Upper Chattahoochee River Campground
Upper Chattahoochee River Campground
This 19-site developed campground sits near the headwaters of the Chattahoochee River and serves as a gateway for fishing and hiking, with a short walking trail to Horse Trough Falls just a mile downstream.
Basic amenities include picnic tables, fire rings, and portable toilets at each site, though there is no potable water or electric hookups; the campground is reservation-only and accessible via a scenic 5-mile gravel forest road from Helen, Georgia.
The surrounding Chattahoochee Wildlife Management Area and Mark Trail Wilderness offer additional recreational opportunities including hunting and access to the Appalachian Trail.
