At an elevation of 2,080 ft., on the banks of the Tallulah River, this campground is a favorite. If you like hiking, the Coleman River Trail is there for you to enjoy the outdoors and nature. This river is routinely stocked with Rainbow Trout! There are 3 RV pull-throughs for your convenience.
Open year-round. 14 day maximum stay limit. Quiet hours are from 10pm to 6am daily, no generators allowed to operate during those hours and no more than 4 hours a day during non-quiet hours.
Take U.S. 76 west from Clayton for 8 miles; turn right (north) Persimmon Rd. (a paved county road) for 5 miles; turn left (northwest) on Forest Service Road 70 for 1 mile to Tallulah River (another 3 miles to reach Tate Branch and another 5 miles to Sandy Bottom).
Reservations are not accepted. Occupancy of sites are on a first come first serve basis.
Great Campground!
We rode our motorcycles on some great trails and rode part of the Smokey Mountains 500.
Highly reccomend,
Really great campground right on the river. Spots are relatively spread out and clean, with some on the water. Facilities are convenient. Great spot for a night or two while you fish for trout. Lots of great fishing.
Love this campround. The sites are deep, removed from the road, and not on top of one another. Nearly every site provides direct access to the stunning Tallulah river. Garbage facilities located within campground. Bathrooms are smelly but hey, at least they have one. You are camping, after all.
