Description

Georgia Department of Natural Resources

Cloudland Canyon State Park

Resting on the western edge of northwest Georgia’s Lookout Mountain, Cloudland Canyon State Park is more than 3,000 acres—one of the state’s largest parks—of rugged geology, and offers visitors hiking, camping, rock climbing and more along the park’s most iconic feature: the deep gorge cut through the mountain (elevation varies from 800 to more than 1,800 feet!) by the Sitton Gulch Creek. Multiple waterfalls and cascades, including the uber-popular Hemlock Falls, can be found throughout the gorge, making this park feel like a hidden gem around Lookout Mountain.

Staring at the geographic anomaly isn’t the only thing to do at this park, however. Beyond the countless miles of hiking, biking and horse riding trails, geology fanatics can find rock climbing, rappelling and spelunking across the park—cave tours are even offered for beginning cave explorers at Sitton’s Cave.

The park holds a massive variety of camping options, including 72 spots suitable for both tent and RV campers, 30 walk-in sites, 13 dispersed sites, 16 cottages and 10 yurts, each in a different area of the park. With this many options, campers can find seclusion all around.

Peaceful and beautiful

They’re both very easy, hiking trails and more difficult ones depending on how much you wanna do. The staff at the desk is very helpful, especially for my first time camping campsites are really big, especially for tents. Cell service is OK but there’s Wi-Fi over campus as well 10 out of 10 would recommend

Amazing five days !

As most people say, this is one of the best parks for camping. Lots of great hikes, waterfalls and blooming azalea and rhododendron. It looked like the bath houses in the west rim campground are new or fully renovated. The lower portion of the west rim campground appears to have lost many of the shade trees. However our site was nicely shaded. We plan on going back maybe in the fall.

Many hiking and viewpoints

Great place to camp near the cloudland canyon. The campsite 8 that we camped on was far from parking and restroom, so you might wanna choose the sites near to parking. Be prepared to carry things for quite a walk. Bring something to carry water to your site from water filling station near the restrooms. But, the campsites are well spaced so you will have the privacy you need. There are lots of beautiful hiking places nearby.

Crowded but close to great views

The sites are very close together here and you can expect it to usually be booked up. However, the facilities are in great condition and there are lots of short trails to amazing vistas.

They also sell $6 firewood, which is the cheapest I’ve seen in a while. Checking in is confusing because they don’t send you any info on what to do or how to get to your site (there’s two campgrounds, don’t go to the wrong one). You are supposed to stop at the visitor center to check in.

An amazing place to stay and explore!

We stayed in the West Rim Campground and i love the way it's laid out. Site 34 has multi levels, one for the camper, one which could be a sitting or tent area, and one for the firepit. It backs up to woods but also has an open area that you could play numerous games(cornhole, football, frisbee etc) It also has a picnic table, grill and fire ring(all were in amazing shape). We purchased firewood from the visitor center but you can also purchase from camp host. Currently it's$6 a bundle and they keep it in a cute little outhouse looking storage building lol. It is a very clean, well maintained and quiet(while we were there) campground. If you are even slightly considering staying here, just go ahead and book it. It's an amazing campground surrounded by an equally amazing State Park.

Our favorite GA state park

This place seems to have it all. The hikes are diverse from walking along the edge of a canyon with beautiful vistas to trekking through the gulch with canyon walls towering overhead. The waterfalls are beautiful too although they were all but non-existent after the recent dry weather. The campsites offer good privacy with clean facilities.

Stayed in the East Rim for 7 nights. Amazing park with plenty of great hiking trails for all level of 'hikers'. We had a very young fawn come through our site and hang around all morning. 

The facilities were the best I have ever seen in a state park.

Great Location near Trails

While this campsite was a little bit of a walk from the parking area, and the parking area needs more spots, we had a blast being this far away other campsites and being so close to the west rim trail.
The seclusion was wonderful and quiet, and the showers and bathrooms were clean and appeared to be new.
If you don’t mind walking to your site, the walk-in campsites are a great option for a weekend stay!

Nice quiet primitive camping

Camped at site 19 of the walk-in campground. The campsites close to parking and fairly close, I chose site 19 because it is a bit of a walk and more private. I could not see any other campers from campsite. During the week I had the back section all to myself. There is a stream flowing by the campsite so I could hear the water flowing, nice and relaxing. Hiking trail runs from campsite to the main trails for plenty if beautiful hiking and waterfalls to enjoy.

You can definitely tell there has been lots of recent work completed. The West Rim was closed during our visit but we stayed at the newly renovated East Rim and it was very nice. Flat sites, well spaced, some pull through sites that are very large for big rigs. There are also a few handicap paved sites near the bath house. Access to trails directing behind cabins.

Great hiking

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.
