Black Rock Mountain State Park Campground

Our tent camping trip at Black Rock Mountain State Park was absolutely beautiful. The park sits high in the mountains and offers incredible views, peaceful surroundings, and the kind of quiet that makes you slow down and really enjoy nature.

The campground itself was well kept, and everything felt organized and welcoming. One thing that really stood out was how friendly and helpful the staff were. Everyone we interacted with was kind and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.

The bathrooms were very clean, which always makes a big difference when you’re tent camping. It’s clear the park staff takes pride in maintaining the facilities.

Between the fresh mountain air, scenic views, and peaceful atmosphere, it was the perfect place to unplug and enjoy the outdoors. We would absolutely come back again and recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing mountain camping experience. 🏕️🌄

We liked this campground. there are some great walking trails with great views. The campsites were quite close together. Water and electric hook up at the site. all in all it is a nice campground.

Dog friendly and beautiful views from most of the sites. Plenty of hikes nearby too. Hot showers and clean bathrooms!

Staff is awesome. Any trailer longer than 25 feet is tight getting to back sites

Absolutely breathtaking views! Clean facility and campground. Friendly staff as well.

We really enjoyed our stay at Black Rock. Despite being at full capacity for Labor Day weekend, the park did not feel overly crowded. The staff attending the lodge store were welcoming and knowledgeable. There was a good selection of necessities available, along with ice and firewood. The comfort station was clean and well-appointed and there was never a wait for facilities. While privacy of sites varied, we spotted a few with really lovely mountainside views. The Tennessee Rock Trail to the summit and overlook is the perfect distance for a morning hike and not too strenuous. The Black Rock Lake Trail is very scenic and well worth the 20–30 minutes it takes to walk the circuit. There are also day facilities such as picnic tables and grills. Highly recommend.

Very beautiful primitive sites. Bear boxes at each campsite. This site was a bit far from parking, so I’d recommend packing your things in a backpack. Beautiful view of Clayton at night. We were the only ones there and it was very peaceful. We also visited the lake and the lookout to view the eclipse.

Even though we only stayed for one night and were not prepared in any way shape or form to be cold at night - we had a great time. The hosts at the front were lovely and kind about getting us checked in last minute. The trails off to the side are great! We got beautiful sunrise and sunset photos. The camp sites are nicely spaced out, come with a lockbox container to put food in (bring your own lock and key), little fire pit with metal grill over it, and a good size area for your tent. We got campsite C which had a cute picnic bench as well. Definitely will be back!

This is a unique eco system high in the north Georgia mountains . Lots of hiking and views to take in . Clean facilities and nice staff .

Campground staff was friendly and helpful. The campground was clean and well maintained. The views are amazing. A bigger RV may not be able to make the trip. Research the roads if you have a large camper.

The group campground was better than my field lab group could've imagined! The site included 4 shelters with bunks, a pit toilet and outdoor shower, a grill, fire pit, and a little cabin with electricity. The campsite was so secluded and private, yet not too far from the cabins up the mountain. The state park is amazing too. Cannot recommend highly enough!

RV sites are small but doable. Check with office for advice when reserving. Winding road to the park, so it might be worth a day trip to scout the curving road and rv sites. Bathhouses are clean. It has great tent sites for solo camping or camping with others. Plan to hike the Tennessee Rock Trail.

Stayed with a group at the pioneer site and it was absolutely ideal! It was tucked away down its own little gated road and had 4 open shelters and 1 cabin with electricity. There was also a pit toilet and shower (no hot water). Each shelter had bunks for 8 people, but we fit several hammocks or 1-2 tents in each shelter. The large fire pit and indoor wood burning stove made the site comfortable for our group of 14. The park itself has tons of hiking and gorgeous views. Clayton is only 20 minutes and has plenty of little stores and restaurants (definitely go into Wander North GA shop!). Can't say enough about this park and site.

Very wooded camping & windy at times but we love it. The road is winding & navigating through the campground with a large rv (ours is a 38 ft 5th wheel) could be challenging to some but is doable. Super clean & very friendly staff. BYOI, bring your own internet if you want good wifi. Ours was Verizon & we had excellent service.

Amazing stay. Leaves were peak during our stay this past weekend. Very quite and an awesome park.

Great amenities, friendly staff, amazing views. Good proximity to many sites in North GA. Will definitely return.

