Chattahoochee Bend State Park is just 16 miles northwest of Newnan, Ga. We camped in one of the many riverfront platforms at the end of May. We were under the impression that we would be waterfront, but couldn't really see the water from the riverfront platforms because of the trees and topography. The forest is very lush and quiet though. The hiking trails are easy with level elevation. Although we prefer hiking mountains with sweeping views the forest was so lush and beautiful that it made for a nice hike. We hiked the Riverside trail from the riverfront platforms through a parking lot, where there was also a nice playground for kids, then back into the woods to an observation tower. It's a great hike for families.

The bathrooms were very clean and are a short walk from the platform campsites.

Fireflies lit up our campsite at night! Overall we had a very pleasant experience camping here and definitely would return.
