Upper Chattahoochee River Campground — Hotel in Hayesville

Nice getaway - you’re really way out in the forest out here. 30min of narrow gravel bumpy road, it’s true any car can manage to get down but it’s nerve wrecking 10mph and seems like forever. No cell signal when you’re out here. Be sure to come prepared camping since it’s such a long ways in and out. Campgrounds were nice, there’s a river or creek running along the campground, nice to sleep to. Portapotties available, bathrooms are locked (they’re not full size real bathrooms anyway). Be prepared to be one with nature.

Stargazing is nice here - if you have a view between the trees, the stars are very bright and plentiful.

Didn’t see much wildlife on this trip but could hear the birds. Pretty waterfall within walking distance. Be mindful of ticks, wear long pants and sleeves and inspect yourself before getting in tent or going home. I found a lone star tick on my shirt when I got home and may have been from wandering through the grass and...

I've loved this place since my first visit as a child nearly 40 years ago. I was heartbroken when it shut down due to tornado damage, then elated when I learned of its reopening. The maintenance, management and enforcement is very lacking though. Many of the sites lack needed amenities like tables or fire rings. The road in is very rough and needs maintenance, although I don't mind the thought of it keeping out a few people who may not be the best for the place. It's unfortunate that many of the nicer sites weren't reopened after the storm damage as well. I give it 4 stars for the location, the endless memories I've formed here, the seclusion and the endless surrounding beauty, NOT for the neglect and poor management I have witnessed over the last ten years or so. The upper Chattahoochee River is one of Georgia's most pristine places and our National Forest Service should treat it with more care and...

Anywhere in North Georgia is beautiful. I just wish people pick up their garbage after they're done camping. As they say U-Pack it in U-Pack it out because this is not your mother and father's house and they are not here to pick it up please keep that in mind. Just a friendly reminder from a concerned citizen. Thank you✌☺♻🚮✔💯 oh yeah and it's always nice to think about the campers that might be up there after you. Because believe it or not you are out in the wilderness and in the woods there are people still 👀watching👀 just to let you know wouldn't want nobody to get the ticket for littering because of something they could have done different just saying. Let's all respect mother nature and she will respect...
