Chickamauga Battlefield Group Campground

About

Located within the historic Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park in northwest Georgia, this group campground serves organized non-profit youth groups for educational overnight stays focused on battlefield history. This is not a public campground; recreational-only camping is not permitted, and unauthorized reservations may be canceled. The campground features nine flat, tree-sheltered tent sites in a hardwood deciduous forest setting. Each site includes a fire ring with grill, picnic table, and lantern pole. Potable water spigots are available at sites 1, 3, and 4, while vault toilets are centrally located between sites 3 and 4. An amphitheater is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center is approximately 1.5 miles by vehicle or 0.45 miles on foot, offering museum exhibits on the Battle of Chickamauga. Groups can request ranger-led tours and activities, and scouts can earn badges by completing designated hike routes along the park's 50 miles of trails.
