Cloudland Canyon Campout

Cloudland Canyon Campout by Wandering Runner offers an unforgettable trail running weekend in Northwest Georgia, featuring two days of challenging yet scenic routes. On Saturday, participants will tackle a 16-mile course through the stunning Cloudland Canyon State Park, complete with breathtaking views and iconic waterfalls like Cherokee Falls and Hemlock Falls. The following day, runners will explore Lula Lake Land Trust for an additional 14 miles, culminating at the picturesque Lula Falls.
The event kicks off on Friday evening with group check-in and a dinner social before embarking on a nocturnal adventure run of about five miles under starlit skies. Both days include guided runs led by experienced trail runners who provide interactive maps via Caltopo or GPX files to ensure safety and navigation through the rugged terrain.
Campers can choose from tent camping, car camping, or RV sites with electric hookups for a true wilderness experience enhanced by creature comforts like pavilions for cooking and hanging out. The weekend concludes on Sunday afternoon after a final run and group dinner, allowing participants ample time to shower before checkout at 3 PM.
This event is perfect for trail runners of all levels seeking camaraderie and memorable experiences in some of Georgia's most scenic landscapes.
