Weekend Trip to Mulberry Gap - Camping & Van Stays

I upgraded to a tent site. It was lovely. Shaded. Private. Great amenities and lovely staff.

4 nights at Deer Valley RV Park

It was a great spot! Quiet, low-key and close to groceries, food, etc. There’s only four RV spots, and so it was real mellow, hardly even ever saw the two other people that were there at the same time as me. The sound of traffic can be heard in the distance, but it dies down at night and is not beyond what one could expect when close to all the conveniences. There are only four RV spots and their next to a few scattered houses on the same area of land so it makes you feel like you’re part of a little community, though I never really saw anybody. I would definitely stay again when I’m passing through the area.

11 nights at Deer Valley RV Park

Deer Valley RV is a hidden gem—quiet, peaceful, and the perfect spot to unwind. The grounds are well-kept and inviting, ideal for anyone looking to relax and enjoy nature. Host Bill goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome, offering friendly hospitality and helpful local tips. Whether you're staying for a night or a week, this place feels like a true escape. Highly recommended!

Weekend Trip to Deer Valley RV Park

Very new well maintained! Easy in and out. We did not even unhook our fifth wheel. Sites were quite level and like I said the infrastructure is new water, power, and sewer. No issues at all. Great place to stay for a few nights or just one. The only trick is you need to sign in through hip camp, they are a partner with Harvest host, but you cannot sign in through that app.

1 night at Castleberry Bridge

We had a great time! Unbelievable place. We're local to the area and cant wait to camp here again and again.

1 night at Deer Valley RV Park

We will definitely be back! Nice large shaded spots and conveniently located to the softball fields my daughter was playing at.

Weekend Trip to Deer Valley RV Park

Our first experience with Hipcamp was in this spacious, level site with FHU. Owner is very nice and shares recommendations for places to eat, go to church, shop, etc. It’s convenient to the softball fields in Dalton, which is why we are usually in the area. Definitely recommend.

Weekend Trip to Bramlett Farms

We loved our weekend here! Quiet and secluded but great amenities nearby, including a brand-new Kroger 2 minutes away. We would stay here again!

Weekend Trip to Starlight Haven at Weiss Lake

My wife and I took two of our kids, age 5 and 11. The two beds in the loft were perfect. We arrived on Friday and left midday on Sunday. We did not leave the property at all. It was fantastic.

Weekend Trip to Castleberry Bridge

Our family had such a great time and it is such a a beautiful place. We can't wait to come back!! 😁😁

Weekend Trip to Castleberry Bridge

We only stayed 2 nights at Campsite 2, but by the end of our trip George and Virginia felt like lifelong friends. Everything was perfect, tubing down the river was amazing(thank you George for the tubes), having s’mores by the fire, grilling hot dogs, and enjoying nature. You can tube on the river or kayak on the river right from your tent and George can help you with everything you need. The campsite alone is more than anything you could need, but George and Virginia’s hospitality is what makes this place unique and a must comeback again and visit type of place. Highly recommend!!

Weekend Trip to Castleberry Bridge

Amazing spot for a camping trip. My girlfriend, 2 dogs and myself enjoyed our time here and would definitely book again

Weekend Trip to Stone Mountain Glamping Site

This was such a great time! Kim was very accommodating and Taylor was so helpful in getting us situated. They are very nice people and are willing to take requests as well. I really appreciated Kim’s help with getting a fire started. This place is beautiful.

Weekend Trip to Castleberry Bridge

This place is a gem. Beautiful riverside campsites. Super nice folks that start your fire for you. Awesome river float available. Highly recommended.

3 nights at NW GA Farm Stay

Erin was a great host. Gave good directions and very quick to respond to emails and text messages. Excellent camp facilities. Quite and peaceful. Clean and relaxing atmosphere. You can also purchase some farm fresh eggs, cheese and a few other goodies. Would definitely would stay here again.

2 nights at Castleberry Bridge

We vacationed with our 3 poodles and had a wonderful few days. The campsites are well stocked with wood and George is a great host, we very much appreciated the torch to get the fire lit! You can tell the work and effort he has put into this campsite. The river runs alongside all the campsites and there are trash cans, first aid kits, and doggy clean up bags posted up all throughout the area. There were trails to hike and a really fun rope swing over one part of the river. Our trip was peaceful and relaxing. There is a town not ten minutes away and a dollar general just a few miles up the road if you forget something and need to make a quick trip. It feels like you are in the middle of nowhere and just surrounded by nature. We cannot wait to come back!

This place is amazing for the whole family. It truly looks like it’s out of a fairytale book. I love the trails and looking for all the tree decor, statues, and bird houses. My fiancé enjoyed axe throwing and rockhounding. Our daughter couldn’t get enough of the swing. We all, including our dogs, couldn’t stay out of the water. Brandi is helpful, kind, and quickly responsive. We’re looking forward to staying again.

1 night at Mulberry Gap - Camping & Van Stays

Beautiful facility! Cant wait to return for a longer stag

1 night at ATL OASIS RV Parking & Campgrounds

My daughter and I only stayed for a night but it was a great spot and when I am in Atlanta, I will be coming back for another stay. The host Darren was clear with his instructions with approaching the property and getting in. He was extremely helpful and responded to questions in a timely fashion. The space was quiet and secure. We enjoyed a little fire before the rain storm came rolling in. I have already recommended this spot to some fellow campers and adventurers.

