Learn more about alerts →Fall hikers and paddlers who want a clean base close to Atlanta. Site 01 is the tent camper's pick for its proximity to water, and yurt bookers get reservoir views plus the quietest sleep on the property. Firewood delivery is a genuine convenience.
Highway noise carried to the point that one reviewer called sleeping through the night impossible, and the tent sites sit close together on hard, gravelly ground. No pets allowed, no after-hours check-in, and the yurts have no AC in summer.

Fall brings the best conditions. Crisp mornings in the low 40s to 50s°F, daytime highs around 55-70°F, and reduced humidity. Weekend crowds from Atlanta pick up at trailheads and the reservoir during peak foliage. Summer reaches 70-88°F, suitable for water activities but better tackled early morning. Winter averages 37-53°F with bare trees, while spring hovers around 52-68°F as wildflowers and azaleas bloom. Biting insects drop off after October.
Fall cited as best season: cool temps, reduced humidity and excellent hiking conditions.
