Long Ridge Campground was established in the late '90's and has been one of Northern Georgia's best kept secrets. Come visit our beautiful, small and quiet campground nestled in the heart of Hiawassee, Ga. We are only a mile and a half from the shores of Lake Chatuge where fishing and water sports abound! Come to hike, horseback ride, play a round of golf or do some mountain biking. Take a day trip to Helen or Brasstown Bald and return to relax around your campfire. We offer amenities you would expect at a much larger resort - full hook-up sites, 30amp and 50 amp service available. Bath house with hot showers and flush toilets. We also offer conveniently located flush toilets for our primitive sites for tent campers near the camp store / office. The sounds of two creeks can be heard trickling throughout the campground.
Feel free to view more information at our website: longridgecampground.com
Located 4 miles from Hiawassee and 21 miles from Helen. From GA Hwy 76 in Hiawassee, to GA Hwy 288 (Sunnyside Rd) to mile marker "3" (which is Burch Branch Rd). Turn on to Burch Branch Rd (only 1 way to enter Burch Branch Rd - either left or right depending if you have come from the east or west). Proceed less than 1/2 mile to campground entrance on your right.
Wonderful place! We tent camped during the fair, and this place was so great. The staff was very nice and attentive. The site was great, shaded, clean and camping next to the creek was a plus! Will definitely visit here again.
The area was very pretty with a creek next to the campground. The bathrooms were very clean and like fancy porta-potties! The showers were very high-quality although I only went to check them and didn't use them. Lastly, the people running the place were very nice, friendly, and hospitable. Nothing to complain about!
Great campground. The feel of being away from it all, without being far away from town. Quiet; clean bathrooms. Camp hosts/managers very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend, the area is beautiful.
My wife and I just got back from staying at Long Ridge for 2 nights. We came to Hiwassee for the Georgia Mountain Fair and selected this campground as a second pick because the Fairgrounds campground was full when we made reservations. I am so glad we ended up at Long Ridge. It is so quiet and relaxing there. The campground is very clean as well as the bath facilities. The staff is super friendly and always welling to help. We will definitely add this to our list to return to.
Beautiful, quiet campground close to town and the host are very friendly and helpful.
The only thing that could make it better would be a sign on the opposite side of the road so you could see it! We throughly enjoyed our weekend stay. Will definitely come again.
