| Tate Branch Campground & General Information |
This much admired 14-site developed campground is located at the junction of Tallulah River and Tate Branch in the North Georgia mountains.
 Whether traveling to the forest to camp, fish, hike or just breathe the clean mountain air, this remote location offers visitors a chance to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday living and unwind. In addition, the site has 4 walk-in tent sites which allow campers and hikers to take full advantage of the area's rustic character.
Check State fishing regulations before fishing. Hiking through nearby Coleman River Scenic Area is popular. The Coleman River Trail parallels the river for 1 mile through stands of large old-growth timber. Good, hard-surface roads until you reach Forest Service Road 70; expect narrow gravel road that is crooked and steep in parts.
