800 Tallulah River Rd., Clayton, GA
Trout anglers and hikers who can arrive Thursday or early Friday will get the most out of this place. The Tallulah River is consistently praised as the best trout water in north Georgia, the Coleman River Trail leaves straight from camp, and site 10 fits two vehicles comfortably.
No potable water, no showers, and vault toilets that reviewers regularly flag as neglected during busy weekends. If full hookups or a reliable cell signal matter to your trip, this setup won't work.

Spring delivers the best conditions. Late March through May brings daytime temps around 50-75°F and cool nights in the mid-30s to low-50s. The campground reopens March 22, wildflowers bloom, and trout fishing picks up as water warms. Trails like Coleman River are in prime shape, and you'll dodge the fall foliage crowds. Summer hits 60-80°F with Georgia humidity. Autumn has the color show and crisp air. Winter sees occasional snow and solitude, but services are closed.
Spring called the best season: campground reopens March 22, wildflowers and trout stocking praised.
