About this campground
Nestled deep within the expansive southern woodlands near the pristine Chattooga River, Cassidy Bridge Hunt Camp offers adventurers an authentic wilderness experience. This secluded camp serves as your gateway to miles of untamed forest, where towering hardwoods create a natural cathedral and the sounds of nature replace the noise of modern life.
Primitive group camping is the primary accommodation offered, with no individual tent or RV sites explicitly mentioned.
Historical SignificanceThis historic hunt camp carries on generations of outdoor traditions, serving as a base for hunters and naturalists who have long treasured these ancient woodlands. The camp's rustic character preserves the spirit of simpler times when people lived in harmony with the forest.
Weather and SeasonsExperience the gentle rhythm of southern seasons at Cassidy Bridge, where mild winters give way to vibrant springs filled with wildflowers, warm summers perfect for river adventures, and spectacular autumn displays as the forest transforms into a tapestry of gold and crimson.
ElevationPositioned at a comfortable elevation in the rolling foothills, the camp enjoys refreshing breezes and moderate temperatures while remaining easily accessible. The gentle terrain makes it ideal for both seasoned outdoors enthusiasts and families seeking their first wilderness adventure.
Natural Features and ScenerySurrounding woodlands showcase the biodiversity of the southern forest ecosystem, with massive oaks, hickories, and pines creating a verdant canopy overhead. Wildlife abounds in these protected lands, while the nearby Chattooga River adds the soothing soundtrack of flowing water to your camping experience.
Geological RegionSet within the ancient Appalachian foothills, the camp rests on time-worn geology that tells the story of millions of years. The weathered ridges and fertile valleys create diverse habitats and stunning vistas that change with every season and shifting light.

Activities you can enjoy
Activities include hunting during designated seasons, fishing on the Chauga River, and primitive camping. "Had a blast trout fishing. Caught a few 'bigguns'. We dry camped the group hunters campground. Quiet stay. Nice people." (User review, Dee G).
Fishing
"The stream is of ample width to be able to backcast on, if not roll cast. Quite scenic in much of its length. Plenty of riffles feeding into nice runs, pocket water and deep pools. Lots of holdover trout of good size along with weekly Stocking, most of the year. Delayed Harvest from November 1st, through May 14th, from Cassidy Bridge, upstream to Bone Camp Creek. Give it a try. Catch and Release is a great alternative to ending up with too many freezer burned trout that will end up being thrown out. Just a suggestion! Good Luck!" (User review, Dan Jones).Wildlife viewing
