Red Top Mountain State Park Campground accommodates pets at all campsites with standard leash requirements. The park features water and electric hookups for RVs, plus tent sites and cabins that welcome four-legged companions. Diamond Lure Campground provides dedicated pet amenities including a dog bath, dog beach, and dog park, making it exceptionally accommodating for campers traveling with animals. McKinney Campground limits campers to two pets per site while maintaining pet-friendly waterfront locations. Campground hosts at Clark Creek North enforce common pet rules while providing clean facilities and shaded sites. Most campgrounds in the region maintain standard pet policies requiring leashes and proper waste disposal.
Hiking trails throughout Stone Mountain Park welcome dogs on perimeter paths, though pets are prohibited on the trail to the summit. Lake Allatoona offers multiple pet-friendly Corps of Engineers campgrounds with waterfront sites where dogs can enjoy shoreline access. Several campgrounds feature fenced dog parks for off-leash exercise, with Diamond Lure's comprehensive pet facilities receiving particular praise from visitors. Wildlife sightings are frequent at McKinney Campground, so keeping pets leashed is essential for their safety. The region's moderate climate makes spring and fall ideal for camping with pets, though summer heat requires additional precautions for dogs. Campgrounds typically enforce quiet hours to minimize barking disturbances, and most provide designated pet waste stations throughout the grounds.

GuideWe 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.
GuideCampground 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
ScoutThis 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!!!
TravelerGreat 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.
ScoutThis 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
GuideLived 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.
GuideAwesome hiking. Extremely pet friendly, lakeside campsite
GuideSeveral options available. RV hook ups, camp grounds, and yurt rentals. I did not rent a yurt but have heard good things from friends who have. Very clean camp grounds, if you don't mind a familes close by. Can set up next to the lake. Pet friendly and several children and families around. Ton of activities around stone mountain park.
ScoutWe are at spot 97 and was suppose to get 44. The host at the front office gave us a different spot that would be easier access to our 40ft 5th wheel. The view is fantastic. We brought 2 dogs which they enjoyed the scenery. They are firm on making sure pet owners have their leash on and do not free roam. A lot of deer just walking around. Bathrooms are in good shape. We plan on staying a week. No Wi-Fi so we are using hotspots on our cells. We have Verizon and showing 2 bar LTE.
Lake Allatoona serves as the central feature for most campgrounds near Andersonville, Georgia, with over 12,000 acres of water surface and 270 miles of shoreline. The region sits at approximately 840 feet elevation with a moderate climate that varies from hot, humid summers to mild winters with occasional frost. Most campgrounds in the area are operated by the US Army Corps of Engineers and feature varying degrees of lakefront access.
Hiking trails at Stone Mountain Park: Dogs are welcome on many trails, though not all. "We had an amazing visit!! All the staff were extremely helpful and sweet. Shower house was clean, laser show fabulous and while hiking we saw a lot of beautiful wildlife!!!" according to Jennifer T. at Stone Mountain Park Campground.
Boating on Lake Allatoona: Multiple campgrounds offer boat ramps and direct lake access. "Our site is very private (we only used the website map to pick an available site...props to my wife for selecting the site...we are in site 22 in case you were wondering). I didn't get a chance to snap pictures or videos but it is nestled along the shore of Lake Allatoona," says Matt H. from Payne Campground.
Paddle sports from shoreline sites: Many campgrounds offer direct water access for kayaking and paddle boarding. "My husband and son enjoyed fishing and paddle boarding right behind our site. There was a lot to see and do at Stone Mountain," reports Susan K. from Stone Mountain Park.
Fishing in secluded coves: Find quiet fishing spots at several lakefront campgrounds. "We love to fish and we always catch several kinds but the crappie are so delicious," shares Robin M. at Mckinney Campground.
Waterfront tent sites with hard tent pads: Many campgrounds offer tent sites with lake views. "Tent sites right on the water. Plenty of shade. Will definitely be back soon!!! Highly recommend!!" notes Stephanie J. about Mckaskey Creek Campground.
