    Lots of renovations and now there are full hookup sites on both sides of the campground! Near the B1 site at the grassy area overlooking the bend in the river, they have these really cute wooden swings. A swing for two in the middle and a swing for one person on either side. It's a great spot to watch all the tubers or just enjoy the sound of the river on the rocks with a book. Other changes - they said that there is not someone working after hours, so check in may be a little different if you come in late. We never had a problem or needed anything, so it didn't affect us at all. Looked like a campground host was still on hand and had firewood available for purchase. Our trip for next summer is already booked!

    I recently had the opportunity to attend a fantastic outdoor concert alongside the river at River Fall Resort in Lakmont Georgia this past weekend. I have been coming here for years and have had many great memories made here with my family, combined with the camping experience and/or staying in a cabin, the experience has always exceeded all expectations as the staff there has always planned different events for all age groups each time. The staff are amazing and are always available. The location of the concert was simply breathtaking. Set against the backdrop of a flowing river, the stage was perfectly positioned to encapsulate the beauty of nature. The sound quality was exceptional, and the acoustics were surprisingly great considering the open-air setup. Overall, this outdoor concert by the river and camping experience was truly unforgettable. The combination of incredible music, breathtaking scenery, and the chance to immerse oneself in nature made for an extraordinary weekend. I would highly recommend River Falls to anyone who appreciates the great outdoors, and the joy of creating lasting memories.

    Amazing location basically felt like I was at the Tallulah State Park Gorge. It was surrounded by super tall bushy trees right next to the river I loved waking up and falling asleep to the river sounds. We brought our own tubes and had a super fun time floating down the river and lying on the rocks to tan. The only downside is that the campsites are very close together so if you have a hammock you may have to share a tree or you prefer a very quiet/silent/isolated campsite I would recommend choosing a site on the very end of the loop. The campsite had the cleanest bathrooms/bath house I have ever seen and I am a frequent camper! There was also a food truck open till 8pm that had a lot of BBQ options and amazing homemade lemonade. There was also an arcade, pool table, and a pool. You could also purchase firewood there, fishing gear, and tubes if you don't have your own. I am definitely going to come back!

    I will be the first to admit that I was apprehensive about booking. I had been scouring the internet for reviews, and this place had been recommended to me on a Facebook group. Most of the negative reviews on camp review sites were either old (seemingly old management) or and what seemed to be one off guests, most of whom seem to have their own individual, underlying issues. I decided as a deciding factor, I would call in and see what kind of vibe I got. After all, I'm responsible for booking our first ever family road trip. Luckily, I called in and got Tori on the phone. She was clearly doing something else when she answered, but once she realized I was looking into visiting, she dropped everything and made me feel like I was booking a room in her house. She was interested in my family breakdown so she could help find the perfect spot... and she did a damn good job. I spent a good 20 minutes on the phone while she worked us into a spot. We were only there one night, and she put us in B14. It was right across from the camp host, so firewood was easy to come by. It was also directly across from the bathhouse. We had a 30 amp in our 30' rental RV, but luckily we had a adapter. The place was empty as it is mid week in off season, which was perfect. While I loved the place, I'm not sure I would have the same experience over 50/75% occupancy. It was great to throw the raft in the river and let the kids enjoy themselves without worry. The river wasn't very deep, and even provided some small rock slides. The playground was about 5 sites down and also perfect to let the kids run to. We wish we could have stayed longer, but we will be back. If not this week, on our next trip to the mountains. The hospitality of Tori and This true hidden gem are a family memory we will have forever

    Absolutely beautiful location and views! We rented the Morning Star RV (A23) for 5 nights (6/21 - 6/24). I can't say enough about how perfect this RV and location is. I think it might be the best in the whole campground. This campground feels very secluded even though it is close to a lot of things to do. We arrived on a Thursday and it was pretty quiet. It started filling up on Friday afternoon as people came in for the weekend. We started having power issues - the power to our RV would just go off. It turns out that the breaker was being tripped at the main breaker box for the section we were in. The people who run the campground were great. They came out every time the power tripped and finally showed me where the breaker was. We finally lost power for good overnight on Sunday night. It was explained to me that a few weeks previously someone with an older camper with faulty wiring came into this section, plugged in and caused serious problems with the wiring in this section. They immediately started the process to upgrade the power grid for this whole section. We just happened to be there just before that was completed. It is scheduled for completion this week. I could see evidence of the upgrade process and verified that with the electrician who came out on Monday to try and fix our power loss. BTW, it seemed to only affect our campsite - the other campers around us did not lose power. The power issues, although an inconvenience, really didn't keep us from enjoying our time. We tubed the river right by our campsite, enjoyed their nice pool and had a great time. The people here are so nice and did everything in their power to make sure our stay was good. Monday was my wife's birthday and when they couldn't get power back on at our RV, they upgraded us, at no extra charge, to an amazing TREEHOUSE! This was an over the top experience! We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful, scenic, relaxing experience!

    We have camped at River Falls several times in the past. We love the location next to the Tallulah River. We have camped in both the A and B sections but, beware, the A section has extremely loud traffic noise. Our grandchildren loved playing in the river next to our campsite and we enjoyed the scenery all around the campground. Our last visit was three years ago until this month. I believe there are new owners now and we were pleased to see some minor updates. However, there were some major updates that need to be done. Parking for our campsite was a muddy mess and when I asked if we could have some gravel there the lady at the desk kind of snorted and said, "Yeah, I'll pass that along to the owner" lIke it was a joke. The bath houses in the B section are really in need of updating. They were bad three years ago but are even worse now - you don't want anything to touch the floor. Just because you're camping doesn't mean you don't want a decent place to clean up. With the high rates charged, you expect to have a nicer surroundings. All in all, it appears than this lovely area could be a great campground if some of the income went back into keeping the place updated.

