We've stayed in this park twice, both times in October, to enjoy the beauty of the mountains. There are only a few spots available for short term campers; most sites are leased, and well maintained. Reservations are recommended. The roads in the park are rough and somewhat narrow. Some spots take some maneuvering to get into. The park has a very nice large screened area with picnic tables for large gatherings. The washers and dryers worked fine. If you enjoy reading, you'll like their book exchange. In the screened area, there are book shelves were campers take and leave books. The park managers are very helpful. They keep a close eye on what's going on in the park. It is a convenient location; about one mile from a brand new WalMart. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We camped here and this is Truly a Big Rig Resort. More sites are being added up to a max of 325. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent hooks ups 30/50 and 200amps. Great Mountain Views. Good 4 lane road up to within 1 mile of CG, last mile good secondary road. Plenty of State parks, hiking, fishing etc. Many things to do in this area of Northern GA. About 10 miles from NC border. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a resort park under construction...Great location...If they do as planned, it will be a jewel in the north Georgia mountains...Will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
According to the owners, the campground has been family owned and operated for about 50 years. They are very nice, extremely dedicated, and very helpful. The campground is very simple and rustic. It is a small campground but quaint and a little old-fashioned. The pros are: It is very family oriented with lots of things to do for children such as tubing, fishing and playing games such as volleyball, badminton, and flag football on a big grassy area in the center of the campground. It is great for tent camping, popup campers, travel trailers up to 30 feet and small motorhomes. The campsites are shady and most are by the river. The cons are: Roads are not very well maintained as they are very bumpy and rough. Some of the tree limbs need to be cut for better access to campsites. Also, some areas are very overgrown with brush that needs attention. Bathrooms are very outdated and shower curtains need a mildew cleaning. Otherwise, the bathrooms were clean. The pull thru sites are not really great as it is a very small and crowded area. There are no sewer hookups for rvs but there is a dump station. We stayed there for 3 nights and enjoyed the cool nights by the river with a campfire for one night. Overall, we had a pleasant experience with the owners, campsite, and surrounding area. We would stay there again in the future. If you are used to a more high class campground, this would not be for you. However, if you like clean fresh air, rivers, sandy and graveled sites, shady sites, and a getting back to nature type experience...then this is your place to camp. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Interior roads were in terrible condition: muddy and no drainage to speak of. The pull-thru meant that if someone got there 1st, they pulled forward of you and now someone comes from behind and now two rigs are locked in. Tenting on the river was probably nice. Restrooms are dated and no GFI in the shower room area. Sites overgrown and too many yellow jackets for us. Picnic tables were rotten and couldn't be used. Should have known...they had vacancies on Labor day weekend. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed in the highest area of the campground. We had a roomy shaded site. The staff was VERY helpful when we locked our keys in car. There was a very interesting Bladsmithing festival going on. Some of the family rode horses. We LOVE this campground. The little one loved the playgrounds. If the sites were paved I would have given this campground a 10. We will be back soon. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a nice little campground. It has several loops to choose from. Most are shaded, with the exception of a few pull through sites. There is a small pond for fishing with a sandy beach area on one end. There is a play fort and some swings for the kids. There is also horse riding next door, if you're interested. Not much to do other than fish and just relax. Several miles to the nearest grocery store. Chatuge lake is also a few miles up the road. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
The park was clean and the view was wonderful! We stayed for 4 nights. Very peaceful and pleasant. We camped with our 10 year old daughter and 15 year old son. They both say they had a great time and want to go back. We were treated very well by everyone there. We will be going back to Trackrock! We visited area state parks but most of the main areas were closed for different reasons. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground has much to be liked. It has gravel roads and sites, but the sites were very level, very large, and easy to back into. Many trees and quite hilly. The sites are almost terraced into the hills and there is a large distance between most sites. No one seems crowded. The temps were below freezing at night, but the bathhouses were all kept warm and comfortable. They were well kept and clean. The area is really nice and the grounds have lots of entertainment for kids as well as adults. Our only complaint was we could not get any wireless reception at our site but all we had to do was drive over to the office and had great reception. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
