Rabun Beach Recreation Area

About

Nestled in the North Georgia Mountains overlooking Lake Rabun, this USFS campground offers a mix of standard and electric sites across two loops. Loop 1 contains 45 standard sites while Loop 2 provides 37 sites with water spigots and electric hookups (30 or 50 amp). Every site includes a picnic table, fire grill, lantern post, and tent pad. A group camping area with five individual sites is also available. The recreation area provides excellent lake access with a boat ramp, roped swimming area, and fishing pier. Lake Rabun spans 835 acres and is popular for boating and waterskiing. Hot water showers and flush restrooms serve the campground, and a dump station is available for RVs. Firewood can be purchased on-site from camp hosts. The Angel Falls and Panther Falls Trail begins at the campground, offering a 1.7-mile hike to scenic waterfalls. The campground enforces a 14-day stay limit per 30-day period, and generators are restricted to 4 hours daily between 6 AM and 10 PM. Driveways are gravel with back-in access, typically 35-40 feet in length.
