Why Camp Near Jasper?
Things to Do Near Jasper, Georgia
Jasper carries two nicknames — "Gem Town" and gateway to the North Georgia mountains — and both fit. The main event is Amicalola Falls, Georgia's tallest waterfall and the starting point of the approach trail to the Appalachian Trail; hikers can view it from the base or climb to the top for a different perspective. Downtown Jasper's Main Street is worth a stroll in its own right, past the Pickens County Courthouse and the century-old Old Pickens County Jail, and a drive up Mount Oglethorpe offers skyline views that reach all the way to Atlanta on a clear night. Nearby Ellijay's orchards and wineries make an easy day trip, and the surrounding national forest has plenty of hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding to fill out a longer stay.

Plan a Trip to Jasper, Georgia

It's a natural stop for weekend getaways, Appalachian Trail hikers gearing up for their thru-hike, and families looking for a manageable waterfall hike, with Ellijay's orchards and Fort Mountain State Park both close enough for day trips.
Note that the campground at Amicalola Falls sits on a fairly steep incline, so check site access details before booking if you're bringing a larger rig.
