Best Glamping near Canton, GA

Red Top Mountain State Park Campground houses luxury glamping accommodations on the shores of 12,000-acre Lake Allatoona, just north of Atlanta and convenient to Canton. The park features comfortable yurts with electricity and climate control, offering a perfect blend of natural surroundings and modern comfort. Stone Mountain Park Campground, located about an hour southeast, also provides upscale yurt accommodations with thoughtful amenities. Both locations include picnic tables and fire rings at each site, with clean shower facilities and restrooms nearby. The glamping sites provide excellent water views, particularly at Red Top Mountain where many yurts offer direct lake access and scenic vistas. Amicalola Falls State Park also features similar high-end accommodations. One guest shared, "I could live in this cottage! Red Top Mountain State Park has it all - Allatoona Lake, a marina, fishing, boating, kayaking, camping, lakeside cottages, yurt, camp store, beach, miniature golf, food vendor, etc."

The natural settings of these glamping destinations enhance their appeal with extensive recreation options. Red Top Mountain provides 15 miles of shaded hiking and mountain biking trails through wooded terrain, with direct access to Lake Allatoona for swimming, fishing, and boating activities. Many glamping accommodations are strategically positioned for optimal lake views and easy water access. The parks maintain clean facilities with heated bathhouses during colder months, laundry services, and camp stores for essential supplies. Fort Mountain State Park Campground, while slightly farther from Canton, offers another glamping option with similar amenities in a more secluded mountain setting. According to a camper, "The campground is gate code controlled and sprawled across a tree covered, large hilly area. Depending on where you camp will determine the amount of space and privacy you will enjoy." Reservations are essential, particularly during peak summer and fall seasons when these unique accommodations fill quickly.

    One with Nature Glamp Camp

    Awesome Getaway in the City

    This is a cute eclectic glamping ground that has a lot of character. There are 2 bell tents in the area. One setup with a king bed and the other a twin bed. The amenities are mind blowing…….top tier linens, mobile power units, lighting, movie projector, movie speaker and yes a wood burning stove in your tent. There is an outdoor shower, port-a-potties and sanitary wipes to handle business. Their indoor bathroom facility is under construction. This place is awesome! Get in before the prices go up☝️

    Jenny's Creek Family Campground

    Great Family Campground!

    We stayed here over July 4th weekend and it was a really great experience! The campground is nice and well kept. The bathrooms were so clean and so nice! They are air conditioned with three stall and three showers. They also have a nice playground on site as well as a air conditioned club house they provides a nice break from the heat. They also have firewood and I’ve on site which is really convenient. The owners are super nice and come by each morning to pick up your trash. We enjoyed fishing in the pond and trekking through the creek. We would highly recommend for anyone camping in the Cleveland/Helen area.

    Two Wheels of Suchess

    Love TWoS!!!

    I have stayed here 3 or 4 times. The owner takes great great pride in his ownership. He was able to buy it from a family whom let the place go down hill then rebuilt it himself with family and friends. The cabins are warm at night without the need for a heat source. The shower house is also climate controlled. There are no designated places for tents therefore you don't necessarily have to stay in the first spot you picked. Another thing I love about the ownership is your bill is on the honor system. They will not hound you about what you owe. You can pay as you go or wait for the total as you leave. You are far enough in the sticks but also close to whatever you need from down the road. He placed 2 or 3 (can't remember) posts for electricity and never complained about me stinging my 100' extension cord through the creek so we could enjoy the fire pits as well as the electricity for phones and tent heaters. Their food is very good too sadly, only on the weekends from Friday evening to Sunday morning.

    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.

Moved to site 47(Pull-Thru) but due to road slope pull-thru is un-usable. Lower numbered sites(less than 30) appear somewhat better. Empty camp ground host side byhind 47 cannot be used unless site 47 is emprty due to sloping road. One single use dump station. One campground host presently in the park- their site was not marked. Appears that most sites are back-in and set sideways to a hillside and lakefront leaving very little level space for chairs. Fire rings are frequently located 12-20 feet away from picnic table and 3 to 9 feet below site level on a slope. Reservation Software used by office was down upon Saturday arrival with no IT help until Monday- two days away leaving office staff frustrated and using their own phone to access the reservation system customers use instead of management side of software. Staff stated it goes down frequently with no IT support on weekends. Six bathhouses in park. Bathhouse nearest beach closed awaiting replacement of fixtures after renovation. Shower has outdated fixtures- several shower heads had significant mineral deposits restricting flow. Men's side closed at another bathhouse. Many shower stalls had no hook or fixture to hang a towel or clothing. Several showers had broken shower valves making them unusable. Stayed 9 nights and did not see anyone working on bathhouses. Beach area parking is limited to 6 or 7 spaces and one handicap space however, there is a larger parking lot a little further away. Bathhouse showers have a pull string valve next to the shower head that had to be held down to get water with many strings broken, missing and too short to allow shorter people, children, or handicaped wheel-chair use. Some sites have precarious/dangerous sloping driveways for RVs to get into. Newly installed sites are near completion but they make sites very close together. Many sites do not have a fire pit and many do not have a grill. Many sites arer too small to park a second vhicle even if the camper is small. Parking on dirt or grass is prohibited by rules but appears to be selectively enforced. The campground has a boat ramp and reasonably large parking area. Extra careful site selection is warranted. Four docks in River Forks Park. Firewood is available at the office. CHECK-IN: 01:00 PM CHECK-OUT: 12:00 PM RIG: 42ft- 17,000 lb 5th Wheel"

    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!

