Nestled between Athens and Atlanta, Fort Yargo is a 1,816-acre park located in Georgia state. Its namesake comes from a log fort that was constructed by settlers who, at the time, built it to protect themselves against the Creek and Cherokee. Nowadays, visitors flock to this park to enjoy the variety of outdoor recreation and activities.
Apart from all the recreation the park has to offer, it also provides some of the most gorgeous views in the Eastern region of the United States. Here, folks can enjoy over 20 miles of hiking and bike trails. Fort Yargo State Park is also a common location for outdoor weddings and other types of special events and celebrations.
Those looking to stay overnight have an abundance of options to choose from. The park offers 12 walk-in campsites, 13 “adventure” cabins, 40 RV and tent campsites, group shelters, and even lakeside yurts for anyone wanting a true “glamping” experience. The fees for staying overnight range from $25-135, and do not include the ParkPass fee. The ParkPass fee is $5 per day for passenger vehicles carrying a maximum of 12 people, and for passenger vehicles with additional occupants the fee is $30 per day. Additionally, there is an annual option for $50-75 per year. Luckily, visitors are only required to pay for a ParkPass once during the entirety of their stay.
The main attractions to this park are the variety of activities such as disc golf, mini golf, kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, swimming, fishing, and geocaching. Disc golf has proven to be a challenge for many visitors, at least partly due to the fact that it's a densely wooded course. This park is also home to a gorgeous 260-acre lake with a seasonal beach. Visitors can enjoy a day at the lake on one of the two beach pavilions and fishing is a welcome activity as well.
$34 - $36 / night

This place was great. We arrived after hours and spoke with the camp host he told us we can pay online or in the morning. We drove all day in the sun and due to hurricane Helene aftermath we were limited on where to stay. It was nice to pull in and it be nice and cool with the trees. The stars popped out at night and could be seen through the tree tops. Showers were hot.

This is a little gem of a state park. Indian Springs State park has a lot to offer. The camp sites are the other side of the lake from the group and public shelters/picnic areas etc so you feel away from everything. The park offers a museum, trails, kayak rentals and more.
The multi-purpose hike connects to the Dauset Nature Center trails and is worth taking the extra mile or so, at least, to go visit the nature center. The hike is rated as quite hard on All Trails and similar apps but, in reality, is fine for most levels. I am recovering from a back injury and this was my first 5+ mile hike in years. It was more than manageable.
One downside of the parks location is that you are close to Jackson and neighboring towns. There were some noises (e.g. loud cars) that could be heard from our site at night. It wasn't constant or overly intrusive. The main complaint was that other humans in the park seemed to not have consideration for their camping neighbors and enjoyed driving golf carts around while playing music at full volume. That can happen anywhere though and maybe shouldn't be a 'negative' for the park.
The park is well kept, comfort stations are fine and staff very friendly and helpful.

Hosts were amazing and accommodating. We stayed for 2 nights for a soccer tournament and it was the perfect location. Not on the listing was an outdoor shower and my sweaty soccer son loved it. The ceiling fan and air conditioning unit do a great job of cooling in this GA heat. There was a small desk where I was able to do some work. Will definitely book again.
Guide
Site 7 is separate from the others and has the whole point except there is a trail behind the site. No easy, sandy water access unless you go to the nice beach they have.
Traveler
Tons of things to do train rides, gondola ride to the top, hiking and fireworks. Stayed in a safari tent a little worn down with duck tape on the screen. However, clean bathroom/showers and fun pool. A couple of crazy squirrels visit us every morning.

