Low Gap Campground

Tucked within the rugged forest terrain of the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest and alongside the serene Low Gap Creek, Low Gap Campground offers a rustic yet comfortable escape with 13 well-spaced sites that evoke a sense of seclusion. Known for its proximity to trout-filled waters and a backdrop of dense, rolling hills, this campground is an ideal getaway for anglers, hikers, and nature enthusiasts seeking a balance between wilderness immersion and basic conveniences.

The campground features essential amenities such as picnic tables, fire rings, lantern posts, and a seasonal hand pump for fresh drinking water, delivering a semi-primitive camping experience. A chemical vault toilet and bear-proof storage add to the practicality of this location. The surrounding area provides abundant opportunities for outdoor recreation, including fishing in the stocked Low Gap Creek, hiking trails that weave through the Mark Trail Wilderness, and easy access to the nearby Appalachian Trail. At just a 20-minute drive from the Bavarian-inspired town of Helen, campers can also explore cultural attractions, seasonal festivities, and local cuisine.

Low Gap Campground, located 4.5 miles from Helen, creates a perfect base for weekend retreats, day trips, or extended stays. Nearby highlights include Anna Ruby Falls, Dukes Creek Falls, and Raven Cliff Falls, each within a short driving distance. Whether catching glimpses of cascading waterfalls, testing your fishing skills, or enjoying the peaceful forest ambiance, this modest yet well-placed campground promises a quintessential North Georgia outdoor experience.
