Cottonwood Patch Campground 5000 Old Highway 2, Cisco, GA 30708

"This is where Kane Brown is talking about in the song Bury me in Georgia. Ten miles out of Chattanooga South of that state line There's a no-name road off (old) Highway 2 Just past the welcome sign. It's where I was born, it's where I was raised Ain't sayin' I'm ready yet. But that's the place I wanna be after my last breath [Chorus] Bury me in Georgia Let me rest in peace Underneath the pines, yeah, yeah, yeah Where my roots run deep (Where my roots run deep) Whеn it's my day, put me in that clay And remembеr what I told you When I die, bury me in Georgia"

"There are some beautiful spots here along the Conasauga River! The only reason i didn't give it 5 stars is because all the litter from the visitors. I was actually driving behind a group that threw out their beer bottle from the truck window. I picked up some trash from the waterfall site in my pics but there was so much more along the way, it was heartbreaking. For a place where alcohol is illegal there were more beer cans and beer bottles than you'd find in a bar. My visit was on a Saturday and it was packed with folks out drinking and driving."

"This is a poor excuse door a camp area. Very little to no access to the conosauga River, terrible insects due to the horses, and you have to pay to camp. 1/2 mile down the river is another first come first serve camping area that is right on Jack's river. Much better than this place"

"I saw plenty of people use this camp with horses and have yet seen any litter or horse manure about. Well maintained by everyone it seems! Beautiful scenery, outstanding river access and fishing! Never saw so many fireflies!! Miss Susie approves!! Toilet is chancy, I figure that's more due to heavy use and abuse and service truck accessible. Been there a few times and will camp rhere again soon! Lots of trials for horse or foot."

"Unless you own horses, like biting flies, and enjoy anything but the peaceful getaway you wanted, avoid this campground. Seriously, I don't understand why they don't just call this "Cottonwood Patch Horse Camp" and stop misleading people. The flies here are some of the worst I've experienced and I've been in alpine areas when large flies are biting and buzzing. This was something else. The creek that runs through here is sluggish and and pools in many areas which provides perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes and other lovely insects. The campground itself is overgrown and lacking facilities. It is in no way characteristic of the north GA mountains - it looks like it would be more fitting behind a dollar general in rural south GA. The Forest Service has practically abandoned this entire area, as evidenced by the poorly maintained roads, dilapidated and/or missing facilities, overgrown campsites, and overall sad look of the place. If you're looking to camp in the area, don't. The Forest Service has turned it over to the hunters and horse riders to use and abuse. There are signs for another FS campground just north of this one in Tennessee, don't bother, though the signs remain, the campground has been blocked off by boulders and is totally overgrown and abandoned. My guess is they leave the signs up because they don't care - it's sadly characteristic of the whole area."
