We camped all over north GA already so we opted for TN. Hands down, this was one of the nicest, cleanest, quietest spots we’ve ever been to! The space is amazing, great for groups or singles! River access is easy for younger children, spot #1-4 is where we were and I had so much fun with the littles. Husband caught native trout and brook trout with ease! They keep it clean and not a lot of traffic... We camped all over north GA already so we opted for TN. Hands down, this was one of the nicest, cleanest, quietest spots we’ve ever been to!

Do not hesitate to come here. It is our new favorite spot for camping!

Big Oak Cove was a very good camping area. Several of the sites are located right on the river. There are also several trout drop off points right up the road from the campground that can be reached by simply walking a few hundred yards to get to them. Overall the campground was very user friendly and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing weekend of fishing and fun.
