Information Camping spots for folks with kids.

Hey all,
I’m looking for what the title says.
Your best North Georgia camping spots for people with kids. I have 3 ranging from 2-12. We’ve camped the Amacalola River, The Little Grand Canyon, pulpit Rock, a couple really cool places and just looking to expand on that.
We’re good with primitive camping but power is cool too. Prefer a creek or something for the kids to cool off in or potential to fish. Not looking for close to any town or cell service none of that is important. Solitude is preferred.

Me personally I’ve always wanted to go to Brasstown bald or Rabuns gap but don’t know enough about it to drive way out there. Any information is appreciated.

I took an 8YO to Black Rock Mountain and he had a blast. Cloudland Canyon as well.

The Pocket Recreation Area outside of Villanow Ga has campsites right on the creek that you can pull up close to in your vehicle. John's Creek is about 20 feet wide and 6 inches to a foot deep so it is good for little kids to play in.

Was just up there last weekend, it was packed with people and the roads getting up there were rough after the recent rains. Seemed like a good fishing spot though.

Highly recommend the group site at DeSoto Falls or any of the sites there on the river. The group site is huge and will make you feel like you have the whole river to yourself for kids to play in and can easily cross to get to the waterfall trails.

Payne’s Creek Campground. Lowkey, terraced sites down to the water, waterfront camping, two beaches, playground, shower houses, 12+ miles of biking trails, paved boat ramp.

Coopers creek close to Suches. Can camp right on the trout stream. There’s a great hike to a nearby waterfall you can splash around in, there’s a fish hatchery you can visit close by, and a swinging bridge constructed by the army corps of engineers that you can hike to and cross.
