Visitors can enjoy hiking, fishing, and boating in nearby Lake Ocoee or take a scenic drive along the Cherohala Skyway. The campground offers amenities such as picnic tables, fire rings, restrooms, and potable water. It operates on a first-come, first-serve basis with 34 campsites available.
One quirky fact about the area is that it was once a major center for copper mining, which led to the creation of Lake Ocoee. The best time to visit is during the fall when the leaves change colors, and the average temperature ranges from 50-70°F. However, visitors can also enjoy the area during the summer with temperatures ranging from 70-90°F. With its breathtaking views and outdoor recreational opportunities, the Sylco camping area is a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts.
