ABOUT KENNEDY CREEK
Kennedy Creek Resort is nestled in the North Georgia Mountains in the town of Suches, just north of Dahlonega and conveniently located near Helen and Young Harris. Surrounded by the magnificent Chattahoochee National Forest, local activities range from hiking & fishing to navigating the curvy mountain roads (or skies).
We have 6 cabins, 4 bunkhouses, 4 yurts, a dormitory, and plenty of RV and tent camping spaces.
Nearby state & national parks are numerous and include: Amicalola Falls, Anna Ruby Falls, Dukes Creek Falls, Brasstown Bald, the Dahlonega Gold Museum, the Walasi-Yi Center and Tallulah Gorge, to name a few.
Only 1½ hours north of Atlanta, these mountain cabins have everything needed to stay a couple of days, a week or even a month.
Book your destination wedding, your next family reunion, paragliding event, amateur pilot event, and so much more!
Come and relax in this beautiful, fun and friendly environment.
Airstrip
Have a private plane? We have a private airstrip you can use during your stay. The runway also doubles as an excellent landing strip for R/C model airplane pilots and triples as a level nighttime platform for astronomy enthusiasts.
Restaurant & Tavern
Our Tavern provides a large dining room, 60″ TV, and many bathrooms. The Tavern sells food, beer, wine and liquor on the weekends. It is also available for rent for your next event.
Reserve the Entire Site
Want to hold a private event and rent out the entire site? We offer a fair price to guarantee exclusivity for your next event.

Free Wireless Internet
We provide WiFi throughout Kennedy Creek Resort grounds and thus allow you to remain “connected” via our network.
Outdoor Fun
We are close to many waterfalls, lakes, hiking trails, and the Appalachian Trail. On the weekends we have a bouncy house and multiple outdoor games. We have fire rings, picnic tables and rocking chairs all around! Have fun singing or cooking out around the campfire and enjoy the sunset and the night sky full of stars.
Public Events
We also periodically host fun, family friendly events and music festivals that are open to the public! Check our What’s Happening page for more details.
- sue l.7/01/2023We planned to fly in but the weather didn’t make it possible- so we drove down and although we were disappointed after arriving and seeing our quant cabin and enjoyed a marvelous meal at the inside restaurant our mood changed tremendously…. Worth the 8 hour drive We will be back for sure - the staff we simply amazing and so hospitableAndrea5/29/2023Our family loved the campground! Absolutely beautiful, family friendly, pet friendly and the on site restaurant had fantastic food. We met nice people and the kids and I had a great time. The only con was that the bathrooms were not very clean. We decided not to use the showers for the same reason, other than that it was great. We will be back!!

It's a great place and a great location with a lot of great hiking trails and a lot of things to see and do. Would highly recommend it for your next mountain adventure.

Full restaurant and bar on site with a good chef. Fire pits were provided. Would definitely stay with Claudia again. Super friendly place.

I can’t wait to come in the summer to enjoy the delicious food and Drinks. We will definitely be Visiting again soon and look forward to pour next trip. Read Less
- Daniel12/18/2022Quaint campground--exactly as advertised. We went when it was around 22 degrees outside, and the space heater helped *some.* I would definitely recommend bringing extra blankets and cold weather gear if you go in the winter. Otherwise, everything was great--bathrooms, open space, firepits, etc.

She made us feel right at home. I would definitely recommend staying at Kennedy creek!! Read Less

- christian m.10/23/2022We stayed this past weekend. Amazing place for a family to camp. Beautiful, so close to so many things to do, and Ms. Claudia was an absolute amazing hostess. Great facilities, and so many little extra things included, it was just great to pitch a tent and relax. We will be back!

If I was just grading the yurt, I'd have nothing but a positive review. Unfortunately, we didn't get the best of this place - I suspect because we went off season and during the week. The communication and hospitality where seriously lacking. To the extent that we felt like we were an inconvenience to the hosts.
As a campground it was a confusing experience too. The restaurant on site was closed (even during some of the posted hours which are already limited) which left us a bit stranded for one dinner. It is not obvious where to get water or wash dishes, our site didn't have a fire ring even we got there and the staff seemed indifferent about bringing us one. (They did, in the end.) We also didn't have a picnic table and the only chairs where metal - a challenge on cold days!
I'm tempted to go back on a different weekend, because I have a feeling it's an awesome experience when they're on their A-game. A guidebook, directions manual, or similar would go a long way too if they're not interested in engaging with guests. Or, signs? It was strange and disappointing, which is unfortunate because the property and accommodations are great. Read Less - Carrie10/16/2022I can't say enough about our stay. All the staff treated me and my daughter like family. We stayed in the #1 bunkhouse (The Americana). It was perfect for me and my daughter. Just steps away from the bathhouse, playground, and Tavern. The location was central to a whole weekend of sight seeing and adventures. We definitely will be booking with them again in the future.

She even had free ice available, which as you know when camping, is a pretty sweet deal.
We will certainly be back. I can’t say enough good things about this place, and sweet Ms. Claudia. Our family is thankful we found Kennedy Creek, and got to meet Ms. Claudia.
Thank you! Read Less -

We stayed in the “Free Spirit” yurt and enjoyed our stay!
The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Check in & out were a breeze and the grounds were GORGEOUS. The view alone is worth a stay. We loved enjoying tea on the rocking chairs and taking in the surroundings. The shared bath house was kept very clean and well stocked and the yurt itself had just enough room for the two of us! The bed was comfortable and the inside of the tent was quite cute. We didn’t expect it to be so close to the others, and it did have a bit of a musty smell but we lit some incense and were fine.
Overall it was a great stay and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a camping style stay— but with a more comfortable bed and without the hassle of setup or tear down.

We had a bit of a dilemma with finding the designated area to set up our tent and then getting electricity but Claudia worked it all out.

Easy to book.. communication with Claudia was great- she promptly answered any question I had! The bunkhouse was Pinterest perfect!!! I brought my two teens- we were all impressed- loved the bunkhouse, the area, sitting out by the fire! Perfect experience it and we will be back!!

We had catfish, baked beans, hush puppies and coleslaw and comes with dessert (though we were too stuffed to have any). They had live music from dinner to 9pm. We'd always wanted to stay at a yurt, so it was something we looked forward to. They have fire rings and seating. Bring your own firewood. All in all, a really nice day trip from Atlanta-area.