    This is a beautiful campground. I think we had the worst site but still loved it. The sites with sewage hookup are kinda close. A6 is at an angle with A7. So walking out your door your stepping out to your neighbors sewage hookup. We just put a chair in front. But your backyard view is incredible. The staff are most accommodating and sweet. I must have called 10xs with questions of local needs like laundry etc. Not 1x did they make me feel like I was bothering them. The campground is huge with a variety of lodging options. Almost every site has river views. We are definitely coming back here. It's the total package when it comes to camping.

    We booked an event at River Falls at the Gorge before the campground even opened with the entire "B" loop. We had an amazing time this weekend and truly the campground couldn't have been more accommodating. The sites were level and the bathrooms clean. We are already booked again for next year! Please note: this campground is under new ownership / management and Tori and Teri did a fantastic job. If you've read negative reviews from years past... this is NOT the same owner. They've spent alot of money in upfit and it's a really great place to camp.

    I came here on a very hot summer day with the plans to see some waterfalls. We got here around…read more8:30am which I believe is when the park opens. We took the South Rim (At least I think it was the South Rim) and went to all 5 viewing points which is a flat walk and a round trip of about 1.5 miles. Then we went down into the Gorge which includes 1,099 steps (actual staircase) to the bottom and of course that many steps back up. You can't go all the way to the Gorge floor without a permit but that just means you can only walk down 1,089 steps to a platform. There are plenty of places to stop including a very cool suspension bridge that overlooks Hurricane Falls. This was pretty tough for a 50-year-old fat boy like me but it's doable if you can simply climb stairs. The views are amazing and worth the quads burning for the next 3 days. The visitor's center is really nice. There is of course a gift shop. a huge display of taxidermy of all the local wildlife and a very nice museum that goes through the history of the region. The most important part is they have air conditioning. Suck it up, take the stairs and buy the t-shirt saying you did it when you are done.

The hike to see the inspirational point and the swinging bridge wasn't too strenuous for my 4 or 5 year old for people's reference when considering it. We are an active family who hikes etc. There were a lot of warnings but we found it wasn't as bad as it seemed.

The area is beautiful, 5 minutes from phenomenal rafting and 25 minutes from the cute up and coming downtown Clayton.

At first we were worried that the trail would be closed due to the storm damage that occurred during the prior year but we drove by and there were multiple parties going in and out of the trail so we figured we would go for it! This trail is long and arduous, so be prepared! Us Floridians definitely overestimated our hiking abilities but we still got it done (thankfully). Bring around 2L per person or more if it's a hot day. We started on a Friday around 2pm and finished by 6:30pm and clocked in a total of 8 miles round trip. If you can go earlier, I highly recommend doing so to have plenty of light. There's two main parts of the trail where the bridges were damaged and removed. In one section, there's several logs that lay across the stream. Find a big stick, and scramble across. In the second section, the water is shallow enough to walk across without the possibility of getting your legs wet. But even if you get wet, both sections are not deeper than your ankle. I don't know if I'd recommend this for children as there are multiple sudden drop offs but more power to you if your family can do this! If you are a hiker, this does not disappoint!

Service was (shy of one saving grace) meh and food was just meh. The menu had several items listed that really could bring this place up a notch. Hubby ordered the duck Cuban which was really good. I had the chicken quesadillas, nothing to write home about. My girlfriend got the Philly and said it was good. I love the brand of chips they serve and especially the jalapeño queso chips. They were out of wings. This is a miss considering how this was one of if not the last weekends of the season to see the leaves change colors, it's going to be busy and wings aren't hard to stock nor do they go to waste at a restaurant/bar. They should've been prepared. The setup is you order at the bar, take your drink and a number to your table and they bring your food. Cool. They bring our food out and my gf asks for napkins and they tell her she's gotta go back up to the deck to get them. Huh? Why didn't they just bring them with the food? We have fresh food in front of us and now have to leave that food to get napkins? Here comes saving grace because as soon as that server made it back to the deck, a different server comes out to our table with a caddy of napkins. She was really cool, and much appreciated! They have a target audience (people coming and going to and from the park) so I guess they don't have to deliver stellar food and service but to miss on both is disappointing. People are making memories with their families. And it wouldn't take much to tighten up and deliver amazing food and amazing service instead of just being convenient. I chose the place for our party of 8 and I felt bad. Thankfully I think everyone was too tired and cold to complain.

    This is a beautiful trail that leads to two stunning waterfalls. The trail can be challenging in…read moresome areas due to rocky terrain and roots on the path. However, overall it's a pleasant trail with several creek crossings and rhododendron tunnels. The first falls, Panther Falls, is a sight to behold and you can even walk in the pool at the base of the falls. As you proceed from Panther Falls, the trail becomes harder as you go up the side of the falls, and there are handrails due to steep drop-offs. The trail is an in and out and takes you through lush rhododendron forests, alongside a scenic Creek. The effort is well worth it, though, as the falls themselves are magnificent, with cascading waters that make for an incredible photo opportunity. Angel Falls at the end of the trail can be harder to see due to plants growing over it partially. The Angel Fall Trailhead is located in Loop 2, area 2 of the Rabun Beach Campground. This is mostly an easy trail with a couple of short, steep runs. The payoff is reaching the observation deck where you can enjoy Angel Falls. Here you will see dogs on leash, kid-friendly, forests, rivers, and hiking. Great, short, easy "Moderate" hike. Parking is enough for a few cars only, but nearby there is a campground with a lot of parking. The hike itself is pretty easy. The peaceful surroundings and the sound of rushing water create a serene atmosphere, making it a must-visit for nature enthusiasts.
