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.
Amenities & Park Features
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.
Who This Park Is Best For
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. If you prefer a well-maintained, accessible environment over a rugged backcountry experience, this park provides the perfect balance of comfort and natural beauty for your next trip.

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.

Great venue for just about any event. Very rustic with lots of historic buildings.

Second visit here to attend a Three Dog Night concert. Had a great time friendly helpful staff, venue was clean and properly lighted before, during, and after the concert. Area has beautiful mountain views every where you go. If you like getting back to nature this is a great place to go. The atmosphere is relaxing and calm, a great place to get away from city life. Very rural makes you feel like your a million miles away from the troubles and worries of the rest of the world.

Great time at the Fall fest. Just not very handicap friendly. My battery struggled with hills. Some gravel areas too

Pretty park across the street from the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds. The fireworks were beautiful at the fairgrounds and lasted about 20 minutes. The park itself has a beach, beautiful lake, playground, open picnic tables , grill, covered picnic table areas, restrooms and a snack shack. If you want to get set from the heat this is a good place to go.

This was our first camping trip in the toy hauler and we absolutely loved it here. We called a few days before arriving, were taking a last minute trip the weekend before July 4th (we actually checked out July 3rd to head home). Had left a message 2 days prior and the lady called us back stating she had a site for us and rates. Great deal. We got a site located in area 2 which was close to the water. Site was very nice with full hook ups. We decided to stay an extra night which they were fine with however the weather was not as kind. Not sure if it was ever decided that a tornado came through or if it was a microburst or what but definitely a scary moment. Within minutes after it was over and safe we ventured outside to find many people had suffered damage and one man was injured. The campground attendant took him to the hospital and everyone else began working together the clear downed trees from roads and campsites. It really was amazing how the staff and everyone came together to help each other. We did ride though area 1 and did not like it at all. Area 2 is the way to go if possible.
