I don't always write reviews ***** My husband and I booked a week in July 2022 at Enota, last minute in one of the RV sites.  We asked online for a stream site and were happy that we were confirmed with one.  When we arrived I couldnt believe how many beautiful streams were on the property and the abundance of flowering trees. We were worried that having our three dogs with us would make it hard to enjoy the property and have a good time.  We went to the different streams many times each day and played in the water with our dogs. The staff were great and our pups loved the attention with treats that were offered to them in the store. The owner came by to check on us a few times and asked if everything was okay.  If you like hearing roaring water from a stream at your site, this is the place for you.  If you like privacy and the feeling you have full range of the property without being eagle eyed, this is the place for you. We have camped for 40 years and I have to say this is at the top of our list!  We will be back.  Thank you Enota for the relaxing vacation!  The Hughstons

LOVED my adult campsite!!! My boyfriend and I can't stop talking about our 4th of July weekend away. The staff was so friendly and that's very important to me since I'm in customer service/property management! I keep laughing a little at some of these reviews.... "no wifi/phone service" you're in the mountains. Get off your phone. "It was so busy on Memorial Day weekend" yep, holiday weekend, people. It's probably going to be busy! Seriously, don't take these reviews seriously. Enjoy nature and don't hang around your campsite all day!! We will definitely be back!

Beautiful stream

I absolutely love this place! There is nothing bad about anything here! The staff to the amenities and the new friends we met here! We absolutely love this place and will be back very soon!

Saw these orbs over our campsite on our first nights stay!

Enota, I asked , "What does this mean?" "The land that nourishes," the staff replied as we checked in..... Not just the land, but Dr Suan Freed herself nourished our spirits and souls, as we encountered her in the amazing organic garden and farm she labors in, bringing forth fruit from the ground. And the well maintained farm animals of all kinds, were a delight to behold. My husband and I just happened upon this 'sanctuary of life' in late November. We were in our RV and the sites were wonderfully accommodating. The staff very friendly, helpful and knowledgable. The bath house was very clean and the grounds were well maintained and beautiful. And the land with the streams running through it, the paths to the waterfalls, allows one to connect back to the land in ways that most of us have long forgotten. This place was the most amazing on every level, it was hard to leave. It felt as though we had landed in this ethereal land of the living! Return? You bet we will and much sooner then later. Job beautifully done Dr Suan Freed....the helpful tips for us 'other' gardeners, was so appreciated, you should be proud of the work you have done to preserve the land! The shalom of God's presence certainly abides in this place!

Here is the "upper" falls. So worth the hike! This prize view is the reward of the strenuous hike I mention in my review.

My friend and I stayed here in mid-March 2014. We camped in the adult section, which is the section you first see as you drive in. I cannot vouch for any other area but this one. The RV, cabins, motels, and family camping sections are a whole different thing. Campsite: The adult section is right alongside a stream, which actually runs across the whole retreat. In this section, there is actually a small waterfall. The first night we were the only campers in our section. The second night we were 1 of 3. The third night we were 1 of 2. Keep in mind that the camping "slots" are quite close together. Also, keep in mind that while we were there it was very cold and very wet. If we had visited during the summer it would likely have been packed and cramped. I don't think I'd recommend this place for summertime camping. Campsite cleanliness: I would say the campsite was 95% free of trash. We stayed in lot 74. I happened to notice some dark trash in lot 73. It isn't easy to see from a distance - it was a small bit of broken black tempered glass. I say this not to scare you away but to actually inform the management. Facilities: There is a bath house! It is in the main area. It is about a 5 minute walk from the adult section. I quite enjoyed this walk, especially first thing in the morning. I did not, however, walk to the bath house when it was raining. I drove. In the women's bathroom there are 3 sinks, 3 toilet stalls, and 3 showers (yes, there is hot water). There is also a small laundry facility at the bath house. Only 1 of 3 washing machines were working. There were 2 of 2 working dryers. Hiking: I want to say there are 4 distinct hikes - one is strenuous and it goes up to the gorgeous waterfall, one goes up the side of a hill, and the other two we did not try. Organic Farm: We did not go see this. Trash and recycling: This could be done better. The place for trash is a fenced in dumpster with bags of trash around it and old bicycles behind it. The recycling station outside of the fenced in dumpster doesn't make any sense. It has signs for the different types of materials. Under the lids is just one giant recycling bin with no separation. All I'm saying is that I was confused if we were supposed to separate material types or just throw everything in there. It is quite possible I over thought this. Location: This is the perfect location. It is near everything - other parks and waterfalls, Cleveland (GA, civilization in case you need something) and Helen (in case you want to visit a really neat and well done tourist town). Overall: I really enjoyed myself. I was looking for a nice campsite (the stream was a huge plus), a place with a bath facility, and seclusion. For the time of year that we came, we certainly found all of these in Enota Mountain Retreat. ---------- followmea.tumblr.com/

