Had a great time in cabin #2. This is a rustic cabin next to a stream. Waze GPS got us right to camp site. Tom the camp host greeted us shortly after we arrived and was so helpful on tips to keep cabin cozy. He also gave us a map and excellent directions to Dupont Forest. Camp restrooms/showers are a short walk from cabin. Port a potty even closer than restrooms. Camp ground has a good vibe. Front door didn't lock. Smore kit for extra fee was awesome, also some assorted snacks available. There is a small store nearby to get basics. No phone or internet service available at campground. Relax and unplug!

Weekend Trip to At the Ridge Camp-Riverside Escapes
A great place on the river. The bed was broken and not comfortable at all. It does not have a k cup just a regular coffee pot. Bring coffee filters and not k cups. There is 2 pieces of wood going on to the deck that was rotten and I almost fell through. We only seen one porta potty for about 15 sites.

1 night at Mountaintop Fantasy
This a very unique and cozy treehouse cabin in a beautiful location, right by Lake Glenville. It is a comfortable space with lots of amenities for a fun weekend in the mountains, and feels very secluded surrounded by woods and at a high elevation. Despite being there in rainy weather, it was beautiful with all the fall foliage! And Peter is a very friendly and welcoming host. I would certainly recommend a visit!

I got this cabin for my birthday and it was the perfect size for me and my friends. It’s in a beautiful spot near the parkway and has tons of hiking/waterfall options nearby. The campfire crackling by the creek was so soothing! Not to mention the stars at night…

We loved our stay at the Magical Resorts Groundskeeper Cabin! Mary truly thought of every detail when designing and decorating each space. The beautiful stained glass, cozy bedding, fire torches, and even the dishes made us feel like we were actually in Hagrid’s cabin!
Even if you’re not a Harry Potter fan, the cabin is simply beautiful and so thoughtfully done. We have two younger children who absolutely loved it—they spent hours on the swings and the play area by the water and enjoyed feeding and petting the animals.
One evening we visited downtown Haynesville and had a great meal at a local restaurant. We probably could have spent more time exploring the town, but we just loved relaxing in nature.
Mary was so kind and quick to respond to all of my messages. We will definitely be back!

The attention to detail was amazing. From the decorations to the fresh smell linens. Mrs. Shannon and Mrs. Amy were very nice and made sure we had everything we needed. Petting the animals was an great experience. Especially the Polynesian Cavies! We had an awesome time and will be back!

We had such a great time at the treehouse! The view is absolutely stunning; none of the pictures do it justice. We visited during peak leaf season, and it was beautiful. The location is perfectly secluded and private, yet close enough to enjoy all the attractions in Highlands and Cashiers if you want to explore.
We went with three adults and three kids (2, 4 & 5) and the cabin had plenty of space for everyone. Our first night there was much colder than what we were used to coming from home, but the space heaters kept us nice and toasty! Most of our time was spent around the fire and on the swings. The treehouse was stocked with more utensils and appliances than we could have ever needed, and it was such a treat to have a flushing toilet and hot water.
The highlight for our kids, though, was the hosts’ adorable puppy, Molly! She hung out with us most of the time and completely stole our hearts (and a couple shoes) but we loved every second of it. The kids were so sad to leave her when it was time to go.
The host was wonderful. He checked in frequently and was always available when we had questions, but never overbearing. He left us fresh eggs when we arrived and even had firewood available for purchase when we realized we’d forgotten ours. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 10/10 recommend this magical spot!

Such a great experience! The cottages were super cute, the property was peaceful, and we loved the animals and the little fairy village—it added so much charm. The hammock area was a really fun and relaxing touch.
The host was kind, thoughtful, and very understanding when we had to leave earlier than planned. Everything was clean and cozy, and we truly enjoyed our time there.
If I could make a small suggestion, it would be to add a few towel hooks for after showers and maybe clean the AC units or consider fans for better airflow. Other than that, everything was perfect—we’d happily stay again!

I really enjoyed my stay here! The campground is quiet, peaceful, and has a unique charm that makes it feel special. The rental was well stocked. Also, the owner was friendly and welcoming, which added to the great experience.
The only thing I’d mention is that the air conditioning unit could use some cleaning or maybe an upgrade, and having a ceiling fan or two would really help with air circulation. Other than that, everything was great — I’d definitely stay here again!

Second visit, different cabin. Perfect spot and the cabin is so darn cute! Definitely will be back woth my preschool aged granddaughter. I saw several small children having the best time catching crawdads and fishing in the shallow waters:
Seen several other solo females in cabins as well, probably because the feeling of security nicely coupled with the nature that draws people to the area. Definitely one of my top recommendations for solo females.
And I travel with my lab. The campground is dog friendly, as are cabins. Unlike other places with accommodations, there was no evidence of previous dogs in the cabin, especially not the ‘smell’ that often comes from dogs inside . The cleaning is done well enough to prevent any dog smell or hair from previous pups from hanging around for my visit. Take your well behaved dogs or children, and enjoy this special place.

The best family-friendly glamping near Tallulah Falls guide
Where to go
Rabun County
North of Tallulah Falls, the mountains Rabun County affords plenty of options for hikers. Head to Lake Rabun just outside of town, check into a campground on the shore of Lake Burton, or see the waterfalls at Moccasin Creek State Park. For mountain hikes, you can’t go wrong at Black Rock Mountain State Park, Georgia’s highest state park, where you can drive your RV up into the hills or rent a mountaintop cottage.
Habersham County
In the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and dotted with small towns, Habersham County stretches south of Tallulah Falls. Go canoeing, kayaking, and fly fishing along the Chattahoochee and Soque rivers, or try hiking and backcountry camping along part of the Appalachian Trail. Further south, Lake Russell has hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails, while Don Carter State Park sports a lakeside campground and cabin rentals.
South Carolina
Tallulah Falls sits right on the border of Georgia and South Carolina, making it easy to hop over state lines. On the border, Lake Tugalo is a popular spot for boating and fishing, but if you prefer your water sports with a dose of adrenaline, you could try whitewater rafting along the Chattooga River instead. Also within reach are the many campgrounds of Lake Keowee and Lake Hartwell, and the mountain trails and cabins of Oconee State Park.
When to go
The state park and campgrounds are open year-round, but the best weather for hiking and camping is in the cooler months of spring and fall (March to June or September to November), as summers can be sweltering in Georgia. Leaf-peepers should time their trip for fall when the forested gorges serve up some of the state’s best fall foliage views.
Know before you go
- Tallulah Falls has a general store and a couple of restaurants and cafés, while the closest gas stations are along Highway 23, a short drive from town.
- Both a daily parking fee and camping reservation fees apply at Tallulah Gorge State Park. A free, first-come, first-served permit is required to access the gorge floor and is available from the Jane Hurt Yarn Interpretive Center. Numbers are limited, so arrive early, especially on weekends and holidays.
- Permitted backcountry camping is possible only at designated sites within the park.
