Moccasin Creek State Park

Could there be a better destination for lakeside camping than Moccasin Creek State Park, where picturesque Lake Burton meets the convenience of well-equipped campgrounds and a range of outdoor adventures? This family-friendly campground in northeast Georgia offers a serene escape with its flat terrain, making it ideal for RVs, tents, and campers of all mobility levels. Its unique charm lies in its accessible fishing pier, which caters to seniors, children, and others with fishing licenses, and the adjacent trout hatchery that's both educational and fun.

The 53 campsites here are thoughtfully designed with picnic tables, fire pits, and connections to clean facilities, including Wi-Fi, hot showers, and restrooms. While campsites are close, the overall ambiance remains peaceful, and the natural beauty of the lake and surrounding Chattahoochee National Forest compensates for any lack of seclusion. Lake Burton itself is the centerpiece, offering prime opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and boating, with rentals available. The park also serves as a gateway to nearby attractions like Hemlock Falls, where hikers can enjoy a short trek to a stunning waterfall and picnic area.

Located approximately 30 minutes from Clarkesville, Moccasin Creek State Park sits in the heart of an area rich in natural beauty and outdoor activities. Its proximity to the Blue Ridge Mountains, waterfalls, and charming local destinations makes it an appealing choice for weekend getaways or extended vacations.
