It’s a great spot because it’s in the woods but still a short walk from the bathroom and shower. The staff is so kind and common spaces were clean.
I personally loved being near the hosts and the shower house/restroom. It was quiet, I wasn’t bothered by others. I drove to the top of the mountain to sit on the peak of Little Scaly Mountain for breakfast to enjoy the sunrise and weather. It’s was a perfect setting for me!

Nice spot. Didn’t get the opportunity to spend the night due to car issues, but area and staff were lovely.

Pavilion at The Bottom
The location of this camp is amazing, it’s less than a 10 minute drive to downtown Highlands, or to Sky Valley, Georgia…. The office at the top of the mountain, where you go to check in, has a trail leading to one of the prettiest mountain views I have ever seen in that area. The actual campsite itself, I stayed in the covered pavilion was also nice, it’s about a quarter of a mile walk from the parking area to the campsite. The campsite felt very private, and was actually quite large. I stayed there solo, with only one tent, but the site, could easily fit 3 or 4 under the pavilion. I stayed for two nights, and on my second night, I did have some type of large animal enter the campsite. I screamed and made noise, and the animal eventually went away, so if you are easily scared, I would not recommend staying here by yourself. The only thing I did not like about this campground, was the shower, it was pretty gross in my honest opinion. I showered there once, and started gagging because of the smells…… it smelt like dirty hippies, and I didn’t use it after that. I would probably stay here again, but not for more than a couple nights because there isn’t anywhere to take a clean shower. If they would build a separate shower, that was just for Hipcamp, even an outdoor one, this would be an amazing place to stay, and I would come back and stay for a whole week.
Amazing location at a very affordable rate.
This is a hidden gem. You can’t find a campsite with better amenities, location and nearby hiking trails anywhere in Appalachia. This land is a conservation easement that borders national forest, so the wildlife is very active. There are at least two hiking trailheads you can reach from the campsite on foot.
Overall amazing location and great staff. If you have any questions or concerns they will be there to help.
