Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Castleberry Bridge

Awesome campsite. We had a tent and a hammock on campsite 2. It was a lovely experience. Only took a little over an hour to travel to the campsite from Atlanta and the firewood alone would keep us coming back. Hosts were awesome and checked-in often.

Weekend Trip to Florida Georgia Line River Camp

Everyone was very impressed. Looked better than the pictures.

Weekend Trip to Castleberry Bridge

Perfect campsite to spend the day by the river. Campsite has a beautiful trail you can walk or bring a tube with you and float back down to your campsite. Owners are extremely nice and what everyone to enjoy their time at their beautiful property.

Haywood was an awesome host and his land was beautiful

Weekend Trip to Castleberry Bridge

I love staying here!! I’ve stayed three times now and it has been so nice! Good views, clean and organized facility, family friendly but also can be romantic! Our kid loved the Cherokee fish trap and the mini playground. Can’t wait to come back!

Weekend Trip to Castleberry Bridge

Such a great place! The campsites are very clean and spacious. George is so nice and helpful- even helped us fix our air mattress. Everything is right on the river- so fun for kids!

Weekend Trip to Castleberry Bridge

1 night at Brooks Lake, a Peace of Heaven

Lovely place. Very friendly and helpful. Lake is beautiful and family oriented. Would recommend !!!!

1 night at Florida Georgia Line River Camp

This has to be the best campsite we have ever been to the owner is super nice. I can’t believe how lucky we got discovering this hidden gem. The campsite had everything you need, including water, electricity, and beautiful views. The water was so refreshing on such a hot day, and it was only a short walk from our tent. We have an annual tradition of camping for our anniversary and this has become our new spot!!!

1 night at Brooks Lake, a Peace of Heaven

The host was great and very accommodating. Laura took her time to offer us recommendations for eating, etc over the Memorial Day weekend. Aside from the mixed weather, everything went smoothly. We will look forward to visiting again sometime!

1 night at Brooks Lake, a Peace of Heaven

It was a fantastic place to stay. The view by the lake was beautiful and the huge pavilion covers picnic tables for a lot of people to gather. I would love to come back😄 The only thing I would recommend is to bring extra toilet paper as many people use there and it might be out of stock.

5 nights at Brooks Lake, a Peace of Heaven

Just what we were looking for. This is a beautiful place. Peaceful. The hosts were amazing. Shout out to “Bill”! We will definitely be back. So glad to find this hidden gem!

Weekend Trip to Brooks Lake, a Peace of Heaven

Very nice place to get away from the routine and share with your family and friends. Very good service from Laura, very attentive to everything.

Weekend Trip to Woodland Wonderland.

We had a blast, truly a great spot, Mr. Haywood is very helpful, made sure we had everything we needed, and even checked in on us intermittently via the app. Beautiful spot, beautiful scenery, beautiful time. 10/10 will be camping again

Weekend Trip to Castleberry Bridge

What a great spot! The owners and family are phenomenal and on site a bunch to make sure your stay is going well. The property has a river running right through it so most sites are right on the water. They have tubing on site that doesn’t require a shuttle. You can bring your own or they have plenty there to rent for $5. The sites might be a little tight for real large tents, but site 11 was perfect for us and our trailer for our motorcycles. Lots of great day trip rides and very close to the Smoky Mountain 500. The closest store for supplies is less than 5 minutes away with Publix being about 10 minutes away. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Castleberry Bridge

It was our first tent camping experience, and we had a wonderful time! The place is beautiful, and George is doing an excellent job.

Weekend Trip to Castleberry Bridge

This was my third time camping at Castleberry Bridge and, other than the rain (which only came after dark), it was a perfect weekend. I look forward to my next visit.

Weekend Trip to Brooks Lake, a Peace of Heaven

Everything was wonderful and the campsite was not only beautiful, but super clean. There were bathrooms and showers available as well as kayaks and boats for rent. 100% would recommend.

Weekend Trip to Castleberry Bridge

Castleberry Bridge is one incredibly beautiful Camp- We had such a wonderful time. The campground is well-planned and well-maintained. George, Ginny, and Nick were excellent hosts-very helpful and friendly-making sure everyone had what they needed. It was amazing being right on the Etowah. The day area is perfect for picnicking, fishing and tubing. There was a mix of families and couples and all were having a great time. We are looking forward to our next trip.

Beach camping in Georgia guide

Overview

Georgia's coastline offers a two-for-one destination: a 110-mile stretch of Atlantic coastline, plus 15 barrier islands just offshore. If you’re staying inland, pack your gear for a fishing and kayaking paradise along the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, which winds through Georgia's lush lowcountry marshes. Or, head out to the islands for beach camping, birdwatching, and a taste of Georgia history, including Gullah-Geechee cultural heritage. Four major barrier islands are accessible by car and developed with plenty of amenities (Tybee, Jekyll, St. Simons, and Sea), while the remaining 11 are only accessible by boat and remain largely untouched, including the gorgeous Cumberland Island National Seashore—a favorite among naturalists. Due to the Georgia coastline’s mild climate, there’s something to do year-round. Temperatures peak in the summer, though, so be ready for hot weather from June through August.