14 nights at Deer Valley RV Park

Really recommend this campground it’s small and quite he has fire pits with cooking greats and picknick tables at every spot firewood conveniently there. Great shade trees really well thought of and bill is such a hones standup man. If your looking for a place you found it!

WELCOME, tent campers, RV campers and tiny house owners to WILD & FREE FARM! We provide warm hospitality, a beautiful camping environment and amenities to meet your logistical needs (bathroom access, a 30 amp and 50 amp hook-up and water hook-up). Our story..........We moved from an in-town Atlanta neighborhood to Chattahoochee Hills in 2019 in order to be closer to extended family and to immerse ourselves in nature. This leap-of-faith move has proven to be the most life-giving decision our family has ever made. We cherish this community: our rural neighbors of Chattahoochee Hills, our neighbors of Serenbe, as well as the community of wildlife that resides all around us. This is a land rich in natural and cultural history cared for by the Hearn family in recent generations and by Cherokee and Muskogee families for many generations prior. As we've been putting down roots, elders in the community have generously shared their oral history with us. Come stay a while, and if you are interested, we will share those stories with you!

7 springs

2 sites · Lodging10 acres · Dahlonega, GA

Miners Cabin: The miners cabin is located in between Dawsonville and Dahlonega Georgia in the heart of gold country. This unexpected gem has been our family’s oasis for the past 7 years and now, we are opening it up to share with others. Access to the cabin will be via our driveway and guests will not be allowed to drive directly to the cabin. There is a short 3 minute walk from parking access to the cabin. This walk is on an incline and those who may have difficulties walking up or down an incline or on uneven surfaces should consider this walk when planning your trip. Due to access limitations, we ask that you not bring more than two vehicles, We have additional parking at another property if needed but please let us know in advance. The Cabin sits on a grassy meadow a stones throw from cane branch stream. In the morning and afternoon you should expect to see or hear all types of wildlife. We have a family of raccoons that come around in the summer months and will eat just 5 foot from the porch. In the winter we have several deer that access the creekbed. The wildlife is fed often by our family and has been for the past seven years. Hummingbirds, woodpeckers, whippoorwills, crows, and even goldfish call this oasis home. At night our kids love to hunt for small crawfish in the creek with a flashlight. While bears are always something to watch for, we don’t typically see them on the property. A few miles of walking paths have been meticulously cared for and created by my father Mike. The mossy stone paths look like something out of a story book in the spring. Along the trails you will find benches and hammocks to lounge on and if you look close enough you may find some crystals that were placed for others to find from some of our many mineral digs over the years. There are two bridges that cross the stream along the paths and an old water wheel from way back that was used in the gold mining process in the creek. Vegetation on the property includes a variety of chantrell and coral mushrooms. If Mushrooming is your thing we have a good stash of chicken of the woods and if it’s fruiting you are welcome to pick it. Mountain laurels line the creek and bloom beautiful pink blossoms in the spring and summer. Cane creek branch is a quiet and beautiful stream. The water only gets about waist high at the deepest point making it perfect for kids or dogs to splash around in. Inside the cabin you will find a few gold pans if you would like to try your luck. We have found gold in the creek along with garnets and a few flashes of platinum. This property used to be the site for a long abandoned gold mine and an old metal water wheel still sits on the creek bank. The water wheel is locked but will still turn and at over 8 ft high it is a sight to see in itself. You will find a few small fish but nothing to shake a pole at. The cabin itself is nothing fancy and we like to keep it that way. It is as primitive as you would expect from the title. Only one electrical outlet is currently in the cabin. There is no running water but there is a water basin for brushing your teeth and washing small items. The bathroom is behind the cabin in a separate facility. This outhouse is unlike anything you have seen and has all of the comforts of home. Sleeping arrangements include a king size bed on a solid frame and a small sofa. You are welcome to pitch a tent or hammock outside as well. In the winter the cabin gets cold, we will provide an electric heater but you should know that it may still get cold inside. The porch looks over the creek and makes a great spot for bird watching. Amenities include a charcoal grill and a fire pit for cooking. The fire pit has several stable adirondack chairs circling it. We have a throwing board on the property however you will need to rent the throwing items from us and sign a waiver. We also have a small swing by our goldfish pond just across the creek. Things to do near us. Kayaking and tubing are just 7 miles down the road. You can rent a kayak from us or from the outfitters. We have 4 sit on top kayaks for adults 2 for children under 100 lbs and several whitewater kayaks are available for rent if you have prior experience. We also will guide you down the river as an additional service. See our price list. Our local outfitter Chestatee River Adventures is typically 30.00 for each kayak and 10.00 for tubing. The trip is 6 miles and can take anywhere from 3-5 hours depending on the water level. Please note that the outfitter is only open during the spring and summer. Our family will take you out no matter the time of year. Fishing on the Chestatee, Etowah, or lake lanier are also great activities and all can be accessed with a short 10 minute drive. Lake Zwerner is a local fishing hot spot great for grabbing a kayak or canoe and spending the day on the water. Gold Mining: Dahlonega is the gold city! Only 15 minutes away you will find Consolidated Gold Mine – Underground Gold Mine Tours. Here you can do some gold and gem mining as part of the tour. The gold museum in scenic dahlonega is close by as well.If you are looking for something more my dad offers trips and will show you the basics or can take you out for an all day dredging experience. You keep whatever you find! Hiking: The area hikes include the start of the great Appalachian (Apple-atch-an) trail. This is amicalola state park a 25 minute drive from the property.
