Ah the Chatahooche. Takes me back to my early days in the Army at Ft Benning for OCS. One of the many silly things we were required to learn was the OCS Alma Mater song: (but I would not call what we did in and around the Chatahooche camping)
OCS Alma Mater
Far across the Chattahoochee, to the Upatoi,
OCS our Alma Mater, Benning’s pride and joy,
Forward ever, backward never, faithfully we strive,
To the ports of embarkation, follow me with pride,
When it's time and we are called to guard our country's might,
We'll be there WITH OUR HEADS HELD HIGH, in peacetime and in fight,
Yearning ever, failing never, to guard the memory,
The call is clear; we must meet the task [for] FREEDOM'S NEVER FREE!

http://www.fs.fed.us/conf/chatcamp.htm a few nice sites, but a bit crowded during summer & fall
The trail was here before we arrived, and it will still be here when we are gone...enjoy it now, and preserve it for others that come after us

You can get to the AT from this site, but it will take some bushwhacking. This is a great place for car camping with kids. My son and I spend at least one weekend a spring and/or fall there. We fish, hike, sleep, and generally just have a great time.
are you going to do the run down to st. george/appalachicola?
