    Harrison Bay State Park Campground

    Beautiful but sites are VERY uneven

    I was greatly deceived by the photos and descriptions online. We had site 40 and it was much much shorter than online said and the incline was insane. I would say 90% of the sites in loops B, C, and D should not be sites. Loop A has the most level sites with a lot not having shade though. Site 15 seemed to be the best in the whole park. Leveling our popup was miserable. Most campers we saw come in seemed to be the same as us. First time being there and not realizing the sites are significantly shorter than listed and shown in photos and extremely unlevel. I couldn’t even imagine a tent camper in most sites comfortably with how much of an incline and then slope you’re on. It’s a straight up hill and then it’s tilted to the side too. Sites are also extremely close together which is fine if you plan to be out or on the water a lot but it’s very cramped.

    Bathrooms in loop B were the largest and cleaned daily. Bathrooms were great with the exception of the doors being super small but not an issue really. I’m 6ft and it was just funny seeing over everything.

    Lake is BEAUTIFUL. So many areas to swim and great trails. Good place for pets.

    One host in the entire park and we were lucky to be next to them and listen to their dog park and cry all day and night as they never let him in. Their site is right there when you go in and just trashed with all kinds of stuff. Feels more like a trailer park than state park. Never once saw the hosts and the camp store/office was closed every day we were there (we were there for a week Sunday to Sunday) Our site had quite a bit of trash when we got there. I’m shocked how the bathrooms were kept so clean but sites were not

    They have check in listed at 4pm but every day new campers were there far before 4 which isn’t a problem but helps to know you can really get there anytime.

    Overall the area is amazing with so much to do for everyone. Fishing, hiking, swimming, plenty to do all around. I would come back only for loop A and site 15. Maybe some others in loop A. Unless you have a camper van that you are fine being tilted, I would avoid all loops besides A. We saw a lot of people get there and then leave when they couldn’t park or level their site and there weren’t other options any better for them

    Cell service was great. T-Mobile hotspot was amazing for me to work remote

    Fort Mountain State Park Campground

    4.7 stars

    Spectacular scenery. The campground has two loops, both with nicely spaced out sites. We liked the creekside loop, but lakeside looked very nice as well. The lake is small but cold and clear, probably spring fed. The playground is average and they have a mini golf course that's cool. The camp store is excellent, though a drive from the campground. Also a short drive (or 3 mile hike) away is the star of the show- the overlook, tower and rock wall. Unbelievable views and great rocks to scramble and play on. The history of the mysterious rock Wall is intriguing. A great place to spend a few hours. The trails are numerous and well marked. We didn't see any bears or snakes. Overall a great place.

    James H 'Sloppy' Floyd State Park Campground

    4.5 stars

    Well kept, quiet, forested campground in the foothills of NW GA. It's a small campground and a small state park relative to many, but the two small lakes are pretty and the trails are pleasant. The marble mine is definitely a cool spot and worth the 2 mile round trip. The first 12 sites are a bit closer together and less private, but the remaining sites are bigger and very nice. We enjoyed our spot by the playground. Huge site. Great if you have kids. Site 18 also looked great with a lot of grass and near the bathrooms. Cool little camp store. We enjoyed the peddle boat rental as well. Summerville is 7 minutes away if you need anything.

    Prentice Cooper State Forest Camp

    Good free rest stop

    Nothing crazy, scenic but tricky drive in here. Use the coordinates to find it, Apple Maps will send you to the other side and add a 30/40 min drive. The camping area had 1 shared restroom/porta potty type deal. The area is pretty flat ground with about 10 good spots to tent/small vehicle camp. Came on a Tuesday evening to about half the site being used. There’s signs to get here once you get close.

    Howland's Hidout

    Howland's Hideout is a hidden gem!

    We camped at Howland's Hideout for two nights in our 5th wheel (water & electric hook-up plus they have a sewer dump).

    So conveniently located (approx. 3 miles) from Fall Creek Falls State Park but much less noise and more relaxed.

    The hosts (Kurt and Maria) went above and beyond to be sure we had everything we needed and so enjoyed getting to know them.

    Their two dogs (Star & Sassy) were very friendly and our dog loved playing with them.

    If you are looking for a relaxing spot to camp with great hosts, you should definitely give this place a try.  We can't wait to go back.

    Little Farmie Farm Dispersed

    Private little area

    Small gravel parking area off of what appears to be a drive. Nice open field to possibly setup in. Didn’t drive truck on grass. It was cut and well maintained. Large burn pile and old rv on site. Good place to over night. I visited during the day and was not disturbed.

    Tennessee Wall Camp

    Nice little site for tent camping

    You take a sometimes single lane road to get there. Very windy at points. There is a parking lot to hold 4+ cars. You walk 20’ on trail to first campsite. Nice wooded area with a trail to the water. There are 5 sites with fire pits. There is one private site past the marked site if you keep going you will find a large level gravel lot with a single fire pit that would be much better for van or truck camping. Past this point it turns back into residential.

    Prentice Cooper State Forest Camp

    Nice wooded spot

    Campground is primitive with a clean vault toilet. There are approx 12 campsites with fire pits. Across the main gravel road is a large spot for off-roading / side by side parking. Main gravel road to campground is smooth no ruts. Campground should accommodate 24’ class b or so. My 18’ truck had lots of room and space for awning.