I have a square drop camper with a rooftop tent will that made me have to pay more for the campsite? And do you have RV sites next to the water?

Cooper Creek Campground is absolutely the most beautiful, off the beaten path, places I've ever…read moretraveled and it's practically in Atlanta's back yard! Located on the beautiful and noisy Cooper/Mulky Creek just an hour north of Dahlonega up Hwy 60 and then up some of the most beautiful and winding mountain roads that make you think you're never going to get there! By the time you turn on to Forest Service Rd 236 (a beautiful and peaceful dirt mountain road that climbs up through the pine and hardwood forests), you realize there is something amazing waiting for you. And there is. Cooper Creek Campground is like reaching a little slice of heaven. Fifteen campsites scatter through out the lush forest, and five of them sit right on the banks of Cooper/Mulky Creek. I advise getting there early during the week so you can get a creek side spot ... there is nothing like it! The creek is rocky and noisy and if you fish, the trout are plentiful! I walked the loop and all of the campsites were beautiful and within easy walking distance to the creek. As a solo hiker and camper, I chose spot #1 for the way the creek opened up and the trees opened up around my tent site to give me a clear view of a beautiful moon. I also liked the quiet solitude of this site ... few cars passed here since it's on the back loop. The campground hosts also live two spots up. As an avid (delirious almost) rock stacker, I fell in love with this creek. The rocks are amazing and perfect for stacking and balancing. It was so relaxing I stacked till after dark and was up just after sunrise stacking again! The pine cones in camp are plentiful, so I got a good pine smoke going and didn't have the first mosquito or black fly. I'm telling you ... this place is heaven! After dark a bunch of deer came through my camp and lapped at the creek for almost a half hour. Two fawns frolicked in the fern thickets next to my tent for a while and were bouncing around like puppies! With the light of the moon, I felt like I had a front row seat for natures big show that night! Also, there are synchronous fireflies here, which surprised me. Just after dark during the Summer Solstice, I thought it was kids playing with flashlights, but it was fireflies, all blinking in unison! It was amazing! I can't WAIT to go back! In fact, now that I'm home, I'm missing it. Cooper Creek is open year round and keep their gates open 24 hours a day. You won't get a phone signal here, so you may as well turn it off ... the solitude is amazing! Each site has a tent pad, grills, lantern pole and a picnic table. There are also bear bins that are an easy walk from each site for discarding trash. For hikers, you won't be disappointed. There are five interconnected trails that start in or near the camping area (Yellow Mountain Trail- 3.2 miles, Connector Trail- 0.4 miles, Mill Shoals Trail- 0.9 miles, Shope Gap Trail- 0.6 miles, and Cooper Creek Trail- 1.7). I found myself hiking in and out and exploring trail after trail. The abundance of trees at Cooper Creek keep the temperatures down, much cooler than up on the main road. I paid $10 a night for my site. There are faucets for drinking water and there are two vaults for bathrooms. There are no electric hook ups or dump stations. Primitive camping at it's finest! There are no reservations ... everything is first come, first serve. Have fun everyone!

