"Reviewers overwhelmingly love Andrew's Cove Campground, consistently giving it 5-star ratings and describing it as peaceful, beautiful, and very natural. Campers highlight its primitive, no-frills setup, creekside setting, and convenient proximity to Helen, GA, as key draws. Many mention returning regularly and treating it as a favorite “getaway” spot for quiet, back-to-nature camping."

About Andrew'S Cove Campground

Tucked along the gentle waters of Andrews Creek, this intimate 10-site campground offers a serene escape in the Chattahoochee National Forest, just 15 minutes from the charming alpine village of Helen, GA. Wake to the sound of rushing water and step directly onto the 1.9-mile Andrews Cove Trail, your gateway to the legendary Appalachian Trail and a network of mountain adventures.
Developed campground offering 10 campsites (9 single, 1 double) located along Andrews Creek in the Chattahoochee National Forest. No cabins or glamping accommodations are mentioned in the facility description.
Historical SignificanceYour campsite sits within the storied Chattahoochee National Forest, a landscape that has drawn hikers, naturalists, and mountain seekers for generations. This forest has witnessed centuries of human connection to these ancient peaks, from indigenous pathways to modern trail systems, creating a living tapestry of North Georgia's wilderness heritage that continues to captivate outdoor enthusiasts from around the world.
Natural Features and SceneryAndrews Creek becomes your constant companion here, its clear mountain waters tumbling over smooth stones as you settle into the embrace of the North Georgia mountains. The forest canopy filters sunlight onto your campsite while the creek's melody provides a natural soundtrack to your stay. Beyond your tent, a wonderland of cascading waterfalls awaits discovery, and the nearby trailhead opens onto paths that wind through hardwood forests and mountain laurel thickets, eventually connecting to the iconic white blazes of the Appalachian Trail.