2 playgrounds for kids, pond to swim and fish (though no fish were biting), clean, hiking trails, hayrides, out in middle of no-where but close to all the fun outdoor things to do...Desoto Falls, Dukes Creek, Vogel State park, Alexanders, Brasstown Bald, etc, etc. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great spot (on the hill) with full hookups and wide sites. Easy in and out. Interior gravel roads could be better but passable. Mtn views from up top are the best in N. GA. Showers are 'new', clean and easy access for all bathers. Overall, a great spot and horse back riding on the property. Probably our favorite in N.GA. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This a beautiful facility, and is close to my home. The campground has been in business since the sixties, and seems to have the business down pat!. Most of the sites are in shaded areas, and care is clearly taken to keep the campground up to date. There is one new bathhouse that is very modern and clean, and they have recently revamped another. Trackrock has been family owned since it started and they are very helpful with making sure that they can do what they can for every camper. The campground is off the beaten path, which seems to be a draw for most of the campers I spoke with, but there is still much to do in the area. I will camp here again and often. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a beautiful park. Great views and friendly people. This is the first privately owned campground we have stayed at. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the bathrooms and the facilities. I would have given it a ten if they had concrete pads. I will stay here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We liked this campground because of its woodsy look and because it is off the beaten path. Less experienced drivers may have difficulty getting in and out because of the many trees and curving roads in the campground. There are many interesting places to visit within an hour's drive. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Excellent campground in the North Georgia Mountains with views of the mountains all around. If you have a big rig, try to stay in the meadows otherwise, the sites are not large and can be difficult for 35 ft and over. The horseback trail rides are scenic and peaceful as is the tours of the areas. Other than camping, hiking,horseback riding, and fishing the lake there is not a lot to do other than relax. The campground in near Brasstown Bald which is the highest peak in Georgia and very scenic on a clear day. Did not check out the wi-fi, but they have it in some places in the campground. Brand new bathhouse is clean and modern. The water pressure is adequate at best. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a jewel of a park hidden in the mountains of north Georgia. There is no way you would just happen across the park, but it is well worth the effort. Beautiful, spacious grounds with fantastic views. We had site 70 which looks over a big lake and rolling hills. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Trackrock is located in a beautiful, pastoral setting. It has a fishing/swimming lake, horse back riding and a large play ground. They offer RV storage. There is a camp store and rec room in the office. The people who run Trackrock are some of the friendliest I've ever met and will really make you feel at home. The sites at Trackrock are somewhat close together for a campground environment, but are certainly not the awning to awning situation found in some RV parks. Sites are level and easy to get into. Roads and sites are gravel and in good shape. They have added WiFi to the campground instead of just around the office. Bath houses are clean and one is new. The campground is quiet and nature is all around. Trackrock is definitely near the top of our list of places to visit more than once. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
the only real complaint would be the need for more rest rooms. The CG is beautiful, quite and well maintained. A terrific spot to park and journey out to Hellen or other attractions in the North Georgia Mountains. Camp host was more then willing to help with any questions. We will be back in the future. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
What a great place! We've always been partial to state and federal parks, and avoid private RV parks unless absolutely necessary. This is the park that broke the rule! Beautiful grounds, great wooded sites with lots of privacy, tons of stuff to do at the campground itself (including hiking, fishing, hayrides, and horseback riding), great surrounding area (a beautiful section of the North Georgia mountains), chapel service on Sunday morning, and friendly hosts. The only possible downside is that the roads and campsides are gravel and a bit rough (although nothing that cannot be compensated for quite easily) and the dump station is a bit, well, dumpy. Hence the 9, rather than a 10. We were there as part of a group of about 10 RVs (with 40 people), and they were able to accomodate all of us in our own area. We've already started making plans for next year's gathering, and intend to hold our family reunion there as well (there are even cabins for our black-sheep relations who don't RV ... go figure). We highly recommend this campground! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I came upon this beautiful and pleasant land about 3 years ago. If you are looking for a place that is peaceful and wonderful, then this is the ideal setting. Since I have been coming to Trackrock I have had no desire to search for a better place to spend time in the mountains. The hosts are very down to earth people and very kind in helping you with your stay. I cannot say enough about the beauty and enjoyment I get from spending a few days at Trackrock, like waking up in the morning and taking a walk around the lake to find one of the horses that is allowed to roam the property on its own, I can never remember his name. I have never done the horseback riding at there stables but I have been down there and enjoyed feeding the horses carrots and petting them. I can guarantee you this, you will surely enjoy your stay at Trackrock, as I have. I hope anyone that reads this will check out Trackrock on your next visit to the north Georgia mountains, you won't find a better place to stay. Happy Camping. We camped here in a Tent.

