Tallulah Gorge State Park

Sites are VERY close together. Although there are deciduous trees between sites, there is no understory for privacy. The trees can be an issue in finding a lever place on the site. #32 was ok in this respect, but #29 was not.
After four nights at campground never saw the host.
Site only had a cursory cleaning. There were a lot of food wrappers, bottle caps etc around the small site. Bathrooms were fine. Showers were hit but not a lot of pressure.
Best aspect of the Park is the trail system. Several interconnecting trails. Ones along the Gorge are crowded, but once away, there’s some peace and quiet.

We had site 3, that is long but fairly narrow and has two trees flanking the entry, so it was like threading a needle with the camper to back it in. We have a 25’ travel trailer. If you aren’t good at backing in don’t choose this spot, nor if your camper is longer.

Finding a good spot to park it was a challenge. The hookups are at the far end corner of the site. We tried putting the camper part way back but the stairs couldn’t come out because they would hit the cement picnic table. Too far forward seemed unlevel, so we just put the camper back as far as it would go, a bit askew and lived with the fact that the front of the trailer was about 18” from the picnic table.
The campground was glorious with fall foliage!! As was the entire area. We did lots of great hikes in a 1.5 hr radius. We were just back most nights for dinner.
Most sites seemed quite narrow with similar issues with the darn immovable cement tables too close to the campers.
Across from us at 5 &6 they had their trucks up over 6” to get level.
Overall a nice place to use for exploring the surrounding area. Not enough space and privacy in most of the spots for me to enjoy the campsite all day long.

Hiking at Tallulah Gorge was amazing. Many falls to see. Hiking to base of falls requires 1062 stairs. We were here mid week in May. Weather was perfect and crowds low. Campground not full. Access to campground right off highway. Campground roads are narrow and windy. Our premium pull thru site #40 was easily accessed from road but very narrow. It sloped at from and back giving minimal “level” area to put 35’ 5er. Even using all of our leveling blocks it was still hard to get camper level but we finally managed. Left slide out was about 9” from tree and right slide was over edge of unmovable concrete picnic table bench making that side inaccessible. Many of the back in sites like much roomier. I would suggest choosing one of those. .

Camp site was clean and thought the overall site was very well managed. Bathrooms and showers were well maintained. The couple that managed the place were friendly and informative. This camp site is better than numerous places that I’ve visited at many National and State Parks. If this represents the rest of Georgia, thumbs up and keep up the great work. We stayed in 2 tents and my only ding is the campsite was heavily slopped, making tent camping a challenge. Tallulah Gorge is a great state park. We hiked the entire gorge and would recommend it.

Great small State park campground. We stayed in a pull thru site. Paved and pretty level. Didn't use the bathouse. Close to the trails that lead down into the Gorge. Great hiking.

The roads in the campground are narrow for larger rigs.

One worthy note the water comes out smelling like bleach and would on and off again look like muddy water. We had bottled water to drink but now I will have to sanitize my water system.

A pretty place with good hiking. The campground was fine, but the sites were too close for a state park atmosphere. We had a premium site, but I’m not sure I would have called it that. There was quite a variation among the sites, so know what you’re getting. Also, apparently on M-Th there is no one to check you in and we had to go to the visitors center, which is a mile away and was quite crowded. Not great when pulling a trailer.