This was my second time here and I wasn’t a huge fan of this site. Otherwise, beautiful campground with lots of shade and plenty of trails. Limited to no service out here.
GuideI love this campground! It feels pretty secluded from the city because of the long drive in. Beautiful sites and plenty of trails nearby. My friend and I brought our hammocks and enjoyed a very peaceful weekend.
LegendWe booked a last minute night here for Easter weekend to get out of the city. It one of the only places available due to our last minute decision. We stayed in Loop A. It’s smaller than Loop B. With plenty of trees for hammocks, we had plenty of room for both of our tents, 2 hammocks, and both cars. Loop A is in walking distance to the beach area/day use area. It was so peaceful! There’s one bathroom in Loop A. With 2 stalls and one shower in the women’s portion. I’m assuming then men’s is the same. I’d definitely stay here again! I have Verizon and I had one bar here. Enough to send/receive a text but that’s about it.
ScoutThe park was quiet and clean. Bathroom and bath house area kept very clean with plenty of HOT water. Site 26 is a pull through with kinda odd connection placement but we made it work.
RangerBeautiful park with lots of activities available for the whole family. The park is well maintained and clean!

TravelerThe campground and lake was beautiful with a few easy hiking trails and clean restrooms.
We visited in November and there were not very many other campers which was a good thing since the campsite are much closer together than we prefer.
There was a Burn Ban in effect while we were there, and sadly, the reservation system on Recreation.gov app made no mention of that ban. A camping trip with no campfire is not ideal to say the least.

Lake Sinclair, GA: (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good
Summary: I have stopped by to camp for 4 years. This time we stayed in the electric, Loop A which has 5 sites. There were other users there who were concerning. One was what looks to be a homeless extended stay occupant in a trailer. The other was a tent camping couple who decided to camp with their tents in the RV only area. That said, the lower loops, Loop A and Loop D are more visible to the camp host, thus a safer feeling. If you don’t want electric hookup, those loops are a nicer area of the campground.
(70 yr olds in 17’ trailer with a desire for a campsite that has at least some visual privacy - after the trailer is in the spot.)
Overall Rating: 1.5 for the electric sites - they are not necessarily attractive, out in the open, and no visual separation between sites. They are moderately spaced. The non-electric sites(no generators allowed as per website) area 4 rating. There are spacious and well spaced sites in the Loop B. Many sites are set back from the campground loop road.
Price 2023: $ 10.5 for elect site & 4.5 for non-electric site w interagency pass
Usage during visit: Very light - Thanksgiving
Site Privacy: More privacy in non electric sites
Site Spacing: 5 decent sized sites in the electric loop. Non- electric loop has very large sites.
Site surface: Gravel
Reservations: First come, first serve.
Campground Noise: Very quiet. Only one other camper
Road Noise: Too far from a main road to be an issue. From electric sites and from some non electric sites the traffic in the access road can be heard.
Through Traffic in campground: Not through campground. There is on the access road to access the lake. Boaters use this road along with other day users.
Electric Hookup: Loop A, sites 1 - 5 only
Sewer Hookup: No
Dump Station: Yes, just following the check in station on the right.
Potable Water Available: At electric sites.
Generators: Not allowed. This is a shame since this campground is so lightly used.
Bathroom/ Shower House: Yes - In Loop B (services both Loop A and B). Hot water worked only in the woman’s shower. The hot water in the shower in Loop D works fine and is in a little nicer facility. Drive to that one for a shower. These are pretty old buildings, but pretty clean. Bathroom only house in the day use area is new and nicer to be in.
Pull Throughs: Site 5 is a pull through.
Cell Service (AT&T): 1 to 2 bars.
Setting: In a deciduous forest. Lower loop( non-electric) has a lakeside (or two)trailer sites .
Weather: Cool and partial sun.
Bugs: None
Solar: Depends on the site and probably none when there is foliage.
Host: Yes. Located in D-loop .
Rig size: Not suited for big rigs.
Sites: Loop A is the Electric loop with 5 sites. Loop A is not so great. There are beautiful extra large sites in non-electric/no generator lower Loop B. Loop C has been “temporarily”, as per signage, closed for at least 4 years. Loop D has smaller sites, many of which look to be tent sites. Some of these sites are nicely located close to the lakeside in both B and D.
LegendNice state park with easy sites. Plenty large enough. Has grey tank hookup which is nice. Lots of trails to hike.

