Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds
Overview
The Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds in Hiawassee offer a unique RV experience that blends traditional camping with vibrant community events. Situated along the beautiful shores of Lake Chatuge, this destination provides a scenic mountain backdrop for travelers exploring North Georgia. Whether you are visiting for a specific festival or seeking a quiet lakeside retreat, the park serves as a year-round gateway to the high country of the southern Appalachians.
Location & Surroundings
Located in the heart of Hiawassee, the park is surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the expansive waters of Lake Chatuge. The elevation provides cooler summer temperatures and stunning autumn foliage, making it a seasonal favorite for many travelers. Its position offers easy access to local dining and shops while maintaining a sense of immersion in the natural landscape of the Chattahoochee National Forest nearby.

The facility features two distinct campgrounds offering over 180 total sites. Most spots provide full hookups, including water, sewer, and electricity, along with cable TV and Wi-Fi access for guest convenience. Visitors benefit from paved roads, level pads, and clean bathhouses located throughout the grounds. A major highlight is the on-site boat ramp, allowing easy access to lake recreation, and the nearby botanical gardens which showcase thousands of native plants.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Entertainment is central here, with the Anderson Music Hall hosting renowned country and bluegrass artists throughout the year on the fairgrounds property. Outdoor enthusiasts can drive to nearby Brasstown Bald, Georgia’s highest peak, for panoramic views of four different states. The lake itself is perfect for boating and fishing, while the surrounding mountain trails offer miles of hiking opportunities for those looking to explore the rugged terrain.

This park is ideal for active families and retirees who enjoy a mix of outdoor recreation and organized entertainment. It is particularly well-suited for those who travel with boats or enjoy attending large-scale events like the Georgia Mountain Fair.

We stay at camp site 8 in Area 1, very uneven and right on top of your neighbor. woke up at 7:30 am by the sound of pickle ball. Road sound, very loud. Bath house looked cleaned, but very out dated. staff seemed very nice and helpful. Lake was very down, but still beautiful!

Beautiful venue for the Fall Festival. We went to a concert in the Music Hall. Nice venue. The auditorium seats were a little dated and uncomfortable. Also, you will need a jacket, sweatshirt or something to keep warm. When that air kicks on, it gets cold.

We had a wonderful time at the Bluegrass festival. Facilities were very clean and everyone was so nice.

We had a wonderful time. There were lots well made crafts with good prices. This fair is located at Chatuge Lake. The crafts are located by a walk shaded by lots of trees and a walkable hill. We enjoyed the 75 year celebration while we explained the antique machines to the kids. There was Live music and dances! The firefighters had an interactive place for the kids and the forest service had an info-cabin. They had little souvenirs and informative little books for the kids. The carnival was great lots of games and foods too. We enjoyed the Shrimp Shack for lunch. We later snacked a roasted corn, cotton candy, and funnel cakes. One thing it would had been better by the Carnival is to have some umbrellas with the benches while we wait for the kids. I'm just saying because it was so hot 🔥! We went through lots of bottles of waters. Otherwise, I would recommend is to bring a light portable chair if you like to sit and wait for the kids.

Seen Travis Tritt concert. Good place. The security needs to get their ducks in a row. They made one of our guests take her small purse back to the car, in the rain. While the other two gates were letting ladies in with their larger purses. Mentioned it to them and they just acted ignorant, as they are.
