Hamburg State Park Campground

We absolutely loved our time at Hamburg State Park. We were in town for a baseball tournament and decided to pull the camper and are so glad we did. Site 21 was right next to the fishing pier and had beautiful views of the water and sunsets. We were right across from the playground which was a hit with our 6&3 year old! The bathroom/bath house was a little bit aways but we used the camper so not an issue for us, but might do it for others. Everything was clean, everyone was quiet and it was not overly crowded. We had a very enjoyable experience here!

We had been planning on staying at Hamburg for years and finally did. Great stay and a very quiet area. The large mill pond also known as Hamburg lake is great for canoeing of fishing. Many of the sites back onto the lake. Sites are level and the one we were in was only 30A power but had 2 30A plugs and breakers. Using the right adapter and we had more than the 50A to make everything happy. We had our canoe pulled up right behind the site and was able to paddle the whole pond in a couple hours. The Mill tour is great when they have it and up until covid the mill was a working one. We stayed Memorial day weekend 2025

Wonderful park and fantastic staff, there is a small general store next to the mill. There were crafts and a mill tour while we visited.

Wonderful campgrounds. Very clean and well kept. New clean bath facilities. Almost all sites are in the water with half shaded. Highly recommend!

We loved this campground because it’s in the middle of nowhere and it was so peaceful. We stayed for a week during the kids’ spring break. Such a beautiful setting with nearly all the campsites on the water. There’s not interstates, trains, airports nearby so it’s truly a quiet getaway. There’s a new bathhouse that was nice and clean. Plenty to do with boats, kayaks, paddle boats to rent. The staff and Rangers were very accommodating and welcoming. Campsites were nicely shaded. Just so picturesque! Would love to come back!

Today was beautiful. We took the aqua cycle out. It can sit four people comfortably. Fished and walked around a little bit. Great customer service.

Great place to camp. Friendly staff, great fishing, and new clean bathrooms. Been there several times and will continue.

Nice place, kept neat and clean. Several spaces though fairly close together water and electricity, dependable small dump station easily accessible as well. 

All most all sites are literally right on the lake. Extremely quite and literally in the middle of nowhere. If you want to rest and relax in solitude, this is you place

Oct 26-28, 2021.  Site#6

Campground was very quiet, relaxing.  Campground has 30 sites and was full the weekend of our visit.  Only negative to the park, although somewhat centrally located, there is only one bathhouse for the campground.  

Sites 1-20 get the morning sun, 21-30 get the afternoon sun.  Trees provided good shade.  Our site was fairly level, no boards needed.  

Firewood was available at the office and campground host site.  The office staff was very welcoming.

Definitely one of the better parks we have camped.

We stayed in site 25 for 2 nights (Th and Fr) in early Dec. The campground was pretty empty on the Thursday night but was full on Friday night. Even when full, the campground was pretty quiet. There is a playground and picnic pavilion across the road from this site. There is a streetlight right in front of this site - maybe the only one in the campground. Our RV blocked most of the light from our picnic area, but thought it worth noting if you like star gazing or want a darker site at night. The bathroom/shower is pretty small but was heated. Firewood available from the camp host. We walked the trail from the campground to the mill and did part of the red trail - not amazing trails but definitely pleasant walks without needing to drive. Beautiful sunset views from this site. Would definitely stay here again. (If you’re traveling alone, be careful to not book the “buddy sites” which we almost did - sites 17 & 18 I think?)

We stayed at Hamburg State Park campground again this past weekend. It was just as great as the first time. We were in site 19 right on the water. It was quiet, peaceful and relaxing. There no ATT cell coverage, and about 1 bar of Verizon. We visited the grist mill, road bikes, kayaked and enjoyed being disconnected for the weekend. We love this campground.

We camped here a few weeks ago on week long journey through Georgia and Alabama. This was one of best campgrounds we experienced. Large, clean, spacious campsites. Very friendly staff. Right on the lake. Great for photos and fishing. We will be going back.

We went to Hamburg to try out our new rooftop tent and work out any bugs. It was early April and a bit colder than we anticipated, but still fun. We got site 27, which is absolutely beautiful with easy water access (probably good for kayaks and canoes, but the lake isn’t big enough for boats and there is no swimming allowed due to gators).

The walk from site 27 to the bathroom was a bit of a bear, especially in the dark. The way the park is laid out, I think all sites are about the same distance from the bath house (which was very clean the whole stay). Also, sites 4 and up are all water sites, though the layout of some of them is very confusing.

Be aware that there is zero cell service (of any kind) here, so if you’re looking to do any work or keep in touch, you’ll have to drive to a different part of the park for Wi-Fi at the main office.

The grist mill wasn’t open due to COVID but several folks were fishing in the area.

Beautiful level sites,most on the water. Nice playground for kids. Hiked the yellow trail (1/2) mile with a 4yr old, was wide and clean. Will return.

Great get away for nothing but quietness. No internet, no nothing. Just a peaceful lake escaping reality. Almost every campsite is on the lake but 3 spots.

reserved a site on spur of the moment after i found one on the water and 50amp. once arrived at the park determined all the sites, but 3 were good and on the water. the trails were good but the white trail needed some maintance. did a tour of the museum and grist mill which was very intresting. park staff were super friendly. lakews alot bigger than i expected but there are rulles about what motors are allowed. over all super nice and very quite park. support our state parks to help keep them maintaines and open.

Very large sites. Very quiet. All but 3 sites are on the lake. Sites 1and 2 are primitive - water, electric and no water view. Site 3 has a view of the water but no direct access for your kayak or canoe. Sites 4-19 have sunrise views. Site 20 sits on the point by itself but has no shade. We stayed in site 21 that was private, shaded and had great access to the water. Sites 21-30 have sunset views. Sites 4-30 have direct water access. They have several buddy sites and several pull throughs. There is one bath house which is older but relatively clean. I never saw anyone else in the bath house. It does have a family bath/shower room. There is a nice shaded playground with a horseshoe pit. Very little to no outside traffic. There is a museum and gristmill and nice park office. If you want a quiet stay to fish and relax this is a great park. They do have 3 trails but we enjoyed the relaxation so much we didn't do them. Maybe next time.

Wonderful views, beautiful sunsets, great fishing and a peaceful place to stay! We woke up to a breathtaking sunrise and enjoyed a cup of coffee with the view. Most sites have a few of the lake and are spaced out. It was quiet and peaceful, just what we were looking forward to. Easy to get in and out of site, check in was quick and easy. Bathrooms and showers were very clean. We will be back soon!

First time camping there. Beautiful site on the lake. Had a great time hiking and visiting the gristmill.

Lovely big mill pond with campsites right on the water. Quiet area, will definitely go back.