GuideI love this campground. Sites are usually clean and staff are friendly. This is my second time camping here. I come for the Highland Games here. Sites are close so it would not benefit you if you want seclusion. Bathrooms are clean. And in October there are different activities for the kids. Fall fest and Halloween parade.
TravelerWe camped over the Labor Day weekend. The park was a little pricey but the lake is nice. There is a pool, a playground & a gathering area. There are a lot of sites as well as Yurts. On top of the $70 a night you must pay a $20 parking fee. The full use of the state park is $39.95 a day.
ScoutWe had so much fun we spent the whole weekend at hard labor creek at park camping and swimming at the beach it was very convenient the restrooms and showers were near the campsite so it wasn't a long walk. Def will be going back

Typical of KOA, the sites are close together, but other than, great. Good option for anyone making a day of the Outlets.
RangerMeh I have mixed feelings for hard labor. This is actually my first time camping at their campground. I did find the camp area pretty nice. I did have concerns about some of the trees as I recall last year they camp host had an incident. My issue for me was I used a ground tent this time versus my roof top tent or camper. Man my site choice was horrible! Site 24 turned into a pool. I had to move my tent to RV vehicle parking area. I did consider trenching the site but didn’t want to cause property damage with the rail road ties. Other than the flooding of my site and making adjustments not a bad experience. Just noticed a lot of water issues throughout the park and runoff.
GuideWe were only there 1 night and came in late, but beautiful location with a lake view. They have a 2 night min, but you can pay for 1 night. However, you need to do it by cash only. There is no way to pay w a cc or leave a cc number for them to charge. Also, be ready to pay an additional $20 fee to enter the park. So, at the min rate of $45 you’re still at $65 at least for the first night.
The fireworks were very loud, but it didn’t bother us. There’s also train noise. So, if you’re sensitive to that, prob not the bet choice for you. But this park is gorgeous with a golf course and lots to see if you can handle that :)
GuideWe visited this campground April 23rd and stayed for 2 nights. Campground is very clean and peaceful. We dragged our feet on booking so ended up with limited sites to choose from. Site 49, still a great site just not as private as some of the sites on roundabouts.
Site 49 has a slightly mild downhill walk about 30 yards to get to the edge of the water. Not really an area you would jump in and swim at though, stagnant water in the corner. We used it for setting up our hammocks and used it for the view of the lake.
There is also a small old town right outside the campground with a small ice cream place / museum and old market with minimum things in a pinch.
There was also another campsite within 10-15 minutes of Indian Springs and they had a trail you could walk along the waterfalls and river.

The staff were able to get me added and discounted my staff which was nice. The place is broken up with many cottages, yurts and other tent areas to reserve. We took to the path ways with our dog and enjoyed the many animals roaming through the woods. I wasn't able to get on a raft this time, yet saw many enjoying the fishing and lake. Overall a quiet place with good facilities. Accomodations for every camper were available.
GuideWe had a wonderful spring break visit in March 2023. We stayed in, according to the map, red#279. Please go by camp site number when there though. It was a little confusing when we arrived as the signs had changed. It is a number range now. The site needed the leaves removed but it didn't stop us. We fit the site, it was a little snug but we loved it!!! The view was fantastic and just what I was looking for! I know they have been making some improvements and hope they get to the inner side of the circles soon. I would love to go back to this area again. I would suggest an outside rug to keep from taking everything in. It was amazing to have!!! I would stay in this area again anytime!
ScoutStayed several nights in RV site. Bath house had only one toilet due to the other being out of order. Bathroom was not clean. Person drive through the park firing a gun at 4 am and the police were called. Also appeared to be done "full time residents" with dog that barked all night.
GuideClean and well-maintained including the facilities.

Not much to say about it pretty much all the sites around the lake area the same in Hall county Gwinnett it was very peaceful nice people was able to find plenty of outdoor stuff to do hope other people enjoy it too
