The CampAway is approximately 4 acres and houses two 1/bed 1/bath cabins - The Big Dipper Cabin and The Little Dipper Cabin. The cabins are connected via gravel driveways or hiking trails and are approximately 60 yards apart and separated by elevation and trees. Guests of both cabins have access to the Tickanetley Creek via hiking trails. The hike down to the creek from the cabins takes approximately 5-10 minutes via dirt and rock trails and should be a moderate hike for most children and adults. These are true hiking trails and may not be suitable for everyone. Being true mountain cabins, pests and bugs may sometimes make their way into the cabin even though we do spray and inspect monthly to keep them outside.

Welcome to The CampAway – the ultimate fall hideaway atop Wallace Mountain in Ellijay, GA! Grab your cozy sweaters and get ready for an epic autumn adventure at our charming studio cabin, The Big Dipper, tucked away like your own secret fall clubhouse.
Nestled on 4 acres with private creek access and backing up to the national forest, the great outdoors is your playground for wild adventures and nature explorations. Our cabin offers endless opportunities for hiking, creek splashing, and wildlife spotting right in your backyard, making you feel like true fall camp legends.
The Big Dipper is very close to three of the best apple orchards in the area. September marks the start of apple season, and Ellijay is known as the apple capital of Georgia. This means you can enjoy fresh apple picking, cider tasting, and a variety of apple-themed treats during your stay.
Imagine waking up to the crisp autumn air, surrounded by vibrant fall foliage and clear blue skies. And guess what? The fun doesn't stop there! Step outside onto the wrap-around porch of The Big Dipper, where you can soak up those stunning mountain views or snuggle by the fire while lounging on the sectional. It's the perfect spot for sipping hot cider and enjoying late-night chats under the stars.
The cabin is your cozy headquarters for all things fall, with indoor and outdoor fire pits just waiting for those s'mores and ghost stories. Plan your dream autumn escape with trips to nearby wineries, cideries, and charming shops, take a refreshing hike to Amicalola Falls, or simply enjoy the beauty of the season.
We would love to host you at The Big Dipper cabin for your ultimate autumn camp fun!
