Timberline Glamping at Unicoi State Park
Quick Facts
Why Helen & Unicoi State Park
Helen is Georgia’s official outdoor adventure destination, an Alpine-themed Bavarian village on the Chattahoochee River in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, about 100 miles north of Atlanta. Just two miles away sits Anna Ruby Falls, one of the most-visited waterfalls in the South, with a short paved path leading to its twin cascades.
Timberline’s tents sit inside Unicoi State Park itself, with trails leading directly from the campsite to both Anna Ruby Falls and downtown Helen — a genuinely rare combination of state park nature and walkable Bavarian-village charm.
