We did not camp, but we did make the very short trek to Horse Trough Falls. Campground looked well kept, and we appreciated that there were port-a-potties. We actually came right after they had cleaned them, which was great to see that they're well cared for. We were in Jeep Wranglers and enjoyed the rough drive up, but we also did see a family at the campground in a minivan, so it's not impossible!
A great place in the middle of no where. The road in is a little rough but no biggie. 2 really nice waterfalls within a short walk. Pretty clean Porta potties . A nice creek too. You really don't need to leave once you get there.
Campground was closed until March for the season. But if you get a chance it's worth going to Horse Trough Falls regardless. Especially after a rain...and the Campground being closed was a treat ....absolutely no one there.
Nice getaway - you’re really way out in the forest out here. 30min of narrow gravel bumpy road, it’s true any car can manage to get down but it’s nerve wrecking 10mph and seems like forever. No cell signal when you’re out here. Be sure to come prepared camping since it’s such a long ways in and out. Campgrounds were nice, there’s a river or creek running along the campground, nice to sleep to. Portapotties available, bathrooms are locked (they’re not full size real bathrooms anyway). Be prepared to be one with nature. Stargazing is nice here - if you have a view between the trees, the stars are very bright and plentiful. Didn’t see much wildlife on this trip but could hear the birds. Pretty waterfall within walking distance. Be mindful of ticks, wear long pants and sleeves and inspect yourself before getting in tent or going home. I found a lone star tick on my shirt when I got home and may have been from wandering through the grass and wilderness out here.
I have been going to this campground for 45 years. I loved this place. Now, it has really went down. The roads are terrible with huge wash outs. Small cars and people pulling a camper, BEWARE. Port-a-johns are extremely nasty. People are littering with trash and cigarette butts. And now, the state stopped stocking the river at this campground, except for major holidays. Not all sites are handicap accessible. The state of Ga. is turning all state parks and recreational areas over to Corporate businesses to run. Ga. parks are not going to be the same anymore.
