    Fort Mountain State Park Campground

    Great Campground

    We love camping at Fort Mountain. Its usually a good bit cooler due to the elevation, and the private wooded campsites make tent camping in Georgia’s summer heat much more enjoyable. Good hiking and things to do nearby.

    411 River Rest Campground

    Great Facilities

    Campground is next to SR 411. Excellent facilities and staff. We stayed for 3 days and had an enjoyable time. Fished in the pond played corn hole. Ran our dogs every day at the dog park. Will definitely head up there again

    Diamond Lure Campground

    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!!!

    Calhoun A-OK Campground

    Needs renovation

    Great for an overnight stop while traveling.
    Not so great for a fun weekend.
    No firepits or tables at many of the sites.
    Bathroom seriously dated.

    Dog park looked clean, if small. Playground had some "old school" equipment great for older kids.

    411 River Rest Campground

    Nice Rv/tent campground

    This is a great place to camp, we enjoy staying here they also have some tent sites, wifi is a bit spotty which is to be expected since everyone is trying to use it so either use your hotspot or a mobile internet provider and you will be fine, dog park was well kept, playground has plenty of options for the little ones, the splash pad was a hit for our little ones as they enjoyed it, check in was a breeze as the office folks are very informative as to the surrounding place’s you can visit all really at a relatively short drive…your close to your neighbor but not to close “if that makes since”….will definitely stay here again

    McKinney Campground

    Ok for a quick get away

    The US Army Corp of Engineers manages McKinney Campground on Lake Allatoona near Acworth. It’s close to home, so it’s a quick trip. There are 150 tent/RV sites. Fees range from $24 - $28 per night. Some are waterfront sites and have higher rates. The sites range from 21 ft. To 60 ft., most are back-in sites, with 50 amp electric and water hookups. We were in site 136, which was pretty good size. There are 2 sand beach swimming beaches. The Campground also has showers/bathroom facilities (I counted 7 shower buildings) and a coin laundry facility. There is a a dump station available. Wildlife sightings are frequent & and there is a dock & boat ramp. Reservations can be made through the Corp of Engineers-877-444-6777. But some sites are first-come, first-served campsites that cannot be reserved. One down side is they have a limit of 2 pets per site.

    Stone Mountain Park Campground

    So close to me and I love it.

    Lived in Georgia my whole life and yet my first time to Stone Mountain was literally three years ago. Now we have an annual pass and go all the time. This place is world renowned for its fireworks and laser show but you have to go off the pavement to truly fall in love with Stone Mountain! This place is great for everyone. I mean everyone, from free runners to hikers and all you folk that like to “camp” in your RVs. Visit this place anytime of year and you will not be disappointed. Apparently it’s rated #1 as the best place to camp in Georgia. I’m more into the nature only kind of camping but that’s not everyone’s cup a tea. Stone Mountain has something for everyone.
