Weekly fishing reports, licenses, and a trout stream interactive map are available from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.

David was very easy to work with and had everything ready for us upon pick up. David went over the camper with us and how to use and set it up once we arrived at our destination.

David was AWESOME! His RV is super clean and exactly as advertised. His timely communication and focus on customer service was the best. I highly recommend David and his RV. This was a great experience and I look forward to renting from him in the future.

How to get to Moccasin Creek State Park
The park lies along Highway 197 on the west side of Lake Burton, roughly a 20 to 30 minute drive north of Clarkesville and about 2 to 2.5 hours northeast of Atlanta. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the nearest major airport for fly-and-rent travelers, while Greenville-Spartanburg International in South Carolina is a secondary option. RVers should note that Highway 197 is a winding two-lane mountain road with curves, rolling grades, and limited shoulders, so large rigs and towables should plan for slower travel and avoid shortcuts on narrow forest roads. There are no major tunnels on the approach, but drivers towing should watch for steep pull-offs and tight turns near the lake.
