    Red Top Mountain State Park Campground

    First time visiting & it won’t be our last

    We’ve been wanting to camp here for a while, but every time we decided to go, it’s been all booked up.... that might have been our fault though, because we like to plan last min trips. 🙂 This time we actually planned it out a few weeks in advance and got a nice spot.

    I really liked the booking process, because it shows you exactly what spot is available and it even shows you a pic of the site you’ll be getting. Our site was only $35 a night + a $5 parking pass.

    The campground has a lot to offer! It has a boat access point, fishing, walking and biking trails, a small putt putt course, playground area for the kids and best of all it’s pet friendly! I can’t go without saying the employees are so friendly and helpful!

    Campsite wise, it has electric, water, cable, a huge picnic table & a grill/fire pit. The only negative was it wasn’t a full hookup. 😔Something else that I really loved was all of the huge natural rocks located all throughout the campground. Each campsite seemed to have their own collection of rocks and it really added to the experience. Another plus is that it has a dump station right at the exit, so on your way out you can take care of your last minute steps to finish up your camping experience. 😁

    If you’re in the area I would highly recommend this campground! You can’t go wrong!

    Fort Mountain State Park Campground

    Memorial Day Weekend was Awesome..

    We spent Memorial Day weekend at Fort Mountain and it was awesome. We camped in a Pioneer campsite #2 which is a 3 sided pavilion that would easily sleep 8-10 people if you were only using bed rolls and sleeping bags. Pioneer camping has its challenges, but each site has an outhouse and a picnic table and prebuilt fire ring. There is an original fire tower on top of the mountain at the end of the trail. A Great Lake for kayaks and fishing with Jon boats, paddle boats, and canoes avaialble for rentals. Lots of cool lake side tent sites and trailer sites are also avaialble. We have camped several times with our scout troop. Lots of cool trails surround the park. There were fireworks in neighboring towns a short,15 min drive both nights. The towns near by have stores and food if your not I the mood to cook. The history is well documented on displays all around the park. And the there is a station that broadcasts at the end of one of the public service roads.

    Stone Mountain Park Campground

    Extraordinary Attractions

    Stone Mountain hardly needs another glowing review, but it is a pleasure to stay there. First, everything is contained and available. The views of the lake, and, yes, the mountain are gorgeous. There is a nice spacious check-in store. Your trash is picked up constantly from your site. Each site has a deck, a grill with a propane tank already attached, a picnic table, and a fire pit, electric and sewer hook ups. The sites are close together, but the decks are pretty private. If you bike, hike, run or like trails, boating and fishing, all are right there. It helps to have a car/truck, as the place is pretty immense, but my neighbors had a Class C and were throughly enjoying mountain biking to everything. Another neighbor with a gorgeous Class A was driving his towed truck to a neighboring Petco. There is everything. Deer roam in the morning and at night, and if golf is your sport of choice, Stone Mountain has a highly rated public course. The staff is very friendly. I liked the purple area near the playground and pool. The sites seemed a little more private. It’s not cheap, and I don’t know what discounts might be available. But, if you’re in or around Atlanta, this is the place to go. It will NOT disappoint.

    Calhoun A-OK Campground

    Peaceful Campground Named Cedar Creek

    This campground has good shade and pretty surroundings.

    There is a dog playground, horseshoes, salt water pool, laundry, and A/C bathrooms. Our ate did not have sewer but there is a dump station. Pretty little spots throughout the campground. Very little traffic noise from highway and there is a campground peacock that can be heard.

    Only real downsides for us was that our campsite didn’t have a picnic table or fire ring. Would definitely stay here again.

    I could live in this cottage!

    Red Top Mountain State Park has it all - Allatoona Lake, a marina, fishing, boating, kayaking, camping, lakeside cottages, yurt, camp store, beach, miniature golf, food vendor, etc. i’ve Done it all now including a 2-bedroom Cottage for my birthday celebration. Travel 40 minutes north of Atlanta & 10 minutes from historic Cartersville and you’re in another world. I’ve visited at least 5 times and can’t wait for my next visit.

    Fort Mountain State Park Campground

    Way, way, way up

    Ft Mountain State Park off I75 Dalton, Ga. A bit of a drive through the interesting,,scenic Georgia countryside. Situated between Chatsworth and Ellijay, I don't think Georgia believes in gaurdrails. The drive up from Chatsworth was a blast, if you love roads that turn and swerve and give you some awesome views. On the way out I took the route through Ellijay, this is where the population built their residences. In the town of Ellijay you will find some antique shops and other varied small businesses, a good break from nature if your in the area for a bit.

    The reason for the 3 star is I was not impressed by the staff. One of the Park Attendants was very nice and approachable. The other three younger employees were rude and too busy to look up from their phones to say hi.

    Otherwise I totally enjoyed my visit. Check your reservation and preference. The campsites are named appropriately, you can have easy access to the lake from one camping area and more privacy in the other. Both have trail access.

    Facilities were okay and maintained. The campsites were a little close and stacked around each other throughout the woods. I would pick an outer site if you have the option. Gravel pads, picnic table and fire ring included.

    The lake loop was gravel , Blu was not happy and it would not be stroller friendly(to me run off into the lake would be an issue). Water craft rental , nice beach and crafts, plus bilingual signage.
