Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
We have owned this property since 2005. The pond is a favorite place of ours and we would love to share it with you!! We live just up the mountain & are here for you via text if you need anything at all during your stay with us. The pond is in the middle of about a 4 acre area that is totally forested & makes a great place to get away from the madness of life & get into nature. Our street ends in a cul-de-sac, minimizing traffic in the area, but the spot is right along a street. You will be able to see & hear cars going by the site. On the other hand, it is also right along a deer path & just this morning I saw 2 does & a baby walking through the site. There is a resident hawk & a gaggle of turkeys that live in the area in addition to pileated woodpeckers & all sorts of other birds. Come check it out and please let us know if you have any questions. Learn more about this land: We would love to have you at the Pond at Dogwood Acres. Our pond is just a little pond, but it is full of life and makes for a cozy little campsite. You will be the only ones camping here. There is a long parking spot suitable for cars/SUVs/trucks and even a trailer or pop up.  There are hiking trails leading into the woods at the right side of the end of the drive. Feel free to enjoy them. We are surrounded by the Chattahoochee National Forest and here in Towns County we are 80% National Forest. Lake Chatuge is close by (less than 10 minutes) in Hiawassee has 132 miles of shoreline. The Appalachian Trail weaves all through the area and you can get to numerous access points for the AT within about 30 minutes. There are a many waterfalls throughout our area within about a 30 minute drive as well. The closest is Cupid Falls just behind Young Harris College. Fire's Creek in Hayesville is a favorite spot. Otherwise you can head towards Vogel State Park and find many more.  Head north on state road 66 heading out of Young Harris towards Warne, North Carolina. Travel almost 4 miles passing 339 and then make a right on Brasstown Lane. If you see mile marker 4 or get to Warne, you passed it. Once you turn onto Brasstown Lane it will be on the right side. Coming from North Carolina head south on 66 out of Warne and make a left onto Brasstown Lane. We are about 1 mile south of the North Carolina state line. We are somewhat in the middle of Blairsville (GA), Hiawassee (GA) and Hayeville (NC).  Not far from us is the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC and just a bit further is Murphy, NC.  34'58'45.1"N 83'52'49.7"W On a larger scale, we are right in the middle of and about 2 hours from Atlanta, Asheville and Chattanooga.

The Pond at Dogwood Acres
We ended up staying here because the national forest campground we usually go to was full. Although you are in a neighborhood, the site is very private and serene (in spring at least). Because of the trees you are only barely able to see the lights from a house across the street. It was definitely more private than a campground would be. We were worried about mosquitos due to the pond, however there were hardly any bugs and we had no problems with them! I think this must be because of the frogs and fish in the pond. The sounds of the frogs at night were our only issue. I think this is maybe a problem that would only occur in spring, but my husband could not sleep because of the frog mating calls which last throughout the night. I was able to sleep though, so it probably just depends on you. I also think outside mating season this probably isn’t an issue. We would come back, just maybe later in the Summer or the Fall! It was very relaxing and clean.

Loved this place! Very quiet neighborhood, also in a great location for hiking and spending time on Lake Chatuge. Especially loved the frog sounds at night.

Safe, easy place to car camp
This is a cute spot. The reason I have mixed feelings is because the description doesn’t describe that it is just across the street from houses. That’s awesome if you’re someone new to camping/camping solo or if you’re just looking for a safe place to camp/sleep with easy access but I was a bit thrown off by it. The host was responsive and very kind leaving a printed a very detailed list of everything nearby and S’mores! I would stay there again if that is the kind of spot I was looking for. The amphitheater and little circuit of trails is cool. Also consider mosquitos with the pond if you’re there in the summer. For the host, if you had addressed those things in the description and I had decided to stay there I’d 100% recommend! Thank you for your hospitality.
