Moccasin Creek Campground

The Great Outdoors

You’ve seen most of the beautiful nature trails winding through Moccasin Creek State Park, but did you know that you’ll have access to some pretty famous ones when staying with your camper rental at the campground? Well, not only will you be able to hike the scenic and historic Southern Highroads Trail with many fun and fascinating stops, but you’ll also be near the possibly even better-known Appalachian Trail. Spend hours walking in the footsteps of the people living in the mountains of yesteryear or just go for a short little stroll; it’s up to you.Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds is another harmonious mix between outdoor recreational fun in gorgeous nature and fascinating history and heritage. The beach emerging into Lake Chatuge would be a great place to start - especially if you remembered to put your swimsuit in your Clarkesville RV rental. Make use of the boat ramps and go for a long, refreshing hike or a relaxing stroll in the rhododendron gardens. Keep your fingers crossed that there’s an event going on, because that means that the Exhibit Hall and Pioneer Village might be open, allowing you to see both old memorabilia and a schoolhouse and blacksmith shop.It’s finally time for the showstopper of natural phenomena in the area and a must for anyone getting a rental RV in Clarkesville: Tallulah Gorge State Park. Walk along the rim of the canyon that gave this park its name, stop at one of the overlooks, or brave the slopes of the rock formation and make your way down to the floor. If you’re lucky, you might be able to cross both the monkey-faced orchid and green salamander off your list - and rock climbing off your bucket list.
