Around

the location

Campbellton Park now offers overnight camping amenities including a restroom pavilion with showers and water refill stations, primitive campsites, an ADA accessible campsite, and hiking trail. Users will also be able to enjoy the boat ramp and explore what remains of the historic town of Campbellton, including the John Beaver’s House and cemetery. This project was completed in partnership with the Goergia Department of Natural Resources, Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Program, and Trust for Public Land.

Location

history

Campbellton Park and Boat Ramp sits on land steeped in history, once part of the thriving 19th-century town of Campbellton—the original county seat of Campbell County, established in 1835. Located along the banks of the Chattahoochee River, the area was a key river crossing and transportation hub before declining after the railroad bypassed the town in favor of nearby Fairburn. One of the last remaining structures from this era is the historic Beaver House, built around 1840 and briefly occupied by Union troops during the Civil War. Today, Campbellton Park honors this rich past while offering modern river access and recreational opportunities, connecting visitors to the area’s historical and natural significance.
