Campground Updates: Low Gap now OPEN and Water System Changes at Upper Chattahoochee & Andrews Cove

Visitors to the Chattooga River Ranger District should be aware of several campground updates as the Forest Service completes facility improvements and transitions aging infrastructure.

Low Gap Campground has reopened, following replacement of the restroom facilities.

Drinking water is unavailable as system replacement work continues on the Upper Chattahoochee River Campground and Andrews Cove Campground. The well systems that previously served these sites are being decommissioned due to the high cost of maintaining and operating aging infrastructure.

Visitors planning to camp at these locations should bring their own potable water for drinking, cooking, and other needs.

The Forest Service remains committed to providing safe, accessible recreation opportunities across the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest and appreciates the public’s patience as we complete these improvements and manage facilities responsibly.

For additional information, please contact the Chattooga River Ranger District.

Located within the Chattahoochee Wildlife Management Area and veiled by the Mark Trail Wilderness. This 13-site developed campground is as close as it gets to a dispersed camping experience with amenities. This clandestine campground is best known for its plethora of opportunities in camping, fishing, hiking, hunting, and simply basking in the light of the natural world. Low Gap is another one of our campgrounds located only a few miles from Georgia's much loved vacation destination, the alpine village of Helen, Georgia. A trip to this campground is sure to make memories, so be sure to pack a camera and take some home with you on film!

Low Gap Campground is closed for the winter season and will reopen on March 15, 2025.
