Doll Mountain Campground

Second time here, and this is a great campground. Bathhouses are clean and well maintained.

Doll Mt Campground - June 2-4, 2017

We loved our time in Ellijay and this camping spot was amazing. It was right on the lake, surrounded by trees so you had a nice private area to yourself. There wasn't any other campers while we were there. The staff was very friendly, and the wildlife was beautiful. A lot of screaming red foxes though, but it was so nice there. We will definitely be back.

Best Camping Spot

No campsites directly on the lake, it is a mountain so it’s steep terrain

Nice views but up from the lake

The staff was super friendly and very helpful. The bathhouses were clean and plenty of hot water for the shower.  Our campsite was large with a fire ring, BBQ grill and picnic table.  Also, had a lantern post.  We stayed at site A which was down a steep slope but, we had a nice view of the lake and even went for a swim right from our campsite. 








Very nice campground

If you don't mind a little hike campsite 20 is the best you will find. It was right off the water. Don't underestimate the walk from the parking lot though it is no joke. If you are the type to bring a lot of stuff maybe choose a different number. Also there is a lot of boat activity on the water (well past midnight). Would definitely go back.

Great view!

Located on a peninsula, you have access to the lake from almost all campsites. Some sites are on a hill so the walk to the water can be challenging. Camp sites were wooded and well spaced out. Boat ramp and trailer parking onsite. 

Lake retreat! 

This campsite has clean bathrooms &amp; clean campsites. It’s very secure and safe. There are also even hookups &amp; water access at each site. Showers are also hot! One of our all time favorite campsites, very nice all around.

Beautiful & Clean

Very bad hilly and winding roads.  Really not suitable for a 38 foot motorhome.   Small campground sign, with a name of a development on!   Very confusing.   They even admitted it.  Tight fit on our site, with huge drop off.  Beautiful site with large deck, but extremely worrisome in and out.  




Peaceful 

Doll Mountain Campground near Ellijay, Georgia is located on a peninsula stretching into Carter's Lake, and managed by the Army Corps of Engineers.  Beware upon entering from the main road -- there are steep hills and switchbacks leading into and through the campground.  There are two (maybe three?) restroom/shower facilities;  be prepared to drive back and forth or get a good walking workout.  A bicycle will be a nice camp accessory.

  

The main camp road runs along a ridge.  Sites are located on either side, many having decks overlooking or overhanging the steep draws and spurs.  

  

Electric sites marked 50A also have 30A and 15A (120V household outlet).  See photo.

  

The sites are close enough, but there's plenty of space.  Due to the topography, most are distanced front-to-back so you're not camping directly adjacent to one another.  Each site has a fire pit, a wood or charcoal grill, and a sturdy picnic table.

  

A black bear was in the campground during our stay, but it didn't bother anyone.  Just be "bear aware."

Pleasant, well maintained, mountain escape

The good:
Campsites are 2nd to none, perfectly level concrete pads with separate paved area for parking your vehicle.
Sites have picnic table  charcoal grills and fire rings as well as gravel area for any accessories or toys you bring along.

Bathouses:
Clean and well maintained, showers are hot with good pressure.

Roads in the campground are impeccably maintained.

Bad/inconvenient 
Be 100% positive in your ability to handle your rig and you have the correct vehicle to pull your rig. This campground has severe grades and hard switch backs. Roads are smooth as glass though.

No camp store. Stock up on supplies and wood before you arrive, closest location is 25 minutes away.

After looking at all sites, we would strongly recommend sites 9-13!
