I am looking to take a 2 night camping trip in late October/early November in the N. GA mountains. I would like to do some light wheeling on some forest roads, and then find one of the approved (yet seculded) camping spots down in a holler next to a creek or river somewhere.

I will be taking a 2wd 4th gen 4runner, and don't mind going over some rougher stuff, but I also know my limits with 2wd and an electronic diff.

Do yall know of any particular spots on a particular forest road? I found the big download with all the maps of forest roads in the state, I just don't know of any perfect spots. Fire permitted is kind of a must.

Camp guns will be a German P226 and an AK, hate on

One of the better car camping places in GA is Pigeon Mtn. Theres a WMA range on the way near LaFayette

Fs43.

Just watch out for locals

It will also be hunting season. Wear orange and have a hunting license on you if your carrying a weapon on national forest or any piece of land that even remotely looks like it could be hunted.

I like going to the Chattahoochee Nat. Forest and exploring the service roads there. I use FS 28-1 off Nimblewill Church Rd to enter the forest. There are some car camping spots along Chester Creek near where the A.T. and Benton MacKaye Trails intersect.  If you hike up river a short way along the A.T./Benton MacKaye trails there is a waterfall too. There are a lot of service road splits and unmarked side roads to ride around on in that area. Google maps has a marker at the trail/creek intersections labeled "Three Forks UFSF 58 4.3". I can't give you gps coordinates right now so hopefully that will help you find it.

Thanks guys. Those sound like some cool spots and good advice. Let me know if you think of anything else.

cooper's creek was nice.lots of places up there.

So. After action report. Had a hell of a time. I used K-two's GPS coordinates, which were aseomse. Came into the forest on 28-1, and went down to Jones Creek. Little did I know about the semi-sketch road down and the creek crossing down there too. I took some weird (bad, but with with the purpose of testing the 4runner and its electroninc diff) lines through the washed road down and up, and she was great. Jones Creek was a cool spot for sure, but all the spots were full by the time I made it down there Friday afternoon.

Saw this Jeep down Jones Creek Saturday, at what seemed to be a badass Jeepfest. Saw some CJ's, a BADASS Wagoneer, and a bunch of newer stuff. Yall seemed to have cool spot. So, who was it?






So on we wend up the holler to the 3 Forks mark on Google Maps. Great valley with a cool creek running right though it. Our campsite was right on the creek, about .75 miles downstream of the trail crossing. Chill spot, no crazy people. Traffic on the road because it is a "major" road to the trail crossing, but nothing problematic.

Overall was  great weekend, and I thank yall for the ideas. Pics are below

Looks like fun to me.

Nice pics, and great beer, Yuengling, a nectar of the gods.
