About Wildcat Creek Campground #2 Upper
**CLOSURE DUE TO WINTER WEATHER--JANUARY 14, 2022 storms have damaged the West Wildcat Road to not allow safe vehicle access to the campgrounds.** **Wildcat 2 Campground is closed. Cannot access with vehicle to clean COVID standards.** Although the winding road leading to the campground is not trailer or RV friendly, the payoff of landing a night in this environment is pure delight. These developed tent camping only campgrounds are buried deep in the North Georgia Mountains west of Lake Burton and along the headwaters of Wildcat Creek. The creek, seasonally stocked with rainbow trout, runs directly adjacent to the campsites and provides for an astounding setting, so be prepared to capture nature at its best, and bring your camera. On clear nights the stars appear to be just an arm’s reach away!