Nice clean restrooms.There is no cable hookup.There is a lake with a beach area and a playground for the kids.There is also horseback riding available.The sites are nice and large. There are also several cabins for rental use. This campground is in a mountain setting in Northeast georgia. We camped here in a camper.
This was our first visit to this park, and we were very pleased with this campground. The sites are spread around in different areas of the park, with some being next to a stream, and others more isolated in wooded areas. We hiked on all the trails and found them varied and beautiful. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The Fall colors were wonderful, and we are anxious to return to his park again. It is definitely one of the most beautiful Georgia State Parks we have been to. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Really nice park except for tight turnaround at end of road, and not able to reserve a specific spot. Wi-fi hot spot behind the office. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We camped next to the creek. The grand-kids had a wonderful time. Swimming, biking, hiking, mini golf, skateboarding & lots of other kids. Warm days cool nights. Perfect place for families. We'll go back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
I have to say this is one of the most beautiful State Parks we have stayed in, in years. The sound of the rushing water from the stream behind our tent all night just put you to sleep. I found all the people to be very cordial and pleasant. Our children loved playing in the water from the stream, more than going and swimming at the beach. We couldn't keep them out of the water. I am so glad to see such beauty still exists and that it is maintained at a superb level. I look forward to our next trip there!!!!!!!!!!! We camped here in a Tent.
Nice campground, good size spaces. It was pretty empty during the week but really filled up on the weekend. My biggest negative was the showers. You needed to hold in a push button to activate the water flow. In the summer that would not be an issue, but with mornings below freezing it was a chore to shower and not chill in the process. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is one of our favorite campgrounds! Everything was just perfect. The campground was beautiful and offered many activities. The scenery was excellent. The sites are rather large and private. We were in site 60 which was a pull-through at the top of the hill. The only negative comment I could make would be the lack of opportunity to reserve a specific campsite. We usually book months in advance to secure a suitable campsite for our camper. If you are a late arrival, you sometimes get left with bad sites. We will definitely be back! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The park was beautiful! We had a great campsite, all the way at the top of the hill next to the primitive camping. It was right across from the stream, it was private, and completely shaded with huge hemlocks all around us. The temperature at our campsite was at least 10 degrees cooler than what it was down on the lake. On the downside, since it was the furthest campsite up the hill there was little to no water pressure. The park was aware of the situation, that is just the way it is at the top of the hill. As with all of the Georgia state parks, you cannot make a reservation for a particular site. When we arrived at the park, there were very few sites available. It was either the one we took or one of the interior sites. The beauty around us was worth the trade off of lack of water pressure. There is lots to do at the park. It has a nice beach, pretty good fishing, pedal boat rentals, biking, hiking, miniature golf. Despite some of the issues we had, we still had a great stay and it is an awesome park! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We tent camp here often. Great wooded and large sites. Tons to do; fishing, paddle boating, hiking, biking.... Absolutely beautiful. We camped here in a Tent.
