Private and peaceful! Great host!
Private campsite! Chuck provides two campsites, but only books one family or group at a time so that people can enjoy the woods, campsite, creek, and view of the mountains and farm in peace and solitude.
Chuck was incredibly gracious, and lives on the same peace of land and is able to keep an eye on things or help out when needed.
We had total privacy until we had a question about something, and Chuck offered to come over and check it out for us. The host was a pleasure to speak with, and even told us of some cool places to check out while we were there, which we loved! We drove to Bell Knob before going to Brasstown Bald upon his recommendation. We now call it Graffiti Mountain, seen as an artistic endeavor by some people, and it was quite the view of Hiawassee from up there resulting in great 360° photos from the top of the viewing deck after ascending the stairs. We also got some great drone video and a fun twisty, steep drive.
Our young children thoroughly enjoyed playing in the Chuck’s creek, rearranging the metal animal decorations, reading books inside of our tent with a beautiful mountain view, walking along the farm dirt road, and in general running around in a safe area without any concerns about other campers or drivers.
We had the option to stay for another night, but elected to drive 2 1/2–3 hours to Cloudland Canyon on the other side of the state.
We are planning to go back to North Georgia next winter and Branchside will be our favorite campsite again!