    Lake Winfield Scott Campground

    Lake Winfield Scott Recreation Area

    Beautiful park. It would have received 5 stars if it had a dump station and wifi (since there is no cell phone service at this park). There is a nice cabin there that rents for $95 per night. It has a wood stove, has no air conditioning, and sleeps 10. The hosts are excellent and the park is very clean.

    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.


Guide to Canton

Lake Allatoona, formed by the Allatoona Dam on the Etowah River, offers 270 miles of shoreline for camping and glamping near Canton, Georgia. The lake sits at 840 feet elevation with water temperatures ranging from 50°F in winter to 80°F in summer. Most campgrounds in the region operate from April through October, though several maintain year-round availability.

What to Do

Hiking options: Fort Mountain State Park Campground provides extensive trail networks with significant elevation changes. "There are a lot of hills here so expect this when walking to bathouses from most campsites. We had inconsistent cell coverage even with a Winegard booster with AT&T and Verizon. Mornings were best reception and evening were not so good," notes one camper who visited for 10 days.

Fishing access: At Mckinney Campground, anglers can fish directly from their lakefront sites. "We always stop here on our trips down to florida and we always stay a couple days as we love to get a waterfront site and they are nice, clean sites with lots of shade and pet friendly. We love to fish and we always catch several kinds but the crappie are so delicious," shares one regular visitor.

Swimming beaches: Many campgrounds feature designated swimming areas with varying amenities. "The campsite was right next to the swimming beach so little to no privacy and very loud. Although I slept very well in my tent because Quiet hours were observed. It was nice waking up to view of Lake Allatoona," notes a camper at Clark Creek South Campground.

What Campers Like

Tent-friendly sites: Amicalola Falls State Park Camping offers specialized camping options beyond standard RV hookups. "I read a lot before my trip, so I knew to except the 25% grade incline going up to the campground. I wasn't however expecting the challenging parking in the campsite. Beautiful area, my teens loved it. They found all kinds of insects they had never seen even a Luna moth," reports a family who tent camped there.

Platform camping experiences: Fort Mountain State Park's unique platform sites provide an elevated glamping option. "I've never slept outside of a tent. I've always wanted to, but never had the guts to do it... There is definitely active wildlife here! Two other couples at two separate platform sites had encounters with a bear the same weekend I was here. Needless to say, I did it! I slept outside of a tent!!" shares a first-time platform camper.

Private lake access: Clark Creek South Campground offers direct water access from most campsites. "Perfect views of the lake, some spots lead directly down to the water. Huge spots, well-spaced and friendly hosts!" notes one reviewer who appreciated the layout and spacing between sites.

What You Should Know

Seasonal limitations: Many campgrounds have restricted operating schedules. "Trip taken Labor Day 2018. Still pregnant. I can't complain about this trip as I barely remember it! I can confirm I had good signal on my phone as basically all we did was watch football. All the sites appear to be waterfront but ours, 87, kind of wasn't. But it was shady and pretty," explains a visitor to Shady Grove Campground, which operates March through November.

Alcohol restrictions: Several county parks prohibit alcohol consumption. "Nice campground. If you enjoy having a beer while camping don't come here. Beautiful day, beer in a solo cup playing cards with my wife at a picnic table. We were not making noise, nobody complained about us. Ranger pulls up and gave us both tickets. We had a mandatory court appearance, turns out each ticket is $280.00," warns a camper from Shady Grove Campground.

Highway noise concerns: Traffic sounds affect some campgrounds more than others. "This place is nice overall. Lots of sites are water front, that's a plus. But it is so close to i75 that the sound of traffic is constant; during the day is manageable but at night it makes it hard to sleep if you are in a tent and are a silent sleeper," notes a camper at COE Allatoona Lake Old Highway 41 No 3 Campground.

Tips for Camping with Families

Beach activities: Several campgrounds maintain dedicated swim areas with amenities. "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. Would absolutely camp here again. The shower house was a little dirty, so that's why I gave 4 stars instead of 5," shares a family who stayed at Stone Mountain Park Campground.

Wildlife education opportunities: Many campgrounds feature diverse wildlife viewing. "The campground is gate code controlled and sprawled across a tree covered, large hilly area. Friendly staff, with the Jr ranger program still going with the help of adult campers during covid. Still so much fun and so clean and beautiful!!" notes a family who participated in educational programs at Red Top Mountain State Park.

Playground facilities: Several parks include play equipment for children. "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," remarks a family-focused camper at Red Top Mountain.

Tips from RVers

Site selection considerations: When glamping near Canton with a large RV, carefully review site dimensions. "We have a 27' airstream and there are a couple campsites that are hard to get into. Number 18 does not look hard, but the layout is very difficult to get into. The bend halfway into the campground would be extremely difficult with much bigger than 27' camper," advises an RV owner from Amicalola Falls.

Leveling challenges: Some campgrounds require additional equipment for RVs. "The park is nice with plenty of amenities. I had two complaints. We stayed creekside at site 24. The site had about a 5 inch difference shopping towards the road. I used rocker blocks maxed out (about 4 inches in height) and still was not level," shares an RV camper at Fort Mountain State Park.

Utility hookup access: Many sites offer variable electric service. "Being our first stop ever we were happy to have the friendly helpful staff. The lots are spaced out a bit so even if you have to unload dogs or children, you won't be on top of the next slot. Large bathroom/showers though they are not exactly constant," notes a camper at Clark Creek South regarding the water service.