Camped with my daughter and our two dogs for 2 nights and really loved this park. We had a large, multilevel campsite that was just perfect for tent camping. Very woodsy and quaint but the rangers office had lots of small gear/tools in case you forgot something, ice, they are open 7 days 12-8pm and they take credit cards! Highly recommend the ADA Hi Falls Trail. It’s a little hard bc you go downhill to the waterfall and then have to come up the whole way back, but I wouldn’t let moderate stop you from doing it bc there are benches to stop all the way and it’s super close to the campsites. Other recommendations - Mark of The Potter in Clarksville. A really cute shop that sells pottery from 45 different local artists and a beautiful waterfall right behind, a pretty drive about 40 mins away.

Spacious tent only/walk in only spots. During the week is best!! Great low key/high elevation spot….I chose the walk in/tent only spot Be prepared to hike some stuff up and down a muddy trail! Awesome to me!

The sites we stayed at were on gravel pads located 50-100 ft from the car. The cars are parked on a ridge and you hike a little bit downhill to the camp spot. Very forested and private. Beautiful views from the campsite. Would definitely come back! Water and bathrooms are a short walk down the ridge.

Absolutely beautiful scenery with lots of trails and wildlife to experience. The lake was a perfect and calm setting well also getting some fishing in. Miss Debbie at the trading post what is the best!

Beautiful. We stayed in campground 28, edge of the mountain, hard to beat those views, but the inclement weather cut our trip short. It was very windy, I didn’t sleep much worried that the tent would collapse. Our canopy’s front half flew out of the ground in the middle of the first night, (yes it was staked down but without guy-lines, I wasn’t anticipating hurricane force winds). The road to the campground is very steep, very winding, super sharp curves, which was fun for a car, but I don’t know how people get big rigs up those roads. Campground was well tended to, clean bathrooms and friendly hosts. Definitely wanna go back and enjoy it properly.

I camped here with a friend and the dogs. The road is a steep grade up to the campground. There are several overlooks on the way. The campsites have a firepit, picnic bench - and table, and a lantern pole. Some of the sites were not very private and more open without shade. We were in number 15 and it was in our opinion the best one. Trees and bushes on 3 sides. The bathroom was very clean and well maintained. The campground has a little trading post at the entrance. Unfortunately it was closed on the weekend. You could still pick up firewood. It was walking distance to several hiking trails. Due to a lot of rain, we spent our Saturday downtown Clayton, which is just about 10 minutes from the campground and definitely worth a visit. We would camp here anytime again.

Arrived for a 3-night tent stay. Check in was easy. There's a trading post at the campground and a store at the visitors center. Both sell firewood. The road up is winding and narrow. The sites are level and bedded with fine gravel. It's a terraced camp ground with decent separation between sites. Grabbed #25, about 75 yards from the restrooms down the hill. Breathtaking views! It's a great park with awesome cell phone reception. No bear sightings though!

This camp ground is gorgeous. The bathrooms may be the cleanest of any state park I've been to. The views are incredible all over. We stayed at site 40. Words of advice: site 37 shares a driveway with 38. If you book 38, you won't be able to get out if there's someone in site 37. Very odd. Also, 39 and 40 share a driveway entry, then they fork into their own campgrounds. Site 40 was perfect for us in our pop up. Maybe one of the best views of any camp site at the park. However if you pull anything bigger than a small trailer, don't even try 39, and 40 would be extremely difficult as well. We ended up without a neighbor at 39 because the gorgeous 5th wheel that showed up was by far too large to maneuver into the site. I loved it there. Highly recommend. Oh, and I can't forget to mention how extremely friendly the staff was. Enjoy your trip!

Great little hidden gem in North Georgia. Nice short hiking loops to do during the day. Some fishing on the lake that’s up here. Tents sites are OK. Great views in the winter when trees are bare.

We camped here a few months back with our neighbors. It was our very first camping trip and it did not disappoint! The views were serene The hike was wonderful! We have children ranging from two years of age to five years of age and they made the full hike! The reservoir was beautiful! The site was spacious even with two tents and two vehicles. The bathrooms were clean and kept up. We definitely made some memories here!! I can’t wait to go back!

A terrific night on a Saturday with spring like weather in July. Well kept and clean with attentive hosts. 

An easy drive from Atlanta with fantastic views.

Can be tight for larger RVs.
