Beautiful camping in the mountains!

Tent ·

This was a wonderful campsite! It was right on Brasstown Creek (running from nearby mountain peak - Brasstown Bald), with easy access to the creek via a short set of stairs. Laying in the middle of the rushing creek was the ultimate comfort in mid-July. The campsites were well put together, and June (our host) was very kind and accommodating. There is a tubing company (West Tubing) which operates on that creek, also run by the host. The campsites are secluded from each other and feature a beautiful view of the creek below, and plenty of shade from the trees around. We also enjoyed stopping by nearby Cupid Falls in Young Harris, GA - about a 15 minute drive away. Brasstown Bald offers a beautiful drive/hike to Georgia’s highest mountain summit, and is only about 40 minutes away. We only had the opportunity to eat at one local restaurant, but Young Harris Wings was absolutely terrific as well. There is a dollar general grocery about 5 minutes away, as well as a convenience store - gas is a little bit further out of town. The turn off of the road was slightly different than the GPS told - it is to the right side, and look for the sign with the Hipcamp logo next to a gate (also a sign saying “West Tubing Co”). I reached out for help finding it, and they called right away. We stayed for 4 nights, and I would certainly camp here again!

Site 2 - Platform on Brasstown Creek

Enjoyed the time there and fishing in the creek was great. Will say the picnic tables are not there and grass was a bit tall but for being booked the night before it was not too bad.. the showers do have good hot water and running sink.. however there were quite a few hornets/ wasps nest that made showering a bit nerving wracking, could’ve been a tad bit cleaner however for booking the night before not a big deal.. I had noticed that there was only one fire ring which was not what we had expected we did have a good time and really enjoyed it once we got settled in but I’d recommend bringing a folding table and plenty of bug spray

Property was as described and provided a restful spot where we felt our camper was quite secure when we left periodically for section hiking the AT and a quiet spot to camp when we were "in".

Absolutely beautiful campsite — well-lit, clean, and cozy with a great fire pit. The creek was wonderful to sit by, and the open sky made for incredible stargazing. Perfect spot to unwind and soak in nature.

Beautiful creek around the campsite. Was very private. Bring bug spray if your at a tent site. Other than that a beautiful property to camp at!

Wonderful, private and so serene. Easy access for a 2WD, great hosts and has everything you may need. There's an electric outlet in the tent that is so helpful if you need to charge your phone!

Camping with the love of my life

With pets ·

Very nice and quiet spot in the middle of nature. Has a beautiful creek that runs through the middle of everything and sounds so serene. The cabin we stayed at was the bloom and it was a very cozy and quaint, full furnishing including microwave, fridge, A/C / heat, and even running water. The bathhouses were super cool and very rustic with hot water. Would definitely recommend as a stay or stopping through

I love this spot! It was very peaceful out on the land.. The owner was very kind and helpful. I would recommend like a caddy or something to put toiletries in while taking a shower. Also, when you take a shower, you do have to hold the handle down. I wasn’t unable to keep the water continually running while taking a shower. Regardless, I would come back.

I loved The Bloom! Quaint quiet little cottage a little walk down a lovely mossy green magical path filled with berries, flowers, and all sorts of trees and wildlife. If you are a nature lover you will love The Bloom. I stayed for 14 days. My dog and I stayed warm and dry with all the rain during May. The drive in and out is pasturesque and safely cobbled. No nerve wracking steep drives. Plenty of walking areas and views at the top of the hill. I will come back in July when the berries are ripe, and I think in autumn would be a wonderful time to stay with all the activities they do such as a hay ride and wheat mazes. June is a lovely host. They also have wine tastings once a month. They have the west tubing company store out on the main road, great place to visit for refreshments and snacks, and to browse.

We had an amazing time this weekend! June W. is an amazing host. If you haven't stayed or went tubing here, I 1000% recommend. The tubing is calm enough for younger children, but fun enough to keep everyone coming back for more. We loved the fact that the tubes had bottoms. After floating down the river I recommend stopping into the antique store to look around and grab a bite to eat. We stayed in 'The Bloom' cabin, but she offers one more and pioneer camping. She's also have tents along the river to stay in that is perfect for that 'getting back to nature' experience. Our babies favorite part was the wheat maze. 1-4 levels of twist and turns. We will be back! Thank you again June for a rememberable and pleasent weekend.

Was a really good experience. Between tubing, the open area for kids to just run and play and the fire pit areas with the grills. We will definitely be coming back.

This was a great spot to stargaze. Big open sky, right by the flowing water that gently lulls you to sleep at night. Lots of trails on property to walk. Lovely peaceful grounds well maintained. I stayed here 2 weeks, splitting my time between open sky camping as weather permitted, and their Bloom cabin as weather turned. I will be returning to visit again :) June is a gem.

Awesome property and spot. Friendly and responsive host. Site was flat and easy to get to thanks to her written instructions. Also had restroom access and a power plug for charging phones etc. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a spot in the area.

I loved “glamping” here. The location is convenient to the folks school and Hayesville. We had a great time exploring the area.

Peaceful Escape

The Briar is so cute and I had everything I needed to camp on a rainy weekend. The rain on the roof was hypnotic. Definitely an option when nature doesn’t cooperate with camping plans.

Sweet little hut

The Briar @ Blackberry Hill is a cute, cozy little place to relax and enjoy peace and quiet! We had a few minor issues but Jane was friendly and was willing to correct them quickly. Make sure to read Jane's private message within the Hipcamp app to find the full directions to the building. Hip camp didn't notify me that I had a message and we got a little lost trying to find the location. Also, for the air condioner be sure to use the fan setting. Jane left us a nice little basket of goodies and a sweet note. I also recommend to visit the outfitters tubing location for live music and wonderful hamburgers!

Quick Getaway

With pets ·

The Briar Cabin was perfect for our spur of the moment getaway. We love to camp so we are used to bath houses and outhouses and roughing it, but sometimes don’t want to have to drag all the things that go along with camping and also like a roof and a little A/C. The Briar gave us the best of both worlds. The grounds were pretty. Loved the little walking paths cut through the meadows. And being close to the creek was very relaxing. We sat on the porch each morning and evening listening to the water. We would definitely love to come back!
