 John Dillard settled in the area around what is now Dillard with his son, James Dillard, circa 1823. James took title to 1,000 acres of land by purchasing the lottery rights of land holders in Rabun County. John Dillard served as a lieutenant in the Virginia Militia in the American Revolution, during which he was in the Battle of Guilford Court House and other battles. Both James and John were residents of Buncombe County, North Carolina prior to their settlement on lands now comprising Dillard.
The small town is now known primarily for the Dillard House, a regionally well-known inn, restaurant and conference center that serves traditional southern fare.
The Georgia General Assembly incorporated the place in 1906 as the "Town of Dillard".

The two RV Gypsies liked this
campground because it was full-hook-up, neat, clean, quiet and near
several waterfalls, some in Georgia and some in North Carolina. The
campground provided the two RV Gypsies with several pages describing
nearby waterfalls.
Sites were all back-in-sites with gravel, nice grass and a decent picnic
table. All roads were paved and one-way only. Check-out time was 11
a.m. Garbage and trash had to be taken to the dumpster, not left on
sites. Hanging clothes outside to dry was prohibited. The fitness center
was for adults only, but the two RV Gypsies never had the time to visit
the fitness center, nor the pool. There were cabins, laundry room, restrooms,
showers, a picnic area and propane station, all of which the two RV
Gypsies did not use. Most standard campground rules applied. |

These comments are just the experience of the two RV Gypsies and do not make the campground good or bad in general. |
