The Cassidy Bridge Hunt Camp is located in a nicely wooded area along the banks of the Chauga River, one of the popular fishing streams on the district.
During big-game and turkey hunting seasons, the campground is opened free of charge. During the rest of the year, the camp is available by reservation. Families like to reserve the camp for reunions, cookouts and camp outs. When the campground is reserved, the general public is not allowed to use the site.
Surrounding area: The Chattooga River and commercial river outfitters are within 15 minutes.
From Walhalla, drive 5.0 miles north on Highway 28. Turn left onto Whetstone Road. Turn left onto Cassidy Bridge Road and follow it all the way to Cassidy Bridge Hunt Camp on the left
Free during big game hunting season (October 1 - December 31) and turkey season (April 1 - 30) and $30 per night for the remainder of the year.
A valid South Carolina fishing license is required to fish on the national forests. The U.S. Forest Service does not issue any licenses or permits for hunting or fishing. Please visit the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources Web site for license and regulations information.

Great campground. I have both rented it and been during hunting season while open for free and always have enjoyed myself. Great place for families and friends.
Had a blast trout fishing. Caught a few "bigguns". We dry camped the group hunters campground. Quiet stay. Nice people.
I have lived in this community my entire life and have always enjoyed fishing for trout in the surrounding fishing holes however there are TINY SIGNS posted stating that you can't catch trout here which completely ruined the trip. What's the point in fishing if you can't keep them?
No trout today. But usually a great place to fish. Hopefully they swam upstream and weren't wash away in the flood.
