I need help! My 13 year old son wants to go trout fishing this summer. Can anyone tell me a campground in North Ga where you can trout fish but I also need it to have a swimming area for my daughter.

Unicoi SP also has a lake/beach. Fishing I'm not sure about... I'm sure there is something around the Helen area with fishing.
Moccasin Creek SP also offers lake & stream fishing... not sure about swimming. As I remember, it's about 45-60 minutes from Unicoi.

Senior Fishing Rodeo

Seniors, test your trout-tempting skills against the best on Moccasin Creek. Only anglers 65+ years of age may participate. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophies awarded. Registration begins at 8:00 a.m., rain or shine. $5 parking. 706-947-3194.
At Moccasin Creek, the state raises the trout next door. Children and seniors are allowed to fish at the release area. There is not a beach, but I believe you are allowed to go in off the docks. You are maybe 20-25 mins. from Unicoi.