Clean shower facilities with hot water: Most Corps of Engineers campgrounds maintain well-kept bathhouses. "Very clean and well laid out. Very crowded right now due to people looking to get outdoors during this crisis," reports Scott K. about Marina Resort - Allatoona Landing.
Spacious, shaded sites: Campers appreciate the generous spacing between sites at most campgrounds. "One of the smaller campgrounds in the area but well worth it if you can get a site. 2 dumpstations. the only downfall is the beach area- it is in a cove and the water level is often down," states Scarlett W. about Victoria Campground.
Beach areas for swimming: Several campgrounds feature designated swimming areas. "We spent a weekend here in section O. It was a nice, spacious campsite with a nice picnic table and partial view of the lake even though we didn't have 'lake view' site," mentions Tonya B. from Stone Mountain Park Campground.
Railroad noise affects some campgrounds: Trains pass near several sites. "I know, the campground entrance is located between 2 railroad crossings and each have low ground clearance and located in turns. Also the trains run pretty close by the campground roughly on the hour," warns Logan from Marina Resort - Allatoona Landing.
Varied terrain and leveling challenges: Many sites require significant leveling equipment. "Nice campgrpund and really enjoyed that we were on the water. However, many of the sites are very steep and slanted and causes difficulty getting your trailer or RV into the site. Makes leveling very difficult," cautions Gary L. about McKinney Campground.
Limited full hookup availability: Not all sites offer sewer connections. "Most sites don't have sewer hookup but there is a dump station and randomly placed gray water dumps which aren't really accessible while parked unless you have a 50'+ hose," notes Logan from Marina Resort - Allatoona Landing.
Seasonal operation: Several campgrounds close during winter months. "This is a wonderful, scenic campground on beautiful Lake Allatoona. The sites are color coded depending on size and there is even a yurt to rent," explains Suzy E. about Red Top Mountain State Park Campground.
Playgrounds for children: Several campgrounds offer dedicated play areas. "First time camping here and absolutely love it. Very quiet (you can setup a hammock and take a nice nap) and kid friendly with a nice playground, kept very clean," says Diana H. about Mckaskey Creek Campground.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Children can spot various animals around campsites. "This isnt for backpackers but for camping with your family, its good. They have water and outlets and very very clean bathrooms. Like cleaner than a Publix bathroom. Kid friendly," reports Cris C. about Red Top Mountain State Park.
Tent camping with kids: Consider noise levels when choosing sites for families. "The guy at the gate was nice I guess. It's definitely not quiet unless you're in an RV. And I guess we camped on the wrong morning too because they started mowing the lawn at around 8:30-9 am after listening the highway all night," warns Jennifer T. about McKinney Campground.
Swimming beaches for children: Several campgrounds offer designated swimming areas. "We had a spot right out to the water, it was big enough for us and we could see and say hello to those around us, but did not feel tight at all. The girls swum in the lake," mentions Marianne M. from McKinney Campground.
Access challenges for larger rigs: Some campgrounds have narrow or steep entrances. "Heavily wooded sites that are not well maintained. Very narrow roads in the campground with lots of pot holes. Not the easiest state park to pull a travel trailer in. Sites were very narrow," cautions Brock D. about Red Top Mountain State Park.
Site selection based on RV size: Choose sites carefully based on length and width requirements. "As our rig is 40', we needed to watch the trees on a couple of corner turns and then pull down into our site. We got the rig into the levelist position possible to get our rig's steps down to an assessable position and fairly level," advises MickandKarla W. about Clark Creek North Campground.
Dump station congestion: Plan dump station use during off-peak times. "Only downsides for us was the distance to the trash dumpsters, and the dump site gets really busy. They could really use 2 trash/dump sites as this is a large campground and it stays full," notes Joy W. about McKinney Campground.
Dog friendly campgrounds near Andersonville: Most RV sites accommodate pets with standard restrictions. "We LOVE McKinney Campground. Stayed multiple times," shares Imagine C. about this pet-welcoming campground.
