Best Glamping near Calhoun, GA

Several Georgia glamping destinations surround Calhoun, with Cloudland Canyon State Park, Fort Mountain State Park, and Amicalola Falls State Park offering comfortable yurt accommodations equipped with modern amenities. These elevated canvas structures feature real furniture, electricity, and climate control systems for year-round comfort. Most yurts include queen-sized beds with proper mattresses, private decks with scenic views, and access to nearby bathhouses with hot showers. Red Top Mountain State Park provides similar yurt experiences with plush bedding, ceiling fans, and screened windows that allow natural breezes while keeping insects out. One visitor noted, "Staying in the yurts at Cloudland Canyon was like hotel comfort but surrounded by nature—clean, private, and with fantastic mountain views."

The surrounding area's glamping sites combine wilderness immersion with premium comforts across all seasons. Honea's Holler offers a boutique camping experience with its upscale canvas accommodations and private bathrooms. Most locations provide fire pits with cooking grates, picnic tables, and proximity to hiking trails that showcase north Georgia's mountain terrain. Fort Mountain's glamping options sit near a 855-acre mountain lake with swimming beaches and boat rentals, while Amicalola Falls glamping puts guests within walking distance of the Southeast's tallest cascading waterfall. According to a camper, "The yurts at Red Top Mountain were surprisingly luxurious with comfortable beds and electricity, plus you're just steps from the lake." Many properties require advance reservations, especially during peak fall foliage season when glamping sites throughout the region typically book several months ahead.

Great place during lightning bug season!
This campground is great! It has clean bathrooms with showers, fire rings with grill grates, lots of hiking, hike to a beautiful waterfall, huge lake to swim or float on a raft, and the lightning bugs were breath taking!!

We stayed at site #39. Next to the trail that leads to the lake. Next to rest room, trash bin, and water spout. This specific site has the driveway and then stairs to the fire/table/tent pad. We set our large tent on the tent pad and a smaller tent on the driveway next to the stairs.

Pros: No reservation needed. Warmish showers. Hiking. Lake to swim in. Beautiful waterfall. Perfect to see millions of lightning bugs. Easy payment (put money in slip and put in bin, and yes they do check). Pets allowed.

Cons: we had the WORST neighbors I’ve ever experienced while camping! The staff warned them about quiet hours but never came back to in force it. Fire ring grill topper was broke off.

DON’T drive up the dirt path, we made that mistake. Take the regular rode. GPS sends you automatically to the dirt road.

Over all I’m defiantly going to camp there again. Well kept and overall has a lot to offer

Cloudland Canyon State Park Campground
Backcountry Camping That's Nicely Balanced
One of my favorite campgrounds in Georgia is at Cloudland Canyon State Park. A small hike from the parking area, there's plenty of space in these woods for a quaint and quiet stay. Our backcountry campground had a fire pit and even a picnic table, and was nestled beside a babbling brook. We set up our tents, hung our hammocks and got cooking as soon as we arrived. The next morning, the sun's early rays could be seen from our tent opening, making for an epic start to the day. There are outhouses nearby and the visitor's center is only a few minutes' drive away if anyone in your camping party desires running water. A great balance! All the hikes around Cloudland are winners, and you can easily spend the weekend there.

Those views tho
Incredible views at a great state park! Stayed three nights over Easter Weekend in the East Rim. The East Rim is located on the main park road and about 5 minutes walk from the Trail Heads. Your camper is on display for all the day trippers but TOTALLY WORTH IT for the majestic views! Your afternoon stroll includes 2 waterfalls, multiple overlooks, woodlands, and gorgeous canyons. We drove over to the West Rim and it was much more woodsy and secluded, but we were there for the walking so did not mind the activity and open sites of the East Rim.

Bathhouse was tidy, stocked, and heated. Could use a deep cleaning, but nothing that was unsanitary. Super hot showers! Washing machine had been removed but did have a sink to hand-wash and a dryer. Each bathhouse in the West Rim was supposed to have laundry as well so could drive over if necessary.

Our site did have plastic and debris scattered around including inside the fire pit, so we left it cleaner than we found it.

Loved the fact that they had aluminum recycling!

The surroundings absolutely deserve 5 stars, just docking one for the trash left at the site. Will be back to tackle more of the trails!

Amicalola Falls State Park Camping
Beautiful park
We stayed at the State park from June 6-9. There are only about 24 sites, some cabins, and some new glamping tents. There is a bathhouse with individual showers. You are fairly close to the lodge. You are also right at the falls. BEWARE- there is a steep 24% grade getting to the campground. The campground was neat, clean, and quiet.

Fort Mountain State Park Campground
Great Campground
We 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.

Clean, well-maintained, phenomenal scenery
Some sites are a bit close together, others are more private. We were on 29. A bit close to neighbor. Separate fire pit area with separate grill was a nice feature. Very nice to have electric and water on site. So many hiking trails. Very well maintained and marked but lots of stairs. Trail maps however not the best. Cherokee Falls is beautiful.

Amicalola Falls State Park Camping
Loved it
We arrived just before sunset & we were in a rush to set up before it started to pour. We had no trouble finding our reserved site & while we were getting settled, the hosts (Cocoa & Ryan) popped over to welcome us & also brought back firewood a few mins later. The sky opened up shortly after & it poured ALL night long, but our site didn’t flood. Quiet hours began at 10 PM, and I didn’t hear a peep from anyone else after that! The bathrooms stayed clean for our entire stay, & the hosts graciously offered us a ride to the hiking trails in their golf cart the next morning, so we didn’t have to fold up our rooftop tent to drive down. I wish we would have been able to stay longer, and we can’t wait to return!

Lookout Mountain-Chattanooga West KOA
Nice but not welcoming
This is a nice spot with decent sites. It has a large although dated pool with minimal seating and no shade, there is a pavilion with shade on the other side of the pool fence. The dog park is large but all gravel with no grass or dirt. There is a jump pillow which the kids enjoyed. The real downfall to this KOA is the not welcoming and unfriendly staff. The check in process felt aggressive and any encounter with staff that I was involved in or witnessed was not very friendly at all.

Morganton Point Campground
Fantastic Spot to Camp
This place is great. The spaces are spaced out, so you don’t feel like you are on top of each other. We were on lot 7 which was right on the lake. The view was perfect. Water and electric worked great. The bathrooms were immaculate and heated, plenty of hot water. Will definitely come camp here again. From metro ATL, it’s just under a 2 hour drive up.
