We went to one of the backcountry sites in mid January and it was easy to navigate, reasonably close to a water source, beautiful campground. Too gloomy for views at the lookout point but that’s another reason to return!

This place is so beautiful with trails and waterfalls.

Wooded tent and RV sites that are very nice and well spaced out to give plenty of privacy. This area also has yurts available that are set up with beds and heating/AC so they make a good option in the hot months. Lots of great hiking and views on this side of the canyon and it also tends to be a little less crowded.

Updated review with photos from a recent visit. They have been doing some serious construction at this park and are renovating all the campsites. Although the work isn't done yet they still have some sites available and you can still access the views and hiking. Will be very nice when all the renovations are completed.

The campsites on the West Rim Loop are spacious, and well separated by distance and woods. Our site, 13, was easy to back into, and leveled with fine gravel.

The bathrooms are clean and well maintained, with a hot shower.

For a state park campground, this was quite comfortable. The bathhouse was clean and useful. We enjoyed the hike to Cherokee falls right from the campground (near our site, 21).

The sites were wooded and spacious to us. Also there are gray water dump sites all over the place and a simple playground.

Will definitely return.

Some sites are a bit close together, others are more private. We were on 29. A bit close to neighbor. Separate fire pit area with separate grill was a nice feature. Very nice to have electric and water on site. So many hiking trails. Very well maintained and marked but lots of stairs. Trail maps however not the best. Cherokee Falls is beautiful.

Loved it here!! Nice level sites that are easy to maneuver into, functional bath houses, not the most up to date but had hot water and private shower stalls. Amazing views and challenging hikes which were was we came for. Nice camp store and easy check in process.

This park is beautiful, has ample hiking trails and well-maintained sites, with clean restrooms. We stayed here for one night and enjoyed our time hiking several of the trails that start right from the campsite.

Love Cloudland Canyon. Originally from the area, came back for a few days and camped at the West Rim campground. Great spots back in the woods, very private, near the canyon. Make sure you hike the falls when you’re here!! Well worth it.

This was our first time here and we enjoyed the area very much. Clean, very well maintained, and connected to a fairly extensive trail system. You can easily access the West Rim Trail directly from this group of walk-in campsites and connect to most if not all the other trails in the park. Our first night here (2 nights, set up Thursday broke camp Saturday) there was hardly anyone else camping so it was very quiet. Friday evening/night the masses began arriving and 'carting' loads of equipment in. As we were breaking camp on Saturday, more people were arriving bringing more cart loads of equipment. Our stay was still enjoyable but got 'interesting' to say the least. We're going to try the backcountry camp sites next time. Just as accessible but spread further apart and more secluded. I still recommend these campsites. Just be mindful and prepared depending on the part of the week you're booking.

We typically search for campgrounds based on hikes that we want to do. This state park offered great options for both! It is split up in two campgrounds: East Rim & West Rim. This campsite is on the West Rim campground. Lots of spacious sites, but also lots of narrow sites with trees that could be in the way for slide outs. The bathhouse is old, but it was clean.

I loved that you could access hiking trails and hike to the waterfalls directly from the campground! However, the overlooks are much closer to the East rim. We decided to drive due to distance.

We purchased a couple of bundles of wood from the camp store, but unfortunately the wood wasn’t seasoned so we had a difficult time with one fire all weekend.

Overall, this is a great park and we will definitely return to camp and hike here again!

Excellent trails, well maintained site well worth a visit

Stayed at campsite 3, across from the camp host, and in front of playground and bathrooms.

Very large, very widely spaced campsites. Sites were comfortable for tent camping, but there were few tent campers when we were there.

Bathrooms were clean, and had hot showers, but had a lot of deferred maintenance. 

The Fall hiking  was spectacular. It's a beautiful place to see the hardwoods change color. Trails are well maintained.

We enjoyed our stay at the East Rim Campground. Our site was fairly level and we loved being close to waterfall trails and East Rim trail. Our neighbors were noisy with 2 different tent campers with babies and toddlers and a dog that stayed off leash. It chased the deer that were feeding across the road away which was frustrating. Camp bathroom was clean. Trail to waterfall trails between cabins 1 & 2.

We really enjoyed the scenery and how close the bathrooms were. We enjoyed the trees and how big the place was. Very spacious and beautiful. Super enjoyable place. Would highly recommend.

Close to showers and bathroom, not far to walk, nice size campsites and spread out so has the feeling of privacy and some further back are very private. I love that place.

Beautiful campground with great hiking and incredible views! West rim is more secluded and quiet but East Rim is more convenient access to the visitor center, trail head and other activities. Wonderful camping here… we can’t wait to go back.

Wow! Camped at west rim site 17, and it was huge, with tons of room. Fire ring is a distance away from the rv, so that is awesome. Shady, and close to the west rim trail! Just heaven!

Camped at walk in site, nice space, basic bathrooms short hike away. Lots of wildlife!! We saw everything from raccoons, deer, and turkeys to coyotes and evidence of a bear visit. Beautiful park area to explore!! Mimimal spotty cell service for anyone wondering.

We stayed at site 7 in the West Rim Campground and it was beautiful! A little tricky to back into, but we got it. A little bit of a trek to the bath house but manageable. Our site was spacious and secluded which is what we like. The bath house could use a little update but I have seen worse. We loved this park and all the views! We hiked to Hemlock Falls and wasn't prepared for all of those stairs - I'm not in shape and the climb up was hard, but the views at the bottom were gorgeous.

It was an amazing park with super cool waterfalls!

What a pretty place! Nice size campsite with no dedicated spot to pitch the tent but multiple options bc it is multi level with the fire pit down low in a separate hang out area. We did have a difficult time staking the tent with our tiny stakes so make sure you have titanium, the gravel is tough! We absolutely loved the hike, you can get to the waterfall and back in a bit 2 hours or so. There was so much further we could have gone and more to do if we had the time but that will have to be for next visit. Cloudland was our favorite campground the entire trip and we stayed at 5 different spots. We stayed 2 nights and will definitely come back since it’s about an 8 hour drive for us from home.

This campground is so beautiful! We were able to take trails, see waterfalls and go to the west rim. We stayed at the west rim side of the campground. We would absolutely go back!!

Loved it. Short walk in to camp ground. Pretty separated from other camp sites. Very dog friendly.

For being on a road trip and needing a quick place to stay, this campground fits the bill. Reservation is easy and it’s easy to get to. The camp site is loose gravel which makes it difficult to stake a tent in if necessary. For my personal preference it’s a little crowded and there were a lot of RVs. The smell of propane and the sound of music is not my ideal. I understand though. It was suitable for a good night’s sleep and felt safe.

I know there are walk-in sites in this location too so if I come again that will be my choice.

Such a great little campground! The sites are spaced out enough that you can kinda see other sites, but you're not all on top of each other. Most sites are a reasonable distance from the bathroom and parking lot. Sites further from both are more private. The trail to the sites also connects to several other trails in the park, so you can hike straight from your campsite to the falls. Pets are allowed, picnic tables and fire pits provided. Sloped sites have a level tent pad as well. would highly recommend!!

Beautiful hikes. My son made me hike the stairs down to the falls at least twice a day. Our campsite had no shade and was brutally hot during the day. The picnic table was on an incline, which ,add it uncomfortable to eat. Very close to the bathrooms, though, which was nice.

Easy to follow maps, beautiful scenery with waterfalls. Hiked 13 miles trails are clean and taken care of. Staff helpful and friendly. My dog loved it. Pet friendly. Very nice camp ground for camping in tent.

Cloudland Canyon is great place to just relax or hike one of the many trails. Georgia’s version of the Grand Canyon.