This park is a great place. It has numerous activities for all. I enjoyed all the hiking trails in and around the park. I also found many other trails and attractions on HWY 19/129 to visit. Mountain Crossings Outdoor gear store, Helton Creek Falls, and Desoto Falls are just a short drive away. Lake Winfield Scott is nearby too and you would be able to do many different loop hikes using the park as a starting point. I camped here in the winter and while I was here it snowed so it was truly beautiful. The park personnel were very friendly and helpful. The park store has limited supplies, but it is open from 7 AM to 10 PM. Part of the campground was closed for the winter and some of the sites are situated in such a way that it can be difficult to maneuver into a site. Some seemed OK, others were a tight looking fit. The showers and bathroom facilities were very clean. There is a playground for kids and in the summer there are paddle boats to rent and a swimming beach. I was here for Meredith Emerson Memorial Hike and I think there were a few other people camping here for the same reason this weekend. It seemed to busier than usual. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Vogel is a gem in the Georgia State Parks System. With a setting in the mountains the drive here is excellent - with both hands on the steering wheel of your RV. The activities for the outdoor enthusiast are endless. The trail to Blood Mountain is a great way to spend the day and shed some pounds. The easy 1 mile trail around the lake is beautiful. So why did I mark this park down to a 7? While the campground is one of the most scenic I've been to, getting a site for an average sized rig is difficult. For a popular fall weekend we arrived just before sunset with all the large sites taken - the last pull-through was just taken by TENT CAMPERS!!!!!! We did find a beautiful site with a stream next too us but it took almost 1 hour of back and forth with the help of many near-by campers to help us out - not a great way to kick-off a weekend. If this park can keep the tent's off large RV sites, Vogel will get a 10. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We hiked the trails here. The sites are large and lots of trees. We were on a stream side -wonderful to listen to when resting. We hiked many waterfalls in the area. Showers clean. Rangers helpful. Lots to do in the area. Beautiful mountains. Will definitely go back! We were in site 57. Next time we'll get site #59. --latter was a pull through-- We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Vogel is a wonderful state park and a great place to relax and get away. Sites are shaded and there are plenty of trees in each site. There are also plenty of activities for families such as putt putt golf, swimming, paddle boats, and many ranger led activities. A store is located inside the park office and it is stocked with basic items. The showers are very interesting in that the water only stays on for about ten seconds. You must keep pushing the button if you want to continue your shower. This can be rather frustrating. However, it is a beautiful park and we will return. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Vogel State Park is one of the oldest state parks in Georgia and was built by the CCC. In my opinion, it is easily the most beautiful. At 2500 feet above sea level, a light jacket might feel good, even in the middle of summer. Vogel is wooded and the campsites are no exception. The roads are paved, but the campsites are gravel. Sites are level and easy to access. A few are close together, but most are well separated. Bath houses are kept clean throughout the day. Each site is equipped with a concrete picnic table, fire ring and lantern pole. Many have tent pads off of the main site. A stream (Wolf Creek) runs through part of the campground. Several hiking trails start at Vogel. Additionally, there is a beautiful lake which offers fishing and paddle boating. There are two children's play grounds, horse shoes, volley ball and miniature golf. Vogel State Park is very popular and fills up. Advanced reservations are usually needed. It is one of our favorite places and we usually have at least one reservation booked for Vogel at any given time. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice park with many things to do. Do not like the current reservation system. First come first serve basis. Reservations only include a site and are not specific. We were stuck with small sites that were hard to get into. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Vogel is one of our favorite state parks in Georgia! We had a site directly on a stream this May, and it was just heavenly! The kids played in the stream, rode their bikes, ate ice cream from the camp store, played putt putt, hiked the trails and swam in the lake. There is also a CCC museum that is very interesting to tour. One negative is that you can't resserve a specific site (all Georgia State Parks), and when you're camping with a group like we do, it makes it difficult to all end up in the same area when everyone is first-come-first-serve. We've camped all over Georgia, and Vogel is definitely one of my family's favorite state parks. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
