In the agency’s own words
Seated alongside the sparkling Mill Creek trout stream, and just east of the community of Crandall, GA, is a beautiful gem of a campground named after the Hickey family who once lived there. Photos of campground

Nothing to book, just show up
One of 1,623 federal campgrounds where the site still goes to whoever pulls in first. Get there before noon on a summer weekend.
recreation.gov publishes no availability for a campground you can’t reserve, so there’s no thirty-night reading to draw here. The season bar above is what the agency does publish.

Who answers for this land
Hickey Gap Campground is in Georgia’s 14th congressional district. Whoever holds it votes on the laws that decide what happens to this land. See how its representative votes on public lands →
Our roster still carries Marjorie Greene for this district and the current federal record doesn’t list them as sitting, so we’re not naming a representative here until the two agree.
