We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our site was very nice and well maintained. We enjoyed sitting next to the creek while drinking our morning coffee. The bathrooms were extremely clean as well. We enjoyed the scenery at the park and the surrounding area. The quaint town of Clayton is a short drive and a great place to spend an afternoon.

We were in a 40 foot motorhome towing a suburban and were able to snag site 69 which was plenty big. Followed the recommendation for large vehicles or those towing to come in from the west via seed lake road. I recommend disconnect/reconnect the towed vehicle at the big gravel parking lot at Nacoohchee hydro plant on the way in/out. We did make it into the campground entrance but just barely. Loved the campground and as others have mentioned there is no cell signal but was perfect for our getaway. Want to go back and explore the area more.

Nice campground with a waterfall in the campground to hike. Lots of great hiking and waterfalls close by. The town of Clayton is 20 minutes away with excellent restaurants. This was our third trip to Lake Rabun and will be going back.

Very narrow and twisty road coming from US 23 near Tallula Falls. Trust The forest service recommendation to come down from US 76 via Clayton. If coming north from Atlanta exit US 23 on GA 197 at Clarkesville. After about 20 miles turn right on Burton Dam road. The drive is worth it. Large spread out campground with many electric and water sites and many without. Dump station on site. Site 53 is nice with a small cascading waterfall just behind it. Only issue is the angel falls trail runs beside the site. Site 51 has no water or power but you can’t see another camps

One of the cleanest sites I've ever stayed at. The grounds management were extremely nice and they always made sure we didn't need anything. The showers and bathrooms we're damn near spotless. Even with an almost full site, they stayed really clean, which was pleasant. Make sure you bring firewood or get some before turning on the main road which leads to the grounds... If not, it's about 20-25 mins to the house which has tons of wood for sale. (It's by the gas station heading back towards Helen.) We plan on coming back for sure!
