We loved the secluded nature of the campground. Our site (63) was covered by trees on three sides, with only the driveway exposed. The site was also neatly kept and convenient to the bathrooms. We hardly heard or saw any other people nearby. The Angel Falls trail and Lake Rabun were within easy walking distance. The hosts, when we saw them, were friendly. I'm giving three stars because of confusion over the exact location of the site. On the app, site 63 actually shows up as being in loop 1 on the map, even though it's in loop two (and the description says loop two). Sites 60-65 are actually not on the actual loop 2, but rather on an offshoot, one way road. Even though our trailer is only 16 feet long, we had a heck of a time getting out of the campsite because there's not much space to turn around. However, we love Lake Rabun and the many things to do around here. Now having more knowledge about the logistics of the campground, we would consider coming back.

We loved our time here. The sites were relatively private and very quiet. The campground hosts and managers were helpful and kind. We originally reserved site 58, but moved across to 57 to be next to the babbling brook.

Very clean campground and nice hosts. Right across from the beach in loop 1. The bathroom facilities were always kept clean and fresh every time we went. Will definitely be back!

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
