Tate Branch Campground is a Forest Service campground in the Chattooga River Ranger District of the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests in north Georgia. It sits about 10 miles from the North Carolina line, within the Forest Service's own land. Vault toilets are the only amenities listed for the site, and a fee is charged for stays. The closest neighbor is Tate Branch Trail, about 0.3 miles away, with Coleman River and Chestnut Mountain Trail both within about 2 miles. A.T. Plum Orchard Shelter is a little over 2 miles off. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the sweet spots. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show highs around 78°F in May and 80°F in September, with October cooling to about 72°F. The station sits at nearly the same elevation as the campground, so those figures are a fair guide to what to expect here.
