Conasauga River Camp

River access draws campers to this dispersed site along the Conasauga River in Cherokee National Forest. The campground features approximately five or six camping spots accessible by two-wheel drive vehicles via a gravel road. Reviewers note the river runs clear and warm enough for swimming, with good fishing opportunities available.

The site sits directly on the water, making it convenient for anglers and those wanting to cool off during warmer months. Campers report the area attracts local visitors and can become crowded on weekends. The Forest Service provides drinking water and trash service, while allowing campfires and pets. Visitors should pack river shoes for walking in the water and expect higher usage during peak seasons.

Great spots along Jacks River

Beautiful spots down Jacks river directly and conveniently on the water. Remote but could see being busy during warmer seasons. We loved it.

Clear River Quiet Camping

Lovely little spot next to a very swimmable and warm crystal clear river - very popular with locals, and I imagine would be packed on weekends. Accessible easily from a 2WD just off of a long gravel road. There are about 5 or 6 good spots, also bring your river walking shoes or a fishing rod!
