Our Story

A Place That Feels Like Home
Since Day One

Mr Bud's Camp Ground isn't about luxury resorts or high-rise hotels. It's about something rarer: a genuine welcome, a clean pitch, and the kind of peace that comes from being somewhere quiet and well-kept.

Located on Georgia Highway 197, just outside the heart of Clarkesville, we've been a stopping point for road trippers, weekend explorers, and folks who simply appreciate the open sky. Our grounds are spacious, shaded by mature trees, and maintained with care.

Whether you roll in with a tent, an RV, or just a need for a quiet night away from the highway hustle, you'll find us straightforward, friendly, and always ready to help you settle in.
