrooms are clean and updated with good water pressure and temperature.
There is a small stream that is alongside the site to lull you to sleep and provides a nice cool breeze.
The only caveat to this site is there is a trail (Angel falls) that is close and elevated above this site that is not shown on the cg maps.

Beach is very small and poorly maintained.
Roads in campground are poorly maintained - some portions are nearly impassable due to cracked and broken pavement.
Campsites are difficult to navigate with a camping trailer. In order to leave my campsite to exit the campground, I had to pull up the hill, back into an empty campsite, then exit that campsite to turn down the hill. Had that site not been empty, I don't know what I could have done, since it was impossible to exit my site and turn down the hill.
Reservations are locked once started, and we were unable to modify our 4-day reservation down to 2 days, even though we needed to leave after 2 days. My attempt to cancel after 2 days also failed.
Bottom line, I feel ripped off for two days' fee $50.

Policies & Rules
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.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
