Cottonwood Patch Campground

Cottonwood Patch Campground is located within the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest in the Alaculsy Valley of the Cohutta Mountains in north Georgia. It sits along the Conasauga River, just above its junction with the Jacks River, and is surrounded by mixed hardwood forest with planted cottonwoods and sawtooth oaks providing partial shade most of the summer. The campground has eight sites in one main loop, is flat and open with large trees scattered throughout, and is focused primarily on equestrian camping but welcomes traditional car camping. Access requires a gate combination provided upon reservation, and the gate must remain closed and locked. Recreation includes hiking, horseback riding on the Iron Mountain trail starting in the campground, fishing, hunting, and picnicking. Average daytime summer temperatures are in the mid-80s and winter daytime temperatures in the 50s. A 14-day stay limit applies within any 30-day period.
