Top Dispersed Camping Areas near Cedartown, Georgia

19 Reviews

Several dispersed camping options exist within driving distance of Cedartown, Georgia, offering free primitive camping for outdoor adventurers. Sky Mtwy Dispersed in Alabama features a steep dirt road access with primitive tent sites where a fire lookout tower once stood. The area allows alcohol, fires, and pets, but lacks facilities. One camper noted, "It's a nice ride up on a very steep at times dirt road. It's private but there's a ton of houses in the area with people driving up and down the road."

Hidden Creek Campground in Georgia provides free remote camping for both tent and RV campers, though road conditions present challenges. The access road contains significant potholes that may be difficult for low-clearance vehicles. A visitor reported, "There are a few substantial pot holes, so wouldn't recommend for someone driving a super low vehicle." Blue Hole Dispersed in Crockford-Pigeon Mountain WMA offers tent and RV sites with free camping and fire rings. This area prohibits alcohol, and according to a camper, "Land pass required. No alcohol is permitted. This is a wildlife management area. The camp sites are first come, first serve."

    Sky Mtwy Dispersed

    Beautiful remote place to set up for the night

    It took us a bit to get here. Google maps tries to send you a way that doesn’t exist. Stay on Campbell rd until you are in the park on a gravel / dirt road and then keep driving. For being a gravel dirt road it’s pretty well maintained. The pull offs for van camping are limited and extremely dispersed off the multiple dirt roads. Some going very deep in the Forrest. We found a great pull through one on the left across from the fire watch tower. Limited to no trash. Beautiful piney woods. Plenty of wood. Completely quiet. Maybe 3 cars pulled past all day. Some cell service. Plenty of trails to hike.

    Hidden Creek Campground

    Pretty Decent Place to Stay

    A little farther off the highway than I wanted to go, but definitely a solid free campsite. There are a few substantial pot holes, so wouldn’t recommend for someone driving a super low vehicle. Also GPS isn’t perfect. It will take u to someone’s private property next door. Look for the big wooden sign that indicates that it is for public use.

    Sky Mtwy Dispersed

    Nice for a night

    We got here an hour before sun down. It’s a nice ride up on a very steep at times dirt road. It’s private but there’s a ton of houses in the area with people driving up and down the road. Once the sun went down there was too many outside noises for us to feel comfortable so we packed up. Very strange noises. Very buggy as well

    Blue Hole Dispersed- Crockford-Pigeon Mountain WMA

    Great Place To Bring In Spring

    I’m giving this place a 5/5 starts for my first experience primitive camping on my own with some friends. We were the first ones there so we had the leisure of picking which site we wanted. The designated camping area was recently scorched, so ground critters/excessive shrubbage was minimal. Was easy to find and collect firewood.

    The site we chose has trash/metal in the fire pit and a hallow tree stump was used for a trash can. Don’t be those people. We cleaned up the campsite and made it our own. We had neighbors show up round 9pm, but they were friendly, quiet, and kept to themselves. The area was peaceful and I got some pretty stunning pics. It was truly a great camping experience. I did see a non-venomous rat snake a little ways away from the main camp area, so just watch your step.

    We hiked at Cloudland the next day and it was so packed (we went camping literally the first day of Spring), so if you want a more relaxed, secluded camping vibe close to Cloudland, this is your spot. Highly recommend getting a Georgia land pass before camping here ($30 and easy to get online).

    Sky Mtwy Dispersed

    Great free spot

    Pulled in after dark, got up here and through the wet terrain just fine in a 2010 toyota sienna camper build. I read someone else speak of hearing eerie sounds. So that peaked my interest to come out even more. Those sounds im lead to believe is what I too heard, at night, owls, bats, frogs. My whistlening steaming kettle to see what else would appear. To no avail, only a few pinecone on my rooftop solar and a branch that shattered itself next to the van. Wonderful free spot

    Blue Hole Dispersed- Crockford-Pigeon Mountain WMA

    Great FREE spot!

    We stayed 3 days 2 nights here in our 21’ pop up camper with our generator. Road is pretty well maintained, spots are good size, some only large enough for tent/car camping. We were never bothered and it’s right down the road from blue hole and Ellison Cave trail.

    Group Camp near Blue Mountain Shelter — Cheaha State Park

    Group Backpacking Site

    This is a backcountry site right along the trail that you pass a minute or two before you get to the Blue Mountain Shelter. I have linked to that review and I highly suggest checking it out first since it covers some of the directions for hiking into this area. This specific site is more suited for groups however since it has multiple flat areas for lots of tents and several fire pits if you want to spread out. You can set up camp here and hike further on to get to some of the nearby viewpoints which are well worth the trek. This site isn’t that special but practical if you need the space and want to have a nice jumping off point to see some of the other sites in the area.

    Hidden Creek Campground

    Very Decent Primitive Spot

    Overall we enjoyed this stay! GPS wants to take you to where the road dead ends but the actual turn off is before the end of the road on the right where the big wood sign is. The first road is pretty nice but then the road forks. We went right which goes up, passed an open gate followed the road LOTS OF DEEP POTHOLES. The road then opens up to a four way, we kept going straight, followed the road down and then came to three sites all empty. It was quiet and we were alone so overall we enjoyed other than the deep potholes. Our truck is pretty high and 4x4 so wasn’t too bad for us but a low car may not fair as well. We were there on a Friday
