Special Weather Statement issued April 12 at 1:04PM EDT by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC
Relative humidity values are on track to fall below 30 percent again this afternoon as winds pick up from the south. Given the dry vegetation, outdoor fires will be able to spread quickly once started. Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether you can burn today. If you do burn, use extreme caution as fires can quickly get out of hand under these conditions.
About
Wildcat Campground #2 is a developed tent-only campground located deep in the North Georgia Mountains west of Lake Burton along the headwaters of Wildcat Creek. The campground offers a pristine mountain setting where the seasonally stocked rainbow trout creek flows directly adjacent to campsites, creating an astounding natural environment. On clear nights, the stars appear exceptionally vivid due to the remote location. The campground is accessed via a winding mountain road that is not suitable for trailers or RVs, ensuring a secluded experience for tent campers seeking solitude in the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest. The remote location requires self-sufficiency as there are no restrooms or potable water available on-site. Campers must bring all necessary supplies including water. The campground operates on a self-service fee system with a maximum 14-day stay limit within any 30-day period. When open, the nightly fee is $10 per site, with a 50% discount available to holders of Interagency Senior and Access Passes. A Georgia fishing license and trout stamp are required for fishing in Wildcat Creek.
