38mi from Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park · 2 sites · Tents, RVsShare a picnic under the covered pavilion, watch the river and enjoy time together beneath the mature oaks. Our family-owned Tallapoosa River Hideaway in Buchanan, Haralson County, Georgia welcomes one registered group at a time. Reserve a same-day visit, or bring your own tent or small RV for an overnight stay. The deck and wooded river setting give your group a place to slow down. Fishing and paddling are optional.
Fishing here is mainly wade fishing: plan on wading to reach most fishing spots. Our family usually fishes upstream and downstream when conditions allow. Fishing from the bank is possible but difficult and, in our experience, usually produces small bream. This is not an easy bank-fishing spot for a child’s first outing. Ask us about current conditions before booking if fishing is your main reason for visiting. Only enter the river when conditions and your group’s abilities allow; water depth and current change with rainfall and the season. Catches are not guaranteed.
The river is natural and unmonitored. Water level, current, mud, debris, weather, and water quality can change quickly, especially after rain. There is no designated swimming area, lifeguard, water-quality testing, shuttle, guide, watercraft rental, route monitoring, or rescue service. Guests must evaluate current conditions, directly supervise children near the water, and use properly fitted life jackets whenever appropriate.
Amenities and fire rules vary by the specific site reserved. Campfires are permitted only when the booked site allows them, only in its designated fire ring, and only when current restrictions and conditions permit.
Our family is grateful to share this place with guests who value quiet, stewardship, and the beauty of GOD's creation.
