He will open the second gate for you where you will be able to drive through and park at your site - weather permitting. To the left of the first gate is the community area with toilet, grills, picnic tables, etc. Remember, your phone might not work near the river. If you need help, you might have to go back up to the road to call us. George (the owner) is there most every day and all day. For help contact Gini or George Ferris 404-431-2564 or 727-204-3932.
There's so much fun waiting for you to explore! Tubes are available for a $5 charge per day. If you're feeling extra adventurous, there are rope swings that let you swing over the river, and there are super cool places to splash around and swim, part of which, is in the Indian Fish Trap.
When your tummy starts rumbling, don't worry. We've got you covered with grills in the community area where you can cook delicious food. So you can have a tasty meal with the sound of the river flowing in the background. Also we are within 5-10 minutes to stores, restaurant , etc.
But wait, there's more excitement! If you're looking for an even bigger adventure, this is the perfect spot to begin an awesome kayaking trip if you brought your kayak. Castleberry Bridge is where people from all over the country come to experience going through the Miner's Tunnel.
( https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=jW3ESWCNdLA ) This 4 hour trip and is an experience of a life time you will never forget.
So whether you want to float, swing, swim, or paddle, Castleberry Bridge is the place to be for all kinds of outdoor fun!

I have been an equestrian for 40+ years and horses are my passion. Recently purchased this beautiful , peaceful property in 2017 and have had to think outside the box to continue to care for my wonderful animals as when I moved from urban environment to rural , my income has been challenging to teach enough horseback lessons to survive and discovered Hipcamp!
This made me consider sharing this wonderful place. We have a White Dog Farm fan page :Facebook, Instagram: WHITE.DOG.FARM , can show our horse activities and more photos.

Porterdale, GA · 2 sites · Tents, Lodging
Secluded campsites near Snapping Shoals Creek, our fully furnished campsites come complete with a hot shower, clean bathroom, picnic tables, trash cans, a grill, and complimentary firewood.
The road in is narrow and can become muddy after rain, making it best suited for small 4x4 vehicles. If you need assistance, we have a tractor and trailer available to transport you to and from the campsites.
We also have a treehouse situated high above the creek, uniquely built so you don't have any stairs to climb, even though the back porch sits 25 feet above the water. The treehouse is primitive but cozy.
It is equipped with a wood-burning stove for cold nights, and during the summer, an air conditioner can be provided.

There are 3 treehouses present on these 5 acres of land tucked into the National Forest. A stream runs past 2 of the treehouses down to a pasture with a small assortment of animals. The property includes friendly, free roaming, outdoor cats that will likely keep you company during your stay. Do note there are dogs at the main cabin. While on your glamping trip, there are several places nearby to hiking, fishing, swimming, and if you're brave enough, even biking the ups and downs of the mountain roads.
Parking, as well as a bathroom with running water and electricity, are at the main cabin, which is a short walk from the treehouse.

Please note the following:
✅ A firepit with a grate is available at the property and can be used with wood or charcoal.
✅ The outdoor kitchen area allows for simple, camp-style meals.
✅ There is wifi in the treehouse.
🌲🌲🌲You should probably avoid treehouses if you…🌳🌳🌳
1️⃣. Don’t enjoy temps outside the normal range you would keep in your home.
2️⃣. Don’t like walking back into the woods to enjoy your treehouse.
3️⃣. Don’t want to walk to your private locked bathroom a short walk away.
4️⃣. Don’t like the idea that creatures sometimes sneak inside the treehouse, as it is not completely sealed.
🌻🌳🌻The treehouse also features an outdoor kitchen space for you to prepare meals. In addition to the outdoor kitchen, the firepit has a grate on it and there is also a charcoal grill, allowing you to use charcoal or wood to grill. Please note we do not provide utensils, pots, pans, or a burner. The treehouse cannot support a hot plate. 🌻🌳🌻
⛔️ We do not supply cooking utensils, pots, pans, or other kitchenware. Please bring your own.
⛔️ We do not provide a burner. You will need to bring your own method of cooking if you have something that needs more attention than the grill or firepit grate can provide.
⛔️ We do not provide charcoal or firewood for the grill or firepit. You will need to buy on your way to the property.
⛔️ Drinking water is not supplied, please bring your own.
⛔️ There is no running water in the treehouse.

Weekend Trip to Herzen Platz (a place in the Heart)
Our stay with Gary was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcome and at home. Gary is truly one of the kindest, most genuine hosts we’ve ever met. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed while still giving us plenty of privacy to enjoy our getaway.
The campsite felt like our own private oasis. The peaceful setting was exactly what we needed to escape and relax. One of our favorite parts was listening to the creek nearby. The sound of the flowing water was so calming and made the whole experience feel even more special.
Breakfast was amazing! I had the BLT quiche, and my husband had the camper-style skillet. Both were absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. It was the perfect way to start the day and easily one of the highlights of our stay.
Even the outdoor shower exceeded our expectations. The water pressure was fantastic, especially for an outdoor shower, and the temperature was always perfect. It was such a refreshing experience and showed how much thought has gone into making guests comfortable.
Every detail reflected the care Gary puts into hosting. We left feeling refreshed, relaxed, and already planning our next visit. We can’t wait to come back in the winter and experience the property in a different season. Thank you, Gary, for your kindness, hospitality, and for creating such a wonderful place. We highly recommend this Hipcamp to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable getaway!

This is a piece of paradise, with a stream running right by the campsite, all you can hear is the water running by you and setting you up for the ultimate relaxing experience. Gary (the host) has thought of everything you need and has an immediate response if you have any questions or need any help with anything. His two little dogs are great and super welcoming and friendly. The location is super convenient to Helen and surrounding areas and all they have to offer. I highly recommend a visit and stay here if you havent!

Weekend Trip to Herzen Platz (a place in the Heart)
This is a beautiful spot, even in the rain. We booked last minute as an anniversary getaway and a need to reconnect with nature. Gary is excellent, walking you through everything he has set up for you when you arrive. We loved the little trail that followed the stream, and the area near the tire swing. He also told us about a nature trail across the street.
Breakfast is AMAZING and so worth it. I had the quiche and my husband had the skillet. It is so nice after spending a night in a tent to wake up knowing you don’t have to make breakfast!

This was my favorite campsite I’ve ever been to! George and Gini were very nice and accommodating. Our campsite was right on the river. It was a beautiful view. There was nobody else camping when we went, so we had the whole place to ourselves! Endless firewood was provided, the wood was already set up, and George gave us a torch to light it (because it was raining), firestarter, and lighter fluid. Trash cans were accessible everywhere and there were port a potties a little ways down. You can tube down the water for $10 and the water is extremely clean. There’s lot of fun little easter eggs you will spot as you explore the campground. The instructions are clear on how to get there.
