Pocket Campground

Tucked away in the ridges and valleys of northwest Georgia, Pocket Campground offers a unique escape within the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest. The site sits in a distinct low-lying basin formed by ancient limestone dissolution, nestled between the imposing Horn and Mill mountains. This area earned its name from the iron ore pockets found in the surrounding ridges, creating a picturesque landscape that glows with spring wildflowers and vibrant autumn foliage. Wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate the frequent sightings of deer and turkeys roaming the forest.

The campground provides essential facilities to ensure a comfortable stay, including both flush and vault toilets, showers, and a dump station for convenience. Each site is equipped with a fire ring and picnic table, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploration. Visitors can take advantage of on-site fishing access, as well as an extensive network of hiking and biking trails that traverse the forest floor. A camp store is also available to help you stock up on necessities.

Because of its accessible terrain and well-maintained amenities, this location is exceptionally beginner-friendly and perfect for both tent and RV campers. Whether you are seeking a peaceful weekend in the woods or an active outdoor adventure, the Pocket Recreation Area serves as a welcoming gateway to the natural wonders of the Georgia mountains.
