About
Located within the Chattahoochee Wildlife Management Area and veiled by the Mark Trail Wilderness, Low Gap Campground is a 13-site developed campground that offers as close to a dispersed camping experience as you can get with amenities. This secluded campground is best known for its opportunities for camping, fishing, hiking, hunting, and simply enjoying the natural world.
The campground is named for Low Gap Creek that flows through the area. This creek is stocked with trout weekly from April to July by the Georgia DNR. The area provides access to scenic views and is near several waterfalls accessible via FS 44 Road. Popular nearby hiking destinations include the Appalachian Trail, Raven Cliff Falls, Dukes Creek Falls, and Anna Ruby Falls. The Chattahoochee River headwaters in the Mark Trail Wilderness also offer fishing opportunities.
Low Gap Campground is located only a few miles from Helen, Georgia, where visitors can enjoy additional activities including rafting, swimming, and exploring the alpine village. The campground sits at 1,840 feet elevation in the Chattahoochee National Forest, an area rich in history and known as a hiker's paradise with its winding trails, scenic mountains, and rolling hills.
