    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!

    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.

    Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground

    Cabins are definitely the highlight here!

    The primitive sites (for tents) were a bit close and not as private as I like. 

    They offer platform camping and those sites seem a bit more secluded (and are in a separate area from the tent sites). 

    There are 4 cabins available to reserve and they have great amenities (running water, electricity)

    We looked at them once there and think next time we will do this with the kids. 

    2 rangers live in the park full time and there is a large welcome center/ gift shop with basics for sale should you forget anything.

    Excellent camping near metro ATL

    On the fringe of the Metro Atlanta area, this campground is located on all sports Lake Allatoona. It is well maintained with large, well spaced lots, tent pads, fire rings with grill grates, clean bathroom facilities, and even a laundry room. Many lots have lake views and pull thru lots are available. Campers have access to miles of hiking trails, picnic areas, beach area, playgrounds and even miniature golf. Red Top Mountain state park holds frequent special learning activities for children through adult throughout the year. It’s a great place for a weekend getaway or a nice long relaxing vacation.

    Stone Mountain Park Campground

    Got all your basic amenities

    We signed up last minute at the night registration which was really convenient and easy, the maps were legible and easy to navigate so we found our spot very quickly. Campgrounds are different sizes and we got a smaller one with a spigot, outlet, picnic table and a grill. We did not have a fire pit. Bathrooms/showers are close and it’s a great park. Only thing is parking is a little expensive to get into the park and it can be quite crowded

    Margaritaville

    Fancy resort

    We stayed here for two nights on our way from Virginia to Florida. It is a very nice family friendly vacation resort rather than overnight stay. But we enjoyed all the amenities. We had a pave site full hookup pull thru with lake view. Very easy to get in and out, private and quiet, we had a picnic table, fire ring and bbq grill. I was most excited about drink cart every evening!! We were here on Monday and Tuesday, extremely quiet. Empty beach/restaurant area and beach bar. You will have to drive around the resort or rent a golf cart. They also have a tram from rv resort to water park. There is a one time $20 fee per vehicle to enter, pay at gate. The weather wasn’t the best, wish we could have used the boat ramp to launch our kayak.


Guide to Austell

Cabin camping near Austell, Georgia offers access to Allatoona Lake with 270 miles of shoreline and over 12,000 acres of water. The area sits at approximately 840 feet elevation with average summer temperatures reaching 89°F, making waterfront cabin options particularly desirable during peak season. Winter temperatures typically range from 30-55°F, with most cabin facilities maintaining year-round operations.

What to do

Hiking opportunities: Red Top Mountain State Park Campground features extensive trail networks with varying difficulty levels. "Red Top Mountain State Park is beautiful and Lake Allatoona is large... There are plenty of opportunities to hike, fish and boat."

Fishing access: Marina Resort - Allatoona Landing provides shoreline fishing and boat launch facilities for cabin guests. "Very nice lake campground, paved parking pads, lots of foliage, a good bit of lakefront sites, level pads with electric, water, sewer, picnic table, and fire ring."

Water recreation: Stone Mountain Park Campground offers swimming and boating options just minutes from cabin areas. "My husband and son enjoyed fishing and paddle boarding right behind our site. There was a lot to see and do at Stone Mountain."

Family activities: Most cabin facilities include playgrounds and organized activities. "They have a pool and 2 playgrounds. Great for kids."

What campers like

Cabin privacy levels: Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground offers more secluded cabin options. "We loved our spot especially #103 in Campground 1, lots of privacy for our 21ft Lance TT. Backing in was not difficult even though we had to raise the right tire 3" to be level."

Accessible amenities: Most cabin facilities maintain clean bathroom facilities with hot showers. "The bathrooms were cleaner than my bathroom at home. The dogs loved the hiking and the river is beautiful with the fall colors."

Convenience to Atlanta: Many cabins sit within 45 minutes of the city. "This is close enough to metro to make for a quick getaway. The trail around the lake is good and in the winter it is not too far north has to be too cold to get outside in a tent."

Lakefront options: Several properties offer direct water views from cabin sites. "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."

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Many waterfront cabins book 3-6 months in advance for summer. "Summer is not as booked, but the office hours are terrible, so even if you can't get ahold of anyone don't be afraid to show up during the summer and talk to the camp host."

Noise factors: Some cabin areas experience train or highway noise. "The name Red Top Mountain is derived from the red soil in the area that was popular for the mining of abundant iron ore. But don't look for 'mountains' here... you have to travel further north for more dramatic elevation."

Military options: Naval Recreation Site offers military-only cabin facilities with direct lake access. "This is only for military, you have to have ID to prove."

Wi-Fi availability: Most cabin facilities offer limited or unreliable internet. "They claim free WiFi but none available. Free cable with 70 channels luckily."
