About
Moccasin Creek State Park occupies 32 acres along Lake Burton, a 2,775-acre reservoir nestled in Georgia's Blue Ridge Mountains. The campground offers 54 campsites with electric and water hookups, picnic tables, and fire rings. Comfort stations provide flush restrooms and hot showers, and the park has a dump station and Wi-Fi available in the campground area. The park's unusually flat terrain sets it apart from other mountain campgrounds. Large RVs can navigate easily, and the accessible fishing pier on Moccasin Creek is reserved for seniors 65+, children 11 and under, and anyone with a Georgia disability fishing license. The creek is stocked with trout and does not require a fishing license for eligible users. Beyond camping, visitors can launch boats from the park's dock on Lake Burton, explore 4 miles of trails including the path to Hemlock Falls, and use the wildlife observation tower. A playground and picnic shelter round out the facilities.
Directions
From Clarkesville, head north on GA-197 for approximately 20 miles. The park entrance is on the right, just past the Lake Burton Fish Hatchery.