We hiked to the summit of Tray Mountain via Andrew's Cove. Although we had been to Tray Mountain…read morebefore, it was usually via Unicoi; this was our first time using the Andrew's Cove route. The hike was nearly 10 miles round trip and quite challenging. The weather was perfect, though a bit humid from recent rains, and we were soaked with sweat. We felt like we finally found a team with determination and patience. One of our new team members, nicknamed AlphaGo, had previously hiked ABC and EBC in Nepal. He was an amazing hiker, full of knowledge, humility, and a righteous manner. We truly enjoyed his company, along with his wife's.

This is a primitive campground with a picnic table, lantern pole and a firepit with a grate. It is…read morepack in-pack out as there are no trashcans or dumpsters. Water is available via a hand water pump across from site #8 and the toilets are vault toilets but were well kept and did not smell horrible. The stream is gorgeous stream and loud enough to drown out most road noise. There are some hazardous trees and one 6inch tree did fall while we were there this weekend during a thunderstorm. At the back of the campground is a ~2 mile trail that connects to the AT. Most sites have a tent pad that will accommodate a 10'x10' tent. Sites 2, 4, and 8 driveways can really only accommodate 1 car and there are no extra parking spots. Driveways for sites 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10 can accommodate 2 cars. Sites 1 and 3 are adjacent to the road and is going to be impacted by road noise. There is no campground host so be prepared to either scavenge wood or buy it in town, same goes for ice.

Decently priced campsite on the creek. There is a rooster that crows in the morning at a house…read moreacross the creek but that did not bother us. Fairly quiet and peaceful, nice people. The bathrooms were very nice and clean.

See update at the end of this review:…read more We have always loved this campground until a recent incident. Last May, while camping there, we made reservations to camp Oct. 21 - 27, 2019. There were three couples and we all made our reservations at the same time. On Sept. 30, 2019, it was necessary for one friend and I to cancel these reservations, which we did by phone to the office. Recently, I noticed that we had not received the deposit refund, less the fee of $10 for the cancellation. I called and was told there would be no refund because it was a holiday weekend (their Halloween event)...WHAT??? Since when is Halloween a holiday??? lol....I asked for the manager and was told she would call me...No call....I called on Oct. 29, 2019, and was told there would be no refund because it was leaf season (changed from Halloween). Their refund policy is below: Cancellation Fee Holiday, Fair/Festival, Special Event weeks: A 2 week notice is required for cancellation or you will be charged for the full reservation. Regular Camping weeks: Cancellations made prior to 7 days before your arrival will be charged a $10.00 cancellation fee. This fee will be deducted when refunding a cancelled reservation. Reservations cancelled less than 7 days prior to arrival will not receive a refunded deposit. Holiday and Special Events During holiday and special events, a three-night minimum stay is required. Deposits for holiday and special events are nonrefundable. Once the reservation is CONFIRMED, you will be charged for your entire stay if you do not show up. We are deeply disappointed with the management of the campground. I note for the record that they will lose all of our future business, potentially amounting to hundreds of dollars, for the sake of cheating us out of $28. Campers beware. UPDATE (11/7/2019) I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. The campground's response follows: "River Bend Campground has special activities planned well in advance for this particular weekend ( Halloween Weekend) for our children and families which is important to all our campers that book with us for this weekend, we always have a booked campground and have to end up turning people down. When people start cancelling, they have taken a site that someone would have loved to have had. The reason we have the cancellation policy that we have is due to not being able to book that site because people have already made other plans. I apologize that you disagree with our rules but every business has to stand behind their policies. Many campgrounds would have charged the balance in full at the time the reservation was made for any time in October, so we feel that we are being more than fare by only charging the one night. Even though that weekend was not a "special" weekend for you, it was for many others. Thank you." CAMPERS BEWARE,
