Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds Campground

The Great Outdoors

You’ve explored a little bit of Lake Chatuge, but now it’s time to see what this beautiful lake is really about. Get into your camper rental and head to Lake Chatuge Recreation Area, where you can spend all day getting as wild or relaxed as you please. Sit down by the water and watch the kids swimming and playing in it, or join them on a little boat adventure - you can go kayaking, paddleboarding, and even water-skiing. For the avid angler, this is a great spot to do some fishing, especially with the rugged mountains in the background.If you’d rather have the lake in the background and check out the mountains and forests, then you’ll want to find yourself a trail or two to go hiking on. Since you’re already at Lake Chatuge, you can just leave your motorhome rental there and follow the beautiful, root-filled trail winding between tall pine and hardwood trees and past deep pockets of water where the fish bask in the sun. Stop to smell the wildflowers, or see how many lake houses you can see through the forest - there are quite a few.Don’t put your hiking boots away quite yet, because you haven’t seen one of the most beautiful and spectacular places in the area - Tallulah Gorge State Park. This canyon truly is one of a kind, and hiking the rim of it will give you the most amazing views of the rock formation and surrounding vegetation. Protected species in the area include the monkey-faced orchid and green salamander, which you can learn even more about at the Jane Hurt Yarn Interpretive Center. There’s also the option to go rock-climbing, but only for the daredevil.

Exploring the Area

Sure, you can go all over the place and find fascinating historic sites and great culture, but you don’t actually have to go far from your motorhome rental at Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds Campground to have many lovely experiences. There’s the Georgia Mountain Fall Festival, the Appalachian Brew, Stew & Que Festival, and countless live concerts. Check out the rodeo, the Georgia Mountain Fair, or Dailey & Vincent Landfest, all held at the beautiful Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds.Another reason to book an RV in Hiawassee for the events is all the permanent buildings that tend to be open during special occasions such as the Exhibit Hall which showcases items and memorabilia from the several decades that the fairgrounds have been open including antique machinery, and you can buy some homemade goods to bring with you when you leave. You can also visit the historical Pioneer Village with a schoolhouse, blacksmith shop, and an old mountain home. Maybe you’ll like it so much that you won’t leave after all.Are you ready to go on what will probably be the best RV camping vacation ever? Of course you are, so start searching and booking right away.
