Ellijay, Georgia · Cohutta Wilderness

About Sherpa Camp
About Sherpa Camp Ellijay
You'll find us near the headwaters of Upper Holly Creek, where cold mountain water flows just feet past the cabin year-round. These are trout stream woods, full of songbirds, cool air, and silence. We designed it for families, couples, and the quietly adventurous.
It's a place to return to what matters—firepits, bunk beds, books, and long walks beneath the trees. No distractions. Just a comfortable landing pad at the edge of the map. Literally.
The Experience
What Mornings Feel Like
The creek wakes you before the alarm does. Coffee on the porch, mist in the trees, and nowhere to be. This is what mornings were meant to feel like.
The Experience
What Evenings Feel Like
The fire crackles. The kids are asleep in the bunks. The stars are impossibly bright. You remember why you came here—and you start planning when you'll come back. ..
