Cloudland is an unincorporated community in western Chattooga County in the U.S. state of Georgia. It is located at an elevation of 1,498 feet atop Lookout Mountain,[1] a broad ridge that occupies northwestern Georgia and northeastern Alabama. Camp Juliette Low, named for founder Juliette Gordon Low, is located just northeast of town.
Cloudland had its start in the late 19th century as a summer resort.[2] The community was named after businessman A.C. Cloud.[3] A post office was in operation at Cloudland from 1916 until 1981.[4]
