About

Tallulah River Campground is a streamside destination in the Chattahoochee National Forest, nestled at 2,080 feet elevation along the banks of the Tallulah River in Rabun County, Georgia. The campground offers 17 standard nonelectric campsites suitable for tents, trailers up to 40 feet, and vehicles up to 45 feet. Each site includes a fire ring, picnic table, and lantern post. Vault toilets with interior lighting and drinking water are available on-site. Fishing is the primary draw here, as the Tallulah River is routinely stocked with Rainbow Trout by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. A Georgia fishing license and trout stamp are required. An annual Kid's Fishing Rodeo is held at the campground in June. For hikers, the Coleman River Trail is located just 0.03 miles from the campground entrance, offering a 1.1-mile in-and-out trail along the Coleman River. Nearby attractions include Tallulah Gorge State Park, the Southern Nantahala Wilderness with Beech Creek and Buck Creek trails accessible via Tallulah River Road through Tate City, and the Chattooga Wild and Scenic River for whitewater activities. The alpine village of Helen is within an hour's drive.

Take U.S. 76 west from Clayton for 8 miles. Turn right (north) on Persimmon Road for 5 miles. Turn left (northwest) on Tallulah River Road (Forest Service Road 70) for 1 mile to the campground entrance.
