Diamond Lure Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

A lake sits just behind the camp office at Diamond Lure Campground, visible from the moment you pull in. The property sits in the foothills outside Ellijay, Georgia, and draws a mix of tent campers and RV travelers looking for full hookups and water access in a wooded setting. Sites run $30 to $50 per night, and RVs up to 50 feet can be accommodated with electric, water, and sewer connections.

The lake is the central feature here. Campers can swim at a small beach, fish from the bank, or walk the trails that wind through the wooded grounds. Dogs are well-served too, with a dog park, dog beach, and a dog wash station on site. Staff escorts new arrivals to their sites, which multiple reviewers noted as a practical touch that helps first-timers get oriented quickly. Holiday weekends fill the campground, and tent sites can feel close together during peak periods like the Ellijay apple festival or Memorial Day weekend, so off-peak visits tend to give more breathing room.

Full amenities include showers, flush toilets, drinking water, a dump station, and WiFi. A camp store on site stocks basic supplies, ice, and firewood. Lisa M. sums up the practical experience well: "Sites are adequate and bath houses are clean." Nearby alternatives include Lights Riverside Retreat and Talona Ridge RV Resort, and those wanting a broader look can browse campsites near Ellijay. Diamond Lure works best for campers who want hookups, lake access, and attentive on-site management in a single package.

Awesome Campground

This Campground is amazing. The woman in the office is so nice and very helpful. They have workers escort you to your site to make sure everything is OK. The man who escorted us was very nice, and made sure we knew where everything was (even after being told at the office). I loved that. The grounds are super clean. There are walking trails, a lake, a beach, and they even have things for dogs! (Dog bath, dog beach, dog park, ect). I'd recommend this place 1,000 times over!!!

We found this place by mistake looking at another location close by. This is a wonderful little place. Sites are adequate and bath houses are clean. We already booked another trip.

Loved this campground! We went during the Ellijay apple festival, so they were busy, but the campground was great! Great view of the lake and staff is so helpful and nice! Will definitely return to Diamond Lure campground.

Beautiful, and friendly service.

This is such a beautiful place. Upon driving up, you see the office and the big lake behind it and it’s breathtaking. There’s a little beach to swim in or go fishing, etc. I went during Memorial Day weekend so every campsite was being used, and our tents were a little close together. I’m thinking during normal times though, it might not be so crowded! There are gorgeous, peaceful walking trails that are decorated really well! I’d love to come back one day.

Fun, Family oriented and Family owned.

Diamond Lure is a hidden gem at the foothills of the N. GA mountains. It's in close proximity to multiple apple farms, vineyards and Amicalola Falls. The grounds are clean and maintained with water and power at all or nearly all spots. Scenery is wooded and rustic with a tranquil lake on the property. The Hosts are very accommodating and have a camp store on site for basic needs, ice and firewood.
