Fort Mountain Campground

The Great Outdoors

The list of things that are better than staying in beautiful nature is short, and RV camping at Fort Mountain State Park is no exception to that rule. Spend your days hiking or biking on trails winding through hardwood forest and blueberry thickets, over sparkling streams, and around picturesque lakes. If you want to spend some time by the water, you can swim, and also rent kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards - there are even aqua cycles and pedal boats here. You can also head the other direction and wander around the site of the stone fire tower and the mysterious rock wall, the purpose of which is still unknown.For anyone who’d like some more water activities under their belt on their camping trip in Chatsworth, going to Carters Lake is a given. This beautiful body of water is lined by a rugged shoreline where you’ll find boat ramps, playgrounds, and a public beach where you can sit down for a bit before it’s time to try out all sorts of watersports. Bring food for a picnic, or if you’re a bit of a daredevil, you can skip the snacks and bet your money on catching enough fish for a delicious dinner by the fire.When you rent an RV in Chatsworth, you’ll also be just around the corner from one of the largest and most beautiful natural places around, namely the Cohutta Wilderness Area. Here you’ll find miles and miles of trails running through a variety of different landscapes and of varying difficulty, making it easy to find just the right one for you. There’s excellent trout fishing, and you might spot a black bear, white-tailed deer, or wild boar if you’re lucky. It’s a great day out, for sure.

Exploring the Area

It’s time to park your camper rental and take a look around the area surrounding your delightful campground, and no better place to start than the Chief Vann House, once the home of Cherokee leader and successful businessman James Vann. The family lost the house when they were forced to head west on the Trail of Tears, and it stands as a reminder of times gone by. Chatsworth Depot & Caboose is also worth a bit of your time, especially if you want to know more about the local talc industry.You’ll also find a plethora of exciting events in Murray County, so leave your motorhome rental behind for a bit and go see a race with somewhat faster vehicles at North Georgia Speedway, conveniently located in Chatsworth. There’s also the Black Bear Festival with lots of food, arts and crafts, and shows with cars, trucks, and tractors. Dance to live music, go on a fun hayride, or check out the wrestling - or perhaps you want to enter the show yourself?If you haven’t put "rent an RV in Chatsworth" at the top of your to-do list yet, then it’s about time - because you’re going, right?
