🌲🔥 5-Star Camping Experience! 🔥🌲 My family and I camped over Thanksgiving at Chattooga River Lodge Campground, and we absolutely LOVED it! We stayed at Campsite #12, which was gorgeous — spacious, right on the creek, and super close to the bathhouse. Even though it’s listed as a tent site, our small 20 ft camper fit perfectly, and we were able to hook up to power easily using a converter. 🙌... 🌲🔥 5-Star Camping Experience! 🔥🌲 My family and I camped over Thanksgiving at Chattooga River Lodge Campground, and we absolutely LOVED it!

We enjoyed the peaceful creekside trail, and the location couldn’t be better — waterfalls, Stumphouse Tunnel, Tallulah Gorge, plus the great shops and restaurants in Clayton and Dillard, GA were all just a short drive away. 🏞️🛍️🍽️ It did rain on Tuesday and brought in a cold front, but being able to order firewood and having Willey’s Tavern right on-site made the chilly weather fun and cozy. 🍻🔥 💯 Highly recommend this campground for anyone wanting a relaxing, scenic mountain getaway!

One of the best campgrounds we’ve ever stayed at! It was quiet, absolutely beautiful, and very spacious. The bathhouses were kept nice and toasty, which we really appreciated since the temperatures were in the 40s. The location is perfect, we visited a pumpkin patch just 20 minutes away and several waterfalls that were only short drives from the campground. Mat and Teresa were wonderful hosts, ve...

The location is perfect, we visited a pumpkin patch just 20 minutes away and several waterfalls that were only short drives from the campground. Mat and Teresa were wonderful hosts, very responsive by both email and text. We stayed at campsite #12, which sits right on the creek and offers plenty of space. We can’t wait to come back!

Me & my BFF of 34 years just spent 4 days at this campground with my 3 youngest kids. Hands down - THE BEST. The people there are so nice. The owner helped me and my friend with an absolute disaster of a situation without missing a beat. He is incredibly kind!!!!! The lodge is super fun- one night had a country singer that was stellar. Huge fire pit outside. Nice ambiance. The campsites are spacio... Me & my BFF of 34 years just spent 4 days at this campground with my 3 youngest kids. Hands down - THE BEST.

We are already planing a trip next year and hopefully we won’t end up being a PITA to the owner again 😂

This is our 2nd time at this campground this year. We came in March and stayed at the hike in site which was great cause you felt so isolated, without actually being too far from things.

My wife just brought me a double cheeseburger with pepper jack and jalapeño! Best burger by far! Patties were done and still pink in the middle! Soon good!
