Maybe. We are allowing SMALL campers on Chimney Ridge. If you have a small rv/camper or van that will fit in a 20′ x 20′ spot (along with your car), it may just work!  The technical qualifications for a camper on Chimney Ridge are:

1) Must be towed in with an AWD/4WD vehicle.

2) Your detached camper and car need to fit into the 20’x20’ car-camping camp spot.

3) No generators of any type are allowed on Chimney Ridge. (One steering wheel per site. If you drive your rv/camper or van, that is your vehicle.)

There will be an area designated “quiet camping” in Chimney Ridge Car-Camping. For Park & Walk campers, find the spot that works best for you. There is a lot of room on Chimney Ridge so hopefully the noise from the camping areas will be buffered. However, please understand that noise does travel and while we will do our best to provide a nice “quiet camping” area, we can’t make any guarantees.

Maybe. The only guarantee for your group to be camped beside each other is to arrive at the same time. If you are arriving at different times, our Chimney Ridge staff will work to accommodate your request, but there’s no guarantee.

Yes. Please let campground staff know if you need this when you arrive. You will be able to park your car beside your tent in this area.

You can only have one car per camping ticket on Chimney Ridge. If you have a second car it will need to be parked in GA parking and you will need to either walk up to Chimney Ridge with your gear (10-15 minute walk) or wait in line to catch a golf cart shuttle at Front Gate (shuttle lines can be long). If you need a second car at Chimney Ridge you’ll need to purchase a second Chimney Ridge camping ticket. Again, one car per camping ticket. We recommend carpooling for your group, but if you must bring a second car, be sure to purchase a GA parking ticket.

Yes, you will be able to drop off gear. However we do ask that you keep your vehicle on the gravel road unless directed by Chimney Ridge staff. When you arrive, you’ll be able to decide where you want to pitch your tent. It is up to you how close you want to be to the bathrooms, trails, road, food vendors, and drop off areas. There is room to spread out and the choice is yours.

Yes. You will be required to have a metal fire container or ring, which you can bring along or rent from Chimney Ridge Staff. Fires must be attended at all times, with both fires and ashes thoroughly extinguished when leaving the area or going to bed. No bonfires allowed. Chimney Ridge Staff may require certain fires be extinguished if they are deemed dangerous to people or property.

Yes. You may either scrounge in the woods for fallen wood or purchase firewood from the Chimney Ridge campground staff. Please do NOT bring firewood with you as it could contain invasive bugs and critters dangerous to our forest.

We will have drinking water and portajons easily accessible. Showers are available on Chimney Ridge, just look for the rainbow colored doors.

The Chimney Ridge shuttles will run continually throughout the day. There should almost always be a ride coming soon if you need one. Of course, it is a beautiful and shaded walk, so you may just choose to stroll.

We’ve timed the walk both by trail and road. Whichever way you choose to go, it is less than a 10min walk.

Yes, the gravel road that loops through Chimney Ridge will be open to bikers and walkers alike this year. We advise caution since it’s gravel and has some steep sections and it will be shared with a limited number of motorized vehicles.

We’ve got you covered. There will be a coffee and a food vendor stationed on Chimney Ridge to help get the day started and keep it going.
